"Nogla how the fuck did the giant pancake ass get covered in THAT much maple syrup? I think there's more syrup than pancakes now!", Wildcat said looking at their food statue still there.
"Well ya see I guess that Nora chick was planning on eating it a some point, so she covered it in the syrup. But she was pretty upset when I told her there were explosives in it. At least the sugar will preserve the pancakes until we get rid of it", Nogla said crossing his arms.
"What? When the fuck did you put an explosive in it? And WHY?", Wildcat asked.
"Well I was planning to test my new explosives", Nogla said reaching into his bag. He pulled out a disk shaped device the size of a pancake. It had a black metallic look to it and a red light in the center. It almost looked like a landmine.
"What the fuck is that?!"
"This is the Puncake Mk. IV. It explodes with the force of four C4 detonations", he said proudly.
"Why the hell did you put it in there?"
"It was going to be an explosion of comedy", Nogla punned.
"Dude, seriously?", Wildcat asked deadpanning.
"YOU MAKE PUNS TOO?!", Yang yelled running over.
"Oh jesus fucking christ not two horrible pun enthusiasts...", Wildcat said facepalming his pig mask.
"Believe me it's only going to get worse", Weiss said standing beside him.
Before Yang could say anything else Wildcat felt the need to put some sense into Nogla. Pulling hm from the back of his shirt he ignored Nogla complaining about stretching his shirt before he spun him around and practically bashed his helmet off Nogla's head.
"Listen to me", Wildcat said. His mask wasn't on so he could project as much seriousness in his face as possible. "I don't care if you feel like make puns. But I'm going to say this now because I know it's going to get annoying. And when it does I'm gonna hit you with a rocket that won't explode. And when this hits you I want you to know it means", Wildcat said hitting him with his helmet. "Shut. The Fuck. UP."
"Oh come on Wildcat, they're straight from the heart" Nogla said being let go.
"They come from the ass. Straight from the ass. Which is why they stink", Wildcat retorted.
"Do you kiss our mother with that mouth?", Port said coming from nowhere.
"Only with the mask on sir."
"Your humor is odd."
"Or maybe you're old", Nogla said getting Port's attention. Nobody could see Port's eyes past his eyebrows, so they just sunk a little bit.
"What? Was it something I said?"
"Yes Nogla. It was everything you said. In fact, you should stop talking. Now", Wildcat said putting his hand over Nogla's big mouth.
Port cleared his throat. :Ladies, I expect you two to keep these young men in line?"
"Yes professor", Weiss said.
"Good. Now what have we here?", Port said approaching the giant pancake butt.
"It's our latest creation", Nogla said.
"How did you get syrup in there?", he asked curiously. Nogla was going to answer but didn't have the time as Weiss cut him off.
"Is that really what's important?", she said looking to Wildcat. "We left you four alone for no more than twenty minutes!"
"Knowledge."
"Oh shut up."
"It has explosives in it", Nogla said randomly.
"What?! Dear god why?!", Port said almost showing his eyes. Almost. As it turns out he is also squinting constantly underneath those eyebrows.
"I needed to test some of my new Puncake models out. But they aren't live right now. So unless someone rips into that thing and messes with them, there's no real danger", Nogla explained.
"But why would you test them on school grounds?!"
"It'll be an explosion of-"
'CLUNK'
"OW HOLY FUCK THAT HURT!"
"I warned you Nogla! Next one is coming for your jewels!", Wildcat said putting his weapon away.
"OH GAWD! THE PAIN! THE PAAAAIIIN!"
"Nogla are you okay?", Yang said worried.
"He's fine", Wildcat said.
"I AM NOT FINE!"
"He's fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine"
"I THINK I HAVE A CONCUSSION!"
"Well, we'd better get going", Port said dismissing the screaming Nogla.
"WAIT A MINUTE!"
"But who is watching your classes?", Weiss asked.
"I don't know they'll find someone."
"What?!"
"Alright let's get going!", Port said walking off.
"That's just as irresponsible as they are!", Weiss said somewhat surprised.
"I HAVE A CONCOCTION!"
"Do you mean a concussion?", Yang asked.
"SHUT UP!"
"Children! We need to get going!", Port called from the airship. Yang picked up Nogla's ;eg and dragged him along with the rest of the group.
"Come on big guy."
"I can walk on my own! I got hit in the head not the fuckin legs!"
"Not if you keep making puns!", Wildcat called over. With everyone on board the small airship, and Nogla recovering from a minor head trauma the airship took off and the group was sent on their mission.
"Alright everyone, let's debrief", Port said.
"Don't you mean brief?", Wildcat corrected.
"Shush. Now then. We are going into the southern part of Vale by the industrial area. We're investigating intelligence on White Fang. This is pretty unusual, considering it's not Beacon's matter in the whole White Fang mess, but after the breach in the city last time General Ironwood has deemed action is necessary."
"So what, were… reconnaissance? Investigating?", Yang asked confused.
"Not exactly. Word has it there may be another Vigilante on the run around here."
"What?! Another one?! We already have four! Why are we looking at another random person running around being a hero?", Weiss asked concerned.
"The White Fang activity has increased dramatically in the last few days. Local enforcement is no longer able to handle as such. But this new person apparently is."
"Wait", Wildcat said. "The entire local police enforcement can't stop some White Fang thugs from taking a small sector of factories or some shit, but this guy can?"
"Would you like to see what he did to the last building they set up shop in?", Port asked holding up his scroll.
Everyone looked to the holographic screen projected device. "This is the security footage from the CCT network in Vale. As you can see they have cut off shipments of weaponry, and even took some of the workers there with them to run the machinery. But with limited resources, by cutting off the southern routes they also cut off their own factory supply", Port explained pointing to the various clips and pictures.
"This was the Building after a couple hours of our suspects infiltration", he said holding up a pre live feed.
"Wait, I don't see any differen- HOLY SHIT IT BLEW UP!", Wildcat said surprised.
"Exactly. Which is why we must find… him", Prt said pointing to the person walking out of the warehouse doors. He was completely unaffected. At least by the looks of it. Except…
"What's that on his face?", Yang asked curiously.
"We believe it may be some sort of artificial enhancement or implant. What's even scarier-"
"Oh my god look at his eyes! They're like red! REALLY RED! Like, glowing hot metal red! Are his eyes fake?", Yang asked again.
"Possibly."
"So wait, did the White Fang do this to him? Is he some kind of Robot or something? I mean they did capture a large production area but I don't think they have THAT kind of technology", Nogla pitched in. Nobody actually noticed until now, but he was still on the floor.
"How can you even see the video down there?", Wildcat asked.
"We don't think so", Port said tapping the to a new feed. "Because this is where he arrived." The screen played. It showed an open courtyard, likely where the loading bay for supplies and shipments were. The entrance to the building was in a blind spot, but they had a clear view of the area outside and few White Fang members.
"He arrived in the middle of their operation? Where is he?", Weiss said looking around the feed. On the tiny feed there was a lightning strike. The arc startled one of the them. The others turned to look around but failed to see what the only one behind them had. Then another strike. They all stepped back. Then another. And another. Until finally several strikes struck in a centralized area and a giant sphere of light formed. The light disappeared from top to bottom as a man stood up from his crouched position. It was him alright. He uttered something, but couldn't be heard as there was no audio. Then proceeded to kick everyone's ass. Rather quickly also. Then in an instant, just flashed away.
"Wha- He's gone!", Yang said surprised.
"Yes. It appears this new person has the ability to teleport. Quite the tricky semblance. It makes him very hard to catch", Port said drawing his scroll back into his pocket. "And your job is to find him."
"So how do we find him? The south side of Vale is only so big, and if he can just appear from place to place then it's unlikely we'll find him", Weiss said crossing her arms.
"Well, he appears to be tracking White Fang, and any usual thugs around here so it's likely if we cause a stir with some of said people, he'll show", Port said.
*THUD*
"Which is why you're here", he said pointing out the airship.
"Where is here?", Nogla asked.
"Oh god dammit", Yang said stepping out.
"What? Know this place?", Wildcat asked looking at the area in front.
"Yeah I kinda destroyed it once. I'm not exactly known for a good reputation here. But I know somebo- wait, Professor Port, how did you know to bring us here?", Yang asked half concerned.
"I didn't. But I do now. My original idea was to look at the place he arrived last."
Yang nervously put her hand behind her head. "Um professor, would you mind we go in alone? This is kinda already embarrassing as it is, aaaaaaaand I just don't uh-"
"Is nobody gonna ask about why our airship landed in the middle of the street?" Nogla pointed out.
"Oh yeah, That is weird. Where are all the cars?", Weiss asked looking around.
"This particular area is under barricade."
"BARRICADE?! They're barricading a guy who can teleport?!", Wildcat threw his arms up in the air.
"No. They are barricading the site of the event."
"What event?"
"That one.", Port pointed at the building as an explosion sounded breaking the glass window above the club.
"What the hell?! How long ago was he here?!"
"About ten minutes before we arrived."
"And you didn't think to get us here sooner?', Weiss asked drawing Myrtenaster.
"Ms. Schnee, we took the airship that could land in the middle of the street. How much faster would you like us to arrive next time?" Another explosion broke the the atmosphere.
"Why here?", Yang asked.
"We believe he is looking for someone here. He appears to strike and leave rather quickly and this is where we predicted he would be next."
*BOOM*
"We were right."
"Come on guys let's go in! We gotta stop him before he blows up this place!", Nogla said running straight in.
"Goddammit Nogla wait up!", Wildcat ran in after him. The other two looked at Professor Port.
"I'd get going if I were you two. You never know what could be going on in there."
"What about you?", Yang asked.
"I am going to watch the ship. Besides, I don't want to have to have my mustache exploded." Yang and Weiss turned tail and headed in. Weiss groaned. "Why do we keep getting the weird jobs? I can't handle another one of these guys."
Linebreak
Nogla stopped in his tracks when he saw the clubs condition. The dance floor was on fire in one spot, and the rest was no longer a dance floor. There was tons of broken glass, and debris, and some of the light's were broke. He looked around. The guys were sprawled out everywhere. It was a mess.
"Hey shit head I said to… wait", Wildcat said. "What the hell happened here?"
"I think in the ten minutes it took us to get here, it was self explanatory from then on. What the hell kinda weapon did this guy have?"
"I don't know, but it looks like an entire firefight happened here. Hey there's a guy!"
"No shit, there's lots of them. They're all knocked out."
"No I mean- ugh shut up and follow me." Wildcat ran over to the bar. There was a sharply dressed guy flopped over onto the counter. Wildcat and Nogla grabbed him and sat him upright. He appeared to be the only guy still conscious around here.
"Hey you know what happened here?", Wildcat asked.
"Who the hell are you? What are you doing here? You kids shouldn't be here… Holy shit I'm seeing a pig person. I got hit way too hard", he said delirious. Wildcat gripped him by the shirt and head bashed him with the helmet.
"Ow!"
"There's your reality check for ya. What guy? Where is he?"
"Jesus that didn't feel good. Help the girl. She's upstair-"
*Thunk*
*BOOM*
The entire second floor behind then broke as a small hole was now in the ceiling. Debris and dust kicked up but when it cleared they could see a girl was sent through the floor.
"What the hell?!"
"That's her. Just kick this guys ass for me would ya?"
"Nogla, Wildcat!", Yang yelled as she and Weiss ran inside.
"Oh god no! You already broke my place once, don't break it again", the guy said tiredly.
"Junior, I couldn't break this place anymore even if I wanted to! And what the hell is she doing here?, Yang pointed to the girl who was sent through the second floor.
"Isn't that the girl who kicked your butt on the train?", Weiss asked.
"Oh don't you even start!" A heavy crash landed in the center of the room. Through the hole that lead to the second floor he jumped down. His heavy body crunched the ground under him when he landed beside the girl, and pointed a loaded shotgun at her.
"Holy shit that's him!", Wildcat said.
"Neopolitan. You are Ter-"'
He wasn't able to finish as Nogla sent a grenade in his face.
"Watch it!", Junior yelled.
"FIRE IN DA HOOOOOOOOLE", Nogla screamed pumping out various grenades. They all hit directly in blew him straight into the wall. He was practically stuck at this point. Wildcat ran over and helped Neo up, before trying to get her out of there. She coughed and fell over while Nogla made sure the guy with the robot face wasn't going anywhere.
"Whoa whoa whoa what's going on here?", Yang asked running over to Wildcat.
"She's hurt. She need to get somewhere safe. I'm pretty sure this guy is after her."
"She's a criminal!"
"She's gonna die if we let her near that guy!"
"She almost killed me!"
"And if you let her die then you're not much better than she is now are you? Now shut up and help me get her the fuck out of here!", Wildcat said. He didn't have time for this. Yang grit her teeth. She was clearly angry at this. But he was right. She was a huntress. And her job was to protect everyone.
"Fuck. Okay. Get her-"
"aaaaAAAAAAAHHHHHHHhhhhhhh!"...
*crash*
She was interrupted by Nogla literally going across the room after another explosion. In the process he crashed right into Wildcat, and sent him across the floor.
"Goddammit Nogla!"
"He's out of the wall", Nogla said now behind the bar.
"No fucking shit! I can see he's out of the wall!", Wildcat yelled back. He looked up to see Eno was no longer there, but was now fighting the guy.
Neo thrust the end of her weapon toward his head. But he simply dodged and grabbed the umbrella and headbut her. Neo switched eye colors quickly as she blinked away the dizziness. Then she fell over. The guy was about to stomp her through the chest when she disappeared into a bunch of shard like pieces.
Weiss shot toward him striking him straight in the chest. White sparks cracked as his aura flared protecting from him what would have otherwise probably killed him. Her pulled a shotgun from seemingly nowhere and fired off a shell in her direction. Weiss flipped backward and kicked the end of his gun up causing him to miss.
"You are not to be eliminated. Any further action will result in Termination.", he said in his accented voice. Yang leapt over her and smashed her fist into his face at full strength. He stumbled to the ground. His head was metal and she should have expected his sturdiness. Yang saw he was getting back up and kept Ember Celica ready.
"Who are you?!", Yang shouted.
"It does not matter. You must hand over Neopolitan to me before it is too late. I have been assigned to eliminate her."
Yang just stared at him. Her expression went from serious to blank. Then she fell over and started laughing.
"Yang what the hell are you doing?!", Weiss asked clearly angry.
"HE-he-he-he his VOICE! It's so FUNNY!", she said as she continued to roll around on the floor.
"What? Oh goddammit it's not that funny!", the guy said in a different accent.
"Wait a minute, you we're doing a fake accent?", weiss looked back and forth between the two.
"Negative*ZAPP* AH FUCK!", he shouted falling to his knees holding his head.
"What? What the hell? What's going on?!", Weiss said in confusion. On her side was her team member rolling on the floor recovering from laughing and in front of her was a robot person having a malfunctioning problem with his voice. "Is anyone going to answer me? Seriously what the hell is happening?!"
"He-he-he-he said Negative. HAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Oh shut up blondie!"
"Aw come on do the voice again!"
"No fuck off!"
"Oh come on!", Yang said still looking at him from the floor.
"Ahh my head… Ah holy fuck it hurts. Ugh man I can't feel my face", he said tapping the metal half of his face. "Huh? Oh what the hell? Hey what the hell is this?", he asked Weiss realizing it was not actually his face.
"What your head?"
"NO! What the hell is on my face! Get it off me! Hurrrgh", he said trying to figure out what the hell was this hard thing on his actual face. Weiss kept looking at him but whispered to Yang. "Yang I think you hit him too hard…"
"Really? You think? Why do you think that?", Yang asked still on the floor.
"HAAAAAAAAAAA! WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY FACE?!"
"What the hell is going on over here?", Wildcat said walking up next to Weiss.
"HAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"I think he's having a mental breakdown"
"Everyone shut up! Alri-high-ight. Let me at em a second time. I got this", Nogla said walking over sluring. He must have been hit pretty hard.
"Nogla where's your weapon?", Wildcat asked.
"NAH nah nooo. I don't need no weapon. I can take him with my my bare fists!", he said getting up into a fighting Irish pose. The the guy shot him with his shotgun. "Nogla!", Yang said finally getting up.
"I'm good!", he said giving a thumbs up from the floor. "I'm gonna take a nap now" Then his head hit the floor. Wildcat sighed.
"I'll bring him outside", Wildcat said walking to the back to get his weapon.
"Wait! What do we do with him?!", Weiss asked looking at the guy. His arm was still stretched out to where Nogla as standing with the shotgun in hand. Yang and Weiss looked at him as he was on his knees.
"What?"
"What? What?! You came in here and destroyed the place and practically blew up that girl and all you have to say after that is WHAT?!", Weiss asked.
"What're you talking about? I just got here! Wait, where the fuck am I?", he said shaking his head. As his head snapped back up his eyes shifted from their bright red to brown. "Wait what the hell is going on? How did I get here?! Where the fuck am I?!", he said putting the pieces together. Weiss' face grew a mix of confused and concerned.
"So you don't remember any of this?"
"No. Where am I?"
"You're at Junior's bar. Or club. Whatever it is", Yang explained.
"Who's Junior"
Yang pointed in the back to the guy leaning over the bar counter. "That guy."
"Oh hey! Yeah I remember him! I kicked his ass! Alright sweet!"
"No! Not sweet! You destroyed this place!", Weiss said.
"I did this?"
"YES!"
"Awesome!"
"NO!"
"I don't know Weiss, it is pretty awesome", Yang said. Weiss just glared at her. "What? Don't knock it till you try it." With that she walked over and offered the guy a hand up. He stood up, but nearly pulled Yang's arm down in the process.
"Ow! Holy shit you're heavy!", She said gripping her hand.
"Yang!", Weiss shouted clearly not glad Yang was helping the enemy up.
"What? He's harmless!", Yang said turning around. Behind Weiss she saw Wildcat dragging Nogla by the leg out the doors.
"He blew up a nightclub!"
"So what? So did I."
"So did I? That's your excuse?!"
"Awesome!", he said behind Yang.
"Shut up you!", Weiss shouted. "Yang, he nearly killed Neo! He assaulted everyone in the bar, he blew a hole in the ceiling, he committed crimes!"
"My last point still stands Weiss", Yang said smirking. Weiss held her arms out as if trying to grasp something while clenching her teeth. "Am I the only one who sees anything wrong with this?!", she shouted.
"I do!", Junior shouted from the back.
"Shut up!" Weiss let out a stressed sigh. "Yang we can't just let him off the hook."
"Yes we can.", he said from behind Yang.
"Shut up robot!"
"Sure we can. I did it before. It was no big deal.", Yang said.
"But then what do we do about the other things?", Weiss asked.
"Oh wait, I'm remembering something!", he said. Yang turned around and looked at him.
"My name is Brian!"
"That's cool", Yang said. "My name is Yang, as you heard Weiss yell. And that's Weiss. You're gonna have to come back to beacon with us though."
"You mean the hunter huntress academy school thingy?"
"Yeah why?"
"Oh I know that place! I was actually going there!"
"So why are you here?", Yang asked referring to the destroyed nightclub.
"Uhhhh. OH wait a minute something's happening!", Brian said touching his hand to his head. Weiss gripped her weapon tighter. Yang saw his eyes turn red for a second and stepped back.
"Uh wait! What the hell is going on? I'm seeing something! Something in my robot eyes!", he said looking at nothing in particular
"What is it?", Yang asked.
"Uh lets see. Terroriser Mk. T-850. Ordered to kill Neopolitan aaaaaaaaand there's a new item on the Mcdonald's breakfast menu. Wait a minute, why the hell is that in there?"
"Wait a minute you're a what?", Weiss asked.
"What's on the new breakfast menu?", Yang asked.
"Yang", Weiss said getting tired of her shenanigans.
"What? I'm hungry! And it sounds interesting!"
"Do we even know what a Mcdonald's is?", Weiss asked Yang. Yang only shrugged.
"Wait! I've got something! Oh. Oh no. Ahh fuck-", Brian said gripping his head.
"What? What's wrong?", Yang asked.
"It hurts! What are they doing to me?! Stop it!"
"Stop what?! Nothing is happening!", Weiss said.
"AAAHHHHH!", Brain screamed before passing out. His head kicked up and his eyes turned black as if they shut off. He fell over with a thud as his body hit the ground.
"There. See? We didn't even have to do anything", Yang said to Weiss.
"But that doesn't make it any better", Weiss said putting her weapon away. Brian's shotgun clacked as it hit the floor before flashing and disappearing almost instantly.
"What the hell?", Yang said confused. Weiss sighed. "I don't know Yang. Just bring him back to the school with us."
"What? Why do I have to carry him?"
"Because you can hold two people at the same time and I can't. And Wildcat has to drag Nogla and his huge mortar back to the ship.", Weiss said walking towards the doors.
"Ugh fine", Yang said pulling Brian by the arm dragging him out the door. He was partially made of metal. This wasn't too hard for her though.
"Hey!", Junior shouted as the two left the club. One of the light fixtures fell off the ceiling and shattered onto the floor. Junior's head just slumped against the table. The sound of steps made their way closer as Neo came up behind him and pat him on the back.
"Good job. You managed not to get your ass handed to you like I did", he said clearly tired. Neo frowned and tilted her head looking around at the place. She huffed. This was gonna take a while to fix. She grit her teeth and stormed out of the club after them.
"Hey where you going?!"
He didn't get an answer. He never did.
Outside
"Professor Poooooooort! We got a man down!", Wildcat said dragging Nogla out the door. His weapon in the other hand.
"My god what happened to him?!", Port said rushing over.
"He failed to incapacitate the robot guy in a wall, then flew across the room, got up too fast, and got blasted with a shotgun shell. I wouldn't be surprised if he has some bruising. His aura must be gone", Wildcat said.
"But he's not hurt?", Port said inspecting the knocked out Irish lad. Although Ireland and everything Irish doesn't exist on Remnant. Neither does the language English as it didn't originate from Europe, which is also not on Remnant, and we have no Idea what time period the planet is ever in or how long planet cycles are according to time. But you know, there's too many plotholes to worry about the basics. Right now there's a kid knocked out. Port would deal with that later.
"What about the other two?", Port said looking to Wildcat.
"They're negotiating with the robot guy."
"Negotiating? About what? Is it his terms of surrender?"
"The hell if I know. All I know is there's a lot of broken stuff, there's some stuff on fire, a girl broke through the ceiling, then Yang punched it in the head hard enough for it to stop", Wildcat explained.
"Then what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be helping them?", Port said rather worried.
"Nah. I don't think the guy in there knows what he's doing. Also the girl disappeared. But the robot dude KO'd Nogla so I got him out of there. When are we done?", Wildcat said taking a seat on the edge of the airship.
"Well, erm I suppose-"
"PROFESSOR POOOOOOOOOOOOOOORT!", Yang yelled dragging something alongside Weiss. Or someone rather. "This guy knocked himself out!"
"That must have been quite the negotiation", Port said rather surprised two people came dragged out unconscious.
"There was no negotiation. Yang just punched him in the face then they were friends", Weiss said annoyed.
"What? Friends are a good thing.", Yang said dropping Brian's limb. "Professor Port there's more to this guy than we think. He didn't seem to even know he was a robot! You should seen him keep touching face! HE EVEN KNOWS A MC'DONALDS!" Yang said excitedly.
"Who?", Port said.
"Ughhh. My head", Brian said apparently coming to. "What? Where am I? Oh goddammit not again!", he said getting up.
"Again?", Port asked. He looked to Yang. "Did you knock him out twice?"
"Hey Brian", Yang greeted.
"Oh. Right. I'm here", he said almost sounding disappointedly.
"What happened this time?", Yang asked curiously. Clearly something happened in that altered mind of his.
"I uh… I remembered", he said looking away.
"Hey what happened to your eye?", Yang said.
"What do you mean?", he said touching his face.
"Your eyes. One is red, the other is brown dude", Wildcat said from the ship.
"Oh. Huh. Isn't that Ironic", Brian said to himself.
"What do you mea-", Weiss was cut off.
"So Brian is it?", Port said approaching him. He didn't seem to be in the mood.
"I am the Terrorizer- UHG ah shut up!", he said gripping his head.
"Are you talking to me?", Port said sternly.
"No, professor Port it's not that simple. I think he's actually a guy inside of there. He's just working it out", Yang explained.
"Talk about a REAL identity issue", Wildcat said from the ship.
"Fuck you asshole! UHGGGGRAAAAH! Shut UP! I will sell you to RadioShack!", Brian said.
"Where do they keep coming up with these weird store names?", Weiss asked.
"Look, my name is Brian. The other guy is Terroriser. And I fucking hate it. Can I leave now?", he said releasing his head.
"I'm afraid not", Port said gripping his arm. "You're going to have to come with me."
"What? Why the hell do I have to do that?!", Terroriser said yanking his arm away. He broke free from the grip rather easily as his combined strength and weight were far greater than Port's.
"You are responsible for a lot of destruction young man. You deliberately hurt people without good cause and even some innocence along the way! I will not tolerate that without consequence!", Port said raising his voice. Weiss watched interestingly. Even she herself had made the same points just moments earlier. But now they seemed a bit harsh.
"That's a load of bullshit", Wildcat said stepping off the airship.
"Excuse me?", Port said turning around.
"Rightfully so, I think I can say it was out of his choice. We're vigilantes. Not reckless vandals. He had no choice in doing what he did until Yang knocked something loose in there. What he believes was right had no say in the matter. The guy was turned into a fuckin' robot! I do what I do because I believed it was for the best. This guy didn't get the choice. Lay off him man. He hasn't even gotten to be human for that long! You're just gonna make him worse!", Wildcat said defending Terroriser.
"Uhm, Professor Port, I have to agree with Tyler on this one. He was assigned a duty as a ruthless killing machine. We don't even know where he came from. He didn't even know how he got here! You can't just imprison him as if he meant to do it himself. That's no way to leave somewhere to end up on accident", Yang said. She looked over to Brian. "And he has a name. It's Brian. That proves there's a person in there.
Port raised an eyebrow at the conclusion. "I see. To see my children defending what they believe to be true is quite the sight. Ms. Schnee? What do you have to say about all this?", Port said turning to her.
Weiss sighed. "While I think what he did was senseless, and cruel, and completely out of line, I can't deny that being down this road before with Blake, that I know there's more to each side than meets the eye. I'm not entirely thrilled about it, but he's a person. Not a machine. And right now, you can't imprison either", Weiss said not meeting the Professor's eyes. Or eyebrows.
"I see", Port said returning his gaze to Terroriser. "But the people will need answers. Not unlike the others that arrived at Beacon recently."
"Beacon? You mean there's more like me?", he said confused.
"Not exactly. He means Vigilante's. You were fighting a lot of White Fang and their associates along the way, but did so irresponsibly. And technically it's against the law, but there are some loopholes around it", Wildcat said.
"I didn't ask for this. I'm not from here", he said looking down. "I don't recognise any of you. My recorded data highlights all potential threats from huntsmen and huntresses alike. Even if they aren't in Vale. But I know this place. I grew up in Vale. And nothing is the same here.", Brian said.
The others were confused. "What are you talking about? We've never met you before", Weiss said.
"You fucking morons, I'm from the future!
(I'm From the future!)"
"What? The future? Like not now but later future?", Yang asked confused.
"Yes! Or maybe! At least, I don't know. A different one! A possible one! For all I know there could be tons of possibilities!", Terroriser shouted angrily.
"Endless possibilities? Endless futures? Forgive me for sounding rude, but that's preposterous!", Port said.
"No you're a potato!", Nogla shouted on the floor. Everyone turned to see him get up. "Huh? Oh shit what happened? I think I've got bump on my head", he said looking at everyone. His gaze stopped on Terroriser then back to Yang. "Who's this guy?"
"Look, it's true. I already tapped into Vale's communication tower and gathered as much information as I could while I was out. None of this was real. Neither were any of you, or the grimm, or even any of this crap having to do with festivals", Terroriser continued.
"So what did you experience in your timeline?", Port asked curiously.
"The Kingdom of Vale fell, and Atlas refused to withdraw from the war. Afterwards the remaining Kingdom's took action toward Atlas and devised to use their own machines against them. Successfully taking the war, Vale was rebuilt under guidance from the other three kingdom's. But although Vale was defeated, it's people survived and revolted. Wanting to become a free kingdom again, they kept developing technology until right up until right around now, when they built machines, and people were growing desperate to use them And that's where you got me." Brian sighed.
"I didn't wanna take part in this war. It wasn't my choice. I worked in a shop making sandwiches for fucks sake. I went to school here. And I even quit my job to become a huntsmen! I wanted to dedicate my life to keeping the people safe. Not killing them. I left my school from Signal and went to Beacon where people were making a difference. War brought this kingdom together. It could take it apart just as easily. It already happened once. And history repeats itself.", Terroriser finished.
The news shocked them all. Except for Nogla who was still a little out of the conversation.
"Wait", Weiss said. "So what happened to Beacon afterwards? If everything was destroyed by the Atlas military Beacon shouldn't have even been a thing. And they developed machinery to fight the war that early on? If that's the case then how did you even survive?"
"I didn't", Brian said. "Before I got to Vale the first person I met was Neo."
"Neo? You mean the girl in there?", Yang asked pointing behind him. He turned around to see her with her weapon straight at his neck.
"Yeah. And you killed me", he said looking at her. Neo's face didn't move. Her eyes were still filled with malice from the destruction of her home. Yang had already done it once before. She had no problem with wanting to kill her either. "You and I were friends.", he added.
Neo's mouth parted slightly. But her gaze returned to that of hatred and malice rather quickly. "You're the only person I recognised from this world. Your father wasn't here", he turned to look at the others behind him. "And none of you were born", he looked back at Neo.
"You were a criminal. A mess in the eyes of the people of Vale. They wanted you away from here. But I was a criminal too. I was abandoning my duty to fight in the war as a soldier and become a huntsman. And you helped me get to Beacon The only problem is, they didn't accept you. You were one of the ones left crushed by the war. They took what you had. And at the end of the day, all you had left was this kingdom", he said taking a step towards Neo.
"But here you are. Still alive, and still a criminal. The other you deserved to live. Deserved to be a huntsman. But you, you deserve what comes to you. You have the opportunity to make this world a better place, and yet you still choose to fight for evil. You snuck me into Beacon because you believed anyone who could join the fight could make a difference. A difference you never could."
Neo gritted her teeth. She would've screamed shut up right now if she could. He didn't know her. He never knew what she went through. She should kill him right now.
"I should kill you right now", Brian said, gripping her weapon. She struggled to snatch it out of his hand, but kept holding on regardless. "In fact, the other part of me still wants to. Or was assigned to", he bent her umbrella and tossed to the side. Neo was getting aware of just how much of a present threat he was.
"I was the one who spoke for you. Did you know that? Where you couldn't speak, I had two voices for you and I both. The same one they made me use for that machine part of me. It used to make you laugh. In fact, we we're best friends.", he said as he kept walking toward her. She backed away matching each step toward her. He towered above her easily making her feel smaller. She could teleport away easily and leave an image in her place obviously, but he could find her just as fast. If what he said was true, then he knew her. He knew where she lived, who she worked with, and everything to need to know about this world in an instant.
"But you know something? I realized the people at Beacon were just as crazed and hungry as the people who broke it's kingdom. But you? You saw the best in everything because you had the worst. No friends, no family and had to be a criminal because that's how you had to live. To survive. And even more, you had to kill your best friend", he said sopping as she fell over.
The shotgun appeared in his hand. "You killed me because I asked you to."
He loaded a shell in. "I couldn't let them turn me into one of their machines."
He cocked the gun and lowered it down to her level. "And you knew it wouldn't work."
Neo's eyes were wide. Was any of this really true? Was she really about to die from an extension of herself in another world?
"I'm sorry."
"NO!"
*BANG*
The end of the barrel smoked. Neo's eyes remained shut, only to open to realize she wasn't dead. He had moved the end of the shotgun to the side of her head and missed her intentionally.
"Consider this me returning the favor." Brian put the shotgun on his back. "It's my job from the ones who captured me at Beacon to terminate you. But I can't do that. Not after you spared me the process of them turning me into this. Most of it anyway. It never worked. I'm still a goddamned machine, and they sent me back to kill someone like you because you made this kingdom look bad."
"But the difference is", he said turning around. "In this world, they're right." He began walking toward the ship. "Come on guys. Let's go. I'll come to Beacon quietly. If they need answers for the things I've done, then I'll answer to them. Whatever helps to make this kingdom better."
Port nodded and motioned for everyone to get on the airship. Everyone just kinda silently followed. Nogla was still confused to fucking hell but wet along with it. He had a serious headache.
"Well done my boy. You've show the true qualities of what it takes to become a true huntsman", Port said.
"Thanks sir. I'm surprised you didn't stop me. You didn't seem to believe me at first. And I fully expected any of you to try the same", Terroriser said looking to the others on the small airship.
"Well, this seemed more like a personal issue. And I kinda had a feeling you weren't gonna shoot her anyway", Yang said.
"Yeah man. You were fucking awesome. Being all badass with your speech, pretending to shoot her. It was convincing enough for Weiss here to yell NO! That was pretty cool man", Wildcat said.
"Thanks?"
"No problem. You'll fit right in with the other bunch of fuckin' wierdos at our school. Mostly on my team but still."
"Uhh-"
"Is there anything we should do with her Professor Port?", Weiss said mentioning to Neo who was watching as the airship was about to take off.
"Hmm. No. I think Terroriser here has been giving her enough to think about for right now.", Port said stroking his chin.
"It's Brian", he corrected.
"But the people will know you as Terroriser", Port said looking toward him. "Everyone has an alias as a vigilante."
"Hey that works! Wasn't that your other name? The Terroriser?", Wildcat said.
"Yeah. I guess it was. But shouldn't we do something about her? She could just run off and do more things with god knows what intentions", Terroriser said.
"Where has she got to run to? If what you said was true, then she only has this city if that's the case", Port reassured.
"I guess you've got a point."
The ship sounded and began ascending. Everyone grabbed held of something as the ship slowly rose.
"But still, she had the opportunity to change in this world too and still didn't. Shouldn't we at least do something?", Terroriser said louder to not be drowned out by the ship.
"As a huntsman, we're always doing something! Perhaps you should reassure her of that. Any departing words?", Port suggested. Terroriser looked back to see Neo still standing there waiting as the ship left. Terroriser looked at her. He couldn't tell what she was thinking, but was gonna at least say something. Their different colored eyes both met before Terroriser shouted something stupid.
"You have been targeted for Terrorisation! EUAGHHAUGH!"
"HAHAHHAHAAAAAH!", Yang started laughing and almost fell out of the ship.
"Yang come on it was not that funny!", Weiss shouted.
"Seriously! Who the fuck is this guy?!", Nogla shouted.
"Don't worry about it Nogla. You can go blow up some pancake asses when we get back", Wildcat said.
"Oh Holy SHIT! We forgot to take out my PUNCAKES!"
"You mean FUNcakes! Because they're an explosion of fu-"
"YANG! NO!", Weiss cut her off.
They were too far away to understand anything else at this point. Neo just stared and watched as the ship took off in the other direction. She knew where they were headed. They were headed to Beacon. More concerning was they knew where she was. As the ship got smaller into view their voices got quieter, although she stopped listening a while ago. She was thinking. Thinking about lot's of things. She sighed. Thinking wasn't going to get her anywhere. She looked down to her left where her now bent weapon lay. The estoc blade was no doubt broke, or at least unusable now. She picked it up and sighed again. She brought it back inside and dropped it on the counter beside the passed out man next to it before heading back out. This place could be fixed. She lived there temporarily, but she didn't expect that to happen. She started walking down the street toward wherever the nearest place that sold ice cream was.
She was going to need ice cream. A lot of ice cream.
LINEBREAK
"And you believed them?", Glynda asked the two instructors with a disbelieving look.
"How can you not?', Port replied. "One day you set off to recruit some teenaagers to kill monsters and do battle with evil, and in a few days time they made lewd part with food, brought back a mythical creature and a cybernetic organism from an alternate future and/or space. What's so hard to believe about that?"
"The proof is in the pudding Glynda", Oobleck said.
Everyone was currently in Ozpin's office discussing the rather odd turn of events. Not only did everyone not complete their mission, but brought a souvenir back from again, not completing the mission. Ozpin sighed and leaned forward in his chair.
"These things seem to happen increasingly at a faster rate the more we involve the new students. But I suppose there should be other things worthy of disbelief rather constantly. Our most prestigious students are practically living a fairy tale. Speaking of which, has the new team reached their potential yet?", Ozpin said.
"Well, it may be too soon to say. I believe Evan is ambitious and driven enough to accomplish quite the feats, but does so rather unexpectedly. It's as if he were playing a game. His teammate Jonathan is a bit of an oddball. He appears to be a little more internally complicated than I first thought. God knows what goes on in his head. Regardless, neither of the two seem to plan things out. Everything is just a spontaneous idea, and then suddenly we bring back a griffin", Oobleck said rather oddly.
"As for the other two, Evan's teammate Tyler seems a bit outwardly aggressive. But his intentions are undeniably of the best for everyone. And David is quite a character himself. He's just loud and goofy as possible. It makes you wonder his position on being a huntsman in the first place. And yes, I have to say they have absolutely no planning whatsoever. One ran in there in hopes to help, the other ran n in hopes of caution. They have intention, but otherwise go in with only the simplest of mindsets. It's astonishing to me that they managed to bring back someone straight out of a science fiction piece with that mindset", Port reported.
"Ozpin?", Glynda said as he stood up.
"Could we send them in?", Ozpin requested.
"Who? The team's or the robot guy and the bird?", Oobleck asked. "Because the bird won't fit and I think the robot has a potential problem for destroying things."
"The teams."
"Oh of course. Would you like to see them all at once?", Oobleck asked.
"No", Ozpin said turning around. He was glancing out the window overlooking his school grounds. "In fact, I'd like to speak with team RWBY first if possible. From what I understand Evan and Nogla are in the nurse's office. Getting thrown out of the sky, and across a room, I'd say they might need a minute."
"We'll get them here when we can. But I think they have been picking up the unexpected tendencies from team VIDH", Port said.
"Why is that?"
Just outside they heard an explosion followed by Nogla screaming about a pancake hit and stuck to the window. "You know wha-"
*SMACK*
The griffin hit the window full force trying to get the pancake. It flopped around falling in the air before recorrecting and gliding off. Ten the pancake peeled off and fell.
"Just go get the-"
"EUGHAGH! EUGHAGH! EUGHAGH!"
Terroriser flew by the window with a rocket propelling him from his ass. Suddenly the griffin came back and slammed into Terroriser head on. And then kept going.
"AHH! PUT ME DOWN!"
Ozpin should be used to this by now.
"There's your proof Glynda", Oobleck remarked as they witnessed what just happened.
"Find team RWBY as quickly as possible. And can we send some to get them down?", Glynda asked. Suddenly the Griffin flew by again.
"AHHHH!"
"HI MR. OZPIN!"
This time team RWBY was hanging onto the griffin by what looks like to be a makeshift leash.
"Ahem", Port cleared his throat. "Found them."
LINEBREAK
*Ding*
The elevator doors slid open to see the four girls that were previously just way too high up to begin with. "Hi again Mr. Ozpin!", Ruby said nicely.
"Hello Ms. Rose. Please come in with your team. We'd like to have a discussion with you and your team", Ozpin said. Glynda just kind of waited. She must have lowered her expectations by now because she wasn't scolding them in the first few seconds.
"Are we in trouble?", Yang asked.
"I don't know. Should you be?", Ozpin asked smirking.
"Don't answer that", Weiss said before Yang could reply.
"Girls, we would just like to know the events of the mission and what led to you all bringing things back with you. Ms. Rose would you like to start?", Ozpin said.
"Oh, sure. We were sent to the peaks to kill some grimm, report back, document the progress and then come straight back. But we had a little detour. We found no grimm but we did find the griffin. I'm pretty sure it just ate them all. And I think that's about it", Ruby said.
"Wow, way to simplify it", Blake said sarcastically.
"Well I don't wanna wastes their time!", Ruby said back. Blake spoke up next. "We split up into teams of two. Evan and I went up the peaks and Ruby and Jon went down to the forest because there was no grimm near the pass. Ruby and Jon found a cave depicting an ancient painting showing the grimm being killed by-"
*Ding*
"Oh goddammit!", blake shouted. The griffin came walking through the elevator.
"NO! BAD! GO BACK DOWNSTAIRS! SHEW! SHEW! GET OUT OF HERE!"
*GHBAHOGBAH*
"GO ON! BEAT IT!"
*GHBAHBAHBAH*
"AHHHHH!"
*BAGHHHH*
Blake yelled at the bird as it imitated her with bird noises.
"So it can fit it the elevator", Ozpin said remarking the creature that sat down next to Blake flicking it's tail happily.
"Are we not going to talk about how that thing got up the elevator?", Ruby asked.
"Blake", Ozpin said. "Please continue."
Sighing she ignored the bird and continued the debriefing. "Evan and I fell off cliff while Ruby and Jon found a cave where this thing lived. There were some drawings Ruby took pictures of that explained the situation with the grimm."
"You FELL off a CLIFF?!", Glynda asked suddenly.
"Yes. This thing knocked us all the way down to where Jon and Ruby were. It practically body slammed Evan though", Blake finished.
"And then what happened?", Ozpin pressed.
"We regrouped, and the bird came with us. Oobleck wasn't too happy about it either but it kind of followed us back", Ruby added. "Speaking of which, didn't they explain any of this already?"
"Yes, but I'm trying to get the full story. They weren't present for most of the mission in either case", Ozpin said.
"So why not ask team VIDH too?", Weiss asked.
"Because every time I send them to do something someone comes back unconcious. But this time around you all came back with something else as well. Ms. Xiao Long would you like to start with your mission?", Ozpin asked.
"Sure. We-"
*Ding*
Yang was cut off as Terroriser walked out of the elevator.
"Oh son of a-", Weiss was cut off.
"Hi, hello guys. How ya doin? Nice to see you again. Eughagh."
"Hello. I don't believe we've met?', Ozpin said.
"I'm- EHEM! Sorry about that. Names Brian. I was told I was needed to come answer some questions."
Yang was about to start laughing when Weiss put her hand over her mouth.
"So you are The Terroriser. Not the most quaint of names but I suppose it's for good reason. Care to explain a little about yourself?", Ozpin asked.
"Well, ahhhhh. I'm from a separate reality, where instead of grimm ruining the world we have machines and robots doing it instead. And in this world the war didn't end, Vale fell for a short while, had a small civil uprising after the war DID stop, and then Beacon kinda became a place for revolutionaries and huntsmen. But I guess I was wrong in that last part because they turned me into this", Terroriser said pointing to his cybernetic half.
"I see. And what caused the machines to become the wrath of war in your world exactly?"
"Atlas military developed advanced technology early on in history, and they fucked it up. People started hacking into it and used it against them. Eventually there were more machines fighting each other than soldiers."
"OH that sounds so COOL!", Ruby said.
"And what about the huntsmen?"
"They weren't really around until people had the common sense to stop fighting each other and fight the machines. But even then it was still pretty screwed up. Look what they did to me! I can't go swimming anymore! I'll sink to the bottom of the ocean in like a second! Metal structures for bones suck!"
"Wait, you're ALL metal under there?", Weiss asked.
"Yeah. Well, mostly. It's hard to explain", Terroriser said to Weiss.
"And so what was your occupation? Were you training to be a huntsmen regardless?", Ozpin asked.
"Fuck no. I made sandwiches dude."
"Sandwiches?"
"Yeah it was my job while I went to Signal to train for becoming a soldier. It wasn't till later I wanted to be a huntsman. But now, I'm not so sure", Terroriser rubbed the back of his head.
"Hey we're from Signal!", Ruby shouted. "Maybe you're like an alternate version of us!", Ruby said pulling her sister closer to her side.
"So you came to Beacon on your own then?", Ozpin said redirecting the attention.
"Nope. I was technically abandoning my duty, but at Beacon there was some kind of loophole. And I had some help getting here."
"Who helped you?"
"Yang and Weiss can explain that part later. What I can tell you is I died, was turned into this during so, and they tried to send me back to kill my friend off in the past, but I wound up here", he finished. Ozpin leaned back in his chair. "The story seems a lot to take in. But I believe it enough. What I need to know now is why you should be pardoned for your destruction and damage to several buildings?"
"Hey, Yang did it too."
"Hey!", Yang shouted.
"I'm just saying, maybe lower your standards. Stuff seems to break a lot around here."
"You've got that right", Glynda said. Ozpin returned to the matter at hand.
"Well, I am the headmaster here at Beacon. I can pardon you for such things under certain conditions. But first I'd like to hear about what the others think of your current status. Ms. Xaio Long?", Ozpin said.
"Well when we first found out about him we assumed he was going to do what you'd expect from any ruthless killing machine, but it's not his fault. He's half robot for gods sake! How is he supposed to control that?", Yang said.
"How is he controlling it now?"
"Yang punched him in the head really hard", Weiss added. "She must have broke something internal in there to the point he can act on his own free will. Other than that he seems a bit glitchy."
"Glitchy?", Ozpin said curiously.
"Yeah. His eyes for one, but I gave him some shades to cover that up. Then his voice and sometimes his uhhhh… Personality?", Yang explained. She looked over to Brian to see him kinda shrug. "Yeah. That. Oh and some of his memories. And something about a Mc'donalds add that keeps appearing in his robot half."
"A what?", Blake asked.
"It's like a fast food place that is more popular than religion where I come from.", Brian asked.
…
"Are you stealing your internet from them?", Ruby asked.
"What? No. How could I even do that?"
"Well I'm just saying. If they can control your connection I'm pretty sure they would have the ability to keep sending you ads."
"Shut up", Brian told her. "Anyway yeah. She punched me square in the face and I remembered all this crap. Then I came back here."
"What were you doing at that club exactly?", Ozpin said.
"Jesus you have a lot of questions. Ugh well I was looking for my friend my robo-half was assigned to kill. She was the only one in this world that was still in mine", Terroriser said getting tired of explaining things time and time over.
"Why do you think that is?"
"Oh goddammit! I don't know! Maybe because she was the only person I was assigned to kill and this world happened to have her also. How the hell am I supposed to answer that?", Terroriser said getting frustrated, "Look, I've already explained this stuff several times to several people. Including my other friend here who I happened to spare. Can I just be spared yet? Like, can we get to that faster?"
"Alright", Ozpin said sitting up straight. "For people in your certain situation, you're technically a vigilante. You have accommodated the public by stopping crimes, but did so without proper authorization and were not held responsible for damage. The sensible thing to do would be to become a huntsman. You could operate freely under these conditions with less restriction, but you would obviously have to make some changes", Ozpin said.
"Like what?"
LINEBREAK
"HAH!", Vanoss shot up. He was in the nurse's office. Again. He looked around and saw Nogla with a bandage on his head lying down on the shitty nurses bed next to him.
"Ayy, what's up shit head!", Wildcat said walking in. Delirious followed suit.
"Oh thank god I'm not dead", Vanoss said to himself. "I thought for sure I was gonna die on the way back to Beacon. That griffin messed me up.", he said holding his head. Then his eyes widened. "Holy shit! The griffin! Where is it?"
"That giant fucker came back with you guys. Oh and also, we came back with a robot from the future", Wildcat explained.
"Oh", Evan said relaxing. "Cool. So where are they- waaaaaait whoawhoawhoa hold on a sec. The future?"
"Yeah man. He knows a whole buncha shit about things we don't!", Delirious said.
"No he doesn't dude. He's from a different one. One with no grimm. Just fuckin' robot n' shit", Wildcat corrected.
"What? Then how the fuck is that the future!?", Vanoss asked.
"The fuck does it matter? It's not like it's the strangest thing that happened all day. You found a fucking Griffin! And we fund a half robot/person! The fuck cares if he' not from the future?", Wildcat said.
"AW man that's lame! I wanted to know my future!"
"I can tell you your future man. Go on ask me any question."
Vanoss gave his best child like impression. "Mr. future man, am I ever gonna get married?"
"Shut the fuck up bitch…"
"AhHAHA!"
"Ain't nobody love you."
"Hahahh."
" 'Am I ever gonna get married?' No you gonna die alone."
Evan was laughing hysterically now.
"I'm just a- a super blunt- future forseeing man." Evan stopped laughing now.
"No you gonna die in a car crash. Alone.", Evan said.
"Haha! I- I don't know why adding the details of their death makes it so much worse, but it does!", wildcat added.
"Tomorrow", Evan said pulling out a wrist watch from his utility belt. Everyone in the room began laughing. They didn't hear the sound of footsteps coming in.
"Hey guys", Terroriser said walking in.
"WHOA!", Evan said seeing his metal half face. "The fuck happened to you?"
"Long story. Told it too many times today. We're not supposed to have that much exposition until volume four."
"What?", Vanoss asked. He looked to Wildcat who didn't get it either.
"I don't know. Probably some alternate future shit. Anyway", Wildcat said. "Guys this is the guy. They call him Terroriser. But his name is Brian. But his other half is Terroriser", Wildcat introduces.
"His other half?', Vanoss asked. Wildcat looked over to Terroriser.
"Do the voice."
"Ah fuck off!"
"What voice?", Vanoss asked.
…
"Euagh"
"Ahahah! What the hell was that?!", Vanoss said while laughing.
"Anyway that's Vanoss, or Evan. That's Delirious, or Jonathan. I'm Wildcat, or Tyler, nobody around here can ever really decide on what the fuck to call us. And that guy you knocked the fuck out and has a concussion is Nogla, or David", Wildcat finished. "So anyway what happened up there? They let you off the hook?"
"Yeah. I have to become a huntsman. But since there's not enough people I'm just kinda gonna be on my own for a bit", Brian said.
"You could take the griffin?", Vanoss suggested.
"That's true dude. There's nothing more badass than a killer robot guy on a griffin with weapons", Wildcat said.
"I guess. But they suggested we undergo some intense training", Brian said.
"We?", Wildcat said.
"Ya. I'm a robot soldier and shit, so I know all advanced combat mechanics and shit. Also the team full of chicks is gonna help us. They seem to be the best qualified to handle our 'unexpectedness'."
"But why? Our strategy is flawless", Delirious said.
"What strategy?", Wildcat asked.
"Exactly. They'll never see it not coming."
Everyone began laughing. "Delirious shut the fuck up for a second. I'm getting a call", Vanoss said reaching over to his scroll on the table next to him.
"Hey I thought I broke this?", Vanoss asked Delirious.
"You did. Wildcat got you a new one. Or fixed it. I don't know.", Delirious said.
"What? How the fuck did you know how to do that?", Vanoss asked.
"KNOWLEDGE", Wildcat said.
Vanoss accepted it as an appropriate answer. He slipped his finger over the answer button.
"Hello?"
"Evan!"
"Eve? What's up?"
"Fire!"
"What?! Fire?!", Vanoss asked again.
"Yes I just said-", Eve was cut off.
"FIRE?!", Wildcat asked.
"FIRE!"
"FIRE?!", Delirious shouted.
"FIRE!"
"AH! FIRE! EUAGHAGH! STIENA! EUAGHAGH!", Brian ran in with a fire extinguisher and began spraying the air.
"EVAN!", Eve's voice shouted over the scroll. "This is no time for being stupid! There's on of the children's homes on fire! The one by the elementary school near the shop!"
"AHHHH!", Vanoss said pulling on his eyelids in a cartoony way. "We're never gonna make it there in time!"
"I know where that is!", Delirious said. "I grew up around that area. If we can get there I know the inside of that building!"
"What? How? You know what nevermind. How are we gonna get there in time?", Wildcat asked. Everyone turned to see the griffin standing in the doorway. They apparently didn't see it until now.
"Oh yeah. That could work", Wildcat said. He looked over Nogla who was still out after his second time. "Nogla might have a concussion. Hey Terroriser, you feel like filling in?"
"You can count on me baby! Euag- AH. You gotta remind me to stop doing that when it happens. Anyway I'm too heavy to take the griffin. I can teleport there quicker", Brian said.
"Teleport me too!", Delirious said. "If we can get there quicker the sooner I can check the area."
"It'll take longer to teleport two people, but we should still make it there in time. What's the address?", Brian asked Vanoss.
"Eve?", Evan asked.
"It's-"
"Nevermind I already got it from the scroll to the CCT tower. Delirious, hold onto your ass!", Brian said gripping his arm. Then in a flash of light they were gone.
"Alright, come on Evan. Did she already call the fire department and shit?", Wildcat asked.
"Yes I did! Just hurry! They're gonna need some help!", Eve shouted over the phone.
"Don't' worry Delirious and Terroriser are on the way. Delirious can split into clone to search faster. And Terroriser is a like a cyborg. So I don't think he'll be as affected by fire and smoke and shit. They'll know what to do", Vanoss said.
"Okay. Just get here as soon as you can. And be careful!", Eve said before hanging up the scroll. Vanoss looked to the griffin.
"Come on buddy we gotta go!"
The bird quickly followed him and Wildcat as they booked it out the building. They met up with team RWBY along the way of the main hall.
"Hey Evan", Ruby said as he ran right passed them.
"NO TIME TO EXPLAIN!", he shouted back.
"What was that about?", Weiss asked.
"OH MY COTTON SOCKS! DID YOU NOT JUST HEAR HIM SAY NO TIME TO EXPLAIN?!", Wildcat said running right behind him. Then the griffin ran by just as fast.
Team RWBY looked a mix of confused and worried. "Should we go with them?", Blake asked.
"Uh, I don't know. And I don't think we can", Yang said.
"Why?", Weiss asked.
"Because they just jumped off the side of the school on the griffin."
"We won't be able to catch up even with Yang's bike and my semblance. Not by ground", Ruby said. "We're just gonna have to hope they can deal with this one themselves." Ruby said a little worried.
"Don't worry Ruby. They're clearly doing something really important. If it's that important, they'll do whatever it takes to do it. That's how they got here remember?", Yang reassured.
"Yeah. That's how I got here too", Ruby said. She believed they could do it. They were a determined bunch of guys. "Godspeed", she said as she watched the griffin dive at incredible speed.
Okay. There is chapter… 4. Yes 4. Lost count after Chibi. Anyway I'm really sorry this is a bit late right after I said it wouldn't be. College is making me forget certain things. And I've finally beaten the withdrawal from my medication so I'm readjusting to stimulation, and honestly there's a bunch more excuses I could throw at you but I won't . This chapter had a lot of exposition, and it may not have been as filled to the brim with comical stuff, but hey I am building plot. The story is no longer plotless! Yay! I'll have to update my description now. But anyway I hope you enjoyed it for the most part, thanks to all my reviewers for the awesome comments, and all the favorites and followers I get. It means a lot. It really does. It's great to just hear back about something you work on. It's something to look forward to I guess. Anyway if you are reading this, know I am trying to keep up my pace. And with my other story, because I know some of you are reading both, I'm sorry about the delay. I'm getting right back to work on it after this chapter though. I'm learning to space out my work. And other than that, I put 2, yes 2 references in there. I won't tell you where they are, but if you can find one, I'll take a small request. If you're the first to find both, I'll take a larger request. Like the chibi chapters. The smaller ones are like particular events you would like to see happen. But I figure, I can make this interesting for the community too! So ya, if you're the first for either of those, I'll let you know. That's all from me for tonight. It's 5 AM and I am out.

PS- I will edit this in the morning, I am more worried about delivering you the chapter than spelling or grammar errors at the moment. It's already late and I didn't wanna be even later. If you find anything, let me know, and thanks.
