10. Chapter 9

I HAVE FINALLY FINSHED IT! Ahem, sorry about that but yes I've finally finished this chapter and had so much fun doing it :D. So just to say I did change some things in the water valve mission, mainly the location of the valve juts to make it easier for me to write up. But that's pretty much it when it comes to this chapter in general in changes, like I always state I have gone over this chapter to make sure no grammar errors are present for the most part that is. The action sequences I did my best when writing them up but I've never been the best with those or description like I've said before. Self-assessing aside I do hope you all enjoy this chapter as much as I had writing it up :D YAY!

P.S- I do apologize for it taking a bit to get this chapter up and ready, but I've been busy lately. Still I'm glad to get this chapter up for you all :D

Now onwards to reading!

I do NOT own Kingdom Hearts which belongs to Square Enix, RWBY which belongs to Mounty Oum/RT or any of the movies/video game characters/ TV characters/anime characters in this story be it part of the games canon or the one's I added as they belong to their respective creators and NOT by me.

Four Hearts of One Journey: Ch.9: Haven City Pt.3

In Maleficent's castle it was quiet for the most part, everyone had gone to do their own thing or most likely gone to bed; leaving Neo Bored. Though when it came to times like this Neo would often take it upon herself to look around and explore, but she knew she'd have to be careful as she didn't want to bump into anyone at this late of hours. She especially didn't want to bump into a certain resident who just had returned from his home world. This person or thing was named Oogie Boogie, a thing that's body was just literary a large sack with stubby arms and legs; but what made it worse for Neo was that his inners were made of bug. Now Neo knew she wasn't one to get scared easily, in fact most people who misjudge her because of her appearance and height (since she was shorter than most) ended up after being terrified of her along with receiving a few broken bones as a reminder not to mess with her. But when it came to bugs she got nervous, she had a long time fear of the things ever since she got stuck in the sewer and had to stay there until Roman found her. It was two long days and they were horrible as she had to deal with the smell along with having to sleep on the ground, which sadly had bugs crawling everywhere across. She still remembers the feeling of those nasty things crawling all over her.

"Note to self, see if anyone here knows some magic that could make me forget that particular memory, ugh I hate so very much hate bugs…" Neo thought as in all honesty this was really then only was she could speak as no one, not her parent, Roman and even Cinder could figure out why in the world she couldn't speak. Some said it was an illness, other say it was a genetic mutation but whatever the reasons were no one knew. Still Neo couldn't be bother by that as she wanted to figure out how to ease her boredom

"Why don't you go to the library?" A motherly voice whisper as Neo jumped up and looked around to see no-one, Neo just thinking she was imaging this to cure her boredom took the voices advice or her own advice to say and made her way over to the library's entrance

Thankfully for her she had already memorized the layout of this place, more specifically all the areas of the castle that were worth going to for multiple visits. The library was the only room she had yet to visit since she and the rest arrived here not too long ago. Neo walked for a little while longer but couldn't help but get a feeling of slight caution when walking at this time of hour. It felt like the darkness and evil flowed out more during the night, it was weird to her that she could sense it but none of her friends could. Though it only made her feel weirder since the darkness made her stomach feel painfully sick, she just didn't like the smell of this evil and found it ironic because she herself wasn't at all an angel. She had done many terrible things to people but in a way she also felt regret at times for some of the things she had done, but she stopped thinking about it so she wouldn't start having an internal moral debate along with the fact she made it the entrance of the library.

"Well let's hope this is a lot more entertaining than Maleficent's lesson she gave Jaune, hm now that I think of it he's a cute one. Maybe I could make the moved on him soon, wouldn't mind getting wild with that boy. I mean sure before Jaune left to see that Baron Praxis guy whoever he is, he did show us his two friends and the red head who's his fiancé. But it's not like his future wife is going to get any better soon and he is a young healthy man, I'm sure I think her name was Pyrrha Yeah that's what it was. Though like I was going to say I'm sure she wouldn't mind if I help her future husband get those urges out once or twice a time every day. Heck maybe I can convince him to move her unconscious body into my room and get him to have sex with me next to her body to make it even more dirty, not like she'll be able to stop me from screwing him; heck he might even want me over her eventually. Wouldn't mind having a hunk like Jaune to be my husband and have him praising me as his beautiful wife." Neo though to herself before entering the library, but in a sense actually kind of felt bad for wanting to do that. Though she had learned years ago that if she wanted to be happy, she sometimes had to take what she wanted and what Neo wanted now was Jaune all to herself

"You know child, thoughts like that can destroy one's mind easily." The same motherly voice whispered again as Neo looked around in a slight panic, but put it off again as her own mind easing her boredom. So with that she opened the doors to only don a wide smile at the sight

"So many books!" Neo yelled to herself as she could see two floors each with shelfs of big thick books. Neo may not admit it ever but reading was her favorite pass time as to her books were a gate way to another word, ones with happy endings. Neo also would never admit it but under her violent exterior laid a girl who wanted that prince to save her, giving her the happily ever after she had craved.

Neo began looking through the shelf's closet to her to see what would catch her eyes first and found a few old fairy tale books (Mainly on princes and princess.) She began reading them with a smile of pure joy as she felt like a little girl again, she just couldn't get enough of these books as they enthralled her with envy

"If only life could be like that, maybe then I'd find that mister right like that Jaune boy I got my eye on."She though with a determined smirk as she closed the books he had been reading

"It can be real if you want it to be, though I don't think what you're planning on doing with that Jaune boy would be a good idea to do at all." The motherly voice whispered once more with a giggle as Neo was now certain it wasn't part of her mind

"Who's there, tell me now or else!" Neo yelled out to herself as the motherly voice let out a heartfelt laugh

"I'm sorry young one, but I was only trying to be friendly. I find it interesting that a girl like you could go from seducing another woman's lover for your own needs, to day dreaming about being a princess that waits for her prince to give her a happily ever after. You seem to be at conflict with yourself you know that?" The motherly voice answered back, but before Neo could reply she heard the doors of the library open, she turned around to see him come in…. Oogie Boogie

"Well look what we have here, ain't you that little girl that came in with the newbies?" Oogie Boogie said in an amused tone as he walked right up to Neo and wrapped his left arm around here shoulders "Now what's a little girl like you doing up this late, don't you need to go bedy wedy so you don't get grumpy wumpy in the morning?"

"If he's trying to antagonized me then he's succeeding in it, oh ew, ew, ew I think a cockroach just crawled down my back." Neo thought as she was so glad that she was a mute for once while Oogie Boogie was laughing at his own joke

"Keep your cool child, I've dealt with his kind before and let me say that he's wanting to get a reaction out of you. Just let him talk for a while longer and he should get bored quickly." The Motherly voice stated as Neo smirk a little from the helpful advice

"Huh, well I'm just want to get in here to see what the noises were about. But it was just you being a little girl and all. Such a noise maker aren't yah?" Oogie Boogie remarked as he began making his way back to the door, but not without leaving an impression on Neo "Oh and one more thing kid…"

"What could he possibly-" Neo asked herself but got the answer as Oogie Boogie turned around in flash and opened his mouth wide letting the bugs inside crawl out making Neo to her own surprise scream like a little girl as she fell on her butt while Oogie just laughed hysterically

"Oh I knew you were a screamer even if you can't speak. Well see you around little girl!" Oogie Boogie yelled out in amusement as he made his way out of the Library, leaving Neo alone once more

"He was pleasant wasn't he, are you okay child?" The Motherly voice asked with concern as Neo took a few deep breaths to calm herself

"Yeah, yeah I am but you don't have to keep calling me child. It's Neo alright, I hate when people call me that or little girl….if only I had my parasol then I'd have stabbed that sack man." Neo answered back with a scowl

"You could have but then you wouldn't have been better than he was and before you say it I can tell you've done things in your life that are more than….unpleasant to others. But I also see you have regret as well, I know you're on the inside a good child trying to get out of your current shell." The Motherly voice stated as Neo gulped a little nervously from the scary accurate description

"How…how did you-" Neo asked but was cut off by the Motherly voice's giggled weakly

"To be honest I don't know but if I were to take I guess, I'm going to say it's because I'm in your mind and not in my body anymore. Because of that I can tell what your inner self is to a degree and what you're thinking of for the most part." The Motherly voice answered

"I see, well don't go poking around then….wait what do mean by body?" Neo replied back but didn't get her answer as Roman came in a second later

"Neo what are doing in here at this time, and was that you screaming?" Roman asked with a raised eyebrow as Neo just sheepishly smiled, which made Roman sigh and lend Neo his right hand "Oh well you seem alright, but come on let's get you back to your room. I don't think Maleficent would care to see either of us out this late at night and believe me I'd rather no find out if that's true or not. " he added in as Neo just nodded and accepted his hand, then was lifted back up to her feet following him out seconds later

"Okay sorry about that, but what did you mean by body?" Neo asked once more as she hoped the motherly voice was still there

"It's alright child you were with a friend of yours, but what I mean is that my body is here somewhere. I don't where it is because I woke up in your mind, so my body must be in some sort of slumber and being held captive for the time being."The Motherly voice answered as Neo frowned a little in sympathy at that

"Sorry to hear that then, but where could your body be then is what I want to know?" Neo asked wondering where in the castle you would hid a slumbering body

"I can't say exactly unless we got closer to my body itself, but be careful I can tell that if you find my body; you may make the people here your enemies. So again be careful." The Motherly voice replied back worried for Neo's safety, much to Neo's surprise

"I….okay then I will, thank you for your concern miss; wait I don't know your name at all." Neo stated as she felt a little dumb not knowing the voices name already

"Oh how silly of me, I guess I should have introduced myself when we began first speaking with each other. Well Neo my name is Princess Celestia, but you call me Celestia for short if you'd like." Celestia answered only to notice Neo still walking but with a wide eyed expression "Neo are yo-"

"HOLY CRAP YOU'RE A PRINCESS THIS IS SO COOL!" Neo yelled out much to the amusement of Celestia

"Truly you are but a child on the inside which isn't bad one bit, still I wonder where my sister, my student and her friends along with rest of my pony subject could be. They must be scared, oh I pray they are safe for now." Celestia said with a fearful tone

"Wait, ponies?" Neo asked wanting to make sure she heard that correctly

"Yes ponies, it seems we have much more to discuss while we make it back to your room." Celestia answered back as Neo smirk and with that kept following Roman back to her room while learning more about her newly made pony princess friend

-Meanwhile with Blake and Yang-

"So Blake before we enter this scary fortress of evil, why do we have these?" Yang asked as she and Blake had made it to their destination with little to no issues what so ever. What Yang was asking Blake about was a pair of different key chain that she had found in her right pocket, she hadn't felt it their before until two minutes ago and it turns out Blake had a pair of the same key chain. Said first key chain was in the shape of the medal Hercules was given to when he was founded by his parents. The second on was that of a card with the Ace of red hearts printed on it's surface, just like the card guards in Wonderland. Both Yang and Blake could only wonder what these were for (Though it's pretty obvious…..)

"We'll they're key chains Yang and if I'm correct these are for replacing the key chains our keyblades currently have equipped." Blake answered (See what I mean, obvious) "Also if I'm correct with my other guess this keychain and our current one can be switched at any time when needed, both with their own sort of effects in combat itself."

"You know I feel pretty dumb now, I'm such a moron." Yang said with a frown but Blake patted her back and gave a kind smile

"Hey don't beat yourself up, beside I kind of….kind of think it's cute when your try figuring stuff out." Blake remarked with a smaller smile and a hint of pink blush on her cheeks

"Oh ah…well ah I…thank you, you're really cute too I mean not that I'm always checking you out, but I mean I am because well ah….ugh I'm digging myself in a ditch." Yang replied as she mentally was smacking herself right now while her face was beat red

"Maybe be so but…." Blake stated back with a flirty smirk as she hugged Yang tightly then kiss her on the right cheek, much to the shock of Yang herself as Blake released her from the hug

"I..I….I…." Yang tried to say but was too enthralled from an overwhelming feeling of joy, and confirming a lingering question she had when it came to her feelings on Blake–"HOLY CRAP IT'S OFFCIAL WHAT I'VE BEEN FEELING LATELY, I'M IN LOVE WITH BLAKE!"-

"I'll take that as you didn't mind me kissing you." Blake said flirtingly as she walked passed Yang "Oh and don't worry we'll find out more about the keychains later on, we have a mission to do first so come on."

"Oh ah yeah…yeah totally." Yang answered as she snapped out of her daze and began following Blake with a love struck gaze –"Oh yes, I'm totally in love."-

"One more thing actually Yang." Blake said as she and Yang stopped in front of the large gate to the fortress waiting for it to open "When we get back to Traverse town, you and me are going on a date okay?" –"Can't believe it's Yang I fell in love with, but I wouldn't have it any other way."-

"Oh yeah totally we are Blakey!" Yang yelled out in sudden shock from Blake suggestion as her heart fluttered, but just then Yang kissed Blake on her left cheek making the girl blush herself intensely now

"Yang I…." Blake was trying to say back as the door of the fortress was beginning to open

"Look Blake I don't know what came over I'm-" Yang responded back but was cut off as Blake locked her lips against hers, moments passed and Yang decided to kiss back as she moved her lips against Blake's. Both girls held one another as their lips moved against each other's in a rhythm of love that had so long been waiting to happen, both Yang and Blake then released themselves from their kiss to give each other a breather second later

"I…I am so glad we're alone here right now." Blake said with a wide smile as no citizens or even guards were in the area at the moment, which though suspicious was also comforting as no one saw what she and Yang were just doing

"Same Blake, but does this were you know…" Yang asked a little shyly as the doors to the fortress final opened all the way, Blake answered back first with one more quick kiss to Yang's lips followed by a giggle

"Yes it does Yang, we're a couple so you'll have to care of me and in returned I'll take care of you." Blake answered joyfully

"That's sounds like a great plan Blake." Yang replied back as she and Blake let go of one another and then made their way into the fortress, but feeling overjoyed for this moment and for the future to come. As both girls entered the fortress they noticed it wasn't guarded at all and a red colored tank with a spike roller in front was deactivated "So any idea where we should go?"

"Maybe, I think the walk way to the left of us would be the best bet to get to the depo." Blake answered as she and Yang made their way over to the walk way, but unfortunately unknown to both of them a trip wire was a few feet away. As luck would have it both Yang and Blake hit the trip wire, with that an alarm went off startling both girls

"What the heck was that?" Yang yelled out as she summoned her Keyblade just in case of an ambush as Blake did the same (while pushing through her pained cat ears all the same). Both girls got their answer as they suddenly heard treads coming up from behind them, they looked back to see the tank aiming it's barrel at them

"Well at least it's not trying to shoot us right Blakey?" Yang stated with a sheepish smile

"Unauthorized use of fortress door, activating security protocols." A robotic female voice said from the tank as the barrels began shooting a barrage of rounds at the two, making them beginning running into the fortress itself if only to escape the killer tank

"Yang you just had to say that didn't you?" Blake yelled out at her girlfriend began dodging jumping from platform to platform while also avoiding the tank blasts

"Sorry, I didn't mean it!" Yang replied back with a regretful frown as they made it over to a bridge, but was suddenly being shot at by six turrets on each side of the bridge along with the tank coming in from behind "OH COME ON!"

"Yang if we get out this, we are going to have hot victory sex got it!" Blake stated sternly as she and Yang we're dodging the blaster fire around them

"Sounds good to me hun, now let's get the heck out of here because I have been waiting for the day I can get in your pants!" Yang replied back as Blake could only smirk at her girlfriends honesty while they kept making their way into the fortress dodging the blasts as best as they can –"I just hope Jak, Daxter and the girls are doing well."-

-Meanwhile with Ruby, Weiss, Jak and Daxter-

"So Daxter what can you tell us about the water plant we're going to?" Weiss asked as she, Ruby, Jak and Daxter waited for the gate leading to the water plant to open. Though it was taking a bit since the bolts in the door itself we're a little rusty

"Other than being outside the city walls, we got the metal heads to deal with as well." Daxter explained as he shivered a little from that thought

"Metal heads, what is a metal exactly?" Ruby asked as she and Weiss had been hearing Daxter grumble about them during their trip here

"Think of like big annoying lizards that have gems in their heads and these gems pop out. Lot of people will buy em, but their dangerous to acquire for obvious reasons." Daxter explained once more much to Ruby and Weiss concern

"Hey don't worry we're a decent sized group so we should be good with keeping an eye on each other. Besides we got weapons, well you girls do with those Keyblade things while I got my fist." Jak said with a proud tone

"Don't forget your legs and your best pal Daxter!" Daxter added in as Jak rolled his eyes in amusement

"As funny as this banter is, what in the world is going on with the gate here. You'd think be opened right by now." Weiss remarked in annoyance as the gate was taking a bit to long for any of the gangs comfort

"Probably because of all the rust on this thing I mean really you could fill three jars up with all this rust." Daxter said as Ruby giggled at the Joke, Jak just smirked and Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose

"I see, we'll there has to be a way of opening this door because I'm losing my patients as it is." Weiss grumbled as Ruby patted her on the back with wide smile that just scream 'I have an idea!' "Ruby I know that look, what are thinking this time?"

"Well first off I was thinking of using the keyblades because well you know they can unlock anything, but then I remembered we can't really control that function yet cause we're still new to this who Keyblade thing. Which is kind of weird when you think of it because we should be learning more about our weapons and that brings up another que-" Ruby began explaining quickly but was stopped by Weiss who put her finger over Ruby's mouth (which in turn made Ruby beginning blushing like madly from the sudden interaction)

"Ruby I think I get the gif of it, but could you tell me what you main point is please?" Weiss asked kindly with a warm smile –"My I never knew how soft Ruby's lips are… and kissable to, WAIT NO STOP. Not right now, we're on an important mission. I need to make sure I have my head in the game…still her lips are so soft and pretty cute as well now that think of it, just like she is all in all; cute and kind hearted."- she though while her cheeks were a light hint of red and while she was now deep in thought she stopped as Ruby snapped her fingers, getting her attention

"Weiss you alright?" Ruby asked as Weiss moved her finger from Ruby's lips

"I-I am, sorry about that. But could you…you know tell me now what it as you we're planning?" Weiss asked as she gained her composure back, meanwhile Jak and Daxter just stood to the side feeling pretty awkward at the moment while deciding to just keep quiet

"Right, well….SUMMONING TIME!" Ruby answered as she pulled out her summoning stone as the area around her and the rest was engulfed in white light, once it dimmed down Mister B appeared in front of them

"RRRRRAAAGGHHHH!" Mister B roared out as he seemed to be waking up from a slumber, but within seconds he noticed Ruby who he picked up and place on his shoulder. Then he noticed Weiss who he knew was Ruby's friend, but once he saw Jak and Daxter he immediately went into a defensive stance activing his drill while his eye holes went from green to red "RRRRRRRAAAAAAGGGHHHHH!"

"Um Ruby a little help?!" Daxter yelled out as he slumped a little as Jak got in a defensive stance of his own

"Oh right, Mister B stop these two are okay. Jak and Daxter are friends, friends alright." Ruby stated in a calm but slightly panicked tone as Mister B gave a question growl "Yes Mister B they are, so please play nice." She answered as Mister B's eye holes went from red to yellow then finally green, along with his drill which stopped

"That was a close one." Weiss remarked with a relived sigh "Sorry about that boys, but this only the second time Ruby has summoned him and it's seems he's already taken a liking to her."

"Yeah sorry about that, but trust me when I say Mister B is nice enough so long as you don't try to harm me or my friends which I know neither one of you will do." Ruby said next "Now Mister B say hi to our new friends Jak and Daxter."

"GGGrrrahhhh." Mister B growled in a kind manner as Jak and Daxter looked at each other nervously, then back at Mister B

"Ah nice to meet you?" Jak answered back with an awkward smile as Daxter just nodded

"See now your friends!" Ruby yelled out joyfully as Weiss rolled her eyes in amusement

"Ruby if you don't mind could you tell us what you're planning to do with Mister B exactly?" Weis asked as Ruby smiled widened

"Oh that's easy, I'm going to use him to blast the door open." Ruby calmly explained as Mister B reeved up his drill again and turned facing the door, meanwhile what Ruby just said had finally just clicked with Weiss, Jak and Daxter

"No Ruby wait!" Daxter yelled first out but it was too late as Mister B bashed the door seven times in consecutive quick punches with his drill, with that the door fell over leaving the sandy ground of the water plant in plain view. Ruby then jumped off of Mister B shoulder, patting him on his back

"Good job Mister B, here you'll have to go back into the gem for now but I'll summon you when I need you again which if I guess right will be soon." Ruby happily said as Mister B patted her head, then was enveloped in light. Once the light died down again he was gone

"See I said I had a plan!" Ruby stated proudly as Weiss bopped her on the head lightly, though with enough force to hurt a little "Ow, Weiss what was that for?"

"Dolt didn't you think that maybe the guards would heard this and come to see what happened?" Weiss asked with a slight frown

"Oh right I didn't think of that… sorry about that Weiss." Ruby replied with a slight frown which made Weiss feel guilty for scolding her

"It's okay Ruby, I'm just wanting to make sure you don't get yourselves or us into trouble. I did promise to be the best partner after all remember?" Weiss said as Ruby nodded with a small smile then she, Weiss, Jak and Daxter made their way to into the water plant

"Either way were in now, so come one let's kill us some…." Jak began to say as he and the others saw the dead bodies of metal heads

"I'm guessing those are metal heads?" Ruby asked as she and the rest made their way over to the closest dead metal head

"Yeah those are metal heads, question is what killed it and it's friends?" Daxter answered, but only to hear an explosion

"What was that?" Jak asked looking around warily

"I don't know, but-" Weiss was answering back but was interrupted as two bodies fell in front of them on the ground, one a man in trench coat wearing a white mask and the other a girl in skin tight suit that look between her's and Ruby's age

"Um…." Ruby muttered as the two people groaned

"Ugh…. You had to hit the explosive barrels didn't you?" The man asked in a slightly aggravated tone

"It's not my fault, I thought it would help us get rid of those big lizards quicker." The girl replied back as she rubbed her head

"Maybe it did but you still should have waited until we we're further apart from those overgrown lizards." The man remarked as he was trying to get up "Could you get off me?"

"Alright I'm am geez, still at least we aren't-" The girl said but stopped when she opened her eye's and lifted to her head to see the girls, Jak and Daxter staring at them. With a sudden startle the girl got off the man and smiled awkwardly at the ground "Ah…..hi?"

"D-VA who are you talking to?" The man asked as he got back up to get his answers as he saw the group as well now

"So you two new here?" Ruby asked to make this less awkward but the man just kept quiet, which made look him creepy since his white mask was just staring back with those painted on black slit eyes

"Ignore Hei here, he's not a social type." The girl D-VA answered with slight amusement "But I'm very sociable, so hi I'm D-VA the number one gamer in my world, pop star idol and actress. Please to meet you all!"

"Well it's nice to meet you then D-VA." Weiss answered back kindly "I'm Weiss, the one in red is Ruby, the man with us is Jak and the ocelot on his shoulder is Daxter."

"The amazing Daxter she means!" Daxter added in as he did a heroics pose, while Jak face palmed and D-VA well…..

"OH MY GOODNESS YOU ARE SO CUTE!" D-VA screamed out with a squeal as she snatched Daxter off of Jak's shoulder "I JUST WANT TO HUG YOU FOREVER, SO KAWII!"

"Look miss I appreciate the complement but I'm not one to go for the younger girls, no offence." Daxter answered back as D-VA just kept on hugging him

"None taken!" D-VA replied as she turned her attention over to the girls "I got to ask but are those your real hair and eye colors, because if so then I am so jealous. I've always wanted pretty colored hair and eyes like both of yours." She asked as Hei moved over next to Jak while watching the banter between the girls

"So, you've been dealing with that?" Jak asked as Hei simply nodded, Jak then placed his hand on Hei's right shoulder and gave him a sympathetic look "You are a brave man and I pity you."

"Thanks I guess, still I'm guessing you're all here for a reason right?" Hei asked as Ruby, Weiss and D-VA we're sucked into their own conversation while Daxter looked bored out of his mind "Poor little creature."

"Got to agree, still we came here to turn back on the pipping system in this place. The Baron who is the ruler of the damn city on the other of the large wall side shut it off, which in turn will slowly killing the citizens in the slum district." Jak answered as Hei just nodded

"I see, look I may not care about the people here but mind if me and D-VA stick with you?" Hei asked as Jak raised an eyebrow

"Sure, but you and your little friend are going to be in danger just to tell you." Jak explained as Hei shrugged

"In all honesty I can tell from how you're describing the so called Baron of this city, he sounds like a tyrant and his police force will be like that as well. I don't care for authority figure in general but tyrants are the most annoying to me. Also I'm guessing you and the rest of your merry band are rebels, trust me you'll want me and D-VA with you on this. Basically you get two more fighters while D-VA and me get shelter, it's a win-win for both of us so how about it; we got a deal?" Hei explained as he held his hand out

"Yeah sure then you got a deal." Jak said as he hesitantly shook Hei's hand "You know your quiet a deal maker."

"I am indeed, but a contractor has to be comprising at times." Hei answered as he and Jak stopped shaking hands –"Still I'm not the usual contractor now am I?"-

"Um excuse me, but did your name is Hei right and you just said you're a contactor?" Ruby asked kindly as Weiss was still wary of him and D-VA was confused on why Ruby just asked that

"Yes, why do ask little girl?" Hei stated as from behind his mask he narrowed his eyes in suspicion, while getting his contractor ability ready just in case

"Well if that's so then do you know a girl named Yin?" Ruby answered as Hei relaxed now as he knew if Yin was friendly enough with these girls, then he had nothing to worry about

"So you know Yin then, would you mind bringing me to her?" Hei replied back as Ruby frowned at that

"I'm sorry Hei but she's not in this world anymore, but once me, Weiss and the others are done here we can take you with us." Ruby explained with a small smile

"Whoa hold on, so I already figured out this was another world. But there's more than one world and did you say others?" D-VA interjected wanting some answers

"Yep there's a ton of worlds but the one Hei's friends are on is where other refuges have gone to. Also yeah my sister and other besti Blake are here with us also, just to say though Jak and Daxter are natives to this world." Ruby explained

"Huh well that's news, hey just a guess here but if you, Weiss and yet to be met other two friends are from another world. Then do you have normal ears like me and Hei?" D-VA asked curiously

"Yes we do D-VA, what I want to know is why you and Hei have normal ears and not long ones?" Weiss said as D-VA and Hei just shrugged "I guess we'll figure out later then."

"Yes we will Weiss, but right now we got a water plant to save now come on let's go!" Ruby answered back with pride as she began making her way towards the only walk way available at the moment followed by Weiss, Jak and Daxter, then Hei while D-VA stood still

"I just hope Bastion is okay, the bot wouldn't know what to do in a place like this." D-VA muttered to herself as she now began following the others with an ever gnawing fear for her metal friend

-Meanwhile in Travers town-

"Alright that should do it, now Winston you'll have to take it easy with your right leg for a bit. That fall you took when we ended up here must have been what cause your ankle to sprain." Mercy explained as she was done checking over the large gorilla who at the moment was laying in the bed inside Glynda's room. Fareeha still had her suit on, but had taken off her helmet to revel her tan skin, brown eyes, short jet black hair and a tattoo under her right eye that was hard to describe. Lena was sitting next to Winston patting him on the shoulder and lastly Solider 76 was sitting in a chair becoming impatient with waiting for answers as the sun was already rising up. Which made him and his companions wonder how time even worked here, none the less they needed answers so Soldier 76 decided to be the one to ask

"Look Glynda not that we're ungrateful for what you've done so far to help us, but could we get some answers?" Solider 76 asked as Glynda sighed knowing she'd have to, not that she didn't want to but she was hoping to have a bit more time to come up with the best way to explain it

"I guess that would be acceptable, just….just please keep an open mind about it alright." Glynda replied with a worried tone

"Don't worry one bit Glynda, with all that's happen I think we're pretty open minded. Right guys?" Lena remarked as the others just nodded "See Glynda, now come on it's story time!"

"Sure no problem then." Glynda said a little amused at Lena's childlike personality as she took a deep breath and organized her thoughts. "Alright this may not be the best explanation but here goes nothing. For one as you all know this is another world, but this along with your world are only two of the multitude of worlds. With that said there are these monsters called Heartless, creature of pure darkness that want nothing more than to take the spiritual hearts of everyone even if it means killing them and enveloping their worlds in the process. It's pretty bad but we also have a hope to fight against these monster in the form of four young's girls from my world, girls who attended an academy to become huntress. Huntress are a basically elite defenders in a sense and I was one of these girls teachers, their combat teacher to be exact but as I was saying these girl were formed into team RWBY which used the first letters of their names to spell it out. Team RWBY are what I'd been told to be Keyblade wielders, warriors that wield key like weapons which are the most effective against the Heartless and they were chosen for this task to fix the damage the Heartless have done. I can't explain it all but I'm sure once the others are up, they should be able to fill in what I may have forgotten to mention and what else you may want to know. But do any of you have questions?"

"I think we all do Glynda, if I may ask first but from what you're telling us is that four young girls are our only hope. Isn't there anything we can do to help out?" Angela was the first to ask as Glynda had a feeling she was going to ask that, though it was nice to know they cared enough to want to help like the others do

"Yeah, besides I don't think it's a good idea to put all our eggs into one basket. What if they fail?" Fareeha asked next as Glynda frowned a little at the thought team RWBY getting hurt

"What I want to know is how is why four teenage girls were picked in the first place, no offence of course." Lean stated with an apologetic smile

"I heard you just say spiritual hearts, that I would like to more myself." Winston said as he winced a little moving his right foot to the side

"Either way this doesn't help us feel any more comfortable in the least, especially with the fact of leaving the fate of not just our world but dozens more to four teenagers." Soldier 76 added in reinstating his and the others worries

"Look I know it may seem like a far fetch hope but trust me when I say these girls are the best that Beacon Academy has had in a long time, also it's helps that they have back up also. For right now though that is all I can really explain until the others are awake okay?" Glynda said as she couldn't really be mad at their doubts, for anyone who hadn't met them it would seem absurd to believe that four girls could save them all. But Glynda knew they could, she had complete faith in them. She just wonder how they were doing right now

-Back with Blake and Yang-

"Did we lose it, did we lose that tank?" Blake asked as she and Yang were taking deep breaths

"I think so Blake, I think so but you have to admit it was fun right?" Yang replied back to brighten her girlfriend's mood, which worked as Blake laughed a little remembering having to jump on top of a few crates to get to higher ground, but the tank followed as the girls were stuck in a room with a literal electric fence. Blake was the one to figure out that they needed to destroy the three glass power sources to leave the room, which they did and then proceeded through, leading them to their current location. All in all and danger aside it was quiet fun and exhilarating

"I guess so, but where are we now?" Blake replied back as she and Yang looked around to notice they were in a control room or sorts. They also noticed two Crimsons guards facing the other way talking to one another near what seemed to be a metal boxed desert tanned turret

"So I guess we need to get past those two and any other guards right Blake?" Yang asked as she and Blake summoned their keyblades

"Indeed, but it looks like we'll need to be careful with our steps. The only way to get to the other side is to jump on those moving platforms." Blake said as she point to two rows of platforms that moved at a decent rate of speed while going opposite directions

"Aw no worries Blakey, watch and learn." Yang stated proudly as she darted off and with a few easy steps, pulse two jumps she made it over to the other side while thankfully not alerting the two guard conversing. Yang smile widely and motioned Blake to go now

"Well now I feel a little silly for giving her that warning." Blake muttered to herself in slight amusement as she jumped on the first then second platform in a quick motion, to her joy as she landed on the other side as Yang caught her giving the girl a quick twirl and a kiss on the nose. Then she let her down surprisingly still not alarming the guards "My aren't you just so sweet, if your trying to win points with me already; you're doing a good job at it."

"What can I say I'm trying my best and I'm glad you approve." Yang answered with a smirk as she and Blake turned their attention over to the guards. "So what's the plan?"

"Sneak behind them and then hit them on their back of their necks with our keyblades. The force should give out enough force to knock them out cold." Blake explained as she and Yang began walking slowly behind the guards while also overhearing their rather loud conversation

"So what do think this thing is, other than the obvious?" The first guard asked, poking the turret with his gun

"I don't know but I wouldn't poke it if I were you, the thing could be an old relic refitted to be a bomb by the underground and got it sent here somehow." The second guard replied back as Blake and Yang were a few more inches closer to them

"Oh I knew that, yeah totally." The Fist guard remarked with a nervous tone as Blake and Yang were right up behind them and lifted their keyblades "You really think it's a refitted bomb?"

"I don't know rookie, but first rule if you want to survive in this city you have to keep a good perception of your surroundings. If you don't you can be easily targeted for an amb-" The Second guards was explained but was stopped as he and the first guard we're knocked out cold by Yang and Blake's keyblades

"That was a little too easy, even for me." Yang said laughing a little

"Yeah it was, though I'm curious myself what this thing here is myself?" Blake replied back as she and Yang took a good look at the old turret looking construct "I wonder if it really is a refitted bomb?"

"Well only one way to find out!" Yang yelled out joyfully as she slammed her Keyblade against the top of the turrets box like exterior, and with that nothing happened "Huh I guess it ain't a bomb, because if it was then that hit would have set it off."

"What were you thinking, you could gotten us killed!" Blake yelled out in frustration with her girlfriend's brash action

"I….your right, sorry about that Blake I just wasn't thinking. Sorry again…." Yang said with a frown as Blake sighed

"I'm not mad, just be more car-" Blake was starting to say but was cut off as the turret suddenly began shaking making both Blake and Yang back up with their keyblades in a defensive position

What the girls didn't expect was for the turret to start transforming into a bot. Said bot was at least a foot taller than them, it had two green color arms covered by two rectangle tan shoulder plates. The arms though had one black colored left hand and a built in rifle for the right hand. Its body had the tan box like covering with the turret pointing up from the back and a red painted number 54 on the right side of it's body. It's lower torso was green with two legs shaped like a Beowulf's, except it had orange hook like feet coming out from front and back. Lastly it's head was squared shaped with one bright blue eye. A few awkward seconds went by until Blake took the intuitive to break the ice.

"Hello?" Blake said with slight wariness as the bot stared at them for a few more seconds before lifting up his hand and slowly made a waved back

"Well at least the bot seems nice right?" Yang asked as Blake nodded in somewhat doubtful agreement

"Do you have a name?" Blake asked once more as the bot though it over

"Beep boop vroom." The bot answered back in an unintelligence language, much to Blake confusion

"What?" Blake remarked with a slightly annoyed face

"He said his name is Bastion and he's happy to meet us." Yang answered calmly as Blake stared wide eyed at her

"Sweetie, you know what this robot is saying?" Blake asked in disbelief as Yang just giggled at Blake's face of shock

"I guess I do and Bastion here is actually a guy from what I can tell, still what are you doing here big guy?" Yang said as Bastion took a few more moments to think it over

"Beep, beep, boop…" Bastion answered as Yang gave him a look of pity

"Oh really that's suck, but I'm sure we'll fine your friend." Yang answered back with a small smile

"What did he say Yang?" Blake asked with a raised eyebrow

"Sorry right you don't know what he's saying, well Bastion here said he was with a friend of his named D-VA. He and her were just hanging out but then suddenly a darkness sucked them into a portal. He ended up here a while later, still I think we know what the darkness was Blake." Yang explained as Blake frowned knowing she meant Bastion world was taken by the Heartless or possible is in the process of being taken by them

"I see, well then Bastion would care to come with us then. Me and my girlfriend here and some of our other friends aren't form this world ourselves. You can come with us back to another world where refuges have been appearing and going to because of these strange times lately, maybe we'll find your friend somewhere." Blake offered with a smile of reassurance

"Beep, beep, voop, vroom!" Bastion yelled out with what seemed to be a happy tone as Blake looked to Yang wanting a translation

"He says he'd love to and he'll guard his two new friends with his life." Yang stated with a wide smile

"Great but we'll have to deal with the guards still here, like the ones on the other side of this platform." Blake said as she pointed to four guards on yet another platform where they had to cross over, problem was they would probably be noticed this time since there were four of them and said four guards weren't distracted by anything

"What do we do then?" Yang asked with a worried look, but the girls got their answer as Bastion suddenly transformed back into his turret mode and displayed a bright blue shield above the turret barrels. Then before Yang and Blake could ask what he was doing bastion shot off a hail of bullets, which turned the four guards into nothing but corpses with holes lying on the ground. Though it made it worse for the girls as blood poured from the bodies

"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR!" Blake screamed out in horror as Bastion turned back into his body form, while Yang glared at him also wanting some answers for the unneeded kills

"Yeah, we could have just knocked them out. What you did was over kill!" Yang yelled out as she punched Bastion in the chest, only to hurt her own hand "OW!"

"Beep, bop, boop, vroom, beep." Bastion answered in what could be described as a sad and regretful tone

"What the killer say Yang?" Blake asked as she put some venom in her voice when saying the word "killer", while Yang's face turned from an angered one to a sympathetic one

"He explained that he didn't mean to, something about his programming from a long time ago still being somewhat active which mostly involve times where he's in some sort of danger or near a source of possible danger. He doesn't have much control over it really and in all honesty he said he's pretty passive for the most part, just not when he's or his friends are in some sort of mortal danger." Yang explained as Blake couldn't really be mad at Bastion, since he had no real control over his….little issue

"I guess then I have to apologize for jumping to conclusion, just none of my friends including myself care much for killing much unless it's Grimm but that's a different story. Still could you try and keep those more violent part of you in check if you can." Blake stated with an understanding smile

"Beep, boop, beep!" Bastion answered back happily

"He said apology accepted and that he'll try his best. But for now we should all get going, he also said he's going try his best to shoot to disable only." Yang explained as Bastion gave her a thumbs up "No problem buddy, but for real let's get a move on." She added as they all began making way further into the fortress

-Meanwhile back with Ruby, Weiss, Hei, D-VA, Jak and Daxter-

"I will say it again, I HATE THE HEARTLESS!" Weiss yelled out as she, Ruby, Hei, D-VA (Now in her mech suit, much to the girls surprise), Jak and Daxter had made it up to the upper levels of the water plant where Hei and D-VA had been at before. But as they got up there a group of Shadows surrounded them and began attacking. It was already four minutes in the battle and everyone was holding their own while the heartless were becoming less and less, though it was taking some time to do so

"I know I really don't care for them either!" Ruby yelled back as she fired off a three Thunder spells, effectively zapping up a small group of the Shadows in front of her "How the rest of you doing?!"

"What do you think?" Hei answered in a somewhat aggravated tone as he stabbed another Shadow that had lunged at him in the chest, then grabbed one coming up from being. He glowed blue and seconds later the Shadow twitched in pain as electricity was sent through its body. The Shadow then became lip and disappeared into smoke as Hei dropped the body, though he hadn't taken notice of Weiss glaring at him a little from his somewhat rude answer to Ruby

"Could have just answered nicely jerk." Weiss muttered as she fail to noticed a Shadow about to attack her from the back, seconds later though the Shadow lunged but was stopped mid lunge from Jak who punched the heartless square in the jaw making it vanish in smoke

"You know you really got to keep an eye out around white." Daxter said amusingly as he jumped on Weiss right shoulder "I'm taking temporary residence on your right shoulder, Jak do what do best."

"Got it Daxter!" Jak replied proudly as he began punching and kicking more Shadows approaching him

"Well now what?" Weiss asked as she bashed a Shadow that was trying to lunge at Ruby who was too busy fighting Shadows of her own

"Follow my lead." Daxter answered as he began pointing at directions for Weiss to swing her Keyblade, fire a magic spell or two and when to dodge. All in all Weiss was now finding out why Jak and Daxter were so good as a team, because of Daxter's perception and Jaks ability in combat. It turned out Daxter could be a very useful ally to have in battle and Weiss found a new respect for the duo

"You know Daxter your pretty perceptive." Weiss stated kindly as Daxter smiled wildly back, but then D-VA rammed into the group of heartless facing Weiss with her mechs thrusters

"Your welcome!" D-VA yelled out with a giggle as she was now trying to throw off a few Heartless that had latched onto her Mech "GET OFF!"

"We need to find a way to get rid of these things quicker!" Hei yelled as he and Ruby were slicing and bashing the advancing Shadows

"We'll I don't think any of us can any quicker, we'll just have to keep pushing them back." Ruby stated as she kicking a Shadow back, while D-VA got an idea

"Hey I need you all to make your way down the other side alright?" D-VA asked as the other just went with it, dashed to the side the girls, Jak and Daxter need to go to while getting rid of any heartless that followed them. D-VA mech was now being swarmed as the Shadows were clawing at her machine

"D-VA get out there!" Ruby yelled out as she and the rest could only watch what was going on

"Don't worry Ruby I'm planning on it." D-VA muttered to herself as a screen popped up in her mechs mainframe with the words "Self-Destruct activation" shown. D-VA activated the self-destruct, ejected out of her Mech with enough force to launch her safely on her feet a inched ahead of the group, then smirked at the Shadows still ganging up on her mech and yelled "NERF THIS!"

"Wait what?" Jak asked but got the answered as D-VA'S mech exploded take the rest of the heartless out, while also pushing back the group a little from the slight shock wave. Once that was over the group were surprised, especially the girls

"That was…."Weiss began to say in aw

"SUPER DUPER AMZINGLY AWESOME!" Ruby finished with a childlike tone and a very wide smile

"Yes Ruby, that…that would sum it up. But doesn't this mean you've lost your mech now?" Weiss asked as to her it seemed a little wasteful, not that it didn't help but again it just seemed wasteful for a piece of high tech machinery like D-VA's mech

"No worries, my mech will reform itself. It's connected to my wrist watch though it may take a little to do so." D-VA replied with a small sheepish smile

"Hm, we'll that's a shame that mech of yours did pretty well blasting up them metal heads." Daxter stated as D-VA nodded in agreement

"Ruby, Weiss do either one of you have something we could us as a temporary backup?" Hei asked as Ruby squealed happily pulling out her summon gem and Weiss sighed with an amused look pulling out her summon gem as well. A second later both were engulfed in light blinding the others until it died down revealing Ruby yet again on top of Mister B's right shoulder while Weiss was leaning against M1-4X right arm

"GGGRRRAAAAAHHHHH!" Mister B roared out as Jak and Daxter cover their ears, D-VA looked at both summons wide eyed and Hei was a little wary of this in general

"Affirmative, hello again ladies it is nice to see you once again." M1-4X said "Though may I ask who the rest of the individuals with us are?"

"Oh right well this is Jak, Daxter, Hei and-" Weiss began saying but was halted as D-VA ran up to M1-4X and Mister B with a smile of pure delight

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh are you both like robots, who made you, what kind of weaponry do you have, do you like video games, do you like anime, oh I have so many questions!" D-VA asked very energetically

"Ggggrrrahhh?" Mister B groaned sounding a little confused

"I understand your confusion still yes I'm a highly advance war droid, my creation is classified to civilians, a wide variety of weaponry, I've heard of them but never have had the need to play them, I don't know what anime is and please no more question for now." M1-4X answered in a quick pace as the others, even Mister B (Though it was hard to tell) we're a little surprised at how quickly he answered back

"Oh um…cool." D-VA muttered sheepishly as she was not really expecting to get any answers

"Can we please just get going, I'm getting sick of this place?" Jak asked getting slightly irritated

"Jak's right we should get a move on. So let's get to it." Ruby remarked as she and the rest made their way down the walk way, though what they found was a new metal head

This one was a bi-pedal, fat blue skinned, fished faced Metal head which had metal plating over the upper torso and head. The metal also had a wide mouth with sharp teeth, an antenna that sloped down in front of the face with a small red glowing orb at the end. Another thing to be noted was that this metal head had two clawed hands and a metal trident. Now this wouldn't be any weirder if the fact this new metal head had three other friends of the same type with it, along with the other fact that these four metal heads were dead with their throats slit deeply as dry blood stained the flesh around the wounds.

"Ugh I think I'm going to be sick." Weiss said covering her mouth a little as Hei walked up to examine the bodies

"These wounds look recent, but still long enough for the blood to dry. Once we get the valve you're looking for fixed or whatever we should take caution, I believe there's something waiting for us." Hei explained as the others just nodded in agreement. They made their way over to the grey and orange colored valve which strangely had a pipe above it. But also there was a tall blocked to the right of the valve

"Ah the valve, allow me." Daxter said proudly as he got off of Weiss shoulder and began pulling the valve with all his strength (which wasn't really that much mind you) but began to struggle with it

"Um do you need help Daxter?" Ruby asked kindly while trying not to giggle

"No I don't thank you for the offer but I can do this myself, I just need to loosen it is all." Daxter answered back as he was struggling harder now to move the valve

"Daxter please you need help." Weiss stated with a slightly annoyed tone

"Never!" Daxter stubbornly answered back as Weiss just rolled her eyes at Daxter's stubbornness

"I think I got this." Jak said as he walked up next to Daxter, hit the valve with enough force to turn the valve and caused Daxter to be suddenly sucked up into pipe above him. With that it turned out the piping system here was very strangely extended as Daxter could be heard grunting in pain as sounds of metal being hit could be heard. As this happened the group climbed over the tall blockade to their right as it thankfully it had a small ladder on this side of it. They got over and landed to the exit where Daxter was surely to come out of and by a good guess Daxter ended up at the end of the pipe line, but was stuck in the small nozzle at the end

"HELP ANYONE GET ME OUT OF HERE, I'M TO YOUNG TO DIE STUCK IN HERE!" Daxter yelled out in a panic as Hei activated the valve to the Nozzle as it push out Daxter (In a painful looking manner to say) face first, then his torso and arms freed. With that he began to try and push the rest of his body out, but was shot out by the water that had built up into the nozzle itself. The group came up to where Daxter was laying on the ground in slight pain. "Don't say it, not one of you say it because next time one of YOU can turn the valve!"

"Come on Daxter, let's get out of here." Jak replied as Daxter got up and climbed onto his right shoulder

"I guess you were wrong on being ambushed Hei." D-VA said with slight smugness

"I guess s-" Hei was saying though was stopped as suddenly the area was surrounded by a large sphere of darkness that left the top off showing the sky which revealed a few birds in the air frozen in place

"What's happening?" Weiss asked as she prepared her Keyblade for battle

"I think we're going to get our answer soon Weiss." Ruby replied back as she prepared her Keyblade as well, along with the others who prepared for battle. Seconds later a figure appeared before them

Said figure was of the same species of metal head that they had encountered near the valve, except it's skin was pitch black, very wide yellow eyes, two antennas on the side of the main antenna with the glowing ball of yellow instead of red. It's mouth was enlarged on the bottom with the teeth sticking out from the lip, two long razor sharp claws with red at the tips, wore a red and silver chest plate and lastly a purple head plate. As they group looked at their opponent the voice from the girls dream whispered to the Ruby and Weiss the name, "Rack-Jaw"

"Okay so I'm going guess that we'll need to kick this thing's butt?" D-VA said as she readied her pistol while her Mech was close to being restored

"Yeah I think that would be a wise guess." Weiss and Ruby said with a determined look

"So what are we waiting for, let's kick dark freaks sorry butt!" Daxter shouted out proudly as he, Jak, D-VA, Weiss and Ruby we're about to charge Hei held his arm out in front of them

"Wait." Hei sternly said much to the others confusion

"What why?" Weiss asked demanding an answer

"Because you notice the thing is just watching us." Hei explained as the Rack-Jaw was in a defensive position but also seeming like it was studying them for a weakness or something else "I think we need to be careful with this one."

"No kidding, but who's going to attack first is what we should be asking." Jak asked as he kept his eyes on Rack-Jaw

"RARARARARRARAGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGH!" Roared Rack-Jaw as he charged the group who all dodged to the side, D-VA than began shooting her pistol while Hei charged the monster

As the battle commenced Hei was slashing at Rack-Jaw who was dodging all the attacks with great agility, despite it's size. Jak and Daxter came into the fray as Daxter was coordinating when to dodge and when was a good opening to hit, though similar with Hei Rack-Jaw was dodging all the counter attacks from Jak and Daxter. D-VA was still shooting along with Weiss shooting off Blizzard spells and Ruby firing off Fire spells while trying not to hit the boys. M1-4X and Mister B were standing by just in case the boys needed to tag out. The battle kept on for a minuet more with the same process, but then Rack-Jaw summoned four spiked from his back and chest making the boys back off as not to be stabbed. As the spikes retracted back, Ruby, Mister B, Weiss and M1-4X took the frontal offensive this time as Mister swung his drill barley nicking Rack-Jaw. Ruby then jumped off of him swinging her keyblade, Weiss did the same and M1-4X was shooting with the intent to kill Rack-Jaw. But that didn't last long as Rack-Jaw this time summoned his spikes along with four pillars of darkness shooting up from the ground, this made Ruby, Mister B and Weiss dodge to the sides thankfully avoiding the attack just barley.

"We really need to find a way to take this thing down!" Jak yelled out as he and the others dodged the pillars coming up around them now, while M1-4X shot a barrage of rockets hurting Rack-Jaw somewhat

"All we can do is fight back!" Hei answered back as he threw his knife, stabbing Rack-Jaw in the hand and making the Heartless screech in pain for a few seconds as Hei pulled his knife out with the cable attached to the back of it

"That what we've been-" Ruby was saying but was cut off as she was hit by Rack-Jaw slaw, cutting her upper right thigh and right arm drawing some blood as she flew back, but Mister B caught her and cradled her in his left arm

"Crap Ruby!" D-VA yelled out as she, Jak and Daxter went up to her to see how she was

"Red how you feeling?" Daxter asked as he jumped off of Jaks shoulder and next to her face, slapping it a few times

"Yeah…it just hurts a lot even with my aura." Ruby answered as her aura began healing her up, but she let out a few pained tears which didn't go over well with Weiss who looked back at the observing Rack-Jaw with a rage filled glare

"So what's the plan Weiss?" Hei asked as he readied his knife

"The plan is you're going to let me deal with this on my own, got it." Weiss answered sternly as Hei looked to see her eyes filled with a pure rage, being a wise contactor (Along with being non-suicidal) decided not to question it and backed off to let Weiss deal with Rack-Jaw as he made his way over to the others who we're making sure Ruby was really okay, which thankfully she was "Same for you M1-4X alright."

"Though I do not feel comfortable with that, I shall but will standby if you need me." M1-4X replied as he stood in a station stance

As this happened Rack-Jaw tilted it's head in curiosity as Weiss took a deep breath and readied her Keyblade

"What's…what's Weiss doing?" Ruby asked worried for Weiss safety as Mister B let her moved up a little though not much a he was worried for her health at the moment, but wouldn't hesitant to attack Rack-Jaw if he came to close

"I think she's fighting in your honor Ruby." Jak joked along while Daxter snickered

"Aw how cute, you're her princess!" D-VA stated as Ruby blushed looking at Weiss who was staring down Rack-Jaw who he himself was doing the same. She couldn't help but blush from the thought of Weiss being a knight who held her in a bridal position and she was really liking that idea. But right now Ruby knew she could only watch –"Please stay safe Weiss."-

"Now then monster, you're going to pay for a few things. One for being an utter annoyance. Two for just being what you are and three which is the most important, for hurting my Ruby! Weiss yelled out as she lunged at Rack-Jaw, who lunged back at Weiss

Second's later Weiss keyblade and Rack-Jaws claws clashed against one another creating sparks, a few more seconds after a slight struggle to push one another back Weiss was able to win the struggle. With tha she pushed Rack-Jaw back and began rapidly thrusting her Keyblade in a stabbing motion, letting out her anger at Rack-Jaw who was just taking in the hits while not even showing a sign of pain. Weiss backed up as Rack-Jaw suddenly summon his spikes again, but this time when the spikes retracted Rack-Jaw opened his mouth wildly and chopped at Weiss who thankfully dodged with enough time. Though now Weiss was dodging repeatedly from Rack-Jaw's snapping jaw, spikes and pillars shooting from the ground. Weiss was doing well until she tripped and fell on the ground, Rack-Jaw saw this opportunity then lunged to finish this battle once. But Rack-Jaw didn't get to Weiss as he was pushed to the side by D-VA in her mech

"Take that bastard!" D-VA yelled out as she turned around to Weiss "You okay Weiss?"

"Yeah, but I thought I said I was doing this myself." Weiss answered back with slight confusion as she heard M1-4X shoot off his cannons at Rack-Jaw who was still on the ground recovering from D-VA'S attack

"You did, but in a unanimous decision we had decided you need the help." M1-4X answered as he kept firing his cannon and barrages of rockets at the downed Rack-Jaw in a suppressive fire

"What about the others though?" Weiss asked

"They decided to stay back as back up, also to guard Ruby. Don't worry she's fine but she may have a nasty cut of her right thigh and arm for a while even with the weird healing thin she did." D-VA answered as Weiss stood back up and dusted herself off

"It's called Aura, I have it as well. But enough chatting I think we'll be needing to get ready to finish this fight." Weiss replied back

"Weiss is correct, my cannons aren't used for this much firing at one time, along with my rockets. I need for them to cool down." M1-4X explained as his shoulder launchers and cannons were sizzling red from the over use

"Seems like it's just us two then, D-VA you ready?" Weiss asked as she prepared her Keyblade once more

"Oh you got it sister!" D-VA answered happily as she readied her blast cannons

Rack-Jaw suddenly leaped forward and began swinging wildly in a madden rage at Weiss and D-VA. D-VA was circling around the thing shooting her blaster cannons which only was getting Rack-Jaw angrier. Weiss was bashing at Rack-Jaw in it's compromising state with one slash after another, accompanied by a jab and a spell. All in all Rack-Jaw was stuck defending itself against the continued hail of bullets and being slashed at, Rack-Jaw had just about enough. Rack-Jaw roared louder than any other time during the fight and with it a large shockwave of black water shot out hitting everyone in the area, along with black sold ice freezing their feet in place (All except Ruby who was frozen by her feet into Mister B's left arm since he was still cradling her protectively)

"Oh what now?" Weiss yelled out as she struggled to get out, but saw Rack-Jaw grinning a little and making it's way over to her with a look of hunger

"WEISS!" Ruby yelled out trying to break free in desperation

"Jak come on get us out of here!" Daxter yelled out trying to get his feet unstuck on Jaks shoulder

"I'm trying!" Jak yelled back as he felt his darker half starting to come out "No I can't right now, that other side of me might make things worse…"

"GGGGRRRRAAAHHHHHH!" Mister B roared as he was using all his might to try and move while Hei was stabbing the ice around his boots with no luck, D-VA was doing the same with her mech and even was stuck within the seat of her mech itself but black solid ice. M1-4X was also having issues breaking free along with his weapons being frozen over. Meanwhile Rack-Jaw just got closer and closer to Weiss

-"No….no….. no I refuse to be defeated by this thing, I refuse to be taken away from my best friends and I especially refuse to be taken away FROM RUBY!"- Weiss thought to herself as all of a sudden her aura glowed and one of her glyphs appeared under Rack-Jaw, launching the Heartless into the air. Seconds later without her even meaning to a second glyph appeared, sending Rack-Jaw straight into the ground at devastating speeds

"WHOA THE HECK WAS THAT?" D-VA asked wide eyed as Hei, Jak and Daxter wonder that as well

"That's her semblance, and she going to kick some butt with it." Ruby stated with a wide smile as her heart raced a little –"She called me 'Her' Ruby, well I guess she my Weiss then"-

"Prepare to be pulverized monster!" Weiss yelled out as she activated her semblance once more flinging Rack-Jaw up, down, left, right over and over again. Each time with Rack-Jaw screaming in pain as the bones could be slightly heard breaking from the constant blunt force against it's body. Weiss then with one final attack threw her Keyblade which slashed across Rack-Jaws chest leaving a gash, but one last glyph appeared propelling the Keyblade back where Weiss caught it. For a few good tense seconds Rack-Jaw was still until his torso sliced in half then evaporated into black smoke along with a giant heart floating into the sky seconds later. Lastly the ice and dark sphere disappeared leaving a chest left in the sand where Rack-Jaw had been, Weiss took notice of this but before she could take a look she saw Ruby coming from up from the right side of her

"WEISS YOU DID IT!" Ruby yelled out running up to her and giving the girl a big hug despite her injuries, followed by the others seconds later

"Ruby you shouldn't be moving with your injuries." Weiss said with a concern tone

"Don't worry my Weiss, I'm fine for the most part. Just need the cuts to heal up naturally I guess." Ruby answered back as she hugged Weiss close enough that their cheeks pushed against one another making both girls smile but also blushed heavily. Though the moment was interrupted seconds later

"So you two going get a room or…." D-VA asked with a smirk as Weiss and Ruby let go of one another embarrassed now

"Awe man you beat me to my joke." Daxter remarked with an amused smirk as Jak lightly smack the back of his head "What was that for?"

"Nothing just wanted to hit ya." Jak answered back amusingly

"Either way we should get going." Hei stated as the others nodded in agreement

"Agreed." Weiss replied as she made her way to the chest, picked it up and stored it in her coat to open later. Then made her way back next to M1-4X, while Ruby made her way next to Mister B "Ruby already said this to Mister B, but once we get back to Traverse town we'll give you some time to spend outside of them gem."

"Understood, until next time then stay safe." M1-4X said as he and Mister B were engulfed in light then gone as the light died down

"So maybe we should get going back to Torn's, sound good?" Ruby suggested

"Sounds good." Everyone else said as they and Ruby made their way back to Torn's hideout. Though Ruby and Weiss hoped that Yang and Blake we're doing okay

-Back with Yang and Blake-

"Well that was fun." Yang stated as she punched a Crimson Guard in the stomach, knocking him out cold. Blake and Bastion were done with their small batch of Guards they had to deal with for the past three minutes since they had entered the deeper areas of the fortress, while getting closer to the ammo depo

"You definition of fun might vary from mine Yang." Blake replied as she rolled her eyes at her girlfriends definition for fun, but then she turned her attention over to bastion who's rifle arm still had smoke coming out of the barrel "You did a good job Bastion, but are you sure they'll be fine. Those bullet wounds looked deep."

"Beep, boop, vroop." Bastion answered with a reassuring tone

"He said that they'll be fine, but this whole lot will be having to take work off for a while." Yang answered as Blake sighed a little

"I guess that's the best I can ask for, hm maybe once we get back to Traverse Town me and the girls could find someone to help you with your little issues with your combat programing." Blake said as Bastion just nodded in agreement

"Maybe we should get going, I think we pretty close to the ammo depo Blakey." Yang suggested with a smile

"Sounds good hun." Blake answered back as she, Yang and Bastion made their way into the next room; but not before Yang said one last thing to the injured Crimson guards

"Hope you boys had much fun as we did fighting with ya." Yang remarked as she was last to enter in the last room

"No it wasn't fun for any of us…." One random guard groaned in pain as the door closed behind Yang

"Vroop, vroo, boop?" Bastion asked tilting his head to the right a little in confusion

"What I can't just let an opportunity to say a witty comeback like that go by can I?" Yang replied back as Bastion just kept his stare "Alright, alright you win. Jeez Bastion didn't know you could wield guilt like a hammer."

"I'm taking it that he didn't approve of your little comment?" Blake asked with a smirk

"No he didn't and I suspect you didn't either right?" Yang asked smirking back already knowing the answer as Blake simply planted a kiss on her lips for a few seconds before reacting back

"You know me to well." Blake said as she and Yang suddenly notice Bastion covering his eye with his hand "Didn't take you for being so innocent Bastion."

"Vroo, beep, vroo…" Bastion answered as he uncovered his eye

"He said when he first came back online, he had a few young children nice enough to teach him rights from wrongs. One his first lessons was how to give people their privacy." Yang explained

"I see." Blake muttered to herself as she look back to take notice of the room they were in "Hey Yang you were right, I think this is the ammo depot."

"Sweet I knew it!" Yang proudly stated as she now noticed a card of sorts on top of a few barrels to the right of her, she picked it up and inspected it "Huh I wonder what this is?"

"I can't say myself, maybe a I.D of sorts?" Blake suggested

"Beep, vroo." Bastion said

"Really a security pass, well I guess that makes sense but why is it here?" Yang replied back as she then noticed something else "Also why is there another tank here?"

"Broop, beep, boop…." Bastion answered with a wary tone

"Guess it would make sense for them to want to keep this place safe, lets just take it slow here though just in case Miss tank wants to come out and play." Yang remarked but before anymore of the conversation continued, a noise underneath them was heard

"What was that?" Blake asked as she and the other noticed a large vent, they all made their way over and looked down to see four figures. The first two were large dark blue skin lizards with small hind legs, large front arms used to keep up it's upper torso, a small head and was covered in bone like armor around the head along with the shoulders/torso (Yang and Blake decided that those must have been metal heads that Daxter spoke of). Said metal heads were coming out from a broken open large pipe, the other two with them was to their surprise a Crimson guard and Shade guard surrounded by barrels.

"Vroop?" Bastion asked

"Yeah, we're wondering what's going on as well buddy." Yang replied as they saw the Crimson guard walked up slightly closer to the metal heads

"These barrels are the latest shipment of echo, take them and get out you freak." The guard said with stern tone as the Metal head move up and inches with hostile growls. Making said guard and Shade guard aim their guns back in self-defense

"Grrrr….." The Shade guard growl loudly enough

"Don't even think about it, my friend here hasn't had any lunch yet and he can get mean when he's hungry. Now like I said take it and get out freaks." The Crimson guard stated with a threating tone as the metal head looked at the Shad guard then each other, then back at the guards. With that the metal heads took the first few shipment of echo and re-entered the pipes

"Now that over with they won't be back for a while, come on let's get something to eat." The Crimson guard said as the Shad guard just stared at him, oddly enough then Crimson guard just snicker a little "Yeah I know the foods bad but we still need to eat and maybe if you down the all of the food this time, we'll make a trip to the prisons. See if any they have any of those hearts for you to munch on."

"RRRRAAAAAHGGGHHHH!" The Shad guard screeched out in a disturbingly happy tone, which again got a laugh out the guard

"That's the spirit, now come on lets hurry before we're stuck with the left overs from yesterday." The Crimson guard replied back as he and the Shade guard made their way to the cafeteria

"That was weird, but what they heck is going on with the guards and those metal heads?" Yang asked feeling pretty confused

"I'm wondering the same thing, but what I want to know is why their giving the metal heads echo. From what I can tell the guard and metals heads are supposed to be enemies, so why supply your enemies with more ammo so to speak." Blake asked next getting worried that the situation just got a lot worse. Though suddenly they heard an engine, they all looked up to see the tank in the ammo depo had activated and was aiming it's guns at them.

"BOOP, BOOP!" Bastion yelled out

"Yeah let's get a move on!" Yang answered back as she, Blake and Bastion began running around the room, with the tank shooting at them. This went on for a minute before it was starting to become tiresome dodging the blast from the tank

"Okay in all seriousness we need to get rid of this thing and try to blow this ammo depo up, any ideas?" Blake asked as she and the other dodged yet another blast

"Ah…um…ah, nope I don't having anything sorry." Yang answered back as she threw her Keyblade at the tank, only for it to just bounce back for her to catch "That thing really has some tough armor!"

"VROOP!" Bastion yelled out as his rifle bullets were ineffective, leaving only really scratched paint on the tanks left side

"I don't even need a translation to know what he said, but seriously how do get rid of this thing?" Blake stated as she fired a few blizzard spells at the tanks treads to see if that would slow it down. Sadly the tank was unaffected and kept on the pursuit "OH COME ON!"

"Beep, boop, beep." Bastion quickly said as Yang went wide eyed

"Bastion dude why didn't you say you could do that before?" Yang asked as Bastion sheepishly shrugged while dodging yet another blast from the tank

"What did he say Yang?" Blake asked firing off Fire spells in a slight hope it could do some damage (which it didn't)

"Oh he said he has a short timed tank mode, he can use it now as it takes a while to load up. Also he can only do it for a good forty seconds, so it won't last long." Yang answered as the lower half of her hair was inches away from getting burnt off by one of the tanks blasts "OH YOU ARE SO LUCKY YOU OVERSIZED BUCKET OF BOLTS!"

"Well that would be a sight to see you kick that tanks butt." Blake stated smirking a little as she turned her attention over to Bastion "Can you ya know do that thing Yang just explained you could do?"

"Vroop!" Bastion happily answered as the girls kept running but Bastion stopped, quickly turned around and transformer in a miniature tank with a roundish top, a large but shortened barrel and two sets of trends on each side

"Okay that's really cool." Blake muttered as Bastion began getting the agro on him, thankfully he was fast enough to dodge the larger tank blast and Bastions tank mod was doing a surprisingly amount of damage to the armor plating of the tank. Meanwhile Yang and Blake took this short opportunity to begin trying to figure it how to blow up the ammo depo

"So any idea sweet stuff?" Blake asked as Yang blushed a little from the nickname, but quickly got her composure back

"Oh ah yeah, um maybe its the four fuel tanks on each sides of these two pillars in this room?" Yang suggested though not really all confident in that answer

"That….wait a minute here." Blake replied back as she look to see four red fuel tanks suspended by two pipes from above and below with the Crimson guard symbol in the center. "Yang you're a genius!"

"Wait what, I mean yeah totally I knew what I was talking about." Yang remarked trying to play it off (Though Blake could see through it, she played along). "Still question is how we blow these things up, I don't think our magic or keyblades will do much. They looked pretty reinforced." She asked as Blake began thinking about, then looked at Bastion and the Tank still fighting. She suddenly got an idea

"Yang I think I figure out a way to blow those fuel tanks up, but we got to get Bastion over to us." Blake explained as Bastion was blasted off in his robot form, right up to their feet

"Well he's here." Yang said as she and Blake helped up Bastion, though he was sparking a little "You okay Bastion?"

"Vroo, boop, vroom." Bastion answered as a few small wielding torches came out of his right shoulder along with his sides and began quickly fixing up his damage areas

"Okay that's also pretty cool, but we still got the tank to worry about." Blake said with a worried looked

"Beep, beep, broop." Bastion replied back

"He said he damage the right side the tanks trends, so it should be moving slower now." Yang explained as she pointed to the Tank which was sparking from the lower right side and moving much slower than it had been before

"Alright then, so now that Bastion is here I'll explain the plan." Blake stated "So the plan is that Yang and I get the tank to destroy the fuel tanks by hiding behind them, Bastion you'll be serving as the distraction again. But this time just to lead it to a new direction when these first four fuel tanks are over with. You both understand?"

"Yep I do, how about you Bastion?" Yang asked as Bastion just nodded

"Alright then lest do this then." Blake remarked

Now with a plan at hand Yang and Blake ran up to the first two fuel tanks, while Bastion made his way to the other fuel tanks to wait. As the Tank made its way up to it's noticed Blake first and shoot off a round, missing Blake but hitting the fuel tank she was in front of. Blake than ran to the next fuel tank on the other side while Yang ran in font of fuel tank behind the tank itself. Then tank took notice of Yang and fired, hitting the fuel tank she was in front of now. Yang than ran back to the second to last fuel tank, waited for the tank to come up to where she was and procced with same process with the same results. Yang then ran up to Blake as both waited for the tank, as before the war machine arrived and shot at them destroying the first set of the eight fuel tanks.

Yang and Blake then made their way over to Bastion who now was firing off rifle rounds to get it's attention as he stood in front the first fuel tank to be shot at. As predicted when the tank was closed enough it shot and destroyed the fuel Tank. Blake and Yang waited next by their designated fuel tanks, as before the Tank did the same and destroyed those ones, lastly it went up to Bastion and shot the final fuel tank causing the ammo depot to start shaking violently

"Waring self-destructed will commence in ten seconds, evacuate immediately." Said a V.I's voice as a door on the other side opened up

"Well that's our que to leave!" Yang yelled out as she, Blake and Bastion booked it out, dodging the tanks attempt to shoot them. As the group was at the entrance of the exit the place blew up, pushing them all out and backing onto the outside ground. Though Bastion was first to land, followed by Blake then Yang who feel on top of his back

"Ugh…." Yang muttered as she was the first to sit back up and get off of Bastions back, she lend Blake a hand as she got off of Bastion who he himself got up seconds later

"You know Yang maybe we should move to the country after this to live out a peaceful life." Blake said as she dusted herself off while Yang shrugged accompanied by a country style guitar tune played by Bastion internal speakers

"Nice one Bastion." Yang happily said as Bastion nodded back

"Very funny Yang, still should head back to Torn now. Maybe Ruby, Weiss Jak and Daxter will be back there." Blake suggested as she, Yang and Bastion began making their way back to Torn's hideout now

-Meanwhile elsewhere in Haven City-

"So is this all the information you have?" Jaune asked as he was leaning against a wall in one of the many slums of the Haven city, talking to one of the Barons many scouts in the city. Men and women covered in a black clock who would rat out anyone to gain some sort of standing in the hierarchy in this city. Jaune was talking to one of the female scouts as she leaned next to him

"Yes it's all I have, the underground rebels here are taking extra precautions so they wouldn't be found, now I expect that I'll be getting a good write up for this?" The female spy asked with a slightly inpatient tone

"Yes, yes you will. I'll make sure the Baron keeps his word about moving your family up to the more pleasant part of the city. Now get out of here." Jaune answered as the scout left, leaving Jaune to his thoughts -"Now the question is how I get the rebels out?"-

"Get back in formation trooper!" Yelled a Crimson guard captain with his platoon of eighteen troops. He was currently yelling at a trooper slightly taller than the seventeen others

"Well speaking of good timing." Jaune muttered to himself as he walked up to the captain who took notice of him with wary caution

"State you business citizen." The captain asked sternly as Jaune laughed and pulled out the badge Praxis had given to him

"This should tell you captain." Jaune replied back as the captain immediately straighten out giving a quick salute

"Sir I do humbly apologize for my actions before!" The captain yelled out as he turned back to his men "Troopers stand at attention, we have one of the Baron's personal agents here!"

"SIR!" The troopers yelled out as they stood straight at attention just like the captain

"At ease men." Jaune said amused by the sight as the captain and his troopers relaxed their stances

"Understood sir, but what is it you need us for?" The captain asked as Jaune smiled

"Well captain how would you and your boys like to root out some underground rebels?" Jaune asked with a wide smirk

"We'd be ecstatic to sir, right men?" The captain proudly replied as the troopers all cheered a battle cry "Just tell us what to do sir."

"That's what I like to hear, alright from the intel I've been given the small slums to the right of us are harboring some rebels. Problem is that they've taken extra precautions to stay hidden. So the plan is that me plus nine of your men take the front of the slums and I have them start firing off to alert the citizens along the with rebels hiding. You Captain and the rest of your men will come around from the back and box it the scared citizens and hidden Rebels giving them no place to run. Is that understood?" Jaune explained as the captain chuckled

"Sir we read you loud and clear, nine of you stay here. The rest of you follow me." The captain ordered as he and nine of his men made their way around the back

"Alright then, boy let's get to work." Jaune order with a prideful as he and his nine men walked right into the slums. With a snap of Jaune's fingers the troopers began firing their rifles in the air, which to Jaune's plan went exactly as he thought it would as all the citizen in the area immediately were frighten but all came out to see what the commotion was about. Once it seemed like they all were in one area Jaune cleared his throat before making his announcement "Alright people listen up we've gotten word that underground rebels are taking refuge here. Now if you all corporate we'll be on our way. We just need to make sure that you all are just regular citizens. Oh and captain you may come out now."

"Yes sir." The Captain answered as he and his men came in from behind the crowd aim their guns straight ahead, like Jaune's men were doing

"Um excuse me sir, b-but w-we don't kn-know what your t-t-talking about." Answered one of the male slums citizens

"He lies Jaune, I can sense it. He's also one of the rebels playing innocent, don't ask how but call it an instinct. You know what you have to do to make them know you're serious…." Ansem whispered into Jaune's mind as Jaune himself just smiled and patted the man's shoulder

"I see good sir well…." Jaune answered as to the horror of the man and the citizens Jaune had thrusted his blade right through the man's heart. The man fell own with a look of horror on his face as the citizens all cried in fear

"Good kill sir!" One of the guards on his side yelled out as the other chanted in pride

"Thank you kindly." Jaune answered back as he flung the dripping blood of his sword and looked back at the horrified crowd "Now you all can see that playing dumb won't get you anywhere. So is anyone going to speak or what?" Jaune asked as the citizens all were starting to panic. The captain took notice of this and walked to Jaune

"Sir if I might have a word." The captain asked as Jaune pulled him over for a private conversation

"You may captain, what is on your mind?" Jaune asked as he silently order the troops to keep an eye on the citizens

"Sir I don't think they'll tell us anything, they hate us more than fear us. With that in mind they'll keep quiet just to spite us. With that in mind what should do now sir?" The captain asked as Jaune began to think it over, but couldn't find the answer, until Ansem gave him it

"You know what you have to do right?" Ansem asked as Jaune didn't give him an answer "Guess you don't, well what I'm saying is that if you can't get rid of the rebels. Then get of the whole lot and I mean the whole lot."

"B-but what about the women, elderly and children. I mean the men are one thing but them…I…I don't know if I can do the same to the rest." Jaune replied back with a slightly nervous tone and was thankful for the ability to mentally chat with Ansem at the moment

"You must child, if you don't the woman and elderly will want you dead. The children also will want you dead, it's will just make it more dangerous for your personal health. So that is why you must get rid of them all or do you want to be always weaker than those four girls in both power and willingness?" Ansem answered as he knew that last sentence would set Jaune off to be more agreeable with his suggestion

"When you put it that way, well then I guess I'll have to agree with you." Jaune replied back as a slight aura of darkness appeared on him for a brief second, much to Ansem's amusement

"Then order it boy, show me you want the power, show me you truly are worthy to be the wielder of my power!" Ansem stated proudly as Jaune smirked a little

"Um sir are you okay?" The captain asked from Jaune's minute of silence, Jaune just smiled back

"Yes I am captain, I want you and your men to kill them all." Jaune ordered easily as the captain looked a little surprise by his order

"Sir, what did you just say?" The captain asked curious if he heard right as Jaune smiled wider now

"I guess I wasn't loud enough, captain as your superior I am ordering you to kill all the citizens here. All the men, women, elderly and even children." Jaune repeated with a devious smirk as the captain laughed a little

"Sir I think you and me are going to get along just fine." The captain stated as he turned to his men "Men we just got our order, Code-Purge is to be acted upon." He ordered as the eighteen guards juts laughed and turned their attention over to the citizens, aimed their guns and turned the safety off

"M-mom what's going to happen?" A boy the age of fifteen asked as he hugged his mother in the crowd of scared citizens

"Everything is going to alright hunny I pro-" The mother answered but was cut off as suddenly the sounds of guns could be heard echoing through the slums, seconds later all that could be heard after were multiple thumps hitting against the ground as the Guards reloaded their guns. All the while Jaune watched not in awe, but in slight sickening curiosity on what he just did

Juane didn't know how to feel right now, he knew what he just did was what most would call monstrous. But he didn't care actually anymore now that he thought about it more as it wasn't like any of these people meant anything to him. No his team, fiancé and unborn child were all that he cared about now. If that meant he would have to kill many to save them, he would without hesitation because he now saw that if he wanted to get what he wanted and to save those he loved above else. He would have to get his hands dirty and that was what he accepted. With that final thought he turned to the captain with a smile

"Very good captain, you and your men seem to be very dedicated to the guard. Tell me what is it your platoon does anyways?" Jaune asked as the captain sighed

"Thank you sir, but sadly we're just a short term patrol. If you ask me we should be out hunting more Rebels but order are orders." The captain answered with a irritate tone

"Sad indeed, a man and his platoon with their skills should be put to better use. Are you thinking what I'm am Jaune?" Ansem stated as Jaune smiled in agreement and place his right hand on the captains left shoulder

"You and troops don't have to bother with that anymore, captain how would you and your men like become my personal guard. We'll be definitely hunting and eliminating much more underground rebels." Jaune stated as the captain laughed loudly for a few seconds before answering

"Sir, I think we'd love nothing more than that." The captain answered as he looked to his men "Boy we just got reassigned, we're all going to rebel hunting understood!"

"YES SIR!" The eighteen guards yelled out in joy

"That's what I like to hear, hm what is your name anyways captain?" Jaune replied back

"Captain Reaver sir!" Captain Reaver answered with a proud tone as Jaune chuckled a little

"Good to know then Captain Reaver. Call me Jaune or sir, whichever you feel more comfortable with calling me." Jaune said but then felt a slight ting in his head –"The hell was that?"-

"Aw I see, you're experiencing one of your abilities." Ansem remarked as Jaune looked a little confused by that "What I mean is that your current ability of many manifest within you is one that can be very useful. It's call True Heart."

"True Heart?" Jaune asked wanting more on what he was talking about

"Yes an ability which allows you in a sense to read the truth of others spiritual hearts. Right now one of your men may not be as loyal as he's playing out to be. Focus and you may find out who it is." Ansem explained as Jaune did just that and focused in. Within a ten seconds later he spotted the possible turncoat. It was the taller trooper that was being yelled at earlier and now that he took notice the trooper look to be nervous

"Sir are you okay?" Captain Reaver asked as Jaune turned him around and brought his face close for a private conversation

"I am, but what can you tell me about the taller troop in your platoon?" Juane asked quietly as Captain Reaver knew who he was asking about

"Yes him, Private Tanner. He was just added to my group, but why do you ask?" Captain Reaver answered

"Because I think he may not be as loyal as the rest of you if you get my drift." Jaune explained as Captain Reaver looked back to now see what he meant about Private Tanner

"I see what you mean sir, what do want us to do about it?" Captain Reaver asked as he readies his gun

"Well for one right now just treat him normally and tell your men to do the same. See if he acts any stranger and if so then question him about it. You can do whatever need to do to get the information from him. Then after that do whatever you would like, if you want to keep him around then so be it and if you want to kill him so be it also. That sounds like a plan captain?" Juane explained once more

"Crystal sir." Captain Reaver said as he turned to his troops now "Get in formation, we're heading back to barracks for a quick load up for ammunition, then back to rebel killing is that understood!"

"SIR YES SIR!" The troopers all yelled out but what now that Jaune took notice, he saw that Private Tanner was less enthusiastic in his heart about it. With that he, Captain Reaver and the rest of the troopers began making their way back to the fortress. As this happened Private Tanner was having his own worries

-"Oh god…what have I done I mean I had to but still. Okay keep calm don't let them see you freaking out. Once I get back to the barracks I need to tell lady Ashelin about what's transpires along with this new guy taking over the platoon. I just hope I don't get found out before then, please whatever god is out there forgive me for my sin's I just have committed."- Private Tanner thought to himself at the back of the line following the others while also doing his be to not show his nervousness to Jaune who was right behind him, though unknown to Tanner Juane was having his own thoughts at the moment

-"I'm finally starting to feel powerful. If I find team RWBY I'll have to play as the lost friend for now, but when I don't have to anymore then I'll take much joy in killing those four with my own two hands."- Jaune thought to himself with a smirk that only could be described as murderous. Unknown to his knowledge the darker aura came back forming around him slightly but this time the aura was pitch black along with the fact that for a second or two his eyes turned an malevolent orange

-Meanwhile elsewhere completely-

"Ugh…where….where am I?" Cloud muttered to himself as he laid on what he could tell was grass. He kept his eyes closed for a minuet more before opening them to see he was in a forest with tall green pine trees and darker colored grass, along with the fact the blue sky above him had dark clouds coming in from the right of him current position

Cloud had no idea how he got here as he remembered being in another world with those four girls he was order to kill. But he didn't kill them and in sense he was glad to have not, though he would have done it if only to find that man whose name he doesn't care to say. He also had never taken a life of a child let alone four so he was glad to have lost even if it meant losing an easy way to find who he has been searching for as long he can remember. But what baffled him was that it felt like there was a gap between that and his arrival here, along with the fact his left eye was sore. But he paid no mind to that as he heard an ungodly screech and the sounds of battle. Cloud quickly got up and went to the source of the battle, once he got there he took notice he was now close to the edge of a steep cliff. What caught his full attention though was the one lone man fighting off four other men if you call the attackers that at all.

Said four attackers had bronzed spiked armor, sharp deadly weapons that look like they were more for slow torture then quick and efficient killing blows. The four attackers also had rotten skin, lip-less mouths that showed their razor teeth and sunken in eyes. Said lone man was a mild age man with tanned skin, a black beard, black hair in a small pony tail and wedeling two daggers that look to be made from high quality materials. His torso consisted of a steel engraved chest plate with a red long sleeved shirt underneath, steel engraved upper arm plating, engraved steel shoulder pads, black leather gloves, a ton of brown leather belts that covered a tan rob with red cloth and lastly steel boots. Said man was taking out the four monstrosities with quick and easy precision. Three of the attackers were already dealt with and the last one was thrown over onto the ground, then kicked off the edge of the cliff. Cloud was impress but noticed as the lone man was getting his wind back that another one of the things came behind him quickly with a knife and ready to stab the lone fighter in the back. Cloud in a quick movement dashed forward and swung his buster blade, slicing the monster in two and getting the attention of the lone fighter.

"Well…thank you young man." The lone fighter said with slight wariness from what Cloud could tell, so in a way of not causing an unneeded fight Cloud sheathed his blade

"No problem, I just heard your battle and went to see it. Then I noticed you were about to be attacked and I just did what I had to do." Cloud answered as he noticed the man studying him

"Then again I thank you but where do hail from if you don't mind telling me?" The lone fighter asked as Cloud though it be best to tell a little white lie as he knew if he told the truth, he'd been seen as probably crazy

"To be honest I don't remember I only just woke up in the forest before hearing your battle." Cloud answered as he realized he had to at least tell the man his name "Oh I'm Cloud, who would you be?"

"Right how rude of me, allow me to introduce myself. I am Duncan Warden Commander of the Ferelden Grey Wardens. I'm sure you have heard of the order correct?" Duncan said introducing himself as Cloud nodded no "Really you haven't, then I assume you don't know what I was just fighting then correct?"
"Yeah you can say that, but I'm guessing you want me to come with your correct?" Cloud replied back as Duncan smirked

"Smart lad you are, yes I know its strange to ask but the dark spawn the creatures I just killed aren't to kind of anything that isn't them. I'm the best chance you may have to getting out of this forest alive and I would like nothing more than to repay you for saving me." Duncan explained as Cloud just snickered a little

"No problem you got a deal, still where are we heading to?" Cloud asked

"My main destination is to the Ostagar fortress but before that I need to make one more stop to see if I may find a recruit for Grey Warden ranks. I already tried every other possible places I could but now the only chance left for a new recruit is in Denerim within the Alienages for the Elf's" Duncan explained as Cloud just nodded guessing Duncan was going to explain what he was talking about

"Then I guess we better get going then." Cloud stated as Duncan nodded in agreement

"Indeed Cloud, I am sure was have much to talked about." Duncan replied back as he and Cloud began making their way into the forest, while Cloud had a feeling sooner or later he would see those four girls once again

-Back in Traverse Town-

"You know this place isn't so bad when you take a good look around." Lena said with a smile as she, Solider 76, Fareeha, Angela, Winston (who Angela was watching closely so he didn't do anything rash with his sprained ankle) and Glynda were sitting at a table in the only restaurant in the first district of Traverse town. Passing time by as Glynda hoped her current company was at least trying to get use to this place, which it seemed like they were. But some were having an easier time than others in this matter

"Even so I feel unless right now." Solider 76 answered back as Angela patted his right shoulder

"We all do 76, but like Glynda has told us it's up to those four teenage girls and their companions to untimely save the dozen of worlds in peril from to the Heartless threat." Angela explained though with slight doubt still in her tone

"Which what worries me and I'm sure the rest of you all still as well." Fareeha added in as the others uneasily nodded in agreement, even Lena

"Believe me Fareeha the help you're all offering would be appreciated, but those are the rules when wielding a keyblade from what I've been told. I'm especially okay with you offering to help from what you've all told me of your world, a world full of hero's even if you aren't the most love it's still something to be marveled at." Glynda stated with a smile

"Your world is one of interest as well Glynda, from the Grimm and dust to the weaponry and Aura. If I could have a chance to study a bit of your world that would be an interesting day to say at least." Winston stated with a small smile

"Still Winston I personally don't like the thought of schools made to train teenagers to become hunters and huntresses from what Glynda explained to us about that specifically. Seems a bit unethical if you ask me." Fareeha sternly said as Glynda sighed but understood on a sense why since from what she had been told. Their world didn't approve of using children to fight wars or battles of any kind

"If it makes the idea any better we only pick students who are the best of the best in that generation and trained them with the necessary skills they need to fight Grimm." Glynda explained as Fareeha's expression soften a little bit but not by much

"But how many have you lost is what I want to know?" Solider 76 asked as the others gave him irradiated glances

"76 don't you think that's a little personal to ask?" Winston asked as Solider 76 nodded no

"I don't think so, if she doesn't want to answer she doesn't have to. But I want to know how many they've lost since Glynda's world seem pretty dangerous with those Grimm things." Solider 76 explained as Glynda sighed once more but deiced to tell him anyways

"To be personally honesty in the whole history of hunters and huntresses, it's really too many to count. Most were probably around the ages of seventeen and nineteen. But if it makes it any better with every generation less and less have died. This generation hasn't lost as single student at all so that's a good thing at least." Glynda explained with a frown but slight happiness that at least now the children were less likely to die now a days. Though the other didn't seem to convinced about it

"I think what 76 is trying to say is that maybe the whole hunter and huntress thing maybe more harmful at points that good." Angela explained trying to make sure that Glynda didn't take it the wrong way

"I guess to you all it would be, not that I blame you since you don't use kids for that sort of stuff ever. Then again you have your sets of problems all your own." Glynda replied back

"Were not trying to offend you Glynda honest, I guess we're just still a little shock or at least most of us are on how your world works. But I'm sure that those four girl along with those five strangers with them can do it. In fact I know they can and while there off doing what they have to do, this town still needs protection not just from heartless but crooks and thugs living in this town also!" Lena yelled out proudly that it brought a smile to the Glynda's face at how positive the woman was. But before anyone could answer a horde of Heartless Soldiers popped out from the ground. Some staring at them while other were piled up in a cluster, like they were trying to get into something underneath them

"So….should we fight them?" Angela asked as she pulled her pistol (while smacking herself for not bringing her staff with her since she didn't expect a fight to happen anytime soon)

"You bet ya love!" Lena answered back as she had blinked forwards and was already shooting her pulse pistols, followed by Fareeha who launched up into the air and began shooting off her hand held rocket launcher. Even Winston ignoring his sprained ankle had leaped into the battle firing off his arc cannon. All this happened in seconds leaving Glynda, Angel and 76 back at the table

"Did they just…" Angela asked as she blinked her eyes

"I think so Angela." Glynda answered as she pulled out her cattle crop

"Well what are we waiting for?" Solider 76 asked as Glynda and Angela looked to see him loading a clip into his pulse rifle "Let's go show these kids what us old folks can do." He said and made his way into the battle now as well

"Did he just call us…" Angela asked once more with a slightly angered looked

"Oh yes, yes he did." Glynda answered with a very angered look "Deal with the battle first, then find a way to get back at him for that comment. Sound good to you Angela?"

"Most defiantly Glynda, most defiantly." Angela answered back as she and Glynda charged into battle last (Though with much more anger from 76's little old folks comment and used that anger against the Heartless they were facing)

As the battle commenced the group fought tooth and nail shooting, punching, blowing up and bashing the Soldiers back into walls, against the ground and all in all it was an all-out war. Minuets passed as they whole group tried their best to push back the Solider but it was becoming tiring as the Soldiers kept popping up in their relentless assault

"I'm not one usually to say anything bad about others but these Heartless are really annoying!" Lena said as she kicked a Solider that tried to lung at her

"You're telling me!" Solider 76 replied back as he activated his tactical targeting mod in his visor "I got you in my sight!" he said sternly as he fired off his pulse gun while his visor locked onto multiple Soldiers with each bullet hitting their marked target. But as soon as it started it also ended

"Nice one 76." Winston said as he fired his arc cannon once more, shocking the Soldiers in front of him until they burst into dark smoke

"We can't keep doing this though." Glynda reminded the others as she whipped a few Soldiers with her cattle crop

"I have to agree fully." Angela adding in firing her pistol off but missing a decent amounts of the shots but one Solider got passed her assault and lunged at her. Angela hadn't reload and it was coming in to fast. But before the Solider could make contact it was cut in half by Vladimir's Saw Cleaver

"Did you ladies need some help?" Vladimir asked as Angela looked at him puzzled by his weapon and appearance, Glynda on the other hand was glad to see him

"You bet we are, who else is with you though and why are even here not that I'm complaining." Glynda asked a she whipped another Soldier near her

"For one I woke up and took a walk with only two of the others who couldn't sleep either. Two, those who's are with is well you'll see." Vladimir answered as he shot his blunderbuss pushing back some of the Soldiers

"Can someone help me please?" Fareeha asked as she was at the moment on the ground for her jet pack to refuel itself and was getting crowded by the Soldiers. Then out of nowhere Eileen jumped from the side of her and began slashing up the Soldiers with her blade, which she snapped into two blades making a combo attack that took out the Soldiers quickly. Once done she snapped her blades back into one and looked back to see Fareeha who stared at her wide eyed (even though she had her helmet since the start of the battle)

"Enough gawking girl, there's heartless to be slain." Eileen suggested with a stern tone as she began slashing up more Soldiers in her line of sight while Fareeha shook her head getting her senses back

"Right wait, who are you calling a girl lady?!" Fareeha asked in a slightly irritated tone as she followed Eileen while firing her hand held rocket launcher once more

"Winston buddy how are you doing?" Lena asked as Winston flung a few Solider off his arm which crash landed into some of Soldiers Lena was fighting against

"Pretty good, but my ankle is killing me." Winston answered as he activated his domed shield over him and Lena while the Soldiers were bashing their heads against the shield itself to break in

"Thanks big guy." Lena happily said giving Winston a big hug

"No problem Lena, still I'm more worried what Angela is going to do once this is over with. She's going probably force me into bed until I heal up. You know how she is." Winston stated as a slight shiver went up his back over his friends somewhat scary (But motherly attitude) with her patients/friends

"That just because she cares love, but we better get ready because I think your shield is about to go down." Lena replied back as seconds later the shield broke disappearing, leading Lena Winston to start shooting their weapons to push back the income Soldiers. But as they did this Alfred came in swing his Logarius wheel down on a few Solider, crushing them in the process. He lifted his weapon noticing Lena and Winston

"Huh well a pretty lady in a pretty peculiar outfit and a large whatever you are big guy. But no time for talk these foul creatures need to be slaughtered." Alfred commented as he began bashing his wheel brutally crushing any and all Solider in his vicinity

"Did I just get hit on?" Lena asked with a confused look

"Does he even know what a gorilla is?" Winston asked next as he and Lena looked at one another shrugging then following in behind him into battle

"So yeah you can see its Eileen and Alfred who are with me ladies!" Vladimir remarked as he transformed his weapon in its cleaver mod and began side sweeping the Soldiers in half

"We can see that boy, but less taking and more fighting!" Solider 76 yelled out as he fired a volley of triple rockets, blasting a large number of Soldiers into the air. The battle went on for a few more minutes but in the end the Soldiers numbers finally dwindled leaving only the group to catch a breather

"Well that was fun, but I think we have another issue." Alfred stated point towards a now small purple dome that must have been what some of the Soldiers were piling up to break into

"What do you think it is?" Winston asked as everyone else just shrugged not having a clue but to their surprises the dome opened, engulfing the area in a blinding light until it died down a few seconds later leaving behind a interesting surprise, six to be exact as what was left was six colorful…. ponies, yes that's right ponies

"Ah my head hurts…wait, oh dear Celestia. Girls are you okay?" Asked the first pony who was a female by the tone of her voice, also by the looks of it the other ponies we're female as well. The first said pony had purple fur, a long purple mane and tail with a single pink strip in both. Two wide purple eyes, a horn and a tattoo on her flak that looked like a pink star

"Sure are sugar cube, we're fine." Said the second female pony, with orange fur, wide green eyes, a long blond mane and tail with red ties at the ends of both. A tattoo on her flank that was of three red apples, lastly she wore a brown Stetson hat on top of her head

"I'm not, my mane is all messy and dirty!" screamed the third female pony with white fur, wide blue eyes with purplish-blue eye shadow above the eye lids, a horn like the first pony, along with curled purple mane and tail. Lastly she had tattoo of three diamonds on her flank

"Seriously that's what you're worried about?" Asked the fourth female pony (despite the slightly more boyish tone) with wide deep pink eyes, sky blue fur, strangely a short tomboyish rainbow colored mane and long rainbow colored tail. There were two wings on her back and lastly a tattoo on her flank with a white cloud that had a rainbow lightning bolt coming our form the bottom

"Hey lets not fight, we should have a "We avoided being sucked up into the scary darkness" party!" happily yelled the fifth female pony who had wide blue eyes, pink fur, a puffy pink mane and tail along with a tattoo on her flank of three balloons. One balloon being light yellow on top while the lower balloons were light blue

"Not like that sounds like a bad idea but um….I…I think we're with company….just saying." The sixth female pony stated shyly as she had light yellow fur, aqua green eyes, a pink well groom mane along with a slightly longer well groom tail. She also had a pair of two wings and a tattoo on her flank that was of three pink butterflies

"Um…..hello?" Glynda said with small but also awkward smile –"And here I thought things could not get weirder than what's been going on already."-

"Ah….hello back to, well what are you?" The purple pony with the horn asked

"Oh ah were all humans, we'll expect for Winston here but….is there something wrong with your shy friend?" Glynda replied back but pointed the attention to the yellow pony who was looking at Winston wide eyes

"Oh dear Celestia." The purple pony with the horn said as she and the other ponies back up a little

"What the heck does she mean by th-" Alfred asked but got the answer as the yellow pony flew right up to Winston with a wide grin of joy

"OH MY GOODNESS AREN'T YOU JUST THE MOST ADORABLE GORILLA EVER!" The yellow pony screamed out joyfully as she began scratching under his chin, which in a shocking turn of events made him start tapping his foot on the ground happily

"Winston what are doing?" Fareeha asked with a baffled look on her face

"I don't know but I feel so calm and in all honestly Gorilla are not supposed to do this but I can't help it. She has a sort of presences of calm and kindness with her." Winston answered as the yellow pony suddenly was enveloped in a purple aura and was pulled back to the other ponies as it turned out the purple ponies horn was glowing. A second later the purple ponies horn stopped glowing and with that the yellow pony was placed back onto the ground

"We apologize for her my good gorilla, but she loves animals dearly." The white pony apologetically stated

"It's no problem really." Winston replied with a small reassuring smile to the yellow pony who smiled back shyly

"Not to be rude but could you um, ladies please tell us your names?" Vladimir asked kindly as the purple pony smiled

"Oh right names sorry about that, but I'm Twilight sparkles." The purple pony Twilight answered proudly

"Howdy, you can call me Applejack or AJ. Whichever you reckon, but it's nice to meet all of yall." The orange pony Applejack answered next, tipping her hat off slightly off to the group

"My name is Rarity dears, pleasure to make your company. The white pony Rarity said with a small smile

"I'm Rainbow Dash the most awesomeness pony here!" The pony Rainbow Dash shouted with a very prideful tone and a prideful smirk

"Pinkie Pies the name and smiled is my game, nice to meet you all new friends!" The pink pony Pinkie Pie answered now jumping in the air joyfully and then giving off a wide smile

"And I'm….well I mean I'm…. Fluttershy." The last pony Fluttershy said once again in a shy manner

"Those, those are the most girly names I have ever heard period." Solider 76 stated as Rainbow Dash flew right up to him in quick speed while leaving a slight trial of well a rainbow behind her

"Hey those are my friend you taking about wise guy, you want to go right now!" Rainbow Dash defensively threatened for the comment about her friends

"I'm just saying but if you want to go little lady or pony then show me what ya got." Solider 76 replied putting away his pulse rifle as he cracked his knuckles. He and Rainbow Dash were glaring at each other with narrowed eyes (well at least Rainbow was since 76 still had his mask on)

"Enough." Eileen sternly stated pushing both 76 and Rainbow away from each other, 76 assets the situation and realized how ridiculous it was

"Fine, not like I wanted to waste my time with you anyways." Solider 76 said with an annoyed tone

"Whatever, but I got my eye on ya bud." Rainbow said next as 76 just shrugged

"Look how about we go somewhere not here" Glynda suggested as she sighed "Yet again another explanation is needed for our six new citizens."

"What do yall mean?" Applejack asked sounding a little nervous

"Silly, she means that there all from different worlds and this world is a refuge for anyone who survived their world being taken away by creature of pure darkness that want nothing more than to steal the spiritual hearts of all those around them. Along with the fact there are four wielders of weapons made to fight said creature of pure darkness and save us all." Pinkie Pie stated with happily as she donned her wide smile, much to the others pure shock

"What…what….what…WHAT HOW DID YOU KNOW?" Glynda asked being the only one to get her cool back quick enough

"Just a hunch." Pinkie Pie answered like it was nothing

"Trust me on this just go with it, you'll stay sane if you do" Twilight explained "But was everything she just said true?"

"Some of it loves, but there are some fact I think we should go over. Oh right sorry none of us ever told you our names. I'm Tracer or Lena if you want to know my real name." Lena replied back joyfully "Mercy is the one that with the wings mechanical wings, Fareeha is the one with in blue armor, Winston is the gorilla but you probably knew that since Fareeha said his name before and Solider 76 is the one with the mask." She added in pointing to each person she named off as they waved kindly back, all except 76 who just nodded

"You all may call me Eileen, the two boys with me are Vladimir who's in the black garments and Alfred who's in white garments. Though between the two Vladimir is the better behaved of the two." Eileen said next as both Vladimir and Alfred waved awkwardly back, though Alfred did raised an eyebrow on Eileen's comment

"And I'm Glynda GoodWitch, look let's all just head back to the hotel and we can go over more of what's going on alright ladies?" Glynda suggested kindly as the ponies nodded in agreement

"Sounds good Glynda, though I believe we have much to explain also. Judging by your looks none of you have seen Pegasus, unicorns or earth ponies at all or at least none like we are." Twilight replied back

"True I guess, but come on then let's get going. Maybe the rest will be awake by now." Glynda replied back as she, the group and ponies made their way back to the hotel. Though Glynda still couldn't help but worry about how team RWBY was doing, she prayed they were doing alright

-Meanwhile with Barron Praxis-

"Doctor what's the status with our test subjects." Praxis asked the head scientist of his research division. Doctor Zinmen a young but intelligent lady in a white coat covering her arms and body. She wore a pair of gray pants that had the cuffs stuffed inside two white boots, she also had a pair of gray rubber gloves and lastly a black gas mask refitted for the chemicals used when the doctor did her projects. Like the current project she was discussing with the Baron as they both walked down a long hallway

"Out of the fifty troopers that volunteered for this, thirty have died, eighteen have passed the test and the last two are on hold." Doctor Zinmen answered as she and the Praxis had made it to their stop which was a large metal door with two hand print scanners on each side. Without having to saying anything both Doctor Zinmen and Praxis placed their hands on the scanners and within seconds later the door opened, revealing a large laboratory filled with many other scientist walking around conducting various experiments

"Good, very good. But if you mind may I see the last two for myself?" Praxis asked as Doctor Zinmen nodded and made her way over to another large metal door guarded by two Crimson Guards armed with stun batons and in armor refitted for biohazardous areas. She soon was followed by the Baron and once they were at said door the guards nodded to her, the Barron and then each other before opening it revealing a large squared shaped testing arena surrounded by a four glass walls on each side

"Here we are Baron Praxis and I must thank you once again for electing me to conduct these tests on my own." Doctor Zinmen stated but before getting an answer she saw from behind the Baron a portal of darkness and she had been debriefed about those by the Baron so she didn't have the need to be fearful (For the most part mind you) "Sir I believe your provider of the test resources is making a visit."

"Indeed she is." Praxis replied back as he turned around to see Maleficent coming up to him as her dark portal disappeared behind her "Maleficent what a pleasant but unexpected surprise, what do I have the honors of your visit for?"

"Ah trying to butter me up Baron, nice try but many have before and all have fail for the most part. What I want to know is what you've been cooking up with my heartless and don't lie to me because I have eyes almost everywhere at all times." Maleficent replied back with a stern tone as Praxis sighed in annoyance

"Fine, fine but just don't bother me with your lectures again. I've heard it enough times to know what happens if I use the heartless too much. Any who followed me and the doctor up to the glass wall." Praxis said as he, Maleficent and the Doctor went up to the glass wall to look into the arenas emptiness

"Well what am I seeing because it looks like nothing?" Maleficent asked impatiently as Praxis just smirked

"Doctor if you would?" Praxis stated with a smug smirk

"At once my lord." Doctor Zinmen replied back as she pressed a few buttons on the control console to the right of her

"Maleficent do you want to know what I learned about your heartless only a while ago?" Praxis asked as Maleficent raised an eyebrow on what he meant. Praxis just took it as a yes "You see Maleficent as your Heartless have the ability to fuse with the ground and walls around them to make quick escapes or travel. I discovered that they can also fuse with living creature as well. That I assume you saw with whatever you used to spy on me, though there was also something else I learned as well. Doctor would you please send in the last two subjects?"

"Already on it Baron Praxis." Doctor Zinmen said as two Crimson guards entered the arena from a door to the left. One looked like a recruit straight out of boot camp with a shiny new set of armor and rifle. The other looked like a harden veteran of both guard duty and war also as his armor was old, worn, scratched up and the rifle had many modifications while having a rough look to it

"Now before I show you my discovery I want you to see the combat prowess of both troopers here." Praxis explained as he went to the control console, press a button which shot out targets dummies. Without any hesitation both troopers began firing at the targets in front of them. The recruit had decent accuracy while the veteran had deadly accuracy

"Alright there is a difference but what does it have to do with you discovery?" Maleficent asked once more becoming very curious about this now

"I see I've caught your interest well then doctor send in the heartless." Praxis replied back as Doctor Zinmen pulled a leaver on the control console releasing to Shadows from cages above the troopers. Seconds later the guards were fused with the Shadows, making two new Shade guards which showed no signs of differences in their appearances "Before you ask yes they now look alike and that is true. But what I learned was that even if that is the case, depending on the battle knowledge and experiences it makes all the difference in our dubbed Shad guards."

Before Maleficent could asked what he was going on about she saw the rookie Shad guard firing his rifle with the same results. But when it came to the veteran Shad guard, his deadly accuracy was enhanced tenfold as the target dummies all shot in the center while breaking said target in half from each shot. Also the veteran Shad guard was able to teleport left to right and throw mid ranged spikes of pure darkness from its hand. With all that seen Maleficent was for once in a very long time surprised by this, which Doctor Zinmen took notice of.

"I see your shock, a normal reaction. Although the host always die. Either from the fusion itself failing or the fusion being a success, I have theorized that if we were to find troopers with a high enough will power. Said troopers could stay alive and keep their mind intact, making what can be also theorized as the deadliest soldiers in our world's history. It's already show results as a certain amount of the Shad guards have shown signs of cooperation with their fellow Crimson guards." Doctor Zinmen explained with a disturbingly joyful tone

"I see then, well Baron I believe my questions here have been answered; but you are playing a very risking game here. If you take the wrong move you could end up becoming victim to the Heartless just like anyone else." Maleficent said as she opened another dark portal and began making her way over to it

"I'll keep that in mind." Praxis replied back with slight annoyance "Also before you leave if you wanted to know, the boy has been doing well here so far. Though I don't know what he's been up to as of the moment he's none the less has been doing fine."

"Thank you keeping me informed then, till next time them Baron Praxis." Maleficent remarked as she entered the portal which closed a few seconds later

"Damn witch." Praxis muttered as he took a deep breath and turned his attention over to the doctor "Doctor Zinmen I believe the next part of the plan is ready to go."

"Are you sure, because if we do the citizens and even guards not informed about the heartless will like or probably be killed, unless they get taken over of course." Doctor Zinmen asked with slight caution

"Yes I'm sure, the high class parts of the city have my elite guards protecting it. Besides this will help root out the weak links in my army and the citizens well I can always find new ones in the outskirts of the city. There are plenty who would take the chance to find comfort here in Haven city, now commence the plan Doctor." Praxis explained as Doctor Zinmen went to the control console and activated the laboratory speaker system, as the doctor spoke into a microphone next to her

"All hands, lab assistants, guards and scientist Plan: Rising Future is a go. Prepare the Heartless, I repeat prepare the Heartless for Plan: Rising future." Doctor Zinmen ordered as from outside of the current room sounds of commotion could be heard "Now we wait my lord."

"Excellent work doctor. Soon very soon I'll be rid of the underground, then I'll make sure those keyblades wielders are destroyed and once that's over with nothing but power from then on. No one will be able to stop me no matter what they try, not even Maleficent herself or my so called allies either." Baron Praxis muttered to himself with a grin as the hordes of Heartless could already be heard moving out into the city, now he just had to wait and see the results when they came

-With the girls-

"Let me just go over this again, you four girls, your friend and his rodent did the missions you were assign to. But in the process also found these three new comers with you?" Torn asked as he rubbed his temples in frustration from the mission debriefing

"We got names ya know." D-VA said a little irked by Torn's attitude but was extremely overjoys that she found Bastion or to be exact Ruby's big sister Yang and friend Blake found him. Either way she was glad to meet Ruby and Weiss other friends "Mines D-VA, the bots is Bastion and mister Mask's here is Hei, easy right?"

"Ignore her for now, we haven't had the best introduction to this place." Hei stated as D-VA rolled her eyes

"Beep, boop, vroo, vroo." Bastion said next

"Got that right Bastion I think D-VA was just trying to make a point." Yang replied as she and D-VA gave each other a high five

"I still can't believe I understand Bastion too, though I'm glad I do." Ruby remarked as she smiled at Bastion who nodded his head back at her

"Well Ruby you do understand Mister B, so I'm not surprised you can understand Bastion also." Blake answered back as Ruby just shrugged amused with herself that she didn't come up to that conclusions

"Indeed Blake, still me and Ruby are pretty shock about well ah…you know." Weiss said trying not to sound judgmental at all while Ruby nodded in agreement with her

"You mean that me and my beautiful kitten here are going out now?" Yang asked with a smirk as she kissed Blake's cheek, making Blake herself giggling a little

"Yes that would be it Yang, but ah maybe you could do that when we're not in company." Ruby replied back as Blake and Yang saw the rest covering their eyes, except for D-VA who was snickering

"Jeez you boys are really old fashioned I'm guessing. What scared to see two girls kissing?" D-VA joked as the boys uncovered their eyes

"Not really, just try to be nice and give your privacy is all." Daxter explained as he jumped off of Jak's shoulder and stood on top of Torn's desk

"Still to get back to the task at hand, the information Yang and Blake have given us about the metal heads and the Crimson Guard is troubling to say the least." Jak stated as everyone else couldn't help but agree with him

"Toatlly, but you know so far all the gig you've given us have been easier than stealing grass from a sleeping yakow." Daxter said with slight annoyance, making Torn laugh a little

"I guess so, you all want to start proving yourself then. Okay then listen up one of our "suppliers" needs his payment delivered, a bag of echo ore in case any of you were wondering. Take the Zoomer parked out back and drive it to the Hip Hog Heaven Saloon in South town. Ask for Krew as he'll be there and don't let the Barons men stop you." Torn explained

"Anything else?" Hei asked

"Yeah once you get there pump him for information, he's wired into the city and may know what the Baron is up to." Torn added in as the group understood what was to be done but suddenly time seemed to slow down for Jak, Daxter and Torn

"Boop, boop, vroop?" Bastion asked in a slight worry as he, D-VA and Hei were looking around surprised what was happen. The girls though knew what this meant

"I do apologize for this, I didn't expect the young ladies here to have non-native company with them." Virgil said appearing behind the group

"Who the heck are you?" D-VA asked wary of the man, while Bastion kept an eye on him and Hei readied his knife

"Hey none of you worry, he's a friend." Blake explained happily as she turned her attention back to Virgil "So I'm guessing this is your doing, which means you've come with advice or a warning."

"Correct, though this place does have a mystical energy to it, I can only slow time down to an extent. For your native friends it's not even past a two seconds yet. Anyways I came here to tell you that the Baron has done something dangerous, though his true goals have not be found yet. He has done something else that could cause issues for you in this world." Virgil explained taking a quick breath before continuing "He's sent out the Heartless into the city, he plans to creating what I'm guessing an army that consisting of the strongest and killing the weak in its wake. It will be coming any time soon, so you must make haste to the Krew's Saloon as to avoid getting caught in the panic. You all must tread carefully as the Heartless and native threats of this world will transpire to kill you all without hesitation. That is all I have and I do apologize but my time here is running up, until next time girls stay safe." He said and with that disappeared as the group (besides Bastion) blinked their eyes, only to open them for him to be gone along with time reverting back to normal once again.

"You can count on us." Daxter said getting the groups attention back to the Jak and Daxter, and deiced to act like nothing weird just happened

"Are you still here?" Torn asked with slight irritation

"Geez lighten up dude." Yang muttered as she and the rest made it out of the base back to the outside. Once outside Hei deiced to ask the most appropriate question

"So who's taking the Zoomer?" Hei asked

"If it's okay with you, can me and the girls do so. We're all small and light enough to do so without weighing down the hovercraft." Ruby replied back with a small smile

"No issues with me, what about the rest of you?" Hei asked as D-VA, Jak, Daxter and Bastion just nodded in agreement with Hei "I guess then it's fine, but just wait for us to modify the hovercraft you all were using so the rest of us can follow behind."

"No problem Hei, right girls?" Ruby asked her team as the all nodded back in agreement

"Alright then, D-VA, Bastion can you two do it. You both seem to be the most experienced with tech." Hei said

"Sure Hei, just give me and Bastion some time then we'll be off." D-VA answered back as she and Bastion made their way over to the larger hovercraft that had been used by the girls, Jak and Daxter earlier. With that they began working their talents out. Meanwhile team RWBY wonder how the rest of this trip on this planet would turn out, but they already had a feeling it was only the start of the chaos

---

So how did you like this chapter, strange and crazy huh? Well that's what I was going for and more question may be arising in your head but I shall not tell so easily mmwhahahaha! Sorry couldn't help it, but any who I know this did get a little dark in the middle of the story but trust me this story for the most part is going to be well how it has been. The darker parts won't be much in this story. Other than that questions will be answered later on in the story, you'll just have to wait and see what I have in store :D

Still I will say I could go so much more darker if I wanted to, trust me on this I could do it though not with this story at all, but with another story that I've been cooking up for a long and I mean a long time since I began watching anime. Let's just say the a few reasons I haven't is because it's pretty much OC with all the characters, lore and such but it will have crossovers like a lot of them. Another problem is that I don't know if there would be a rating for this particular story if I ever did decided to post it. But this is just me rambling and such. Until the next chapter I hope you all have a wonderful day or night! :D
