Hello fellow readers, I finally got this chapter finished up and I do apologize for the wait. Was pre-occupied with a family vacation in which I did try to write up this chapter up then, but it was like seriously so humid that I couldn't even concentrate. But now that I got back home a week ago I took the time to finish up this chapter and I'm happy with the results. There will be some changes to the Jak and Daxter missions within this chapter but this was mainly for story convince. Either than that I've done my best to find most of the grammar errors, so I do apologies once more if there are still some grammar errors.
Now onwards to reading!
I do NOT own anything in these two series RWBY which belongs to RT/ Mounty Oum and Kingdom Heart which belongs to Square Enix/Disney, along with any worlds including in this story be them cannon and added
Four Hearts of One journey: Ch.10: Haven City: Pt.4-Final (For now…)
"So….." Twilight asked as she, her friends, Glynda and her friends all made it back to the hotel. There they briefly met most the other residents of the hotel, two of them were still in one of the bedrooms. The one named Leon then immediately told everyone present to go upstairs to the larger 'Tan' room. Said room was much larger in size with just one bed and one counter that barley took up any space. Everyone had taken a seat on the ground or bed, Leon then went to go explain about the whole heartless situation and the Keyblade wielders destines in more detail. It took a while and he along with his two female companions Yuffie and Aerith left the room. Something about needing to check up with a guy named Sid. Anyways it had been now five minutes into an awkward silence
"I'm guessing that you all are having a hard time taking this in?" Eileen asked finally breaking the silence as she had taken her mask off a while ago and felt pity in the six ponies along with the new human newcomers and their large animal friend which had referred to himself as a gorilla. They all seem to be in a sort of shocked trance
"I….I guess ya'll could say that." Applejack answered with a worried look on her face "Just kind of hard to think that our home…well that it maybe…you know."
"Gone, correct Applejack? Angela asked as Applejack just nodded slightly. Angela could only give a weak smile back. "I think my friend and I know how you're feeling, if what Mister Leon told us. Then….then out world could be gone or the very least getting close to being taken over."
"Yeah….. I wonder if the others are fighting. Back at our world I mean." Fareeha asked next as she was now hating herself for being stuck here when she should be helping out the others of OverWatch in her world
"Sadly I don't think you will find out soon, remember Leon said that we just have to rely on-" Vladimir began to say but was cut off by Fareeha
"Those four girls, we already know alright!" Fareeha shouted out startling Vladimir and the others around her a little "I…sorry, I'm just a bit tense with all this. I'm just am having a hard time putting my faith in four girls that we don't even know."
"Understandable Fareeha, but I have met them myself. They may be young and naive, but they have what you and your friends have in you. They have thrive and determination to do what is right." Eileen replied as she placed a hand of comfort on Fareeha's right shoulder
Fareeha herself was happy for the kind words and became surprised what this woman named Eileen now reminded her of. She reminded her of her mother Anna who was one of the original members of Overwatch. Now Fareeha and Anna loved each other deeply, though it was easier when Fareeha was younger. When she got older she and her mother became somewhat distant. Anna wanted Fareeha to have a nice, peaceful life, Fareeha though didn't want that but instead a chance to served her country and it's people. They got into fight after fight about Fareeha's future, but in the end Anna one day just disappeared and was pronounce dead a while after. Fareeha by this time had been the military and still wondered to this day if her mother was truly dead or if she was faking her own death. Either way she eventually was given a chance to join Overwatch and she took it, with that choice she picked it has given her many good friends and many great memories so far. Still right now Eileen reminded Fareeha of her possibly dead mother, even if the voice wasn't a match she couldn't help but smile a little.
"Thank you Eileen, I needed that." Fareeha stated as Eileen smiled a little back, Pinkie Pie suddenly popped up in the between them
"Oh I'm so glad we're making friend already!" Pinkie Pie yelled out in pure joy as Winston stared at her with wide eyes
"Wait what, weren't you just with….wait what?" Winston asked wondered how the Pink pony got from her position that was across from where he and his friends were at, to being in between Fareeha and Eileen without even hint that she had moved a muscle
"Trust me Winston it's best not question her like I said before. I know from experience how you're feeling and it cause me a lot of accidental pain for a day or two." Twilight answered with a slight shiver from the memories
"This is…strange." Glynda commented with an amused smirk
"Indeed it is Glynda, indeed it is." Ozpin replied amused as well as he gave a quick kiss on Glynda's cheek
"Aw isn't that just the sweetest!" Rarity asked happily as she giggled like a school girl, this got the other attention towards Ozpin and Glynda
"Great now we're getting stared at." Glynda sarcastically said blushing a little from the stares
"Sorry about that Glynda." Ozpin answered back still amused by his wife's embarrassment, but wanted to lead the somewhat awkward conversation to a different subject which he knew would help ease out the tension "If you don't mind me changing the subject, but maybe we can tell something about each other. I already know that we know each other names, well you know Glynda's and she knows all of yours while I only know Vladimir, Alfred and Eileen's names. But we can try and get to know each other better, we are stuck together. So if that the case wouldn't it be better to know that we can trust each other?"
"That sounds like a good idea um, I'm sorry but I don't know your name." Angela replied back with a sheepish grin
"His name is Ozpin, he's… actually l since you already saw him kissing me along with the fact we have our rings on right without even noticing we still did…well I guess I don't have to lie. He's my husband." Glynda answered as she blushed more from the 'Aw' coming from the ponies excluding Rainbow Dash who just rolled her eyes, Lena and Angela Awed themselves
"Huh no wonder you two seemed close." Alfred stated as Glynda gave him raised eyebrow, this got a smug grin from Alfred "You were pretty obvious, then again I have a good perception for this stuff."
"Right, well how about we let out little pony friends introduce themselves first?" Vladimir suggested as it was okay with the others, with that Twilight decided to go first
"Well I will say again that my name is Twilight Sparkles, I'm the personal student of Princess of Celestia and the element bearer of Magic." Twilight said proudly, but was cut from that proud moment as Rainbow Dash jumped on top of her head
"Rainbow Dash here, the most amazing Pegues you'll probably meet and the element bearer of Loyalty!" Rainbow Dash yelled out with a wide grin "I know, I know I am a sight to behold."
"Smug one ain't she?" Alfred muttered to Solider 76 who he was next to
"Defiantly." Solider 76 answered back with a slight chuckle as they suddenly got a levitated pillow throw in their faces by Rarity who was looking at them with a disapproving glare
"How rude of you two, I know Rainbow Dash can be somewhat prideful. But that doesn't mean you get to talk to behind her back, especially when me and the rest of her friend are present thank you very much." Rarity stated as she looked over to Angela, Lena and Fareeha. "As most of you know I'm Rarity. I'm one of Ponyville's best dress makers and the element bearer of Generosity. Might I say that you three have a very lovely natural beauty? I would absolutely love it if you would let me make dresses for you."
"Aw how kind of you, aren't you just the sweetest little thing!" Lena squealed in delight hugged Rarity as Winston chuckled at that
"I do apologize for Lena, she's always been a sucker for cute things." Winston explained as he noticed Fluttershy keeping low from the others attention. "May I ask what your name is miss animal lover?"
"I'm…I'm….Fluttershy." Fluttershy answered but muttered her name so quietly that no one could make it out
"I think you may need to speak up miss." Ozpin kindly suggested as Fluttershy did a nervous squeal (An extremely cute sounding one at that.)
"Oh sorry bout that, Fluttershy here is a tad but well….shy." Applejack answered as she patted Fluttershy in a friendly manner
"I'm guessing you all bear your so called 'elements' correct?" Fareeha asked as though she wouldn't admit it, she was interested in the six ponies (Mainly because she want one as a little girl and maybe now at her current age still. Though she would never let a living soul learn that.)
"Yes we are chicken wings!" Pinkie Pie answered happily as she appeared next to Fareeha
"Seriously how are you doing that?" Fareeha asked until she realized the nickname she had been given. "Also did you just call me chicken wings?"
"She does that lots Fareeha, trust me she's a little box of craziness." Applejack explained with a small smile "Still Fluttershy is the element of Kindness, I'm the element of Honesty and Pinkie Pie is the element of laughter."
"Still sounds way to girly if you ask me." Solider 76 stated but got a light smack across the head from Glynda
"Quiet you, your comments aren't making our new guests feel any more welcomed. Besides I for one think they titles worth being proud of." Glynda sternly explained as she then gave a kind smirk to the ponies who smirked back
"Alright, jeez what is it with me getting hit today?" Solider 76 asked
"Maybe it's because you keep saying rude comments?" Vladimir answered with a sarcastic tone
"Funny boy, think of that one all on your own?" Solider 76 asked back with slight irritation
"No I didn't and it's Vladimir not boy alright. Eileen said my name when we met the ponies here." Vladimir replied
"Look how about we explained a bit about our worlds to the ponies and then they can explain theirs to us. Sound good?" Glynda suggested as it seemed they all knew each other's names now
"Sure and since our other new guests don't know. We'll explain our world first." Alfred said as he, Eileen and Vladimir began to explain how their world work. Safe to say those who hadn't know which were the members of OverWatch and the Ponies, all became pretty sickened by how detailed they got. Mainly Vladimir and Alfred who decided to explain the whole truth of their world and all it's blood stained sins. Once that explanation was over with, Lena, Fluttershy, Rarity and especially Angela almost threw up from it. The others well they kept in their lunches a little easier, but not by much.
Though once that explanation was over, Lena began explaining about her and her friend's world. She started with it's history, then the others with her took over with a snippets of information here and there. They explained their technology, the Omnic Crisis, the beginning of Overwatch along with it's sad end, the second Omnic crisis still being resolved and lastly Winston firing up the now illegal OverWatch program. To say the least Vladimir, Eileen, Alfred and Ozpin were impressed the most by their world and by their technology. The ponies were themselves very impressed, and even somewhat began admiring them for their heroic acts.
Next Ozpin and Glynda explained their world to the now dubbed 'mane six', since the members of OverWatch knew already along with Eileen, Vladimir and Alfred. They began with Remnant itself, then the Grimm which got the mane six somewhat scared of their world. Though surprisingly they actually seemed to be mad when they began explaining the concept of Hunters and Huntresses, which also gave them an insight of how Fareeha felt somewhat when Vladimir had mentions those four girls. Said four girls the mane six learned were students of Beacon Academy. Which also made Leon's earlier explanation a lot more clear now.
Lastly the mane six described their world, and to the others their world was like a haven. For one they lived in the land of Equestira, along with the fact they had many mythological creatures that lived alongside them with either somewhat hostility or were their allies. All in all Equestira was a peaceful place that had and quoted from Twilight herself 'The magic of Friendship', the most powerful magic and was what the mane six themselves used to power their secret weapon the elements of Harmony. Basically it was six gems that were the in the shape of their cutie marks (AKA the marks on their flanks.), said gems shot a beam of rainbows. In the end out of all the worlds, the mane six world was the most peaceful which only made it sadder that their world was probably taken over by the heartless.
"This has been….informative." Glynda said as she was internally giggling over how wonderful Equestira sounded, apparently the same went for Angela and Lena who had wide smiled on their faces
"Oh I concur Glynda, I wrote it all down myself for once." Twilight replied back proudly as she and a large scroll all with written information on what they had been told so far about the others worlds, even if some of it was less than pleasant
"What do mean this time?" Lena asked as Twilights eyes went wide
"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" Twilight yelled out in shock as she began hyper ventilating which thankfully Angela took immediate action with as she moved over to Twilight and calmly began stroking her mane
"Twilight take a deep breath, follow my lead." Angela kindly ordered as Twilight looked at Angela and followed her lead as they took one breath, the let it out, then another and then let it again. Both did this five more times until Twilight finally was calm. "There feeling better now?"
"Yeah…yeah I am, thank you Angela." Twilight replied back with a warm smile as Angela was glad she could help
"If you don't mind me asking but what was that about?" Winston asked with a concerned tone
"It's okay Winston, I guess I'm just worried about Spike is all." Twilight explained
"Who's Spike?" Eileen asked wanting a bit less of a vague answer
"Oh right, Spike is my assistant, little brother and best dragon buddy." Twilight answered happily. "I'm the one who hatched him out of his egg, though it was to pass an entrance exam I still love him like family."
"Wouldn't that make you his mother then?" Fareeha asked
"Huh I guess so…wait a minute what about Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. They were with us along with Spike when we all got sucked up by that dark portal" Twilight explained as Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity all got wide eyed (Though thankfully didn't freak out like twilight)
"Okay wait, who are these three I'm guessing girls you're talking about?" Solider 76 asked as this conversation was getting confusing
"There our little sisters, well mine's AppleBloom. Scootaloo is Rainbow's little sis and Sweetie Belle's would be Rarity's little sis. I wonder if there alright along with Spike." Applejack explained frowning from the thought of what kind of danger those three fillies and Spike could be in
"I'm sure they are Applejack, we'll find them soon I promise you that." Ozpin replied back as the ponies couldn't help but feel better with that promise. But before anyone could comment Yin and Maria came in, though Mao was with them as well. But he was being held in Yin's arms while Maria held a tray full of small tea cups, one for everyone in the room
"Oh hi, who are three?" Fluttershy asked still with a shy but with a loud enough tone
"I'm Maria, this is Yin and the cat in her arms is Mao. Say hi Mao." Maria answered with her emotionless tones which to the mane six and the members of Overwatch kind of disturbed by her
"You don't need to tell me Maria." Mao replied with a slightly annoyed tone as he looked back at the new comers, only to be swept up by Fluttershy in what he could say was the quickest he had ever seen a creature or even person move
"YOU ARE WAY TO CUTE!" Fluttershy yelled out joyfully as she began snuggling Mao against her
"Can someone please help me?" Mao asked –"Is this going to happen every time I meet new people?"-
"Um Fluttershy I think you may have taken that cat without the young girls consent." Fareeha stated as Mao was silently thanking Fareeha for her quick save. Meanwhile Fluttershy took notice of Yin just staring at her, which got the little Pegasus to quickly return Mao to Yin while feeling guilty about her previous action
"Oh I'm so sorry, like really, really sorry…..um what's your name if you know….don't mind telling is all." Fluttershy said shyly as Yin only lightly patted her on the head
"It's alright little winged pony." Yin replied back "I'm Yin, Maria is the one next to me."
"We can see that, but what are doing here. Though you both were busy?" Alfred asked
"We were busy, we made Tea for you all." Maria answered back as she and Yin who was now holding Mao again knelt down on the ground next to the ponies. "Yin and I made enough for you all, though I guess some of others aren't here now so we have extras."
"Why thank you dear that's so sweet of you both." Rarity happily said but when she looked at Maria she remember something, particularly something that Vladimir had said about her when he began first explain his… horrid world. "Not to be noisy Maria was it, but are you by any chance well um…."
"Not human?" Rainbow Dash stated calmly as she got a sudden light slap on the back of her head by Angela who was giving her a disapproving glare "What it's true?!"
"It does not mean that you should be so rude with your answer." Angela remarked as she kept her disapproving glare which made Rainbow Dash sigh knowing she was right
"I guess your right Angela." Rainbow Dash apologized as she looked back at Maria "Sorry about that, hope I didn't offend you much."
"It's okay, I don't feel much emotions other than love really. Besides…" Maria replied back as she took off her laced glove and revealed her wooden hand to the new comers, which disturbed them even when they had been told of what she was. "I am a plain doll, all wood for the most part."
"But still pretty just to say." Vladimir added in as Maria actually looked a little bashful from the comment, which brought in a somewhat awkward silence once more for a few seconds
"Awkward…" Lena muttered
"Oh yeah it totally is, still what about you Yin. What world do you come from because I don't think you're from any of ours? Well not Equestira of course but still are from-" Pinkie Pie began to say but was cut off by Solider 76
"If you don't mind, please just stop talking so much and take a breather once in a while." Solider 76 asked as Pinkie pie nodded while he removed his hand from her mouth
"Alrighty then 76!" Pinkie Pie replied back a little happily as she began muttered about parties and planning one very soon
"Any ways, Yin what world are you from?" Angela asked as Mao jumped from Yin's arms onto the ground
"I'll answer that, Yin isn't much of a talker." Moa replied back as he began explain his world, but as he did Glynda already had a feeling this was going to be a long road to getting use with one another and she wonder once again how team RWBY was doing…
-Haven City: Hip Hog Heaven Saloon-
"I have a bad feeling about this place." Weiss said with a worried frown as she, the girls, Hei, D-VA or Hana as they learned from Hei, Bastion, Jak and Daxter all stood out of the bar which gave off a sleazy sort of vibe to it. Thankfully Hana and Bastion were quick with the modification to the larger hover craft so that everyone else could fit in, while Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang all had ridden on the Zoomer.
"It doesn't look that bad Weiss." Yang replied back with a slightly doubtful tone
"Yang for real, this place just screams 'You'll easily to get mugged'. Trust me I know what these places look like from the movie sets I've been on." Hana said back as she gave the bar a wary glare
"I don't think movie sets and real life can be compared with each other Hana." Hei remarked as Hana stuck her tongue out at him, making the contractor rolls his eyes "What are you, five years old?"
"I think she has point Hei, I mean movie do get inspired at times from real life places." Ruby answered as Hana could only smile wildly at the support
"Ruby has a point of her own Hei, besides we should be making our way inside now." Blake suggested "Who has the package anyways?"
"I think Bastion does Blake." Jak answered as Bastion waved with his gun arm (Which thankfully was on safety.) and held the packaged echo Ore in his left hand
"Great, come on lets go then!" Ruby joyfully said as she and the others entered into the bar to meet with Krew.
Though once they got in they saw a large dark skinned man in silver amour that had leather coming out from the waist, he had a leather shirt and blue boots that were under the silver armor itself. Said man also wore an open face helmet with his right eye being replaced by a robotic one with red lens. Lastly he wielded a rifled that had a metal head skull plate over the barrel. They all assumed this guy was Krew
"That must be our guy." Blake stated as Daxter jumped off of Jak's shoulder
"Let me handle this, you all get to see my finesse and style first hand." Daxter proudly said as he began walking up to the man
"Whoa wait a minute Daxter." Weiss replied back worried he might say the wrong then, along with her not wanting to see the guy in front of them hurt Daxter if that was the case
"Everything is cool Weiss, nobody panic. Hey big guy." Daxter smoothly remarked as he walked under the man's legs to the other side and saw….well he saw a very large individual who was spotted by the rest of the group. All them suddenly realized tha the this large fellow was Krew
The large man in question was lighted skinned, bald, had one eye blind while his other red eye was still good. He wore a gold rings on his finger along with a neckless, he also wore a green shirt and aqua green pants. Thing was that this man was very, very fat. So fat indeed his legs were just twigs while he was moving around in a hover chair
"Whoa…." Hana muttered in shock and disgust
"Defiantly…." Team RWBY muttered next while Bastion and Hei just kept quiet, Daxter in the meantime got his focus back
"You Krew? Well then we easily avoided the heat and your shipment is in primo condition!" Daxter proudly said as Bastion (hesitantly) moved up to Krew and present the package to him
"That's good ey, because a cargo of rare eco ore is worth more than ten of your lives." Krew stated as he moved past Daxter and Bastion all the way to the others who could smell his horrid stench already. "Mmmm and of course if anything had happen to this ore, I'd be force to collect….ah slowly you can say."
"Creepy very creepy." Weiss muttered as she was already deciding to bash this guy across the head with her Keyblade if he moved up any closer to them. He didn't move closer but stared at Jak and the rest close before hovering around them
"The underground will recruited anyone with a pulse these day don't they?" Krew remarked with a smug grin as the group turned around to face his direction, meanwhile Daxter had hopped back onto Jaks shoulder and Bastion went up to the left of Hana who was next to Jak. Krew eyed the two with a creepy grin now. "What do we have here, two of the Shadows mascots of the month?"
"Vroop?" Bastion asked as Krew poked at his glass eye
"Hey mind not touching out metal friend will ya?" Daxter asked next with a stern tone as Krew turned his attention over to Daxter now
"Ooooo soft, Sig this would go well with my silk suits ey?" Krew said as he rubbed his stubby index finger under Daxter's chin, making Daxter shiver a little. "May I ask if they're for sale, they'd make….nice little pets."
"Sorry but Daxter and Bastion ain't for sale." Hana answered with a stern glare as Krew chuckled
"Ah listen tons of fun, anyone can see that you and I have the real juice in this burg. We're both players looking for a piece of the action right. We can make a deal right?" Daxter stated as the others plus Krew and Sig looked at one another
"Did anyone get what he just asked?" Ruby asked as no one could answer her on that, meanwhile Jak was already getting tired of this
"Look we did you a favor now it's your turn, why is the Baron giving eco to the Metal heads?!" Jak asked
"Seriously Jak you really need to stop doing th-" Blake began to say but was cut off as Krew hovered closely to Jaks faces
"Questions like that could get a person killed ey!" Krew yelled out in slight anger before calming himself down. "Still I may tell you something if I can see your masked friends face first."
"Why is that?" Hei asked as he was already preparing his knife to slit he fat man's throat
"Call it curiosity, not many here wear mask so I just wanted to see is all." Krew explained as Hei crossed his arms
"No." Hei sternly replied back but we elbowed in the arm by Yang as she Ruby, Blake, Weiss and Hana were giving him a raised eyebrow and a look that said 'Come on really?'
"Vroop, boo, beep, boo." Bastion said as Yang patted his shoulder
"Well said buddy. Bastion said that you might as well, It's not like it would affect you in any way." Yang explained kindly as Hei looked around to see that he'd have to if he wanted to avoid being pestered to. With that he removed his mask to show his light olive skin, the rest of his messy black medium length hair, his blue eyes which were devoid of any sort of emotion and his mouth showed no emotion either
"Happy now?" Hei asked with slight annoyance in his tone
"Somewhat, I was hoping that you'd have a disfiguring scar across your face or something. Oh well." Krew replied with a bored expression
"Okay you got a look at Hei's face, now tell us what you know." Hana sternly said
"To be honest I was lying about that, still Sig give "el Captain" and his little friends a bonus." Krew said back as Sig handed Jak and the girl's five guns of sorts. Said guns were short in length, had red glowing outlines around the center of the gun and what could only be the magazine which was circular in shape
"What are these, I mean there guns but what kind?" Weiss asked examining the weapon in her hands
"A shotgun Weiss, though I believe it's a lever load one with a circular clip. I'm also taking a guess that the red glowing parts are where the Echo is stored within the weapon and ammunition itself. Am I right?" Ruby explained in a quick manner
"Huh well that was..." Hana said in utter awe at the girl weapons knowledge
"BEEP, VROOP!" Bastion yelled out capping his hands
"Why thank you, I do have quiet an extensive knowledge when it comes to weaponry. I can even easily guess what a new weapon is just by looking at for a few moments." Ruby replied back proudly
"Wait I thought you didn't like violence Bastion?" Yang asked with a raised eyebrow
"Beep, bop, beep." Bastion answers back
"What did he say Yang?" Hei asked
"He said that just because he's against violence he can't help but admire someone this much with knowledge on a subject, even if it is with guns." Yang explained happily as Bastion gave her a thumbs up
"If we can get back to the task at hand maybe we could-" Krew began to say again but was interrupted as two guards came in with their guns ready
"This bar is under suspicion of illegal activity. Mainly harboring rebels." The lead guard stated
"Oh for the love of…." Krew muttered annoyed at the moment
"Speaking of which, your friend in the trench coat. Have him turn around now." The second guard ordered as everyone looked at Hei who was still turned the other way. Though a second later he turned around but did something that surprised the group
"Oh me, you mean me right?" Hei asked as his tone turned from cold to nervous and his face was one of a man who would scream from a twig hitting against him
"Yes you scrub." The Second guard replied back as he rammed his gun against Hei's stomach making him fall to his knees
"Hei!" The girls yelled out but were stopped as Hei held his hand up an got back up
"No worries girls, I'm fine really." Hei said with a slight stammer in his tone "Look were all just normal folks in a normal bar, my name is Lei Shang Shun and the five girls are my younger sister don't let their appearance fool you were all related. The two men are Jak and Daxter, family friend. Lastly the bot is our personal butler made by my most adorable little sister. She's the one in the one piece blue and white jump suit."
"I see, so you're all new comers, well guess we can let you off for now still..." The lead guard said back as he rammed his rifle down against Hei's head making him grasp his head, but was able to keep his stance while slightly trembling "That's a welcome to Haven city."
"Yeah enjoy your stay." The second guard added in as he and his friend left the bar now laughing on their way out
"Hei are...are you okay?" Jak asked as Hei suddenly halted his trembling, cracked his neck and turned back to the group with his cold expression once more
"I'm fine, now let's back to business alright." Hei replied back in a somewhat kind tone as the girls and Hana looked at him wide eyed
"Wait what...wait a minute what was with that nervous act just then?" Weiss asked wanting answers
"Totally, I mean you were all like I don't know being a scaredy cat!" Ruby asked next trying to figure out how Hei easily did a flip on his emotions and expressions
"For real what are you man?" Yang asked as well now as Hei's sudden change in emotion actually creeped her out a little
"I'd like to know that too." Blake muttered with a slight causation of Hei
"Ditto on that." Hana added in last as she was also becoming pretty cautious around Hei. It didn't help that he suddenly knelt down to their eye level
"I told Jak this when we first met, I'm a contractor and we are good at making deals, being manipulative which thankfully for you all I never take in myself, and also we're very good lairs." Hei explained as the girls along with Hana finally got a really good look into Hei's disturbed eyes
His eyes really were dead looking, they had thought it was just their imaginations but that wasn't the case. No Hei's eyes almost lacked any sort of care, love or life. There was a glimmer of humanity left though, but other than that he just seemed cold inside
"Wait a minute you said contractors are good lairs and manipulator. If that's so then how do we know you're not lying to us now hm?" Ruby asked as she had noticed herself the contradiction with Hei's explanation
"Yeah she's got a point there tall and gloomy." Daxter added in as the girls and Jak nodded in agreement
"Smart, but I'm not lying. What benefit would I gain if I lied to you all? I already told Jak I don't care for tyrants anyways. Also I don't think the baron is a welcoming sort of man to people like me." Hei replied back
"So your selfish is that it?" Weiss asked with slight distain
"No just trying to look out for my wellbeing is all. Enough about me though, I think Krew's been trying to tell us something." Hei answered as all eyes turned back to a very annoyed Krew
"Thank you, now I was going to say is-" Krew began to explain once more but was yet again interrupted as sudden screams of terror erupted from outside alongside sounds of gun fire "Oh what now?"
"Let's go find out." Jak suggested as he and the rest went outside to see heartless attacking Random citizens and guards fighting off the heartless. The heartless consisted of shades, soldiers and wizards. Sadly most of the guard and civilians were converted into shade guards, they all eyed the Hip hop hog bar
"Crap what do we do?" Daxter asked nervously
"We fight that's what." Yang answers as she fired a round from her scattergun at an incoming solider, obliterating it in an instant
"Agreed, look keep the bar safe and I'll see if I can give you some information. Possibly, but not for sure to say." Krew orders as the group (reluctantly) agreed to his terms. With that Krew made his way back in the bar with Sig while the others stood their ground outside. The girls ready with their newly acquired scatter guns and keyblades. Jak and Daxter prepared themselves as Jak loaded up his scattergun. Hei readied his blades, Hana summoned and entered her mech suit while Bastion doubled checked his built in guns.
"Ready?" Ruby asked as the other nodded. "Good, then ATTACK!"
With that the battle began, Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang all began shooting off rounds from their guns at incoming soldiers and shades. Each shot taking out three heartless at a time, the girls also swiped their keyblades when a heartless got way to close. Hei, Hana, Jak and Daxter were taking care of the shade guards charging in from the sides. Hei slashing and zapping the incoming attackers, Hana blasted them with her mechs blasters while Jak was shooting everywhere and Daxter pointing out when for him to dodge. Also Jak was using his gun as a blunt weapon when a shade guard got to close. Lastly Bastion was firing his rifle hand at the wizards with dealt accuracy while only receiving minimum damage in return. Bastion also went into his turret mode once in a while to mow down the hordes of wizards and other heartless near him. The battle waged on but the girls were getting slightly impatient with how slow the process of getting rid of these heartless was going.
"Serisously how long does it take to get rid of these things?!" Ruby yelled out as she fired another round at the a soldier and shade that had lunged at her
"I know what you mean Ruby!" Yang yelled back as she slashed her keyblade in a 360 motion, slashing up three shade guards that decided to charge her
"Well want can we do, it's not like we can ask them to go away?" Weiss yelled out this time as she fires off three 'fire' spells at a few shades
"Why not they seem like a reasonable type?" Blake yelled back this time with joke getting a slight giggle out of Yang who had just helped Bastion with a few Wizards
"Nice one Blakey!" Yang stated as she was proud of her girlfriends little joke
"Aw thank you Yang, I love you!" Blake replied back as she kicked a solider square in the jaw or well helmet
"Can we focus on these damn heartless ladies?" Hei sternly asked as he warped how the cable in his knife around a shade guard, then used his contractor ability to shock the abomination to death
"Lay off Hei I thinks it's cute how they are. Also..." Hana said back as she turned to a horde of shades and easily shot them to oblivion "Is this easy mode?"
"Beep, vroop!" Bastion answered as he fired a few well placed rounds from his rifle hand into the head of two shade guards and one wizard
"Thank Bastion." Hana replied happily as she used her thrusters to ram through a small group of soldiers that had surrounded the girls "Your welcome ladies!"
"Thanks Hana!" Team RWBY yelled back amused by the girl's happy attitude even during battle
"Still I wish there was a way we could get rid of these heartless quicker." Ruby stated as Weiss, Blake and Yang could only nod in agreement. Though a second later the girls suddenly were enveloped in a bright glow halting the battle. Once the light died down the girls only had their keyblades, while there scatter guns disappeared
"Wait what happened?" Ruby asked as she and the girls quickly looked at their keyblade which began to transformers a second later. Once the quick transformation was done the girls were holding in their hands very four unique guns
Ruby's keyblade had turned into a bolt-action sniper rifle with a red barrel, black polymer stock, a black silvered lined compressor at the end of the barrel and lastly a black scope while a red rose emblem was painted on the right side (Basically a scoped Winchester Model 70)
Weiss keyblade turned into an old styled revolver. The body was Snow White with elegant ice blue engravings around and an ice blue handle. An ice blue snowflake emblem was painted on the right side of the guns body (A Ruger Vaquero Single action revolver basically)
Blake's keyblade transformed into a pistol with a black body, purple slide and a purple clip along with a black flower printed in the center of the purple slide (A M1911 pistol pretty much)
Lastly Yang's keyblade transformed into shotgun with a yellow barrel, brown wooden stock, orange metal vented plating above the barrel of the shotgun and a brown pump action grip. A yellow flame symbol was painted on the right side of the wooden stock (It's a Winchester model 1897 shotgun or A.K.A a trench gun)
"Um..." Ruby said with a wide eyed look as she and the girls inspected their weapons. But the voice from the dream whispered to them once again
"Keyblade gun modes acquired, use them with your magic..." The voice whispered as the girls grew wide smirks
"Well if that's the case then... FIRE!" Ruby said proudly as she quickly aimed the gun at a group of shades through the guns scope. With that a bullet of fire shot out and exploded on impact with the shades. Weiss, Blake and Yang did the same as they used fire magic for the ammo. Second later fire shot out of their guns with the same result which dwindled the heartless quickly. With the heartless slink away from the bars area knowing that this building was a hazard for them at the moment
"We did it yay!" Ruby yelled out in Victorious joy
"Indeed Ruby and I must say the new gun mods for our keyblades will help us dearly." Weiss said happily as their keyblades reverted back to their original forms
"So... what now?" Yang asked as Hana, Hei, Bastion, Jak and Daxter made their way up to them
"Now you all get to do a few chores for me. I'm too annoyed to say more so Sig here will speak for me." Krew answered as he had poked his head through the door way of the bar then left back inside. Meanwhile Sig made his way up to the others
"Sorry about that, but trust me you don't want to be around him when he's annoyed." Sig said with a small smirk "He... He fart's a lot."
"Thanks for the warning big guy." Hana replied with a giggle
"No problem miss, still Krew's got a two missions for you. First one involves Jak, his weasel, the little girl with the mech suit, trench coat and the bot all going to the water plant with me. We're going hunting for some big metal heads." Sig explained as Jak, Daxter, Hei, Hana and Bastion understood what their mission was
"So that means my friends and I are doing a mission ourselves, correct Sig?" Blake asked as Sig nodded
"Got that right, you four will be going down to the sewers and taking care of a few turrets that the baron placed down there a while ago." Sig explained once more as the girls all understood what they had to do (Even if it meant going down into a dirty old sewer, much to their disgust)
"Sounds good to us, the rest of you just stay safe okay." Weiss said worried for the others safety
"Hey don't worry Weiss, they got the Daxter with them." Daxter replied back flexing his twig arms a little
"Well I guess we can't worry then." Weiss said back giggling with team RWBY as Sig and the others took the larger hover craft and the Zoomer leaving the girls to walk to their destination
"Alright ladies lets go and try not to get too distracted by the Heartless in the other parts of this area." Ruby stated as they began making their way to the sewers from what they remembered of the location when they had passed by on the way to Krew's place earlier. The girls just hoped this would go easier than the last mission
-With Pyrrha, Ren and Nora-
"Your world seems horrid Gehrman, I mean very horrid." Pyrrha said with a slightly nausea feeling in her stomach
"Yeah got to say not the nicest history you told us." Ren added in next with as slight frown
"I need something to get my mind off this…' Nora remarked with a slight shiver up her spin
"It is indeed, but you asked me and I explained it. I wasn't going to hold back on the details. Though I should have warned you about the story itself, then again you tend to forget somethings when you get to be my age." Gehrman replied back with a slightly amused grin
"Hey were not children you know?" Pyrrha stated with a raised eyebrow and crossed her arms, getting a slight chuckle from Gehrman
"What's so funny?" Nora asked with a pouty face as Ren patted her right shoulder
"Nora remember to look sterner when you ask someone with a serious question." Ren stated
"Oh right!" Nora replied back as she changed her face more to a serious face "Now tell us mister."
"Alright enough with the faces. It's just to me most seem like children along with even some of the adults close to my age. You and your friend's maybe hunters and huntress to say, but when it comes to experience well that's where you fall short. No offense once more." Gehrman explained
"He does make a good point I mean he's probably killed more monsters than we ever will in Vale." Ren stated as Pyrrha and Nora looked at one another with slight frowns
"I guess you're right, but then again I don't think I'd care to kill that much. What most important to me now is your two, Jaune, Team RWBY and well…. my child." Pyrrha said with a small smile as she touched her stomach
"Ah yes, that's right your pregnant. Do you know if it's a boy or girl yet?" Gehrman asked with slight curiosity
"In all honesty no but either way I'll love him or her with all my heart…. I just hope Jaune comes back to his senses. I don't want to have to raise my child without a father to be there as well." Pyrrha answered as she began feeling like she was going to tear up, Ren and Nora could only pat her on the back
"Do not worry Pyrrha it will be alright." Gehrman said with kind tone
"B-but how do you k-know." Pyrrha asked as her voice began to tremble a little
"Because all men and women go through their dark times, some come out of it while others do not. From what you've told me of this Jaune so far he seems like a kind soul, I myself have seen many fall into darkness and none sound like how you friend Jaune is. So I do promise that he will come back to you Pyrrha, I am a man who is good on his word." Gehrman explained kindly
"Indeed he is, I have to agree that Jaune will come back to his old self." Virgil added in as he appeared behind Gehrman
"Oh Virgil what's up buddy!" Nora happily asked as Virgil chuckled
"Its nice to see you three as well, I just came back from a few worlds I've been studying. Some of them are….. Interesting to say the least." Virgil replied back as he looked actually kind of tired
"Are you feeling alright?" Pyrrha asked concern for one of her recently made friends
"Yes I will be find though I have a feeling that team RWBY won't be staying much longer on their current location along with any other non-native." Virgil explained much to Pyrrha's, Ren's and Nora's confusion
"What do mean Virgil?" Ren asked
"I mean something about the worlds that have no keyholes seem to give the keyblade wielders along with any other non-natives a limited time on the planet, though this excluded the heartless as they seem to have an anchor that keeps them from being kicked off world. From what I theorized team RWBY and whoever else is with them will be able to return to the planet a while after, it's what's it called again a….a cool down I believe you say." Virgil explained as the explanation was informative but also brought up more questions
"Okay so….what reason does the world have to kick team RWBY off. I mean what I'm trying to ask is why would a world kick off keyblade wilders, the ones that are trying to save it off. It makes no sense." Pyrrha asked as it was very confusing to her
"In all honestly that's something Virgil or even I can't answer maybe. The only explanation I can come up right now is because that even though the keyblade wielders are the protectors of the worlds. They're not meant to be there, in fact now that I think about it all these worlds aren't meant to meet each other. It could create havoc when you think about it." Gehrman explained
"So in a sense that fact that the worlds are meeting with each other along with its native residents was never supposed to happen. But the fact that this has been probably going on longer than any of us can imagine, the keyblades were created by whoever to make sure that the world order stays intact as so the natural balance doesn't break creating only chaos, death, anarchy and in the end finally the destruction of the spiritual heart that gives purity so that the darkness will not grow. Without that most everyone right now would be nothing more than a husk of pure primal needs to feast and devour to live." Nora explained in her own way with a slightly dark tone as the other just looked at her wide eyed from hearing such an explanation from a bubbly girl like Nora
"Um…." Ren said as he was dazed by his friend's explanation
"What just because I'm bubbly doesn't mean I can't have a fascination with dark theme ideology that stems from the evil desires that come from humans?" Nora explained with a wide smile
"I….you know what never mind." Pyrrha replied back as she looked back at Gehrman and Virgil. "Basically from what I'm understanding, Team RWBY and any other non-natives are given a time limit because they aren't even supposed to be there in the first place, but the Heartless can because they have a sort of anchor that prevents them from being kicked out. Am I correct at this assumption?"
"Correct." Gehrman and Virgil answered back as it made sense mostly
"I'm just curious but how much time do the girls have left anyways?" Ren asked as Gehrman and Virgil looked at each other with slight frowns
"To be perfectly honest….not much time left." Virgil answered as Pyrrha, Ren and Nora frown at that and with that they decided that maybe they should just get some rest for a while
-Water Plant entrance-
"So we all ready to go, because I am." Hana asked somewhat excited as she waited in her mech suit
"Beep, boo!" Bastion replied happily as Hana smiled already knowing what he said
"Thank buddy." Hana answered back as Jak and Daxter caught up with them
"Sorry were late." Jak said with a sheepish grin
"Yeah sorry." Daxter added in
"No problem boys, but why did you go inside that creepy old hut you saw?" Hana answered back as she, Bastion and even Hei were curious about that
"Well ah…" Daxter began to say but stopped
"We'll tell you later alright." Jak answered with a small smirk
"Look can we just get this done already?" Hei asked with an impatient tone
"Sure can do Hei, come on boys lets roll!" Hana remarked as she entered through the water plants entrance, followed by Hei, Bastion then lastly Jak and Daxter
"Who made her the leader here huh?" Daxter asked as Jak rolled his eyes. Once he and the others were back inside they saw sig waiting for them as he finished killing a few metals heads that had charged at him without firing his strange gun .Once he was finished with that he turned around to see the others
"Ah there you are, been waiting for you for a while now. So you all ready to get down to business." Sig said as he cracked his neck
"Duh, why else do you think we're here?" Daxter asked sarcastically. "Um just to ask though, but what are we doing exactly anyways?"
"Yeah we didn't really get much of an explanation other than were hunting metal heads." Jak said slightly peeved by that fact
"Right, well we are hunting metals heads for Krew since he wants their heads as trophy's to hang on the bars walls. Just to warn you all though, there's four of them and they're big. Though that's not what you should be mainly worried about, what you all should be worried about are there little body guards they've seemed to have assembled to themselves keep safe. Any ways lets get a move on." Sig explained with small a smirk, with that they made their way over to the object that was in the others way before when they were here to turn back on the water pipes
"Okay so just want to be clear, but what are we doing here now. Thought you said we were going to be hunting metal heads. Was looking for a fight ya see." Hana asked with an amused smirk as Sig rolled his eyes a little
"I'm shooting this hunk of metal down with my little buddy the peace maker here so we can have a quicker entrance, I just need you all to keep a watch on me. Got a feeling the big boys are going to have their little cronies try to attack me." Sig explained as he got into positions and began charging up his gun
"Right, people defense positions!" Daxter yelled out as Jak pulled to the left and pulled his scatter gun out, Daxter himself went into a sort of not well positioned karate stance. Hana went to the right of Sig with a wide smirk as she readied her suits blasters, Bastion transformer into his sentry mod next to Hana, lastly Hei readied his blades next to Jak and Daxter
"Alright people get ready for anything." Sig sternly stated as his peacemaker was forming up an electric ball which he aimed towards the large construct. They waited and waited as seconds went by with nothing coming out for an attack. Sig then shot off his peacemaker, destroying the construct full and almost hitting Daxter off Jaks shoulder
"Hey watch it!" Daxter yelled out as he sighed in relief
"We go through right, so let's g-" Sig replied back with an amused grin as he turned around to noticed that the metal heads he was expecting to be behind the construct were gone, along with the first big metal head he was supposed to shoot down
"Something wrong Sig?" Hei asked as he could tell the man was surprised
"Yeah, the metals heads aren't here including the one Krew wants me to shoot down." Sig replied back
"Bee, boop, vroop…" Bastion said with a slightly nervous tone
"Totally buddy, I got a bad feeling about this. A real bad feeling… then again that could be the noodles I ate coming back up." Hana said next as she looked a little green in the face "I knew I should have gone for the small cup…"
"Hey if you're going to throw up do it in the metals heads. Still I'm curious Hana, but are you able to understand Bastion like Ruby and Yang. I kind of noticed it a while ago." Jak replied back
"Yeah I can, then again I think I've always been able to since we first met….ugh I really think those noodles didn't agree with me." Hana answered back as she held her stomach for a few seconds
"Stop complaining we need to get moving. The quicker we get this done the quicker we can get out of this waste hole." Hei suggested sternly as the others nodded in agreement
"Hate to say it but he does have a point." Daxter remarked as Hei glared at him while gripping his knife tighter
"Back off of Daxter." Jak stated with a glare of his own
"Or what Jak?" Hei asked in a tone that sounded somewhat mocking as he and Jak butted foreheads together until Sig intervened
"Alright enough, go kill each other after were done here!" Sig yelled out in annoyance as he took a quick breather "Lets get a move on, I'm guessing this hunting trip just became a lot more complicated."
With that the group began making their way through the water way along with the same results. No metals heads appeared anywhere along with the designated targets. The only thing they heard were the sounds of silence. While the group ventured furtherer into the water plant, none of them could get the feeling off that they were being watched along with the fact the temper had actual dropped a little. Minutes later they all arrived in the center of the water plant which consisted of a few small beached island, a few tropical trees, a large cliff side and lastly the water flowed in between the small land masses. The group stopped on the center land mass and looked around to see finally the targets who for some reason all piled together
"Alright we found them, now we just got to take them out and we can get out of here." Jak stated proudly
"Okay but what about the-" Hei asked but as soon as he did a horde on metal heads appeared. All looking at the group with the intent to kill them
"You had to ask didn't you Hei?" Daxter asked as Hei just sighed in annoyance
"No time for jokes, I can take the targets all out at once but I'll need to charge my gun up longer. Just hold them off and keep them away from me got it." Sig ordered
"Well then tonight we dine in hell!" Hana yelled out proudly
"What are talking about Hana?" Jak asked as Hana giggled
"Never mind, I've just always wanted to say that." Hana answered as she got serious once more "Now lets give em a show boys!"
With that Hana, Hei, Bastion, Jak and Daxter charged into battle with the metals heads while doing what they could to keep Sig safe. Though they wondered how Team RWBY was doing at the moment…
-The Sewers-
"Weiss come on we need to get going!" Blake yelled out in slight annoyance as she and Yang were trying their best to pull Weiss from a metal pillar which Weiss was hugging tightly
"No I refuse to go into a disgusting sewer now, I've changed my mind and there is no way you're getting me to budge!" Weiss yelled back as her stubbornness was coming in handy right now for her
"Like it or not we have to go Weiss!" Blake yelled back as she turned her head back to Yang "Sweetie can you try and pull harder, you're the muscle of the group."
"I'm trying kitten, really I am but Weiss is abnormally strong right now." Yang replied as Blake lost her grip on Weiss left arm and fell down into Yang's lap
"Ugh my back." Blake said as she then noticed she was in Yang's lap "Well at least I fell into your lap Yang."
"Funny Blake I was just about to say the same thing." Yang replied back with peck on Blake's lips, then they along with Weiss noticed Ruby with an cookie in her hand coming back up to them
"Hey girls what's….what's going on?" Ruby asked as she took a bite of her cookie
"Well Ruby Weiss is giving us a hard time you see." Yang answered back as Weiss glared at her then turned her attention to Ruby
"Because I refuse to go into a germ infested place like the sewers, sure everything else up to now has been okay with me but this is where I draw the line." Weiss explained with a huff
"You have any idea how to get her to come with us. I mean she is your partner. Also what's with the cookie?" Blake asked as Ruby took a another bite from her cookie, then smiled
"Oh there was a nice lady who gave them for free and thankfully no heartless are around this part of the area so I just deiced to take a cookie for the road. But to answer your other question well….I have an idea." Ruby replied back finishing her cookie as she then made her way next to Weiss with a smirk
"What are thinking Ruby?" Weiss asked as Ruby in shocking speeds took off her wedge boot and sock, holding her right foot in her right hand was she held up her left hand. Weiss went wide eyed knowing what she was thinking "Ruby Rose don't you dare do what I think you're going to do!"
"To late Weiss, tickle attack!" Ruby yelled out as she began tickling Weiss foot….it worked very quickly
"RU-RU-RUBY STOP THAT T-T-TICKLES!" Weiss screamed out as she began laughing loudly along with a few snorts
"Oh my god that way too cute Weiss." Ruby said joyfully with a slight blush as Weiss let go of the pillar and fell against Ruby. Both girls fell on the ground in a somewhat suggestive position with Ruby on the ground and Weiss on all fours above Ruby
"So….um….hi." Weiss shyly said as her heart began to thump faster
"Yeah…hi. Sorry for you know…tickling you." Ruby replied back with a small smile as her heart began to race as well. It would have been quiet a moment if Yang didn't interrupt
"Just kiss already!" Yang stated with a wide smirk making both Weiss and Ruby get back up on their feet with redden faces
"Yang that was rude you know?" Blake said with a raised eyebrow
"I know but still these two really need to get their act together." Yang answered as Blake could only rolled her eyes and giggle
"I guess so Yang." Blake said back as she kissed Yang's cheek, then looked back at Ruby and Weiss who was finishing up putting her boot back on "You two ready to go, we need to get rid of those turrets for Krew."
"Yeah we are…still don't like doing stuff for that creep though." Ruby replied back with a slight scowl
"We feel the same little sis, but it ain't like we got much of a choice to be honest." Yang said back scowling along with her sister. She and the others then made their way in through the door to the sewers, once there they ended up going down an elevator which led them finally to the start of the mission. Though the girls felt already uneasy about the area
"So anyone else feel weird about his place or is it just me?" Ruby asked with a slight shiver down her spin
"Same…" Weiss and Yang replied back as they readied their keyblades along with Ruby and Blake who did the same
"We might need some back up, four of us can do some damage but it's never bad to have extra guns to say." Weiss suggested
"You're right on that Weiss and I think I have just the person to help." Blake said back as she pulled out her summon stone, seconds later the room was engulfed in light then died out showing Motoko looking the Blake with a small smile
"Took you long enough to summon me. Guessing you need help right?" Motoko asked still smirking
"You bet ya, quick explanation but me and the girls here have to take care of four sentries. But there are probably metal heads and heartless down here so we need back up." Blake explained as Motoko smirk grew a little wider
"Well if that's the case you called the right woman for the job, now how about we get to it." Motoko suggested as the girls nodded in agreement
Once the group began their mission, the girls began making their way through the tunnel system it turned out that the place was a lot darker than was first believed. With that knowledge Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang and Motoko decided to go with the slow and stealthy approach (Much to Yang slight displeasure). As they continued to crawl throughout the sewers Ruby thankfully accidently stepped on a large button on the floors along the way lighting up the room ahead, though that also caught the attention of a group of five metal heads. The fight went by quick as the girls used their keyblades in a quick motion to take out three of them while Motoko killed the last two metals heads with one shot to the first metal heads eye as the second metal died as it tried to charge Motoko, but was caught in a head lock and had it's neck broken seconds later. With that the quick battle was gone.
After that they made way further into the sewers and found the first turret hidden in a long tunnel. The turret immediately began shooting at them, but thankfully it was taken out quickly as Motoko devised a quick plan for the girls to follow. The plan was for Ruby and Weiss to get on one side of the tunnel entrance while Blake and Yang stayed on the side they already were at, the part of the plan went well as the girls got to their positions and began firing off 'Blizzard' spells rapidly which though didn't harm the turret much did get its attention towards them. Meanwhile Motoko part in her plan went over well also, she decided not to use her stealth system or advance stealth system. But instead as the girl's fired their magic spells Motoko quickly dashed up the turret, jumped onto it and fire her whole clip. Seconds later she jumped back off as the Turret exploded, once that was over the whole group began making their way further in taking out metal heads and a few shades here and there, climbing up a few elevated ledges and taking out the next three turrets with the same strategy. It was to team RWBY and Motoko a little too easy and as they made their way the last part of the area before drooping back down to the start of the area. But all of a sudden the girls heard whispers
"Hello...?" Whispered a young girls voice
"What was that?" Weiss asked as she, Ruby, Blake and Yang turned around to see who was there
"I don't know, but where did that come from?" Ruby replied back with a concern look on her face
"What are you girls talking about?" Motoko asked with a raised eyebrow
"We heard someone say hello just now." Yang answered as she looked around as well
"Didn't you hear it too Motoko?" Blake asked as Motoko nodded no "Huh, well then where could that voice be coming from then?"
"Where am I…?" Another whisper asked but this time it was boys along with sounding somewhat robotic
"Okay for real where is that coming from?" Weiss asked somewhat irritated by this now
"Maybe it's coming from the well…um…I don't know." Ruby replied back as she readied her keyblade
"Grrr….grrr…." The third voice whispered in a male tone expect it sounded deep, primal and in pain. This growl was accompanied by one last whisper expect it wasn't really a whisper but two quick heart thumps
"Alright that's it where is that coming from?!" Yang yelled out in utter annoyance as the others just nodded with her in agreement, though Motoko looked at them with a still raised eyebrow
"Are you girls pulling a fast one on me?" Motoko asked slightly unamused
"No we aren't we….." Ruby began to answer back but stopped as she along with Weiss, Blake and Yang looked to see that a slight bright trial of golden light lead straight through a wall to the right of them "Never mind, I think we just got our answer. Ladies?"
"Right." Weiss, Blake and Yang replied back as they began making their way over to the wall that the golden trail lead them to
"Hey wait a minute!" Motoko yelled out but fell on deaf ears as the girls were now at the wall examining it, she just sighed and made her way over the girls though muttered to herself. "Never mind…"
"Alright I think there some sort of large room behind this wall." Ruby said as she and the rest were looking for some sort of hidden trigger
"Okay but where is it Ruby, I can't seem to find it anywhere. Weiss, Yang how about you two?" Blake replied back
"No sorry I can't see anything either." Weiss answered with a slight frown
"Yeah same, I think this wall has got to be pushed and I'm a strong girl but not that strong." Yang answered next
"Well could we all try and push it?" Ruby asked
"No I don't think we can Ruby, this wall is probably reinforced so that it will take a tremendous amount of strength to even make this thing budge and like Yang said she strong but not that strong and we aren't either." Weiss explained as Motoko suddenly walked past her and the others
"So you need some muscle well…" Motoko stated as she cracked her neck, then swung her fist straight into the wall breaking it into a large sized hole. "Does this work?"
"Ah…..yeah, yeah it does." Yang answered as she, Ruby, Weiss and Blake looked at her wide eyed
"Question is how in the world did you do that?" Blake asked as Motoko was rubbing her fist a little
"Oh well to be honest this body of mine is a full-body prosthetic one." Motoko explained as she scowled a little from her hand "Damn also pulled something, lucky that the wall was already weakened a little."
"Wait what in the world do you mean by full-body prosthetic?" Weiss asked as the phrase sounded strange
"Oh right, short version my current body is actually a fully made robotic one. I guess in a sense you can me an android, though the only thing that really is organic left is my brain." Motoko explained calmly, the girls were even more shocked by that
"Whoa hold on a minuet there your saying that you're an android?" Yang asked
"Basically yeah, why do you so surprised by that?" Motoko asked a little confused
"Because you're an android and were human, we don t even have that sort of stuff where were from expect in fiction!"" Ruby explained franticly as Motoko face palmed herself
"Oh right I almost forgot that for second, this whole multiple worlds thing is still taking me a while to get used to. Sorry about that ladies." Motoko stated with a small grin
"It's alright, but we should head further in…but we also should be on guard just in case." Blake suggested as the girls along with Motoko nodded in agreement
As the group continued down the now revealed hidden area they took noticed that there we many skulls place upon one another, there also hooks, rusted knifes and skulls placed upon old wooden poles. As they went further in the girls all felt the pure darkness in the area.
"Why is this place so….so creepy?" Ruby asked slightly nervous
"I have to agree with you Ruby this place is unsettling." Weiss replied back as she grabbed onto Ruby's left arm
"Weiss what are doing?" Ruby asked feeling better all of the sudden with a small smile
"I just want to hang onto someone is all…you know just so neither one of us gets to scared." Weiss answered back with a shy smirk as Ruby just giggled a little letting Weiss keep a hold onto her arm, meanwhile Yang, Blake and Motoko who were in front of them were not as nervous but wary
"Seems like they can get cozy easily, I kind of envy them." Motoko stated amused by Ruby and Weiss
"Yeah but that's a good thing at times, I'm more focused on why all these skulls are here." Yang replied back slightly nervous
"Its defiantly a sacrificial area, question if for what." Blake said as her spin felt a cold tingle all of sudden
"Hopefully we'll never….." Motoko began to answered but stopped as she and the girls all halted to see in front of them a single living man kneeling on the ground and surrounded by a natural light from what they could guess was coming from a man hole above him
Said man was thin, tanned, had long messy grey hair along with a long beard, had one of his long elf ears cut in half, he wore ragged shorts, no shoes and only two leather straps crisscrossed with each other around his chest. He also seemed to have four summon gems tied to his right arm. At the moment he was looking at the ground muttering to himself, the group could already sense something was up this guy. So Ruby decided to play the peace maker at the moment as she wanted to avoid a fight and see if they could get those summon gems.
"Um hello?" Ruby asked as the man kept muttering to himself like she wasn't there, so Ruby tried again "Look we just found this place, are…are you lost sir?"
"Ruby I don't think this guy is listening." Yang stated as the man still didn't respond but began muttering a little louder
"Yeah, maybe we should back up." Weiss suggested as she was mostly worried about Ruby safely since she was the closest to the muttering man
"Agreed and I think we should do it now." Motoko added in as she already had her pistol out and ready. This guy gave her an extremely bad feeling but she didn't want to shoot if she didn't have to
"True but then again maybe this place has something to do with the heartless?" Blake replied back trying to fine the silver lining her….this got the attention of the man
"The heartless!" The man shouted out as he stood up making Ruby back up to the others. They took noticed that the man had green eyes, was about average in height and was so thin that he looked more like a Skelton wrapped in skin than a person. "What do you know of the heartless?"
"Well we, we guess anything. Wait so you're an expert on heartless?" Yang replied back as she was ready to blast the dude with a fire ball while it seem the others had the same idea and Motoko had her gun pointed at the man
"Oh yes, yes, yes I do. I know much about them so much about them…" The man answered back with a creepy chuckle
"Ladies I really think we get out now." Motoko suggested once more with a more stern tone as team RWBY agreed with her
"Yeah I think we will…"Weiss answered back as the she, Ruby, Blake, Yang and Motoko began moving back slowly knowing they'd have to find another way to get the summon gems, but they stopped as a metal spiked gate fell down behind them. Leaving them stuck with the man now
"Are you five….going somewhere?" The man asked as he kept his back turned against them
"Well ah we just remember we have some other business to do and we need to get going so if you would please let us out." Ruby kindly replied back as the man just laughing a little
"Okay for real dude you can't keep us in here!" Yang yelled out already annoyed but the man
"Oh but I do, you see I already could tell who you four young ladies are. Oh I know your keyblade wielders and if that's the case well…" The man explained as he turned back around with a wide grin and wielding in his hand a metal saw tooth broadsword "As one of the senior sacrificial leader of the Black heart cult, I BROTHER GRAND HAVE A DUTY TO KILL YOU SO OUR GLORIOUS MASTERS PLANS WILL NOT BE STOPPED!"
"Oh great, just great now we got this guy to deal with!" Weiss stated in annoyance as she, Ruby, Blake and Yang got their keyblades ready as well. Motoko made sure she extra clips
"NOW THEN KEYBLADE WEILDERS DIE WITH HONOR!" Brother Grand screamed out as he charged the girls who thankfully dodged to the sides
"Alright ladies let's take this guy down!" Ruby stated as she and the other began their battle
As the battle commenced Motoko was staying at the side lines and using her advance stealth mod to do quick shots at Brother Grand who apparently didn't even flinch as the bullets went into him but she kept at it. Meanwhile Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang were slashing at Brother Grand who simply dodged the attacks, then as the girls all slashed down at one Brother Grand blocked the attacks and pushed them back. The girls though fire of a barrage of blizzard attacks which forced Brother Grand into a defensive position, as this happen Motoko slowly came up from behind Brother Grand with a knife. But before Motoko could commence the sneak attack, Brother Grand quickly turned around grabbing Motoko by the left arm while she was still cloaked and threw her hard against the girls sending them all to the ground
"You done yet little girls?" Brother Grand asked with a small smirk as the group got back up on their feet
"No were just starting freaky!" Weiss snapped back as they all got into a fighting stance one more, though Motoko knelt down on her knee in slight pain as she grabbed her left arm tightly
"Motoko what wrong?" Blake asked in a panic as she looked to see her summons arm sizzling a little with a purple smoke
"I don't know, but I shouldn't be even able to feel pain at all." Motoko answered as she glared at Brother Grand "Damnit what did you do to me!"
"Ah yes, an applied a magical poison coating to my hand, it doesn't affect me since I'm use to the pain. But you on the other hand it will most certainly. Even if your arm is a fake the magic will make sure you feel the pain anyways. Still it will wear off sooner or later." Brother Grand explained with a smug grin
"If that's the case I'll send you back into the gem so you can heal alright." Blake said as she pulled the gem out of her pocket
"No, I can't leave you girls here alone with this mad man." Motoko said back as she winced a little more from the pain in her arm
"It's alright we can handle him and hey once we get back to traverse town I'll let you out of the gem for a while to relax and such okay." Blake answered with a reassuring smile
"Okay then, but before you do here take these." Motoko replied back as she held up the four summon gems that had been tied around Brother Grands right arm
"What but how did you take them?" Brother Grand asked in slight anger as Motoko smirked
"I'm just that talented." Motoko explained as the summons gems suddenly flew into the girl's hands
"Sweet!" Yang stated as she, Ruby, Weiss and Blake placed their new gems in their pockets
"Definitely, thank you Motoko. But as of now get some rest friend." Blake said kindly as she used the gem which glowed brightly and once it died down Motoko was gone from sight. With that Blake and the girls turned their attention back to Brother Grand who was smirking at them evilly
"You shouldn't make promise you can't keep young one, but I'm too bored right now with our current fight… I think I need to make this more interesting for your soon to be deaths by my hands." Brother Grand stated as he pulled out a small dagger in his left hand
"Oh so scary, a dagger. How is that going to-" Ruby said in a sarcastic tone but was cut off as Brother Grand slit his own throat making a river of fresh blood squirt out
"Holy crap!" Yang yelled out in disgust as Blake gulped in shock, Weiss shivered from the sight and Ruby almost threw up
"What in the world did you do that for you sicko?!" Blake yelled out as Brother Grand only began laughing making more blood squirt out of his throat
"YOU'LL SEE, NOW MY MASTERS OF DARKNESS PLEASE BLESS ME WITH YOUR POWER!" Brother Grand answered as he stabbed the dagger into his heart and with that his spiritual heart appeared before him. Before the girls could do anything the room they were in turned a circular battle ground of pure darkness and was surrounded by purple storm clouds
"What is happening?" Ruby asked in shock as she and the girls got their answer
As they looked at Brother Grand they saw much to their disgust the heartless devouring his spiritual heart. Once they were done then they began crawling into his slit throat, a second later Brother Grand's body began convulsing as his skin turned pitch black, his eyes became large yellow orbs while his mouth turned in a wide yellow grin like a jack-o-lanterns and two antennas grew out of his head. His clothing was the same but turned yellow like his eyes while his feet and hands turned into claw like appendages. Lastly his sword and dagger became spiked with dark energy flowing from both. When the process was done Brother Grand stood back up and stared at the girls
"NOW THIS IS MORE LIKE IT, YOU SHALL FEEL THE POWER OF DARKNESS KEYBLADE WEILDERS!"Brother Grand yelled out in a joyful tone as he wield both his blades in each of his hands
"Oh boy…" Ruby said slightly shaken by the sight as the voice whispered to them his new name "Lord Grand…."
"Well if this guy wants a fight let's give it to him." Yang sternly stated as she got into a fighting stance
"Right!" Blake and Weiss said next as they did the same, Ruby smiled at her teams bravery as she got in her stance a well now
"ATTACK!" Ruby yelled out as she and the girls charged while Lord Reaver charged back at them and as they got closer and closer the girls wonder for a second how their friends were doing with Sig
-Back at the water plant-
"D-VA IS SUPREME DESTROYER OF METAL HEADS! Hana screamed out in a somewhat psychotic tone as she was blasting incoming metals from every corner, none of them got even near Sig at the moment as his gun charged was getting closer to being done. Though earlier he did have to restart two times from being attacked by a metal head that passed slipped through
"Okay I think she's having too much fun with this." Daxter stated with a wide eyed looked before noticing a metal head coming in from behind Jak "Jak behind you!"
"Got it Daxter." Jak replied back as he spinned kicked the metal head back, killing it quickly "Thanks buddy, don't know what I'd do without you."
"You'd probably be dead by now Jak." Daxter joked as a metal head had somehow gotten onto one of the palm trees, it leaped down and almost landed into of the duo. But it Hei was able to impaled his knife into the creatures side with it's extended cable attachment, he then pulled the metal head down while Bastion to his right shot it right in the face killing the creature
"Keep an eye above you." Hei simply said as he began slashing his knifes at the other metal heads around him while Bastion transformed into his mini-gun mode mowing down every metal head in his sight with ease
"Got it, Sig how's the charge going?" Jak said as he shoot a few rounds from his scatter gun in two metal heads lunging at him
"Pretty good kid, just a little longer and we'll be collecting metal heads trophies!" Sig answered back as Hana rammed into a slightly larger metal head that was inches away from slashing Sigs back "Um thanks miss."
"It's Hana or D-VA dude, quiet calling me miss. It's making me feel old already." Hana replied back as a she looked over to see Bastion next to her, with that she suddenly got an idea. "Bastion buddy, I think our little plan is go for a go."
"Bee, boop, vroop, beep!" Bastions happily replied as the back of Hana's mech opened up revealing a connector hatch in which Bastion placed himself over. Then wires entered into Bastions body as he transformed into his turret mode while Hana's mech turned it's color to Bastions colors. Once that process was over Bastions head reformed into Hana's cock pit "Vroop, bop, vroo!"
"Nice to see you to buddy, I am so glad we got this protocol done before ending up in this world." Hana answered back happily as she looked back at the metal heads with a determined face as her mech stood back up, but this time had Bastions mini-gun barrel form over the rights shoulder of her mech. She began firing off her mechs blasters along with Bastions chain gun which shot around in a 360 motions causing even more metal head casualties. "Like I said before, I AM D-VA DESTROYER OF METAL HEADS!"
"She's kind of scary…" Daxter muttered as he dodged a swipe to the head by a small metal head in which Jak killed with a scattergun blast to the face
"Yeah she is Dax, but hey at least she's on our side right?" Jak replied back and before Daxter could answered they heard the growls from the metal heads becoming faster. The duo turned to see the Hana/Bastion enhanced mech being quickly over taken by metal heads jumping on her suit, Hei on the other hand was sticking close by the Sig slashing and electrocuting any metal head that got to close. Though Hei was starting to have trouble also with keeping the Metal heads back.
"Jak watch out!" Daxter yelled out as Jak turned his head straight to barley rolled back from an above swipe from one of the larger metal heads who was accompanied by dozens more of its kin
Jak, Daxter, Hei, Bastion and Hana were then pushed back until they almost bumped into Sig. Though without even having to say anything they got into a defensive circle around Sig as he was so close to charging up his gun fully up. They blasted, kicked, punched, shot and stabbed the metal heads who were becoming more difficult to fight off. The metal head horde kept pushing and pushing until the gang was getting overwhelmed
"Okay for real Sig are you almost ready?" Hana asked as Bastion was looking around the cockpit in a panic "I know your scared buddy but we'll get past this I promise."
"I am ready but we need to get these damn metal heads out of the way so I can get a clear shot!" Sig yelled out in annoyance
"Were trying!" Hei yelled in annoyance back as he punched a metal head clawing at him square in the face
"We need to hurry, Jak we got to do something!" Daxter yelled next as a metal head was snapping at him
"I'm trying to figure out something!" Jak yelled last as he was starting to become agitated, so very, very agitated. Then he suddenly heard a new voice
"Hello Jak…." Whispered a raspy man's tone that was accompanied by a cruel chuckle
"What who said that?" Jak asked out loud as he was pushing back a few metal heads on his side with Daxter helping as much as he could
"You, me or I should say us Jak. It's me your inner darkness or just call me Dark Jak. It looks like you're in some sort of predicament… I can help you." Dark Jak answered as Jak just scowled at his inner dark self "Oh don't give me that, you need my help and you know it."
"No….No I don't, every time you come out you try and kill someone!" Jake replied back as he shoot into the horde of metal heads
"Jak who are you talking to?" Hana asked as she flung a metal head off the arm off her mech while using Bastion's turret to mow down metal heads behind her mech suit while Jak just kept quiet
"Don't be an idiot, you need me to help you out. I am you and you are me, I'll be damn if I let you pick all the choices for us. So it's my turn to have some fun!" Dark Jak sternly stated as Jak suddenly felt his body change once more as he fell on the ground in pain
"Jak buddy what's wrong?" Daxter asked in a panic but was picked up by Hei before he was mauled by a smaller metal head
"Watch your surroundings." Hei stated as he slashed a few more metals heads
"I am, but Jak is….." Daxter replied back but not before Jak transformed into his darker form
Dark Jak then began devastating the metal heads around them in a matter of seconds as purple electricity zapped one metal head after another from his claw strikes. Dark Jak began slicing and dicing the metal heads around the others with quick ease. But as he was finishing off his all-out slaughter he did something new, Daxter was the only one to notice since for the others this was the first time they saw him in this form. What Dark Jak did first was completely stop with his violent attacks, bent his legs jumped up and as he was falling back down he swung his fist down hard at the ground. The results of when he finally landed down while his fist hit the ground was a large wave of electric purple energy, when this made contact with the remaining metal heads it sent them fly away. When the metal heads landed back down all of them were dead while Dark Jak transformed back into Jak and fell on one knee in exhaustion, the other just stared surprised by that. Though thankfully Hana was the one to get her sense back quick enough.
"Sig you got a clear shot so take it!" Hana yelled out as Sig got back to his senses
"Right!" Sig relied back as he aimed his peacemaker at the four target metal heads "Say cheese metal freaks!" he yelled out as his peacemaker fired the overcharged shot hitting all four target metal heads, shocking them to death as their bodies fell down the cliff and landed in the shallow water below
"Nice hit Sig." Hei stated as he cracked his neck
"Yeah totally dude. But what do we do now?" Hana asked as Bastion unattached himself from her mech suit and formed back into his bi-pedal form
"Beep, vroop." Bastion replied back
"Yeah I guess we'll think about in a moment. Still I'm also wondering myself how the girls are faring." Hana said as she noticed Jak and Daxter walking up next to her "Well how are doing feral boy?"
"Really 'feral boy'. Couldn't you have come up with a better sounding nick name?" Jak asked as he rubbed his head a little
"You feeling okay Jak?" Sig asked as he stood back up
"Yeah just kind of tired is all, how about the rest of you?" Jak replied
"We're all good." Hei answered quickly
"Totally and I got to say Jak that thing you did with the electric shockwave was pretty cool." Hana added
"It was pretty cool, but I'm curious on how you did that in first place." Daxter asked as Jak thought it over until he realized what it must have been
"I think it was from that precursor statue we found in the hut, remember Daxter." Jak replied back
"Oh yeah that right. That creepy thing wanted the metal head skull gems, then it did that weird thing where he zapped you for a few seconds." Daxter explained with a small smile
"Vroop?" Bastion asked a little confused at the moment
"What did he say?" Jak asked
"He asked what you two are talking about, I'm curious as well." Hana asked as Sig and Hei just nodded as they were somewhat curious
"Oh well…" Daxter began saying but didn't know how to word it "Jak a little help here?"
"Alright then." Jak answered back rolling his eyes as he took a quick breather "So it started out like this…"
-Jak and Daxter's flashback-
"So Jak what are we doing here?" Daxter asked as he and Jak had stopped by an old hut while Hana, Hei and Bastion were already at the water plants gates
"I don't know but I got a weird feeling here, like a feeling of nostalgia of sorts." Jak answered back as he entered the hut. Inside it was covered with candles but what truly caught his and Daxter's eyes was the statue in the center
"Ah, so you come at last." Asked the statue which was made of bronze, had a roundish head, long trunk like mouth and two eyes. It also had a large body that look like it was half of a circle with a blues gem in the center, lastly the statue itself glowed an angelic blue. What the duo was looking at was a one of the old precursor statues that he and Daxter had encountered when he was younger on their first adventure
"Whoa is that what I think it is?" Daxter asked in shock
"Yeah it is Daxter, it's a precursor statue." Jak answered back as he was surprised to see something from his original time period here in front of him
"Indeed I am, but aside from that I can sense darkness inside of you young man. I sense the darkness clawing at you soul and your very being trying to take control. But I can help you, though I require thirty metal head skull gems to do so." The Precursor statute explained as Daxter went into Jaks pocket and pulled out a bag full of metal head gems they had collected their first time around the water plant. (Don't ask how)
"I think these will do!" Daxter stated happily as the bag suddenly levitated and was sucked into the statues open mouth piece
"Ah yes there we go, since you have given me what I need I shall give to you a power to help quail the darkness in you and with that the powers that are granted with it." The Precursor statue said as a bolt of dark lighting zapped Jak in his chest, as this happened Jak felt the uneasiness from the dark echo lessen as his body felt somewhat more pure
"Ugh… that felt strange. So what now?" Jak asked as the precursor statue's glow laughing weakly
"That is for you to find out as for me…..my time has finally come. I used the last of my life force to grant you your new powers…." The precursor statue replied back as his glow began to die
"Wait you can die, what if I need more help!" Jak asked as he just didn't want one of the last things from his time period gone
"You won't, you have your friends who will stick by you and you have the keyblade wielders with you as well. Just remember this, friends can be a source of power to fight the darkness within…." The precursor statue said as his glow died and the candles suddenly all went out leaving Jak and Daxter in the darkness
"So what now Jak?" Daxter asked with slight unease
"Lets…lets just get back to the others, Sig ain't going to wait forever for us." Jak answered back as he felt uneased as well, though he quickly got over it as he and Daxter made their way back to the others prepared for whatever the mission would bring
-End of Flashback-
"After that well you all know the rest." Jak finishing explaining while the other listened and Sig was busy cutting off the metal heads well…heads for Krew trophies
"So that's why you were at that hut, at least know we know." Hana said with a small smile but also slightly concern of Jak's dark form, but she was keeping that to herself
"You bet ya Hana!" Daxter stated happily as he turned his attention towards Sig "Hey big guy you done yet?"
"Yes I am and may I say these are some fine specimens." Sig replied back as he stood back up from the metal head corpses and held up the four large heads that were blood stained and still had the veins, eyes and brains
"Nice trophies…" Hei remarked with slight disgust
"Yeah nice, so what now Sig?" Jak asked as Sig sat back down on a log and pulled out a small case filled with medical tools
"Well I'm sticking around here to get all the icky inners out of these heads. The lot of you are going back to Krew and telling him we got the job done. So get on it will ya." Sig explained as the others just shrugged and began making their way back to Krew's, though they wondered if the girls were already back at Krew's waiting for them
-Back with the girls-
"GIVE IT UP!" Lord Grand screamed out as he swung his blade down at Yang and Blake, launching both girls a few feet back to where Weiss and Ruby were using their Keyblades gun modes
"You girls okay!" Ruby asked in a panic as she stopped firing her rifle to help up her sister and Blake to their feet
"Yeah we are baby sis, were tough girls." Yang replied back with a proud smirk as she charged once again at Lord Grand and began slashing rapidly at him. Meanwhile Blake was keeping a medium distance as she threw her keyblade after Yang was done doing her combo attacks. This made Lord Grand unable to attack and only able to defend himself
"Ruby I think we should switch with Blake and Yang soon, they'll need the quick rest before switching back with us." Weiss suggested as she yelled out 'Thunder' changing the ammo from her current blizzard to thunder. She then shot of three shots getting two hits on Lord Grands shoulder while thankfully not hitting Blake and Yang who were taking turns slashing and throwing their keyblades
"Sounds like a plan Weiss." Ruby replied back as she fired a round of fire magic straight into Lord Grands face making him claw at his face to put out the flames on his face. Ruby took the opportunity get Yang's and Blake's attention "Hey get back over here so me and Weiss can switch with you!
"Sounds good Ru-" Blake began to say but was cut off as Lord Grand in a blind rage swung his blade sending a wave a darkness that pushed Yang and Blake back a few feet and then almost hit Ruby and Weiss who dodged it the last second. But the dark wave bounced off the wall behind them pushing Ruby and Weiss right next to Yang and Blake
"Or I guess we can come to you." Weiss stated as she rubbed her head a little from the attack as Lord Grand was able to get the flames on his face to go out as he then stared at them with a glare
"You four annoyances won't just give up will you?" Lord Grand asked as he readied his blades
"No we don't, but I think that's just a part of our charms." Ruby answered back with a smirk as she, Weiss, Blake and Yang deiced just to charge him at once and did so
As the battle continued once more Ruby jumped over Lord Grand slashing his back and making him stagger, Yang took advantage of this and used both of her hands to swing her keyblade under his chin. This launched Lord Grand somewhat in the air which Blake took advantage of as she had Yang throw her above him, Blake then dropped down slamming her keyblade down on his stomach and launching him back down. Though before Lord Grand landed back down though Weiss slid quickly under him and bashed her keyblade against his back sending him back up higher this time, Weiss then stopped by Ruby and let her place her boots over her hands which Weiss used her hand like a launcher just like Guin did with her in Wonderland. Weiss quickly flung Ruby up with all her strength which got her half way to Lord Grand. Thankfully Blake was falling back down just in to for her to grab Ruby by the left arm and with all her own strength fling her high enough to Lord Grand who was falling back down himself at the moment. As Lord Grand continued falling down Ruby took the chance and started to slash at him with a vicious aerial combos. While that happened Weiss and Blake decided to launch up Yang as well with the same tactic Guin did, Yang placed her boots on Blake and Weiss hands waiting for a perfect time to launch at Lord Grand so she could help out her little sister.
"Alright wait for it….." Yang said as she watch Ruby and Lord Grand fall down a little more before she saw the perfect moment "NOW!"
With that Blake and Weiss launched Yang up in the air, as Yang then flew up slightly over Ruby she waited until her little sister stopped with her current combo. Yang then started slashing at Lord Grand and though not as fast as Ruby, she did use more power with each swing. The sisters slashed back and forth at Lord Grand was trying his best to defend himself. Ruby and Yang then stopped their onslaught as Yang looked over to her little sister as they got closer and closer to the ground
"You think what I'm thinking Yang?" Ruby asked with a wide smirk
"Ruby I totally know what you're thinking." Yang replied back with and even wider smirk as both sisters raised their keyblades high above their heads, then slammed down on Lord Grand's face sending him down into the ground hard while creating a small dust cloud. Ruby and Yang landed back down on the ground on their feet as Weiss and Blake made their way up to them
"Nice going you two." Weiss said with a smile as Ruby blushed from the compliment while Yang gave her a thumbs up
"Yes very nice job indeed, especially you Yang." Blake added in with a playfully punch to Yang's left arm, getting Yang to smile wildly
"Aw Blakey you know how to make me feel special." Yang remarked as Blake giggled
"So do you think we beat him?" Ruby asked getting back to her serious face as the girls did the same while they all looked at the dust cloud and kept their keyblades at hand just in case
"NO YOU HAVEN'T!" Lord Grand yelled out as he swung his blade so quickly that it dissipated the dust cloud and forced the girls to block his attack which pushed them back three inches. But before they could attack Lord Grand lunged at them with a blood thirty grin "DIE!"
Lord Grand slashed with both his sword and dagger with deadly speed as team RWBY were struggling to keep their stance. Lord Grand kept slashing and bashing as the girls began wincing from the stinging pain in their hands from blocking for so long. But then Lord Grand stopped and lunged backwards away from them, giving the girls time to rest their hands.
"What's wrong, getting tried?" Yang asked as thankfully her aura along with Ruby, Weiss and Blake's were already working healing up their hands. Lord Grand just chuckled
"No, but I think I should take more of a…magical approach here." Lord Grand answered as within seconds the ground was surrounded with a bright yellow circle, the area began shaking as Lord Grand laughed louder but stopped as he glared at the girls with a wicked smirk
"What in the world?" Blake yelled out as she and the girls prepared for whatever he was planning on doing
"Apostol's Wrath!" Lord Grand yelled out as the yellow circle shot out rotating beams of pure dark energy hitting team RWBY at a constant. This continued for another ten seconds before the spell stopped and the girls landed on their backs with a few cuts and bruises around their bodies
"Man that hurt…" Yang said as she winced from the pain
"Defiantly, Weiss, Blake are you both okay?" Ruby said next as Weiss just gave her a thumbs up and Blake nodded slowly as team RWBY's aura were slowly healing them up
"Enjoy it while it last little girls." Lord Grand stated as he looked down upon the girls "BECAUSE YOUR GOING TO DIE RIGHT NOW!" he added in as he swung his blade down at them but before he could make contact the four gems that were in their pockets floated out and glowed brightly blinding them and Lord Grand who himself was freaking out from how much it burned his eyes. Once the lights died thought….three figures appeared
The first figure was a short yellow, white, grey and black colored robot in front of Weiss. He had a yellow torso with white chest plating in the front. His arms had two yellow box like shoulder pads, thin circular steel upper arms, half yellow-half white fore arms with built in blasters though the left wrist had two barrel while the right only had one , lastly he hand two grey hands. His lower half had a yellow waist guard with a yellow hexagonal skirt piece in the back and a white one in the front. He had somewhat thick grey thigh plating, very thick yellow canister like armor around the lower legs and white metal plated boots with two black horns sticking out of the sides. Finally he had a white mouth guard, a black visor with two green lighted eyes and a yellow plated helmet with a head attachment that looked kind of like a beetles horn expect the horns also look like much wider barrels.
The second figure was a small paled skinned, short red haired, green eyed little girl in front of Yang. She wore a cat ear head band over her head, a light purple vest with dark purple ruffled sleeves, she also wore a pink backpack. Her lower half was just a dark purple skirt, a pair of knee high dark purple stripped leg warmers and black shoes. Lastly she held in her right hand a small rugged brown teddy bear.
The third figure was actually a large egg next to Blake, it was about her height, had a yellowish-white shell and Blake swore she could see an outline of a reptilian creature with slightly short arms, long legs, a jaw full of tiny sharp teeth and a large long tail. Blake could hear a few thumps every few seconds which indicated the egg would hatch very soon.
"Um….." Ruby said with wide eyed look while also wondering why her summon hadn't showed itself yet
"What the?" The robot asked as he turned around along the little girl to see team RWBY "Hey where the heck am I, and who are people anyway and where is Ikki, answer me now!"
"Yeah I want to know to, did you kidnap us because if you did Tibbers isn't going to be happy about it." The little girl asked as well looking kind of scared at the moment
"Alright look this is really hard to explain at the moment, the guy behind us is trying to kill me and my friends and probably you both as well so for right now help us beat this guy and then we can tell you what you need know." Weiss sternly explained as kindly as she could but with the current situation that's all she could muster up
"Hmmm…" The robot though for a second looking at Annie who shrugged and then looked back at Weiss." Alright fine then, but at least tell us your names."
"I'm Weiss, Yang's the one in yellow, Ruby is the one in red and Blake is the in Black. What are your names?" Weiss answered back
"Metabee is what I'm called, and I see that you have my watch." The robot Metabee stated as Weiss looked to see she had a blue colored watch with a small image of Metabee on it with 100 % indicator around the head, legs, torso and arms
"And I'm Annie!" The girl Annie answered next as she held up her teddy bear "And this is Tibbers."
"Well nice to meet you both but I think our big friend has taken notice to us again." Yang said back as she along with the rest saw Lord Grand glaring at them now with his eye sight finally fixed from the temporary blindness "He probably was blinded up until now, out luck I guess."
"Alright here's the plan, Weiss you and Metabee along with Yang and Annie try and keep him busy while me and Blake see if we can get our new summons to help." Ruby suggested as she was still wondering how the summons even activated since they need to see the fairy god mother to do that in first place –"Hm maybe it's just a weird misshape, oh well no need to questioned it."-
"Alright we will, come on lets go." Weiss replied back as she, Metabee, Yang and Annie charged leaving Ruby and Blake behind
"Be careful Weiss." Ruby whispered as she began trying using her summon gem while Blake was trying to figure out how to get the egg that came from her gem to hatch
-In the Barron Fortress-
"Lady Ashelin open up please it's an emergency!" Private tanner said as he knocked on the door to his commander's quarters. He was praying multiple 'thank you's' to whatever god was watching him for letting him get away from the others without any issues. Thankfully for him Ashelin open the door a second later with a small smile seeing one of her troops again
"Tanner I'm here what's is the problem?" Ashelin asked with a concerned face as she offered Private Tanner a seat on her queen sized bed while she took a seat next to him "Alright now can you tell me what's the issue is?"
"Okay well I turns out that maybe the new guy your father brought is much worse than you had originally planned… he…he killed a dozen of civilians with no sense of regret. I…I had to….I had no choice my lady." Private Tanner explained with shock and disgust in his tone as Ashelin just patted him on the shoulder
"It's alright I know you had do what you had to do to keep your true mission a secret. I appreciate the loyalty Tanner." Ashelin replied back
"Of course my lady, you have done a lot for me and the others under your command. If we're going to overthrow your father with the help of the underground we need to accelerate the plans. I fear that with the new guy we may not get a large time gap." Private Tanner said back with a kind but also concerned tone
"I understand what you're saying, but for right now I need you to go back to your platoon." Ashelin stated as Private Tanner nodded and began making his way back out until Ashelin stopped him "Before you go I need to tell you something."
"Yes lady Ashelin?" Private Tanner answered
"I just want to tell you that should keep your guard up from here on out. I'm taking a guess that your platoon will be wondering where you ended up." Ashelin explained as Private Tanner just nodded and made his way out. Once the doors were closed Ashelin sighed to herself. "I just hope nothing else goes wrong and I wonder what's been happening in the city. Since I can't leave at the moment because father is getting suspicious of my recent activities I'll just have to wait and see for myself soon."
With that Ashelin laid back down on her bed to get some rest because she had a feeling she wasn't going to like the answers …
-Back with Team RWBY-
"Come on why won't you work!" Ruby yelled out in slight annoyance as she had spent a good few minutes trying to get her Gem to work like it had with Weiss and Yang. Meanwhile next to her Blake was trying her best to find a way to get whatever kind of baby was inside to open the egg as she could tell it was the day for it to hatch
"At least I know I'm not the only one having trouble." Blake muttered to herself as she rubbed the sides of the egg some more "Come on little baby you need to come out, I know you can do it. I also know you can be a big help with is right about now."
"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU PESTS!" Lord Grand scream as he failed at swiping his blade at Medabee who dodged away from instinct
"Hey watch were you swing that thing will ya!" Metabee yelled out as he fired his blasters at Lord Grand only to damage his arm slightly "Got ya, Weiss can you give me a hand other than firing of that stuff you shoot out of the weird weapons of yours!?"
"I'm doing my best Metabee, but what else can I do I don't know how you use your other functions!" Weiss yelled back as she was firing off thunder spells quickly as she also was trying to figure out how to use Metabee's watch as Metabee had told her that is how he's able to use his more advanced combat functions
"Hey Weiss a little less arguing and more fighting will ya?" Yang asked as she was throwing rapid fire spells at Lord Grand while Annie did the same, oh also it turned out her teddy bear Tibbers was magically attuned which turned the stuff bear into an actual sized bear with fire coming out of his seams. Tibbers was currently keepings his jaw locked tightly around Lord Grand's upper left shoulder from behind while he also clawed at his chest
"This is fun and mister Tibbers is hurting that meany!" Annie said happily as she fired one large fire ball at Lord Grand, covering his legs and right arm in fire
"Man you really like fire little lady, you and me are going to get along just fine along with mister Tibbers." Yang replied back as she switched her Keyblade into it's gun mode and began using the thunder spell for the ammo this time as she fired off a barrage of rounds into Lord Grand. Meanwhile with Ruby and Blake, Blake seemed to be having a break through…literally
"Alright little egg open up so I can help my friends!" Blake yelled out as the sounds of battle continued on. Top her shock the egg began cracking until whatever was in it broke out
The baby in the egg was what Blake had thought she saw the first time as she laid her eyes on it, it was a baby lizard about her size in height, it had grey skin, reddish-orange eyes, a pretty decent pair of sharp teeth and lastly it was looking right at her while the egg yolk on it was sliding off
"Um….hi?" Blake said nervously as the baby bi-pedal lizard licked her face "Okay are you….are you going to eat me?"
"Actually Blake I think, well I think this little baby believes your it's mom." Ruby suggested as she took a moment to help Blake out of possibly attacking the little baby lizard
"Wait what?" Blake asked as she looked back at her summon to see it nuzzling it's nose against her face which to it's credit helped Blake already start getting a liking for it "Alright, alright I guess I'm your mommy then, look can you do something for your mommy?"
"RAWR!" The baby lizard screeched out as Blake smiled
"Good, now over to the right of me my friends are doing their best to take the big guy in the center down for the count. Can you help me, help them out?" Blake explained
"Rawr, rawr!" Blake's summoned answered back joyfully as he charged at Lord Grand and immediately pounced on him, knocking Lord Grand down on his back as the baby lizard began clawing at his chest along with tibbers who got out from behind Lord Grand before he fell. Lord Grand was now trying his best to push off Blake's summon and Tibbers while also doing his best to push through the constant pain Yang, Weiss, Metabee and Annie were doing from afar
"That's a yes, Ruby I'll be helping out the others now. I know you can get your gem to work so until then just try you best." Blake stated as she made her way over to next to Weiss and Yang as she started to fire off blizzard spells
"Alright then…" Ruby muttered as she began poking her Gem rapidly hoping to get it to work soon so she can help her friends with the fight. Meanwhile Lord Grand was now starting to become extremely agitated with his predicament
"Get off!" Lord Grand yelled out as he was pushing through the pain in his limbs being shot up with various magic's and the pain in his chest from it being mauled by the over grown lizard and bear on his chest. He was getting tired of it and he was getting angered by it until he couldn't keep it in anymore. "I SAID THAT IS ENOUGH!" he screamed out as he emitted a shockwave of darkness, pushing the summons, Weiss, Blake and Yang back into the invisible wall behind them
"Ah my head…" Blake said as she laid on the ground like the others "Is everyone alright?"
"I am I think…oh never mind." Metabee answered first as his legs and both arms had darkened in color and weren't moving
"Metabee what's happened!" Weiss asked in a panic as she figured out what the watch was for and looked down at it to see the miniature image of Metabee had changed, the function was made more obvious as the watch spoke to her
"Warning legs and arms at critical." The watch stated in a monotone feminine tone
"Oh no, Metabee any way I can fix you?" Weiss asked as Metabee just nodded his head no
"Sorry Weiss, I'm out for now." Metabee explained with a tone of slight annoyance
"How about you Annie you okay kiddo?" Yang asked as Annie just nodded but couldn't get up as she seemed to have wounded her leg
"I think I am, but my leg hurts and Mister Tibbers will need his arm sowed back on." Annie replied back as she held Tibbers back in his teddy bear form expect his right arm had ripped off
"It's okay kid, you and Tibbers did you best." Yang said with a kind smile as she turned her head to Blake "Blake, babe how are you and the little guy doing?"
"We're fine but I think my little buddy here is down for the count." Blake answered back as she was soothing the baby lizard's head which was laid upon her lap "You'll be fine, I promise little one."
"Well isn't that just sweet." Lord Grand said in a mocking tone as the girls we're about to get ready to attack Lord Grand hit them and the summons with a quick and barley painful blast of dark energy which froze their bodies in a sort of frozen stasis
"What did you do?" Weiss asked in anger as she tried to move her body but couldn't
"I froze you all in place with a stasis spell. I could kill you all right now, but I won't because I want you to suffer as I kill the only one that I haven't frozen and rip her heart out as you all watch." Lord Grand answer as he turned his gazed over to Ruby who was now lost trying to get her summon gem to work
"Oh no!" Yang said in fear as she and the others watch Lord Grand Lung at Ruby with his blades raised up at her
"RUBY!" Weiss, Blake and Yang yelled out in horror as Ruby took noticed of her friends screams
"Girls what's the…." Ruby answered back as she looked wide eyed to see Lord Grand standing over her with a murderous grin as he swung his blade down, but for Ruby time slowed down
-"I…what can I do, I won't be able to get my Keyblade out at this point, my aura can keep me safe for only so long. Am I going to die…No, no I can't leave Yang or Blake, I can't leave anyone I've meet so far…I CAN'T LEAVE MY WEISS!"- Ruby screamed to herself as the blade came closer and closer, until her summon gem finally glowed brightly blinding Lord Grand again but still swung his blade down. But just then his blade stopped moving as the light died down and even though Lord Grand couldn't see who had stopped his blade, Ruby and the others in stasis could
Ruby's summons was unlike Weiss, Blake's and Yang's. Her summon was taller than Lord Grand himself, he was very muscular, his skin was that of a reptiles, he had dreadlocks that looked more like flesh than hair and also had sharp claws on his hands and feet. His armor was a black matted light chest piece with a turret like construct over his right shoulder, two shoulder pads, two gauntlets with openings at the ends, a loin-cloth made of brown cloth, two greaves that covered the lower parts of his legs and feet, lastly he wore a metal mask that was smooth with yellow glowing eye pieces. At the moment Ruby's summon was holding Lord Grands Blade with his right hand showing it was extremely strong. Ruby did notice one thing though, it was bleeding green blood from its left side which now made sense on why she heard a pained growl earlier.
"What…what in the hell stopped my attack?" Lord Grand asked in anger as Ruby's summon delivered a kick to his stomach, flinging Lord Grand back near the center of the area. While this happened Ruby got back up and walked up next to her summon which looked at her
"Thanks for the save, look I know this is like really confusing. But that guy you just kicked is trying to kill me and my friends. Also he'll probably try and kill you as well, so how about you help me beat this guy huh?" Ruby asked "Oh also my names Ruby just so you know."
"Grrr." Ruby's summon replied back as he hesitantly shook Ruby's hand understanding that right now Ruby and whoever else was with her was his only shot to for him to figure out what was going on
"I'll take that a yes." Ruby stated with a smile as she and her summon looked at Lord Grand who once again had finally gotten out of his temporary blindness. Ruby summoned her Keyblade as her summon just cracked his knuckles "CHARGE!"
With that the battle started as Ruby ran ahead of her summon and was able to jump over Lord Gran as she smacked the top of his head with her keyblade, before Lord Grand could attack back Ruby's summons rammed into him and pushed him against the barrier behind them. Ruby's summon then began punching Lord Grand in the sides and then lifted him up throwing him hard against the ground. Ruby didn't let Lord Grand get back up as she jumped up on again but this time landed her boots hard against the back of his head. Ruby then got off of Lord Grand and swung her keyblade across his face making Grand fling back up on his feet, but as Lord Grand was staggering back her summon released two long and very jagged wrist blades from his right gauntlet. Ruby's summon then shoved the wrist blades through Grand's chest as he lifted him up in the air, Ruby's summon threw Grand on the ground hard once more as he laid their bleeding out from his chest wound. But to Lord Grand's fear his spiritual heart (Which was now a dark deformed abomination) began to appear before him expect it was dark purple from the heartless corruption of being eaten and then recreated for his current form. Ruby and her summon walked up to him as Lord Grand began to beg.
"No wait please you don't have to kill me, I'm not a threat anymore!" Lord Grand yelled out as Ruby just glared at him
"You tried to kill me, you tried to kill my friends and my family. Now you're begging for me to spare you?" Ruby yelled out as she swung her keyblade at Lord Grand's spiritual heart but stopped an inch away as she glared more intensely at the man "But even as you did that, I won't kill you because I'm not a monster like you. Be happy I'm a kind girl."
"Grrr?" Ruby's summon asked as Ruby looked at him with a raised eyebrow
"I don't really know what you're saying, but can you keep an eye on him please?" Ruby asked as her summon just nodded. Ruby then went over to the others who were still under the stasis spell
"Hey Ruby nice battle you had there." Blake said as she looked over to her summon who was trying its best to move over to her "Hey, hey stop doing that you're going to hurt yourself."
"Oh yeah totally, you were super-duper cool!" Annie yelled out happily as she noticed Tibbers ripped off arm wasn't with her, thankfully Yang took notice
"Hey don't worry Annie I got his arm with me. I'll keep it safe I promise." Yang said as Annie saw Tibbers ripped off arm in her left hand and sighed in relief. "Still baby sis you did a good job out there."
"Thanks Yang." Ruby answered back with a small smiled as she looked at Weiss who was tearing up a little which Ruby began panicking about "Weiss why are you crying, please don't cry. I don't like it when you do!"
"Don't worry Ruby, I'm crying because I'm glad you're safe." Weiss explained with a smile as she stopped herself from crying anymore
"Aw Weiss…" Ruby said back blushing as her heart thumped fast, then Metabee had to interrupt
"Hey sorry to break up your little moment but, CAN YOU GET US OUT NOW PLEASE!?" Metabee asked as his systems were back to functioning order and he wanted to get himself moving again. Weiss gave him a slight glare before sighing knowing he had a point
"Though I wouldn't have put it like that, I have to agree. Ruby see if you can get Lord Grand to-" Weiss began to ask but stopped as the stasis spell wore off and the area they had been in turned back to what it originally was, a slightly lit dark tunnel full of skulls
"Wait what just happened?" Metabee asked as he and the other got back up
"Back to normal that's what, I guess you didn't have to do anything then Ruby." Yang remarked with an amused grin as she then noticed her girlfriend looking forward with a horrified face "Blakey what's wrong?"
"I…I thin…I think I know the real reason why the spell wore off…" Blake answered with a shaken tone as Ruby, Weiss and Yang looked over to see much their horror Ruby's summon looking back at them cover in blood especially around his wrist blades as Grand's body which turned back to human laid behind him with a mangled face and body
"Oh…oh my…." Ruby tried to say but couldn't as she was feeling the same feeling of pure disgust she had felt only a few times before. Weiss, Blake and Yang seemed to feel the same way as they all looked like they were going to throw up. Ruby's summon than began walking up to them and Ruby herself finally got a good look on what her new summon truly was
She could see it clearly now, her new summon was a hunter. A cold blood hunter that seem like it had killed many times before and to Ruby's own surprise she actually was somewhat scared of him. She knew he probably wouldn't kill anyone she knew but anyone who was against them… she was now fearing what her new summon, this Predator who do to them and she didn't want to think about it.
"RAWR!" Blake's summon roared out getting in front of the group in a protective manner as Ruby's summon stopped
"What are doing little one?" Blake asked in fear of her summons life as it roared once more, but this time Ruby's Summon roared back
"GRRR!" Ruby summon roared back in a much louder and threating tone making the baby lizard back up next to Blake shaking a little in fear. Ruby's summon then stared at Ruby herself and she figured out what she'd have to do to start getting this Predators respect
"Now you listen here I don't know what you issue is but we don't kill willy nilly you got me. If you do it again I don't know what I'll do but it won't be pretty do you understand!" Ruby sternly orders as her summon roared at her with the same threating tone, but Ruby knew she couldn't back down as she glared back at him
"Ruby what are doing?" Yang asked in fear for her little sisters life as Annie and Metabee were getting ready to attack, Weiss even was ready to shoot out a fire spell if need. But to their groups surprise Ruby's summon back down and very slowly nodded in an agreeing manner
"Good then, now I know you and the other summons here have questions but I will explain it to you when we get back to Traverse town." Ruby stated as her summon nodded once more but very hesitantly. Ruby satisfied with that looked back to the Medabee, Annie and the baby lizard. "Weiss, Yang and Blake along with me will explain this to you all. We promise."
"Yah totally, Ruby here never lies and that I can say with full confidence." Yang added in as Ruby silently thanked her big sister
"Sounds good to me." Annie joyfully said
"I guess so, though I don't think the baby lizard is going to be well needing much to know about whatever is going on." Metabee said next as Blake's summon just nuzzled his head under Blake's arms
"I guess so, hm and I think I'll call this little one…hm… Oh I know. I'll call her Zilla." Blake said happily as Zilla purred in joy
"How do you know Zilla's a girl?" Weiss asked
"I guess I just do, maybe it's a connection thing between summons and their users." Blake explained as Weiss just shrugged going with it
"Aright then now you all get back into you gems and rest up. Especially you big guy, we'll get you patched up." Ruby said as she hoped her summons wounds wouldn't get any worse. With that she, Weiss, Blake and Yang activated their summon gems which brighten the room for a few seconds. Then when the light died down Team RWBY we're the only ones left
"Well since this is all but done, lets get back to Krew." Weiss suggested as the others already knew that she really just wanted to get away from dead bloody body of Grand
"Yeah…" Ruby, Blake and Yang answered back feeling the same way as they all began to make their way back to Krew's
-Fifteen minutes later at Krew's-
"Ugh what is that smell?" Krew asked as he had his back turned from Jak, Daxter, Hana and Hei while Bastion wasn't seen with them oddly
"I think that would be us mister hover chair." Yang joked as she, Ruby, Blake and Weiss answered as they entered the bar with looks of relief from being out of the sewers now
"Yes it's us and I hope we can find a way to get rid of this stench." Weiss said with slight annoyance
"Agreed…" Blake said next as she felt somewhat sick from the Sewer smell
"Hey don't fret girls I'm sure it will wear off sooner or later." Ruby happily stated with a wide smile getting Blake and Weiss to smile back at her optimism
"Anyways, how did your mission go ladies?" Hei asked
"It went well…though we did have some trouble a little later." Ruby answered with a sheepish grin
"Yeah we can see, you all look like you just went through a storm with those cuts on your faces." Daxter remarked getting a light flick to the head by Jak "Ow, what did I do now?"
"Could have been a little less blunt about it." Jak explained as Daxter just rolled his eyes
"Hope those aren't permeant scars." Hana said with a worried frown
"Nah were good, we'll just have to wait for our aura to heal these up a little later." Yang replied back as she and Ruby, Weiss and Blake were thankful that the small few cuts on their faces would fully heal up sooner or later. Though a second later Blake out the group noticed something
"Hey where's Bastion?" Blake asked as the rest of Team RWBY took notice as well now
"Yeah where is he, did something bad happen to him?" Weiss asked worried that the bot was hurt or worse
"Oh no, no don't worry he's alive and fine but…." Hana answered back quickly as she over to a small shoe box near them, opened it and pulled out…. Teddy bear size Bastion which she held with both her arms "Let's just say he got a little more compact."
"What in the world happen to him?" Yang asked confused beyond belief
"We don't really, we got back here telling Krew how the mission went and then Bastion just began glowing. A second later he was, well he was the size of a teddy bear." Jak explained
"Beep, beep, vroop." Bastion said with a sad tone
"Hey don't worry buddy I'm sure it's only temporary." Yang said back as Bastion seemed to get into a better mood
"As enticing as this is, I have another mission for you folks if you're ready for it." Krew asked as Team RWBY and Hana glared at him in annoyance while the boys just nodded yes "Good then listen up, racing in this city is the biggest sport in the city. Erol is the undisputed grand champion, he's crazy and dangerous on the tracks. My kind of guy if you ask me and only a fool would dare race against him ey."
"I'm taking a good guess that Jak is the one you're asking to do so right?" Ruby asked in a sarcastic tone as she was fed up with Krew already, she didn't like him one bit as he was way to shady
"Smart you are little red, a client of mine is looking for a fast diver for her racing team." Krew explained as he threw Jak a security pass "Here's a security pass to get you along with your little friends into the stadium section. Uh and your contract also with a few let's say….trifles for me."
"This already sounds bad…" Weiss muttered as Ruby being the only one to hear her just nodded in agreement
"I've already signed your name to save time, mmmmnnnn." Krew added in as Daxter took the contract out of Jaks hands and began reading it out loud
"We the racer hereby agree to give Krew all proceeds from race earnings, endorsement fees, broadcast royalties, syndication residuals, vehicle sponsorships, mall appearance fees, collectible card assets, fast-food tie-ins, use of likeness rights, talk show deals, clothing lines, all print rights including books, novella, comic, pamphlets, tickertape, neon sign, and bathroom Graffiti designs." Daxter said as he took a deep breath while the others just signed knowing he was going to read it all. Daxter then began reading once more. "Toy rights, shoe lines, mood rings, game rights….wait GAME RIGHTS, Vitamin endorsements, city kickbacks, movie deals and of course all death and dismemberment accident insurance claims."
"Wow you are so generous Krew." Hana stated with a sarcastic tone as Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang all took turns giving her a quick high five as they though the same thing
"Yeah generous." Hei muttered as he just wanted to kill Krew already so they wouldn't have to deal with him anymore
"We can work out the tiny details later, if you can all get from the race Garage in near the stadium on less than three minutes my client said she would consider letting you on for her race team. Your friends here can be you support so make me proud. Oh also the little challenge will start once you leave this bar so if you want to get your bearings do so, just don't take too long boy." Krew explained as he made his way into the back of his bar leaving the group alone now
"So I guess we should take a breather huh, besides I need to rest my feet a little after the whole thing that went down at the sewers." Blake suggested as the other nodded in agreement with her but before any of that could happen, Team RWBY, Hei, Hana and Bastion began to glow
"Whoa what the heck is happening to you?" Daxter asked
"We don't know but we must be getting sent back to ship for some reason." Ruby answered back as she and her friend's beagn to disappear. Knowing that they were leaving Ruby decided to give Jak and Daxter a promise "Jak, Daxter we'll come back we promise. I don't know when but we will okay!"
"We believe you, don't worry we can handle ourselves while you gone just don't too much fun without us okay." Daxter replied back getting a laugh from the girls of the group as they we getting more and more transparent
"We know you will both can, just stay safe okay." Weiss stated as she and the other (excluding Hei who was just keeping quite) all began to say their goodbyes for now. Seconds later the group all vanished leaving Jak and Daxter alone
"Hey Daxter you think we will see them again?" Jak asked as he actually felt somewhat sad for his new friend's having to go all of a sudden
"Trust me Jak I know we will call it intuition." Daxter said back with a wide grin as Jak chuckled a little
"I guess so, come on then Daxter the girls, Hei, Hana and Bastion maybe gone but that doesn't mean we're done. Let's go do some racing." Jak stated with a small grin as he and Daxter made their way outside ready for their next mission and they also had a feeling sooner or later they would see their new friends once again
-Meanwhile with Jaune-
"NO PLEASE NO!" An underground rebel screamed out in horror as Jaune thrusted his blade through his heart, the retracted it out as the Rebels body fell on the ground as blood spill out
"Well that takes care of another rebel." Jaune said with small grin as her turned around behind him to look upon the burned remains of a underground rebels base of operation which had man of the rebels bodies on the ground either having been shot by one of the guards in Jaune's group, dismembered by him or currently in the process of dying
"Sir we've cleared out any and if all possible remain cells here of Rebel scum base." Captain Reaver explained with a quick salute
"Excellent Captain, anything else to report?" Jaune asked with a smirk
"Indeed sir, it seem that a smaller platoon of our men were captured by the rebels. They don't have their captain anymore so they are now under my command. Our platoon just got bigger sir." Captain Reaver stated with a proud tone
"That's good to hear…hm Captain where is Private Tanner?" Jaune asked noticing that the suspicious trooper was missing
"He told that he was going to the barrack for a while to rest up since he had a 'headache'. I don't believe he really did but I let him anyways." Captain Reaver said
"I see well like I said before just keep an eye on him." Jaune replied back as Captain Reaver just nodded, but before they could speak another word Jaune began glowing in darkness as he began to become transparent
"Sir what's happening?" Captain Reaver asked in a panic
"I…I don't know?" Jaune answered back worried himself
"Ah so this is happening, do not worry Jaune this is the world rejecting you for time being. The heartless here are the only true one's to have an anchor here you on the other hand do not. Even with all your training with the dark arts you still don't have an anchor to this world yourself, but again do not worry as you'll be able to come back sooner or later. Though you may want to tell the captain you'll be gone for a bit." Ansem explained as Jaune calmed himself down
"I see." Jaune muttered to himself before looked back at Captain Reaver as he became more and more transparent. "Captain Reaver I'll be having to go for a while back to my superiors, but since that is the case you'll be in charge while I'm gone which mean you'll need a title to match. So as one of the baron's agents I hereby grant you the rank of Colonel. Do the platoon proud Colonel Reaver."
"Sir yes sir, I will do my best to wipe these rebels scums out while you are away and to bring honor to this platoon sir!" The newly promoted Colonel Reaver answered back with pride in his tone as Jaune just nodded and with that he disappeared
-Back on the Gummi Ship-
"I spy with my little eye something blue." Ikail said with an amused grin as Dante wondered what it could be
"I'd say... Huh weird I don't see anything blue outside." Dante replied as Ikail giggled
"I win again!" Ikail yelled out joyfully as she looked over to Goofy "How many is that Goofy?"
"That's thirty four for you and zero for Dante." Goofy answered as Dante groaned in slight annoyance
"Geez Dante, you're not great at these games are you?" Donald asked mockingly chuckling
"Laugh it up Do... WAIT A MINUET!" Dante yelled out as he turned his attention back to Ikail "It was Donald you were speaking of, I thought we were picking things in space!"
"You thought that, but I never said that was true Dante." Ikail answered with a bop to Dante's nose and a sly wink
"She got you there Dante, try and be more perceptive next time." Guin stated with an amused tone
"But I...I... Oh forg-" Dante began to answers back but was interrupted as Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang teleported back into their seats. Meanwhile Hana, Hei and a temporary teddy bear sized Bastion appeared behind Dante, Ikail's and Guin's seats without their notice
"Girls you're okay, did everything go well down in that here new world?" Goofy asked as he suddenly took notice of their faces which though seemed to have cuts also seemed to be healing up quickly. "Oh dear, what happened?"
"Yeah tell us, I'm reading that the heartless are still there?" Donald added in with a worried expression
"Well..." Ruby began to say but couldn't explained it fast enough at the moment
"It's okay girls, tak-" Guin began to say thought stopped as he bad the others heard groans from behind
"Hana please get off of me..." Hei asked with a slightly irritated tone as he and Hana who held the bastion got back up
"Well sorry not like I meant...to..." Hana replied back but became dazed along with Hei surprisingly from the others with team RWBY
"Um..."Donald said with surprised confusion
"Boop, vroop?" Bastion shyly replied making everyone else (Other than Team RWBY, Hei and Guin) scream loudly
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ikail, Dante, Donald and Goofy screamed out as Bastion and Hana began doing the same
"AHHHHHHHHH, you all look pretty cool but AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Hana said with shock as the yelled became louder while the girls tried their best to calm the situation down...that is until Guin decided to do it himself this time
"ENOUGH!" Guin yelled out with a tone so loud and deep that the ship vibrated a little from it. Meanwhile everyone else look at him with wide eyes, expect for Hei and Bastion for obvious reasons
"Well... that was something." Hei muttered with slight but barely noticeable shock, meanwhile Guin took a deep breath
"I apologize for that." Guin calmly stated as he turned his attention over to the three new comers "Your names now."
"I-I-I'm Hana Song, the little bot who's actually a big bot is Bastion and gloomy face is Hei...sir." Hana answered as she actually was somewhat frighten of the leopard faced man or more precisely his voice when he yelled
"Man Guin can be scary..." Yang muttered to the girls
"Totally..." Ruby, Weiss and Blake answers back as they all had now realized that even for how nice Guin is, he can be pretty scary when he wants to be
"Ah... How, how did you three get here?" Ikail asked getting out of her stupor
"Yes and don't lie to us, we'll be able to tell... I think." Dante said next
"Not really selling it there Dante old buddy." Yang stated with a deadpanned look
"I know..." Dante quietly replied back as he hung his head down in slight embarrassment
"Anyways these three are with us because their refugees, just like Vladimir was." Weiss explained
"Yep, so we should probably head to Traverse town to drop them off and also get some rest for a few." Blake suggested
"Yeah and maybe we can see what's possibly new with everyone else." Ruby added in happily
"I guess we should, are you ready then?" Donald asked as team RWBY, Dante, Guin, Ikail and Goofy nodded
"Bee, boop?" Bastion asked confused a little
"I don't even need a translator to know what he said." Hei stated "But for real, ready for what?"
"You'll see very soon." Ruby replied back with a toothy grin
"You all shall indeed." Weiss remarked with a toothy grin as well
"Ladies if you don't mind, but is there anything else you'd like to tell us." Goofy asked
"Well..." Ruby said as she looked at Weiss, Blake and Yang who smiled as she smiled back "Yeah a few things, looks lets get back to Traverse town, we'll explain on the way. Right ladies?"
"Totally baby sis." Yang answered with a thumbs up
"Correct." Blake answered next with a smirk
"Absolutely, we'll even take turns telling." Weiss answered last as Ruby wink at her making the heiress heart beat fast in joy
"Geez these two really need to get a room sooner or later." Hana muttered to Ikail who giggled
"Alright everyone hold on onto your seat!" Donald happily yelled out as the Gummie Ship made it's way into the worlds gate. Team RWBY were worried for Jak and Daxter down here, but they also knew they'd see them again. Just then, the Gummie Ship set off back to Traverse town
-Elsewhere-
"Ugh..." moan a young man with short black hair with a wide white strip in the center, tanned skin, a thin goatee along with lastly but strangely a green right eye and an orange left eye. He wore a pair of blue jeans, black shoes, a white short sleeved shirt and a black hooded jacket with a white squared cornered in the center of the chest" My head is...wait where the hell am I ?"
Said young man was inside of his car which was a pure black classic Dodge Charger with some modifications added to it. Where he was location wise was in the desert of sorts. The young man was confused as he then noticed a gas station not only a half a mile away from him. With a smile he looked to see he still had the keys in the ignition and his gas tank
"Half a tank, not good but I think the girl here could use a refill." The young man muttered to himself as he started the car and took off on a mild speed. Once he arrived at the gas station he parked it near a gas pump and turned his car off. But before he could get out of the car, he suddenly heard banging against the trunk of his car
"HELP!" Yelled four muffled voices that sounded like three young girls and one young boy
"Oh you have got to be kidding me!" The young man yelled in shock as he ran up to the trunk and opened it "Are you kids okay?"
"JUMP HIM!" Yelled the voices as the young man was pushed against to the ground by the kids, he kept his eyes closed
"Hey knock it off, I'm the one that got you out!" The young man yelled out as the hitting stopped and he felt the kids get off him
"Oh well sorry then mister...huh what are you anyways?" Asked one of the girls with a kind sounding voice
"What do me-" the Young man asked back but stopped when he opened his eyes to see the four kids... well he thought they were kids at least
The four kids were actually animals. Well three of them were baby ponies or fillies as he remembers from a book on animals. Also one was an actual but also small dragon while the three fillies were all unique in their own way.
The one he guesses asked him what he is, was a white coated unicorn with large green eyes, a pink tail along with a pink mane with a purple swirl
The next was a yellow coated normal pony with a long red mane, a long red tail, large orange eyes and a large red bow on top
The last of the girls was an oranges coated Pegasus with small wings, violet eyes, a purple tail and short purple hair with a flip at the end
The only boy was a short purple scaled dragon with green eyes a lighter purple underbelly along with green fins on top of the head and a little short tail
"Um ya'll okay mister?" Asked the yellow filly with a southern accent
"Maybe we broke him?" Suggested the orange filly with a somewhat tomboyish tone
"If we did how do with fix him?" The dragon asked
"I got an idea." The white filly replied back as she walked up to the young man who was wondering what she was about to do... She slapped him across the face
"Ow, what was that for?!" the young man asked rubbing his cheek
"Sorry I saw it in a movie once." The white filly explained as her friends rolled their eyes
"Look what were you four doing in the trunk of my car anyways?" The young man asked as he now knew this was all too real
"What's a car?" They three fillies and little dragon asked him
"Well what you just came out of alright, look I don't know what's going. Do you four remember anything before ending up in my car?" The young man asked
"Hm well..." The orange filly began saying but stopped
"I think...well... no that's not it..." The yellow filly said next but couldn't come up with an answer either
"Ah... I got nothing." The dragon said next as giving up quickly
"Hm...OH WAIT I REMEMBER NOW!" The white filly yelled out joyfully as the others around her winced a little from her sudden announcement, which she took noticed of "Opp's sorry, but I remember how we got here."
"Well then can tell me, oh wait I just forgot to ask but what are your names anyway?" the young man asked with a small smile
"Well I'm Sweetie Belle!" The white unicorn filly named Sweetie Belle answered happily
"I'm AppleBloom." The normal yellow filly AppleBloom answered next with the equal amount of happiness
"And I'm Scootaloo!" The orange Pegasus filly answered this time as she donned a wide prideful smirk while the dragon rolled his eyes
"I'm Spike." The dragon Spike said kindly as he then looked over to Sweetie Belle "So you mind telling us what you remember please?"
"Oh ah right…my bad." Sweetie Belle replied back with a slight blush on her cheeks before she took a few breathes. "Alright so it started like this….."
-Sweetie Belle's flashback-
"Aw thank Celestia we're out of that carriage." AppleBloom stated with a relieved tone as she, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle we're now walking through Princess Celestia's and Luna's Castel
"Totally and still can't believe they left us in there while we slept. Still I'm sure we can catch up to them in the princess Celestia and Luna's throne room." Scootaloo said next with a wide smirk
"I-I don't know girls…wo-won't they all be you know…mad at us for possibly interrupting them with whatever they're talking about." Sweetie Belle asked nervously as she out of the three fillies was the only one scared of the punishments they could get if that was the case
"Aw don't be such a baby Sweetie Belle, we're going to be fine I promise. Besides The princesses both know we came with the others so no worries." Scootaloo replied back with a reassuring smile that help Sweetie Belle feel better a little bit more
"Totally it's not like we're in any moral danger or whatnot." AppleBloom added in but sadly she said that at the wrong time as the three fillies noticed ahead of them the walls being covered by a purple-blacking dark energy that was coming closer to them
"What is that!?" Sweetie Bella asked in fear
"Who cares run!" Scootaloo answered as she, AppleBloom and Sweetie Belle began to make their way to the main entrance of the castle
The three filly's thankfully made it to the door and to their luck is was a lot less heavy then it looked, the three made their way out into the city Canterlot to see that the situation wasn't just at the castle. It turned out the same darkness was spreading all around the city while small creatures of darkness seemed to be forcing everypony they got their claws on into the darkness itself. Sweetie Belle, AppleBloom and Scootaloo were about to see if they could make a break for it but three of those small dark creatures got a hold of their legs and were trying to drag them into the darkness. Though luck to seem to be at their side as they were saved by one of their close guy friends in the form of Spike.
"Get your stinking claw off them!" Spike yelled out as he blew some of his green fire at the dark creatures making them coward away. Spike sighed in relief as he checked up on the girls "I'm so glad I found you, are you all alright?"
"Yeah…yeah we are spike, thanks?" AppleBloom replied back as she was trying to calm herself down
"No problem, I was about to come down to the carriage anyways to get you girls before well this happened?" Spike explained
"Yeah and I wonder what this is ?." Sweetie Belle said as she and the others began looking around as the darkness around them was slowly creeping around the group while the buildings in the city were torn down by the darkness itself
"Wh-what do we do?" Scootaloo asked as the darkness was creeping closer at closer making the four hug each other in fear
"We can't do anything, I think this is the end." AppleBloom stated as she began to tear up a little before looking at her friends with a small smile "I-I'm glad ya'll got to be my friends."
"Same!" Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo screamed out as they began tearing up as well
"I ah might not hang with you girls much, but I'm glad to know you girls as my friend too." Spike added in last as he, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and AppleBloom hugged each other with their eyes shut as they felt the darkness crawl on their skin until their world was darkness
-End of flashback-
"Then I guess we woke up in your car and now we're here." Sweetie Belle finished explain as she shivered from the resurfaced memory along with her friends who also felt cold from the memory
"I see, well then at least you remember, I can't seem to remember what happened before I got here. I mean I know who I am and where I come from, but the events that lead me here is a no go." The young man answered back as he smirked at the four young ones with him "Oh and my name is Roberto Reyes, though I just go by Robbie."
"Well nice to meet you then Robbie, still what now?" Scootaloo replied back as Robbie got back up on his feet
"Now, well now I got to get some fuel for my car." Robbie answered as his new little friends looked at him confused. "Right, fuel is what keeps my car running and the building here is what supplies me with fuel. I'll go check to see if I can pay inside for the gas out here or not, can I trust you four to stay put next to the car until I get back. It won't be long."
"Now problem Robbie!" Spike answered with a prideful tone as Sweetie Belle, AppleBloom and Scootaloo just nodded. Robbie then made his way over to the gas station to see…. Well to see it looked like someone had broken in. So Robbie took caution as he entered the gas station
"Hello anyone?" Robbie asked as he walked slowly through the abandoned moon lit gas station and as he kept walking he only saw dust and broken pieces of the roof until he tripped
Robbie didn't know what he had tripped on until he got back up and looked back to see a skeleton. With the sudden reveal he got back up and stood a little from the skeleton, but then he realized something about it and knelt down to get a better look. Robbie saw that the skeleton was old, very old, but he also saw a gas tank in the arms. So with that Robbie grabbed the edges of the gas tank and pulled it out of the skeletons hands. Robbie then shook the gas tank close to his ear to see how much was in it and he was happy about it.
"Nice looks like there's enough gas left to fill the tank back up and fill it half way later." Robbie muttered to himself as he walked back out to his car to see Scootaloo, AppleBloom and Spike sitting the back seat of his car which got him worried from how he didn't see Sweetie Belle
"Hey Robbie!" Sweetie Belle yelled out happily walked back up to the car much to Robbie's relief
"There you are, I almost freaked out since I didn't see you with the others." Robbie stated
"Sorry about that but I just though I saw something, Is that the fuel you have?" Sweetie Belle asked as Robbie just nodded and began to pour the gas into his tank
"Yep and this should last us for a while, Sweetie Belle can I ask for you to wait in the car." Robbie asked as Sweetie Belle smiled and did so as she entered to the right of the back seat next to Scootaloo. Robbie by this time was done filling up his tank and put the fuel tank back in the trunk. Once he closed the trunk he suddenly froze as he heard from a distance the sounds of car engines along with a sound he was all too familiar with, he heard the sounds of guns being fired in the distance. With that in mind Robbie quickly got into his car and started it. Though his worries didn't go unnoticed by the others
"Hey Robbie what's wrong?" Spike asked as Robbie turned back to them with a small smile
"Nothing really, just want to get going is all…question is where." Robbie replied back with the best fake smile he could muster up so he wouldn't get the AppleBloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Spike worried. He then looked too see a sign a little above his car that said 'Traverse Town, thirty miles away' and thankfully the sign had an direction arrow pointing forward
"Did you find something Robbie?" AppleBloom asked
"Yeah I did, might as well get comfy kids because this will be a bit of a trip." Robbie replied back as AppleBloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Spike just nodded then went to sleep not even second later. Robbie than stepped on the gas engine as he made his way to whatever this 'Traverse Town' was. He just hoped whatever made those noises of gunfire didn't follow him all the way and if so he hope they were at least somewhat friendly….
How was this chapter because I did take a lot of time to write this one up and I loved every minute of it lol. But yeah team RWBY will be going back to traverse town for the next chapter or two and later on team RWBY will meet all of the characters that have significant importance to the story in Jak and Daxter when they return back to that world trust me. Also the end of this chapter might be confusing but all will be explained eventually, also if you don't know who Robbie is…well you'll see soon that's a promise. Anyways until the next chapter I hope you all have a wonderful day or night! :D
