Four Hearts of One Journey
Ch. 19: Traverse Town adventure Pt.3
It had been a good minuet and a half, as Ruby along with everyone with her still stared at the Punisher who stared at a terrified Ruby. The others had wanted to say something, anything to help; but for some reason felt he wasn't the sort of guy who you'd want to aggravate. Though the looks from Johnny and Stephen helped indicate to just let Ruby deal with this. Yang was very apprehensive of letting Ruby face this new murderous summon of hers alone, but she also knew how her little sister had been dealing with Jungle Hunter so far. So she knew she'd have to have her little sister do this alone, as much she hated to admit that. Yang knew if Ruby was to get this guy's respect for her. Then she'd have to stand her ground with her new summon like she'd been doing with Jungle Hunter; though again that didn't mean Yang had to like it. It was quiet for a bit longer, until the Punisher decided to break the ice.
"Hey kid." The Punisher said sternly, as Ruby snapped out of her fear driven daze a bit
"Um, y-yes?" Ruby asked, trying to keep herself calm and collective as possible
"I asked you a question, so again mind telling me what's going on?" The Punisher asked back, as he seemed to be getting slightly more irritated
"Well… w-what's the magic word?" Ruby asked once more, smiling a little to see if she could ease the irritation her new summon was exhibiting. Though that didn't seem to work as her summon narrowed his eyes a bit more, making Ruby feel even more uncomfortable "Fine, y-you're in Traverse Town. In another world."
"You're serious?" The Punisher asked back, but before Ruby could asked Yang cut in
"She is bucko, now could you notch down the glare your giving my little sister please." Yang sternly asked, not caring anymore as her big sister instincts were kicking in and she was going to help out her little sister "Like now?"
"Hm…" The Punisher simply responded, as he looked at the others to see Johnny and Stephen "Those two I know, the rest of them I don't."
"Oh ah, those are some of our friends and family." Ruby answered, feeling much more confident having her big sister backing her up as she motioned the others to come up. Which they did, though Mister B and Jungle Hunter moved over to Ruby's right. While the others moved near Ruby's left and behind Yang "Anyways, why don't we say our hellos?"
"Really?" Neo asked, but got a slight pout from Ruby making Neo sigh "Fine, I'm Neo."
"I'm Koko and this lovely lady is Valmet." Koko said joyfully as Valmet sheepishly smiled, trying to hide her blush from the compliment
"Oh Koko, that's nice of you to say." Valmet replied, as she was trying to keep calm and keep her overflowing joy at a low from her tone
"Anyways I'm Tai Yang, the father of these two young ladies here." Tai Yang answered now, pointing to Ruby and Yang. Then pointed his thumb to Qrow "This is my brother in law Qrow."
"Sup." Qrow stated, glaring slightly at the Punisher
"And I'm Vert. Oh just to say you ah have a little…" Vert said as she pointed at his vest, which on even closer inspecting actually had a bit of flesh on it
"Oh my…" Ruby muttered as she felt like throwing up, but did a few shuttering deep breaths especially when the Punisher peeled off the piece of flesh and threw it on the ground as it made a splat sound; with some of the blood splattering on the ground
"Ah!" Spike, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, AppleBloom, Huey, Dewey, Louie and even Annie screamed feeling sick from the sight
"Do you mind, kids are here!" Luna angrily asked, as she was growing a quick dislike for the Punisher
"Luna please." Celestia whispered, mostly because she didn't want any unnecessary aggression to start up as the Punisher rolled his eye with indifference; but gave the kids a slight apologetic nod before looking back at the others
"Look, I'm going to be honest but I really don't give a damn about who the rest of you are. If I want to get to know any of you better I will. So until then, all I really want to know is what now." The Punisher bluntly remarked, then looked back at Ruby who coughed to get his attention "What, got braver all of sudden little girl?"
"It's Ruby and I'm fifteen if you must know mister meany." Ruby responded with a pouty glare, as the Punisher stared at her
"Right, you're just emitting maturity." The Punisher replied as Ruby seemed like she was going to start arguing, but then took a few deeper breaths
"Okay… okay, look I know this might be confusing and all. But right now you're in a position that you may not like." Ruby explained as the Punisher scowled just a little
"Really now and if I don't like what I hear. Then that's when thing get bad." The Punisher stated sternly as he moved a little closer to Ruby making her back up a bit nervously. But thankfully for Ruby, Mister B and Jungle Hunter moved up quickly in front of her making the Punisher stop in his tracks as he studied his two new possible adversaries. Then once he was done studying, he looked back at Ruby "So, who are these two?"
"Oh ah, these would your new comrades for a while." Ruby explained as the Punisher seemed to be getting annoyed with receiving vague answers so far. Ruby seeing this, got a bit more nervous as she didn't want to leave a bad impression on her newest summon "Alright, alright sorry. So how do I explain this…ah, oh okay so these two are Mister B and Jungle Hunter; they're my summons. Which now brings me to you, turns out you're my newest summon."
"That so." The Punisher stated as he seemed to be taking this better than most would, but then he gave Ruby a slightly hostile glare "I'm going to say no on that little girl."
"Again, its Ruby and it's not like you have much of a choice. Your stuck with me." Ruby argued, getting slightly irritated with her new summon as he passed by her. The others just watch again, seeing where this was going though Yang was getting very irritated with the Punisher; though Stephen was doing his best to keep his new summoner from doing anything hostile with the man. Johnny was just trying to keep the others from confronting the Punisher, knowing it could go south very quickly if the man was pushed enough and he didn't want any of his new allies to get bullets holes in them. Meanwhile Ruby kept her glare on her new summon, with her temper rising a bit from her summons stubbornness "You can't leave!"
"Watch me." The Punisher responded as he started to head off to one of the districts in a blind attempt to leave the area, but was quickly stopped as he heard from what he could guess his so quote on quote 'summoner' trying to stop him. He stopped in his tracks, as Ruby suddenly reminded him suddenly of a pesky and almost as naive red colored devil themed hero that wouldn't seem to leave him alone when he made it clear to do so. So with that he already figured out a nickname for Ruby, while he still kept his back towards her "You know Red, you really don't want to try and annoy me anymore than you already are."
"I swear if he tries anything." Yang muttered angrily, but Stephen just patted her shoulder
"Trust me, that ain't a good idea to provoke the man. He might not have powers, but from what I've heard of him he's dangerous. Very dangerous." Stephen explained
"So we just stay here and see what happens?" Celestia asked from the other side as the others wondered that too
"For now yeah, if anything happens I'll deal with it." Johnny answered, as the others especially Tia Yang and Qrow didn't seem convinced by that; but accepted it as they could tell Johnny along with Stephen had dealt with people like the Punisher was or people close to it. Meanwhile Ruby was trying her best to get along with her newest summon, even if her temper was being pushed
"Why are you being so stubborn on this?" Ruby asked as the Punisher sighed
"I don't have time for this Red, so stay out of my way." The Punisher replied sternly, as he continued his way out. Only this time Ruby had enough, so she decided to put her foot down on with this new summon of hers
"You better stop or-" Ruby started to say, but stopped when she suddenly realized how threatening she was sounding to someone who had just blown a guy's head off with no hesitation. But it didn't help when she saw the Punisher stop in his tracks, she already could fell a sudden terror grow in her as her new summon turned around glaring at her unamused by her empty threat
"Or?" The Punisher asked as he took two steps towards Ruby, who took two steps back as she was trying her best to keep a strong face "Or else, that's what you were going to say right Red. You were going to say or else?"
"I ah…well I…" Ruby replied back, but couldn't form words as she kept moving back slowly while the Punisher kept slowly walking to her holding his gun in one hand and clenching his other hand in a fist
"Well if its or else, what are you going to do Red. Because if anything other than yelling, it's not going to end well for you. Especially if you give me a reason to hurt you." The Punisher sternly explained as he stopped moving, while Ruby did the same trying to not show her growing fear. But as they stopped, suddenly the Punisher noticed three red dots illuminate on his vest. He and Ruby looked back to see Jungle hunter along with everyone else, even the kids glaring at him. Though out of the group, Johnny was the one who took a step ahead of the group
"You really want to do that... Frank?" Johnny asked smirking, as Frank narrowed his eyes at Johnny; who just to show he was being serious turned into his ghost rider from. Though for anyone who hadn't seen it happen before, it was admittedly horrifying to see the mans skin burn off; then be doused in flames and finally have his shinny white skull show before being enveloped in flames also "Like really, do you want to do that?"
"So… that's what he does." Vert stated wide eyed along with some of the others, aside from Sweetie Bell, Scootaloo, AppleBloom, Spike, Ruby and Yang who had seen a similar feat with Robbie; though were surprised to see another one like Robbie here
"You think everything is on fire?" Neo asked with a smirk, as some of the others looked to her oddly
"Really, your asking that now?" Qrow asked deadpanned as Neo shrugged
"Kind of want to know myself." Celestia remarked as she and Neo gave each other a nod
"Sister?!" Luna said, surprised to hear Celestia talk a bit like how she used to in their more…well more wilder years of early princess hood
"What can you blame me, I mean look at his flank. So nice and frim, I just want to-" Celestia started to say, but was stopped by Koko who elbowed her side lightly
"Your majesty, we have a bit of situation here and have younger company with us too. So maybe keep the dirty talk for a more private time please?" Koko suggested, pointing her thumb to the kids whose ears were being covered by Valmet, a sheepishly smiling Neo and Luna. Though the triplets had thankfully already covered their ears, seeing their friends ears get covered
"Oh ah right, excuse me for my little… statements." Celestia stated in slight embarrassment as she sheepishly laughed
"Wonder if Johnny hear any of that?" Luna asked in a deadpanned tone, while Johnny meanwhile was keeping a serious look on him; though internal sighed as he hear everything said just now
-"Just ignore the fact you just got hit on by a pony princess, just ignore the fact she was checking you out, just also ignore the fact she was probably having lewd thoughts about me… BUT FOR REAL, THE FIRST if I will admit nice sounding WOMAN IN AWHILE THAT HAS SOME INTEREST IN ME HAS TO BE A PONY PRINCESS!"- Johnny thought, screaming internally from that fact as he and the Punisher had a stare off
Most of the group decided it was best probably not to try and do anything even if some of them could just levitate the Punisher or his weapon away. None of them really knew what kind of reaction he could have beforehand, what other possible weapons he could have under that trench coat or if he would shoot off a round from his shotgun if startled which could possible hit who knows. Meanwhile as Johnny and the Punisher continued their stare off, just waiting for a reason for said other to give a go for a fight; Ruby had much going through in her mind.
- "This isn't good, at least when it came to Jungle Hunter he was compliant for the most part. But this guy…Frank, he…I don't know what I can do. He seems like the sort of guy that doesn't take kindly to being pushed around. What do I do…."- Ruby thought, feeling helpless at taking control of the situation; until someone decided to answer back
- "Stop feeling helpless and do something damn you!"- A older woman yelled sternly, as Ruby was startled for a few seconds
"But-" Ruby muttered back by instinct to the voice, but was cut off quickly
- "NO BUTS YOU WEALKING, NO BUT, IF'S OR ANDS. DO SOMETHING OR YOUR JUST ABOUT AS GOOD AS THAT WORTHLESS MOTHER YOU THINK ABOUT AT TIMES!" The woman screamed back as Ruby suddenly clenched her fist a bit, which made the voice chuckled
"What did you say?" Ruby asked out loud, getting the attention or everyone around them
"Ruby?" Yang asked curiously at her baby sisters statement, but Ruby didn't care if she had just been heard as her attention was now solely on the woman's voice in her head
- "Oh did I touch a nerve, that must have hurt…just like how it must have hurt when you hear mommy died all those years ago. You know because she was weak just like you." The woman joked with a sicken joy as Ruby clenched her fists s bit harder, not even registering the feeling of having something come out of her back and the feeling of claws dig into the skin of her shoulders. She was getting too mad to take notice of this, along with not taking notice of Frank passing by a confused Johnny and walking up closer to her much to the groups discomfort
"Hey Red, what you on about?" Frank asked sternly as he looked her right in the face with her sliver eyes looking down on the ground, he then flicked her head making the group almost lunge at him while Ruby didn't respond
"Stay away from my daughter…" Tai Yang muttered angrily, as he and Qrow were ready to attack Frank in an instant
"It will be fine." Valmet muttered, though readied her gun just in case, while Frank kept staring at Ruby who seemed to get angrier for some reason
"Hey, you in there or what Red?" Frank asked once more, a bit confused on why Ruby was getting so angry all of sudden
"Shut up…" Ruby stated in hostile manner, as her body shook a bit while Frank scowled
"What the hell did you say to me, hey I'm tal-" Frank angrily asked, only to be cut off by Ruby who delivered a solid sucker punch right into his face. The hit was so hard and direct, that it launched Frank onto the ground hard as he nose started to bleed a little
"Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about!" Neo chanted proudly, as Koko, Valmet, Qrow and even Vert nodded in agreement
"That's not good." Stephen stated worriedly
"What do you mean mister?" AppleBloom asked wordily herself
"Let's just say she better hope that knocked him out." Stephen explained as he was getting a spell or two ready just incase Frank was still conscious
"Ruby why did you do that?" Yang asked, worried at what might happen next
"I… I…" Ruby tried to respond back, having no idea how to explain the mental argument she was just having with that vile women in her mind
- "Have fun…"- The woman in Ruby's mind whispered sadistically, before becoming faint in Ruby's mind
"Wh-" Ruby asked in sudden confusion, only for her to be cut off as she received a right hook across her face from Frank making her fall to the ground
"Not smart Red." Frank furiously stated, as he walked up to Ruby who was just now trying to get back up. Frank kicked her in the face making Ruby almost fall back to the ground, but caught herself a second earlier. Frank then was about to stomp his right boot down on Ruby's back. Only he never did, as Yang rammed right into him full speed
"NO!" Yang screamed, but Frank quickly knee her stomach making Yang let go. Then he aimed his gun at Yang, pulling the trigger to shot her. Yang quickly closed her eyes, but the shots didn't hit her and instead hit Jungle Hunter who ran in front of Yang taking the full force of the attack right at his stomach
"RAHH!" Jungle Hunter screamed in sudden pain, as green blood poured from his new wounds. Frank not thinking through his actions then chambered another shell into his shotgun ready to do the kill shot on Jungle Hunter. Only for Frank to realize he was frozen in a golden aura suddenly
"That's quiet enough out of you beast." Celestia said with a stern gaze as she, Luna and the others quickly moved up behind Ruby. Koko, Valmet, Qrow and Yang helped up Jungle Hunter since he was well very heavy. The kids meanwhile moved up too, only for Luna to move her wing in front of them in a protective manner. Vert had her spear out aimed right at Franks chest along with Neo doing the same with her parasol, while Stephen helped out Celestia with her spell by doing a binding spell of his own. AppleBloom, Scootaloo and Spike glared at Frank angrily. While Annie and Sweetie Belle surprisingly readied a magic based attack to use just in case. Johnny and Mister B meanwhile helped up Ruby, who was rubbing her sore cheek
"You okay, sorry I didn't do anything. Just happen so fast." Johnny explained as Ruby gave him a small reassuring smile, while Mister B quickly dusted her cape off and then patted her head. Ruby smiled at her first summoned, as she patted his arm as a thank you before looking back at Johnny
"Hey it's no problem, still I'm surprised you're like Robbie. Though you seem to be more in control." Ruby stated kindly, as Johnny did the nicest demonic chuckle he could. Only seconds after did Ruby, Mister B and Johnny's attention turn back to Frank along with the everyone else. Ruby taking a deep breath as she walked up closer to Frank looking him straight in the eyes, while Frank stared back at her unfazed though a bit irritated "So, let's try this again Frank. I'm Ruby, I'm your summoner; but I can be your friend too and this partnership can go much easier if you just listen. So please, just listen… please."
"Hm…" Frank responded as he hated to admit it, but he was outmatched at the moment. With only a shotgun, a few rounds and nothing else he could only do so much before he was taken down by these people. He though also had to admit it to Ruby, but she knew when to take advantage of a situation in her favor. So with a sigh, he swallowed his pride while his stare soften towards Ruby "Fine Red, fine. But let's get one thing straight. I ain't your slave, got it."
"Sure." Ruby said, still glaring at Frank but was happy they had come to an agreement if an uneasy one. She looked back at Celestia and Stephen with a kind smile "It's okay, he won't be a problem."
"Really, no really?" Stephen asked with a raised eyebrow, as Celestia sighed but released her spell on Frank "Come on, you can't seriously think this is smart to do?"
"I don't but… I have faith in Ruby's judgement Stephen." Celestia answered with a small smile, as Stephen looked at her, then Ruby; then Frank before sighing too and releasing his spell
"Fine, but if this back fires I am saying I told you so." Stephen explained as he released his spell on Frank, who fell onto his feet back on the ground before looking to Yang "No offense to your little sister, but you sure she's in the right state of mind?"
"She is, she's just a forgiving girl. "Yang answered as she worriedly frowned at Ruby who was staring at Frank who was getting back up slowly – "Maybe a little too forgiving at times… swear if Frank hurts Ruby again I'm gonna kill him. No STOP, bad thinking. No thinking of killing."-
"Alright, now what?" Frank asked as he saw Jungle Hunter staring at him still along with Mister B's port holes in his mask light up yellow to red then back to yellow every few seconds
"Well first you apologize to Jungle Hunter." Ruby stated as Jungle Hunter who now being only held up by Qrow and Valmet moved up near him
"Yeah, trust me big guy here doesn't seem like one to keep ticked of at you." Qrow remarked as Jungle Hunter growled a bit
"Oh yeah, and drill hand over there seems like same way." Valmet remarked as Mister B's growled a bit and activated his drill for a few seconds to get the message across
"Whatever." Frank replied, though could already tell Ruby would pester him into apologizing so to avoid a bigger headache; he decided to do so with Jungle Hunter first "So…sorry."
"Whatever, but a word of advice… Frank. You better watch it or I'll kill you slowly." Jungle Hunter explained as he popped out his wrist blade which barely pushed against the soft tissue under Franks neck. He and Frank glared at one another, before Jungle Hunter retracted his blade. Then he motioned Qrow and Valmet to let him go, which they did as Jungle Hunter stood up the best he could while holding his left hand over his slightly still bleeding wounds
"Noted."Frank responded as he then looked over to Mister B "You gonna threaten me or we gonna be fine?"
"Grrh…" Mister B growled, before his eye ports finally just stayed on yellow
"I think that's the best your gonna get." Scootaloo suddenly said as Frank gave her an unamused glared, making the young Pegasus Filly shyly look away "I mean… ah… never mind."
"That's what I thought." Frank stated, as an awkward silence took over for a few more seconds
"So, I think I'll see how our boys are doing." Koko said suddenly, as she looked to Valmet "Mind joining me?"
"Of course!" Valmet quickly replied with a wide smile "And I'll see if I can get any of the boys to help move the dead body of Suits."
"I think me and Celestia will join you too." Neo said happily as Celestia nodded in agreement, though looked at Suits dead body hoping it would get moved away from sight soon
"I'll come too!" Vert stated next with a wide smile
"Hey if they have some alcohol or something along those lines. I'm game." Qrow remarked as he took his flask out, taking one big sip out of it "Since just now, I'm out."
"Then I guess I'll come too, again to make sure you do get yourself stupidly drunk or at least do something stupid when you get drunk." Tai Yang said with a sigh
"I got nothing better to do. So I'll come too." Johnny answered, as he decided to stay in his Ghost Rider from for a bit
"Oh well…more the merrier." Valmet replied, though sighed a bit as she had wanted to take this time to get closer to Koko even more
"Don't worry hun, just think of me and the girls at least as your wing crew." Vert whispered happily, as Celestia and Neo smirked
"Ah, okay then." Valmet whispered back with an appreciative smile, while Qrow, Johnny and Tai Yang passed by them
"Well come on, booze awaits!" Qrow yelled in a jolly tone as he made his way over to Sids shop; since that was where Koko's boys still were at
"Yep and stay safe girls okay?" Tai Yang asked as Ruby and Yang nodded, then he followed behind Qrow with Johnny following behind them. Neo, Koko, Valmet, Vert and Celestia who gave Luna a quick nuzzle followed then too leaving the others alone
"Well, now what to do?" Yang asked as suddenly Jungle Hunter roared making the others look to see him using one of his medi kits on himself; with his wounds healing up quickly
"Glad I made more." Jungle Hunter said
"Um… w-what just happened?" Sweetie Bell asked as she, AppleBloom and even Scootaloo got nervous from seeing what Jungle Hunter just did
"I don't know, but that super cool!" Spike remarked
"Yeah it was Spike." Ruby kindly said kindly as she moved over to the kids kneeling down next to them, while Annie moved back over to Yang and Stephen, along with Luna doing the same. Ruby smiled warmly at the kids "Anyways, why don't you go to the third district. Trust me you'll be happy you did so."
"Really?" The kids asked, all of them wondering what could be there that would make them happy since most of their sprits were down from seeing a lot of bloodshed in the short time they were in the first district
"Oh yeah trust us, you really will be." Yang responded with a wide smile and a thumbs up "But just stay safe and if you see any heartless find one of us or any of the adults Okay?"
"Okay!" Huey, Dewy, Louie, Spike, AppleBloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell happily replied as they made their way off to the third district. Leaving the girls and their summons alone now
"Alright, so now that we're done will all the hellos and shit. Now what?" Frank asked this time as Ruby sighed
"How about we just see how the others are doing, also no swearing." Ruby answered as Frank rolled his eyes, then Ruby looked back over to Yang "Sis, that sound good to you?"
"Sure does, Luna, Annie, Stephen?" Yang kindly asked her summons
"I would love to join you and your sister Yang." Luna happily replied
"Same!" Annie replied next
"Better than nothing and if it means keeping me out of that gem I came from for a while. No arguments here." Stephen answered, as he then looked at Annie and Luna "Besides, I'd like to learn more about my new comrade's magic."
"Oh Mr. Strange, at least take a lady out to dinner first before getting to the intimacy." Luna said with a smile and a wink
"Right…" Stephen responded wide eyed a little – "Okay, well may not be the type of royalty I was expecting. But… getting hit on by royalty, even if it's a pony princess. Guess I can check off on my bucket list."-
"What's he talking about?" Annie asked
"You'll learn when you're older and grown some more in certain areas around the ages of twelve to thirteen." Stephen answered quickly, patting Annie's head getting a laugh out of Yang and Luna while Annie pouted a bit
"So boy's we all good?" Ruby asked, wanting to make sure her summons or at least Jungle Hunter and Mister B were fine enough with Frank
"Grrhh." Jungle Hunter growled as Mister B port holes kept glowing yellow
"Yeah… yeah I think were fine enough Red." Frank answered as he slightly tighten the grip around his shotgun "Just fine."
"Okay then. Lets just get going, sis come on let's see if we can meet up with Blake in the second district. Then maybe see my sweet Weiss if she's not in the same district Blakes in." Ruby said happily, if only to keep down her growing fear of her summons trying to kill each other or at least Frank trying to kill her other two summons; while Jungle Hunter and Mister B did vice versa with Frank
"Well I do miss holding my kitten." Yang happily remarked
"Then let's go!" Ruby joyfully said as she started to skip to the district two entrance, followed by Mister B whose port holes turned back to green finally and Jungle hunter who quickly elbowed Franks shoulder followed by a growl as he passed by the man
"What the hell did I get into?" Frank asked in annoyance as Luna and Annie pass by him too with glared of distrust, though Luna kept her wing over Annie's shoulders as they passed by. Then finally Yang stopped next to him, along with Stephen making Frank raise an eyebrow "Something you need?"
"Yeah there is, look my little sister Ruby is a very kind, caring and accepting girl. One that can be too forgiving at times, especially with people like you. Sure you can act tough all you want, you can threaten and even scream if you want. But if and I want you to get this through that thick skull of yours, but if you ever lay a hand on Ruby, me or any of the others I promise I'll make you suffer agonizing pain. You won't die from it, but I'll mess you up enough that you'll remember not to try hurting any of us. Got it." Yang explained sternly as her eyes went red for a few seconds, before going back to their normal iliac coloring. Yang then pushed Frank out of the way as she followed the others, but gave Frank one last death glare before disappearing at the stairway
"You got ways with women don't you Frank?" Stephen asked with a small smirk as Frank glare back
"Fuck off Strange." Frank responded sternly as Stephen shrugged and followed where the others had went. Frank just growled in frustration with the situation he was in, though then took notice of something glowing from the headless Suits corpse. He walked over and took it out to see it was a clear, thin and long bottle with a picture of a crow in the center along with a crow head cork. The bottle had the words0 'Murder of Crows' on a label. The liquid inside the bottle was that of a light blue color, had a name tag on it and a letter. Frank took the letter attached to the bottle and started to read it
To anyone reading this letter, mean's I'm dead and you looted my corpse. Good on ya, even though I might be a proud monstrous human being I am fair in ways. So whoever killed me and found this bottle can keep it or give to a friend or whatever. Odd thing was a portal opened up after I meet the little monster of darkness that fused within me. Just popped out this bottle oddly enough, don't know what it does; but I was saving it for a special occasion whenever one was to arise. Still, if you killed me then just take the bottle. Least to do for payment of whoever finally was able to off me… even if you are kind of bloody prick for doing it.
Sincerely, Suits
P.S: I'll see my killer in hell
"Well, that's something. Might as well give it Red and maybe that will get her off my back a little." Frank muttered as he pocketed the bottle with the letter. Then followed where the others along with his so called summoner went, but he already knew this was going to be a time of headaches and annoyances
-District 2: A few minutes earlier-
"So… Adam correct?" Kali asked as she, Ghira, Blake, Motoko and Zilla sat on the opposite side of Adam who was sitting on his knees at this point. Weiss, Winter, Metabee, M1-4X, Freinder, Guin, Dante, Donald, Goofy sat on the right of Blakes group having come in minutes before
Though Blake had taken notice of some other folks that had been with Weiss group splinter off and go into the hotel seeming tired. Weiss just quietly told Blake she'd explain it when Ruby and Yang joined with the. Freinder meanwhile sat next to Weiss in a protective manner as Weiss petted the metallic dogs head. Though Donald and Goofy had joined with the two groups also, which gave Winter a sight fright at how animalist they were. Even Ghira and Kali were surprised too, still having a hard time believing the two weren't Faunas. The girls new two summons seem to just go with it, if not studying Donald and Goofy for a few seconds.
"Yes ma'am, something you need?" Adam asked, as his sunglasses had reverted back showing his eyes once more
"Well I just wanted to say again thank you for helping us." Kali responded as Adam nodded
"Just doing my job ma'am." Adam replied
"Don't be so humble big guy, you really did help out our friends here." Donald stated, before trying his attention to Blake "Sorry again for not coming to help."
"Yep, feel mighty right down on that." Goofy said next, as he and Donald hung their heads down shamefully, though Blake patted the top of their heads gentle as they looked up to her
"Its okay boys, it's not like you could have been able to do much since it was I guess in a confined space in a sperate time zone all together." Blake kindly explained
"Indeed, so chins up. Besides Donald didn't you say our ship runs on smiles?" Weiss asked as she and Blake did the same smiles the day they first set off on the adventure. Which worked, as Donald and Goofy got a good laugh out of along with the others who laughed a little at the interaction other than Winter who scoffed; which got the groups attention quickly
"Something wrong?" Metabee asked irritably
"Just find the two Faunus rejects a bit childish is all." Winter explained
"Who you calling childish lady?" Donald asked angrily
"Donald calm down kay." Weiss suggested kindly, before looking back over to her big sister "Winter please refrain from insulting my friends here. Please."
"I was just saying is all Weiss, not my fault if those two can't take some words." Winter explained sternly
"You know, it might be beneficial to you if you cease your insults and try getting along with us." Guin stated sternly back as Winter glared at him
"How about this, when you can take that mask of yours off then I'll try that." Winter suggested smugly as Guin barley tightened his fist in a rare case of anger rising in him; thankfully for Guin he had people to back him up
"You know miss, compared to you Weiss seems to have turned out the better one." Motoko remarked as Winter turned her glare over to her
"What did you just say?" Winter asked with a dead serious tone
"You heard me and can you blame me for saying so. I mean out of the whole time I've been around you so far I can already tell you're just a stick up the ass woman who wants to have total control of everything. Maybe because daddy didn't love you enough." Motoko explained smirking as Winter tensed up a little
"Nice one Motoko, nice one!" Metabee said as he laughed at Winter getting shut up so quickly
"You're not helping the situation." M1-4X stated as Metabee stopped laughing and sighed in annoyance
"Oh come on big guy, after the way she's been this is way too good to not laugh at." Metabee explained, until Kali hit him on the head too "Ow, for real why?"
"Behave please." Kali kindly asked with a warm smile, as Metabee wanted to argue, but decided not to. Kali smiled a little, before looking back at the Motoko and Winter "Good, now ladies please let's keep this civil."
"Yes civil would be nice." Dante interjected as Motoko and Winter glared at one another still making an awkward tension at the moment, until footsteps could be heard
"Yo what's up people!" Yang happily asked as she her summons Luna and Annie followed behind, though a newer summon of a middle age man seemed to be following next to Yang. Behind them Ruby was with Mister B and Jungle Hunter, though as the group watched them come closer Weiss took immediate notice of the hit mark on right side of Ruby's face. Once Ruby, Yang and their summons made their way up Weiss immediately ran up to Ruby
"Ruby sweetie what happen to your face?" Weiss asked as she lead Ruby over to the others
"Yeah look's like you took a hit." Ghira responded as he, Kali, Winter and Adam stared at Jungle Hunter, Luna and Mister B oddly
"I'd rather not talk about it." Ruby answered shyly as she gave Weiss a reassuring kiss on the lips, which made Winter tense up once more even if she was trying her best to hide it at the moment
"You sure, cause that looks nasty." Donald asked as casted a heal spell onto Ruby's cheek, healing it up quick "There we go, all better."
"Thanks Donald." Ruby stated kindly as Weiss moved Ruby and her summons over to her own spot. Blake meanwhile did the same with Yang, as they both of them got comfortable with one another making Kali at least tense up herself from how much she didn't like the interactions between the two. Once seated down, Ikail broke the silence before it could start up
"Anyways, Ruby for real how did you get that nasty bruise from?" Ikail asked concernly
"I…look it's nothing really." Ruby answered with a sheepish smile, mostly because she wanted to like her new summons Frank and she wanted him to not be looked down upon like Jungle Hunter was somewhat with some of the folks in Traverse Town already
"You know we'll keep asking anyways, right?" Guin explained as Ruby sighed, but still didn't want to say anything
"Ask Ruby's new summon." Yang answered as Ruby glared at her a bit
"Yang!" Ruby yelled irritably as Yang shrugged
"Hey don't get mad at me, I'm your big sister and that guy is asking for it already." Yang responded as she was not sorry for ratting out the jerk of a summon Ruby now had, Jungle Hunter was way batter company that Frank was in her own opinion
"You still didn't have to-" Ruby started to say, but was cut off by Weiss
"Oh my poor sweet rose, what kind of heartless summon would hit such a cutie like you!" Weiss said as she was dotting on Ruby, kissing her face as Ruby just let her girlfriend do so since she was really enjoying it
"Ugh, this is gonna be an eyesore I swear it will be." Winter muttered as Luna, Annie and Ikail overheard this and glared at the woman, while moving next to her to do so "What?"
"Tis would kindly ask if you thous or… if you would cease insulting our friends like that." Luna asked quietly, while the others watch Weiss fond over Ruby to help make her girlfriend feel better from being hit
"Yeah, you're a mean lady. You'll probably die alone." Annie quietly stated as Ikail, Luna and Winter stared at her oddly for a few moments
"Okay… but yeah, just back off lady. Besides I think Weiss and Ruby make such an adorable couple." Ikail whispered as she smirked at Winter who just rolled her eyes not wanting to deal with this at the moment while Weiss still was fonding over Ruby
"You know you little sister is something else." Stephen stated as he, Yang and Jungle Hunter moved over near where Dante along with the others were
"Yes I have to say she is, but seems nice enough." Ghira stated next as he, Jensen and Kali moved over near them
"Oh you guys have no idea." Yang said proudly as she smiled at the sight of her little sister being dotted on by Weiss while Mister B stood behind Ruby as the always present metal guardian he was. Yang then looked to see Kali being quiet, so as a way of getting to know her future mother in law even if the woman didn't seem fond of her; she broken the ice quietly "So…miss Belladonna, enjoying this place so far?"
"Hm…oh yes, yes I am Yang was it. The human that's dating my daughter who is the one your holding in your arm right now." Kali answered with a passive aggressive tone as Yang sheepishly smiled
"Well mom, she's got a good grip. A very good grip." Blake responded smirking, as she then nuzzled her nose against Yang's before they kissed and then parted their lips away as Blake then got herself comfortable against Yang's neck. Kali just stayed quiet, glaring at Yang as she clenched her firsts
"Miss, you okay?" Dante asked, as he and the rest took notice of Kali's current demeanor
"I don't think she is." Jensen responded as Zilla slowly hid herself behind Ikail, Guin and Goofy. Freinder himself laid next to Zilla to help the lizard baby feel better. Meanwhile Winter was trying to ignore the glares from Luna, Annie and Ikail who were enjoying making the woman feel irritated since her attitude so far had been little to desire
"No…no I'm fine." Kali stated as she made a creepy fake smile while trying to ignore on how the uneasiness her daughter relationship with Yang was really making her feel –"No calm down Kali maybe…maybe Yang is not like all the other humans. She might be different…. OH I HATE THAT MY KITTEN IS GOING OUT WITH A HUMAN WOMAN OF ALL THINGS. UGH, HOW DID I NEVER SEE THE SIGNS?!"-
"Right…"Stephen answered as he looked back to see Weiss still dotting over Ruby "They're still at it."
"Seems like those two have a love that is unbreakable." Guin said as the others nodded in agreement with him
"Defiantly, like Blake and Yang here have." Goofy remarked as the girls gave him a nod
"We sure do as well Goofy, we sure do." Blake replied, before wondering something "Huh, kind of curious on this, but where is Ruby's new summon anyways?"
"You know I'm wondering that too, probably off killing some more." Yang answered angrily, the others were wanting to ask about what she just said; but before any of them could footsteps could be heard. They along with everyone else in the area took immediate notice. Though to anyone outside of Yang, Ruby and their summons; what they saw was a man in black with a large painted skull on his chest along with wielding a shotgun walking up to them. Though as Weiss, Ruby and Mister B back up to the others; they were met with the sight of the man that had some dry blood on his vest along a little under his nose. The man stopped as he looked at Ruby, who look back at him both with a slight glare
"Frank." Ruby said, trying to get over the fact her newest summon had one killed a person in cold blood, two disregarded the situation like it was nothing and the three was that she was still sore about getting a right hook to the face even if she hit him first given Frank a bloody nose that had thankfully stopped bleeding. Ruby sighed and smiled just a little "Good to see your nose stopped bleeding."
"Yeah, no thanks to you Red." Frank answered, before Weiss cut in
"Now hold on a second, Ruby dear who is this?" Weiss asked as she eyed Frank warily
"I think most of us would like to know." Adam muttered as he along with the others, even the ones who were meeting Frank for the first time all quietly readied their weapons; as they could feel the deadly vibe Frank was giving off
"Weiss…. this is my new summon." Ruby answered, as Weiss immediately glared back at Frank
Oh so this is your new summon, the one that hit and gave you a bruised cheek." Weiss stated angrily as Frank already could tell that Weiss was not too fond of him; though he didn't really care "What the big idea hitting my girlfriend across the cheek you brute?"
"You know scars I am really not in mood for this, I already had to deal with some other jackasses." Frank answered as he looked at the rest of Ruby's summons, Yang's summons and Yang herself. All of them, aside from Jungle Hunter and Mister B visibly glaring back at Frank as they really didn't care much from him so far either. Frank just kept his glare on them for a few more seconds, before looking back at Weiss "So, I'm going kindly ask you to back off."
"Why you-" Weiss started to yell back for the nickname her girlfriends new summon just gave her and the rude manners this summon had. But, she stopped as she felt Ruby hold her hand tightly. Weiss quickly looked to see Ruby giving her a quiet pleading look to just let it go. Weiss wanted to argue, but in the end decided to go with her girlfriends plead as she took in a deep breath before looking back at Frank once more "Fine I'll back off, but just so you know I'm watching you Frank so try and behaved."
"Yeah, yeah." Frank replied as Weiss scowled, but before anything else could be said Metabee patted her left arm
"Hm, Metabee do you need something?" Weiss kindly asked as Metabee eyes were dimming out
"Y-Yeah, I think I need to rest up my circuities for a bit." Metabee answered, as Annie suddenly yawned, before the others aside from M1-4X, Motoko and Mister B yawned
"It seems like everyone here needs some rest." Donald said
"I think you're right Donald. But our newest summons don't from what I can see." Ruby answered as she saw Weiss new summon, Blakes new Summon, Stephen and Frank were not tired
"Guess so Ruby, ladies shall we." Blake stated kindly as she and the girls pulled out two of their summons gems each. With that a bring light shined, before dimming down showing only the girls, their group, their new summons, Winter, Ghira and Kali left
"Huh, that's handy." Winter remarked before getting up and yawning suddenly herself "I think I'll head into that hotel behind us. See what rooming I can get and hope it's alone or with someone who seems to have a brain."
"I guess we'll join you then." Ghira said as he yawned himself a little, along with Kali too. Though after the yawn, Ghira glared at Winter "If you don't mind having to Faunus with you?"
"Of course not, just keep a good foot away from me okay?" Winter asked with a mocking kind tone as she made her way off to the hotel. Ghira and Kali just scowled a bit, before making their way off also; but not before they both gave Blake a quick kiss on the top of her head
"Well I think they got the right idea, I think some rest could help with my headache currently." Dante said as he rubbed his forehead
"You okay dude?" Yang asked as she and the girls gave him a worried look. Dante smiled a little, appreciating the girls concern for him
"It's nothing, just haven't had a decent rest in a while even at our previous times here." Dante explained as he got off, then made his way off which after he disappeared from sight Guin and Ikail got back up themselves
"You both going to rest up too?" Weiss asked, as wrapped her hands around Ruby's waist, while Ruby rested her face against Weiss collar bone trying to take a moment to rest her eyes just a little
"Yep, I think we've earn a rest." Ikail kindly said, before patting the top of the girl's head like a much older sister "You all just stay safe okay?"
"We will Ikail, promise. You and Guin just get some good rest." Ruby replied back as she gave Guin and Ikail a small smile while still resting her head against Weiss collar bone
"That we'll do." Guin responded as he looked to Donald and Goofy "Keep them safe."
"Don't worry Guin, you can count on us!" Goofy and Donald answered proudly as the girls nodded in agreement. Then with that he and Ikail made their way off, once gone only the girls, their summons, Donald and Goofy were left
"So, now what?" Donald asked
"How about we get new friends a run down at what happened with us." Adam suggested
"Sounds like a plan to me." Stephen remarked taking a seat on the ground next to Yang and Blake; while Adam moved over onto Blake side
"Okay but where do we start?" Weiss asked as she took a seat now, with Freinder moving next to her, while Ruby petted the top his head to get better acquainted with her girlfriends newest summon
"How about you start of where you and Blake told us when we first got here." Donald suggested
"Hm, I guess that would work." Blake stated "Though I'm guessing you and Ruby had your fair share of trouble. Especially since Frank here has blood still on him."
"Yeah can we ask if maybe you could clean up somehow?" Ruby asked kindly, but with a slight stern tone as Frank sat down next to her while placing his shotgun onto the ground to his right
"Unless any of you got wipes or some towels. That ain't gonna happen so you'll have to deal with it." Frank answered bluntly
"Do you have to be so blunt?" Blake asked, already getting irritated by Frank
"Do you have to look like a fetish freak with those cat ears?" Frank asked back, which got a bad reaction out of Yang
"What did you just say you son of a-" Yang yelled, as she got up to attack Frank for insulting her girlfriend; but as she started her charge Frank pulled his shotgun back into his left hand as he placed his finger barley against the trigger making Yang stop as the others tenses up a little
"Go ahead, give me a reason to shot you." Frank sternly remarked as Yang scowled at him, while Blake and Weiss were ready to summon their keyblades. Adam was getting his hidden arm blades ready, Stephen was forming a small spell in his left hand behind his back and Freinder growled at the man with the intent of killing him if needed. Yang then sat back down, knowing her little sister didn't want anymore confrontation for a while. With that Frank placed his shotgun back onto the ground "Yeah that's what I thought you blonde little bitch."
"Frank I know your in a bad mood, but-" Ruby started to say, but was cut off by Frank
"Yeah bad mood, again no thanks to you Red." Frank remarked with an amused mocking smirk, making Ruby clench her fists a little before she took a calm breath
"As I was saying, I know you're in a bad mood. But can you please not try to take it out on everyone else and apologies to my friend Blake and my big sister please." Ruby said as she and Frank stared at one another, with Ruby seeing that Frank was trying to intimidate her. But she would not allow Frank to do so as she kept a stern gaze
"Fine." Frank stated, as he had to admit that even if Ruby was annoying so far; that the girl had guts and he had give her credit that she was keeping her cool so much. Frank then looked to Blake Yang, though only Blake was smirking smugly a little making him growl a bit in annoyance "Sorry."
"Yeah whatever jerk." Yang answered first, but smiled once more as she could see what her girlfriend was going to do
"Hm, what was that you were mumbling." Blake asked smirking wider, while Yang was snickering. Frank just took a deep breath and decided to humor the cat ear brat
"Sorry." Frank answered sternly "Though with those extra ears you could hear better, but I guess not."
"Hm, well good enough I guess." Blake responded, as Yang hugged her a little tighter to tell that she found it amusing. Blake just smiled back, as she kissed Yang's cheeks as a thank you
"Yep, good enough." Ruby said as Weiss moved Ruby's head back to her collar bone to rest her head against, but then noticed Frank snap his fingers "Something on your mind buddy?"
"Yeah…" Frank responded as he felt uneasy to be referred to as buddy, then pulled the vial of liquid out of his trench coat "This is for you Red."
"For me, where did you get it?" Ruby asked, as she eyed the strange crow shaped bottle
"From Suits dead body, I saw it glow a bit from his coat and it even had a note. Here take it." Frank said as Ruby took the bottle, then read the note which Weiss, Blake and Yang moved over to read too. Once done reading, Ruby and Yang shivered a bit in slight fear
"Ugh, that guy even creeps us out after he's dead." Yang remarked
"Yeah…" Ruby remarked as she kept an eye on the bottle
"You think we should burn it?" Blake asked "I mean just from how your girls reacted reading that guys note. He's seems bad."
"Indeed, seems like it could be poisoned." Weiss stated worriedly
"Well if that's the case then burning it might not be the best idea." Adam said as he moved next to the girls "Who knows if whatever is in there has aerial capabilities. You never know when it comes to crazies."
"So should we freeze it then?" Donald asked moving next to Adam and the girls "I could probably find a spot after to burry it."
"Yeah, I can do the digging too!" Goofy happily said
"That might not be a good idea either, think what would happen if someone else found it." Stephen explained "I could send it off into a small dimensional vortex."
"That could work." Weiss replied happily
"Yeah, if and I'm saying if I knew the spell. That's like one of the only few I didn't get around to learning yet. Still kind of new to my whole sorcerer supreme duties." Stephan explained once more
"Really, you could have just said that in the first place." Weiss responded with a deadpanned tone, before looking to Yang "Yang your summon is not helpful at the moment."
"Oh be nice Weiss, I'm sure he didn't mean to leave that out and bring our hopes up." Yang replied kindly, before turning her attention to Stephen "Right?"
"No, I just wanted to for once. Been a while since I had this much time to make some good jokes." Stephen answered happily "Totally worth it."
"Well I guess you and your new summon have something common, you're both jokers." Blake remarked in amusement while Weiss, Donald, Adam and Freinder who was standing up now nodded in agreement; though Freinder did more of a quick bark in agreement
"Hm I wonder…" Ruby muttered as she saw the others speaking with one another now, though noticed her summon was resting his eyes as he laid his body on the ground. She looked at the bottle, feeling thirsty a bit as the blue glowing liquid did look like a fruit drink. So she just shrugged as she pulled of the bottles crow cork off, then drank away as the others were still talking
"So, then we're all in agreement we should just put in a safe until we can figure out what to do with it?" Weiss asked as the others nodded in agreement, with that Weiss happily clasped her hands "Good to know then, now Ruby dear please give us the…"
"Hm?" Ruby asked as she had just finished the last dropped of the drink and noticed the others aside from Frank staring at her "Um…something wrong?"
"RUBY!" Weiss, Blake and Yang screamed worriedly as they started to slam Ruby's back
"Ow what are you doing girls?" Ruby asked as Adam, Stephen, Freinder, Donald and Goofy back up to let the girls do their things; Frank still was trying to ignore what was going on to get some quick shut eye
"SPITE IT OUT RIGHT NOW!" Yang screamed as she was trying to get her sister to throw up the mysterious liquid
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?" Blake asked as she was mad and worried about Ruby's well being
"DOLT, YOU'RE GIVING ME A PANIC ATTACK!" Weiss yelled as she was in panic for her girlfriends health
"I was thirsty and look good!" Ruby answered as the girls hit her back a few more times, before stopping "Sorry…"
"It's fine, it's fine just don't ever do something like that again." Yang responded "I just hope nothing is going to go wrong now."
"Well since I was doctor, I can tell you already she'll be fine. She's showing no signs of sweating, vomiting or any sort of indicating symptoms that come with consuming unknown liquids." Stephen answered – "I hope…"-
"That's good." Weiss said in a sigh of relief
"Yeah, defiantly…." Ruby started to say, but stopped as she felt strange suddenly
"Ruby?" Blake asked, taking notice of this first as Ruby got up onto her feet
"Ruby are you okay?" Goofy asked as he and the others, aside from a still trying to slumber Frank got back up
"I think you might have been quick on your assessment doc." Adam stated as Ruby started to wobble around a little
"Ruby, Ruby can you hear me?" Stephen asked as he waved his hand in front of her eyes, though didn't get a response back. Stephen quickly then looked to the girls "Ladies I need you to gently if also quickly lay her onto her back."
"Right!" Weiss, Blake and Yang said as they did so with Ruby. Seconds later they laid Ruby back on the ground, which got Frank out of his attempted slumber as he to back up to his feet before noticing the situation at hand
"What the hell is going on here?" Frank asked as Weiss glared at him
"The bottle you gave Ruby did this to her, she drank it." Weiss answered as Donald and Goofy move over near Ruby who seemed be freaking out a little as her eyes were moving around like she was seeing something
"Wait really, damn she's a moron." Frank said bluntly
"Will you back off dude, you could have possible just poisoned my sister!" Yang screamed, as she wanted to attack Frank but didn't when she felt Goofy's hand on her shoulder and looked back at him
"Yang I know your mad, but this ain't the best time okay." Goofy said kindly "Besides, I'm sure Ruby will pull through, she's a strong girl."
"Yeah, she is your sister after all and you both are stubborn." Donald stated with a smile as Yang laughed a little, thankfully for the words of support
"You are right on that boys." Weiss said as she smiled at Freinder nuzzled the end of his nose against Ruby's cheek in a worried manner. Weiss petted the top of Freinders head "Good boy."
"Arf!" Freinder barked, while Adam looked her over; then looked to Frank
"Hey, what do think is happening to her?" Adam asked
"Why ask me?" Frank asked back
"Seem like you're the sort of guy who's dealt with this kind of stuff before or at least seen it." Adam suggested as Frank sighed
"Can't say much, I'm not the best with this sort of stuff but…" Frank said as he looked over his summoner to see what was possible wrong with her "Hm, maybe the liquid in the bottle has put her in some sort of trance."
"Could be, I don't think its drugs either." Adam remarked
"Well whatever it is, I'm sure Ruby will push through it." Weiss said trying to keep her cool down, though as she was; Ruby was expercing a weird sequence
As Ruby laid on the ground, she didn't feel sick or that she was dying. But her body felt like it was changing on a molecular level. That her very genes were being broken down and reformed to something else, though her guesses were answered as she suddenly saw her vision go somewhat grey and blurry. Then what followed was a single crow that landed on her chest, but this crow had a bloody beak and some pieces of flesh hanging from said beak. Ruby could tell no one else could see it as the crow disappeared from sight, then she felt a great rush of power coursing through her right hand as Ruby popped back up suddenly, though as she did a single Shade that was trying a lone sneak attack popped up in front of her and the others. The others moved out of Ruby's way, all looking at the lone heartless; but as the heartless was about to attack Ruby cut in
"AHHHHH!" Ruby screamed as she raised her right hand out, while startling everyone else. But what happened next was even more surprising, as a whole murder of crows shot out of Ruby's hand. Seconds later the murder of crows hit the Shade, as the crows quickly ripped the heartless into shreds of dark flesh and dark blood which splatter the ground before the Shades disappeared into black smoke along with the murder of crows. Though only one crow was left as it landed on Ruby's right forearm, which she held up by instinct as the crow looked at Ruby with some dark blood dripping from it's beak and flew off to the right before disappearing as well. The group just stayed silent for a few moments, before Ruby decided to break the silence "So… I can now summon murder of crows. That happened."
"Yes…that happened." Weiss stated wide eyed, looking back at Ruby to see her right hand becoming slightly feather; while beak tips appeared over her fingers for a few moments before reverting back to her normal hand. Weiss decided to figure out on how to deal with this development later with the girls, Guin, Donald and Goofy when they found a good time to do so "Well, I guess for now we can just put that aside. Besides we still need to inform each other on how our days went by so far."
"Yeah though me and Ruby need to explain to our boys here what's going on situation wise." Yang explained "Taking it you and my Blakey already explained it to your summons?"
"Well not yet, I started off but then we got side tracked." Blake explained with a sheepish smile
"Ah, I see." Yang responded in amusement, though found her girlfriend continuing to look cuter ever second; especially with how she was sheepishly smiling at the moment
"How about you girls explained what's going on situation wise to your new summons. Then explain to each other how your days went." Goofy suggested "Sound good?"
"Sounds good to me, girls?" Ruby asked, trying to calm herself down on the new unnerving powers she just received – "You're fine… you're fine… you're OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE TO MYSELF?"-
"You know what, lets." Yang said as she sat back down on the ground followed by the others. Though the girls sat together on one side with Donald and Goofy, while the new summons just sat on the other side "So ladies, gentlemen who wants to start off with the explanation of our situation first?"
"I can." Ruby said, a bit calmer as she looked at her right hand every few seconds to make sure whatever had happened to her wouldn't act up on its own
"Well guess the floors yours miss." Adam said as Ruby gave him an appreciative nod
"Right, lets start off with the heartless." Ruby stated as she started off with the explanations, while the others waited for their turn to help explain
-Elsewhere-
In a cave, a very large dark cave a gigantic metal man laid in it. His skin was pure silver, with thick plated armor on his body, a metallic face helmet that covered most of the top of his head and a large cannon connected to his left arm. The large metal man's red eyes flickered in a flickered out, like he was in a state of shifting consciousness. But as a few more minuet's with a few rats crawling on the metal man's body, a single drop of water dripped from the top of the cave hitting against the metal man's head waking him up finally. The metal man took his reawakening slow, instinct of wariness and caution taking over as he knew he wasn't anywhere that he was familiar with. The metal man got up, cracking some of his bolted joints and then activating a small computer built into his right forearm.
"Everything is fine for now, but I must make my way out of this pit." The metal man stated with a deep, gruff tone as he began making his way out of the cave or at least trying to. The metal man kept on, though the cave seemed to be much larger then he believed; so large that an underground metropolis could be placed within the large spaces of this cave and that still wouldn't be enough. But as he kept walking, his picked up the sounds of foot steps which were a set of two metallic foot steps to be exact. The metal man readied up his arm cannon which glowed a slight purple hue from within the barrel. The metal man slowly walked towards the metallic foots steps, that became louder and louder before the metal man turned a corner aiming his arm cannon only to see it was familiar if not also very loyal faces "Soundwave, Shockwave if I had to pick anyone to see. I for once am glad it's you two."
"Oh mighty Megatron, you humbles us with your words." Shockwave replied as he was a large dark purple/ black colored figure, with a bulky body, a blaster for his left hand, a clawed right hand and a purple faced logo on his chest plate. Finally Shockwave had an oval shaped head with a single red eye. Megatron just nodded to one of his two most loyal companions, before turning his attention to Soundwave who was basically his right hand bot. Soundwave was a thin looking bot, with wing like arms, fin like armor with some plating on the limbs, was a grey/purple color; had a single visor face plate and the same purple faced logo on his chest
"Soundwave, report." Megatron ordered
"Yes lord Megatron." Soundwave responded, with a respectful nod and an emotionless tone "Our forces woke up in this cave around ten millicycles ago. Amongst our forces are Brawl, Blitzwing, Knockout, Lugnut, Slipstream and Starscream. Along with my decepticon mini-cassette Laserbeak, Ravage, Rumble and Frenzy." He explained as he patted his chest where he stored his decepticon mini- cassettes
"Good, good to know that a decent portion of our forces are here." Megatron stated as he scowled a bit thinking about a certain decepticon "Has Starscream cause any issues yet?"
"Some lord Megatron, though Lugnut is the one making sure he doesn't try taking over like he does try at occasions." Shockwave explained
"I see, well I guess I'll have another chat with the wretch once we get back to the base camp I'm sure you've set up." Megaton stated
"Of course Megatron, though… there is something else." Shockwave said
"Which is?" Megatron asked, as his patients was wearing then already
"It has to do with Starscream, he made a pack with some…organics who have made a home in these caves." Shockwave explained, though back up a bit behind Soundwave as he knew this would not please Megatron
"HE WHAT!" Megatron screamed, punching the side of the cave making a small hole before taking a somewhat calming sigh and looking to Soundwave "Take me to the base camp, I am having a word with Starscream; a painful one."
"As you command Lord Megatron." Soundwave said before he and Shockwave began leading Megatron back to their base camp. After what seemed to be half an hour, they finally made their way over to the decepticons base camp where all of the decepticons stood around a large made fire
The first decepticon was a large green and bulky armored bot, with a thick helmet that had a purple visor along with a sliver mouth guard. His body had treads from his limbs, a cannon on his back and his decepticon logo in his chest in a large paint format. This was Brawl, one of the deadliest if not also ruthless worriers for the decepticon army.
The second decepticon was red and silver, with a thin body shape, clawed hands, car like parts on his body, a crown like head with a silver face that had a mouth, red eyes and finally his decepticon logo on the tip of his chest plate which was very small. This was Knockout, the doctor for the deceptions.
The third was another male bot who had a tan, black and purple color scheme. Looked like a mixture between a tank and jet with various parts of both vehicle types on his body. He had a helmet that covered most of the top of his head, his face was purple with a mouth piece, a nose, one red eye and a red lens what looked like a monocle. Finally his decepticon symbol was plaster om his chest in a medium size. This was Blitzwing, another deadly if not sociopathic member of the decepticon army.
The fourth deception was very large, had very bulky armor that covered his whole body, was colored purple, black and some dark green. He had three pronged hands and feet. His head was connected to his body with no visible neck in sight, with a single red eye and beak like mouth. Finally he had one decepticon symbol on his chest plate and two on each of his shoulders. This was Lugnut a zealously loyal member of the decepticon army, a heavy hitter and in a way Blitzwing besti.
The second to last was the only female of the group, as she was thin, had an obvious jet form that was integrated into her thinner frame. Had a pale white face plate, a mouth, red eyes, clawed hands, along with having aqua green and black color scheme. Finally her decepticon symbol was small and on the tip of the what would be the cockpit of her jet form. This was Slipstream, one of the only fembots in the decepticon army.
Finally the last decepticon was a male, one that share a very similar if not more bulky shape like Slipstream had. He had red eyes, a dark metal face, a color scheme of silver, blue and red with his decepticon logo on his right wing that would be part of his jet from. This was Starscream, Megtron's commander along with being the occasional backstabber when the bot could find a good time to try and off his master to take over as leader of the decepticons himself. At the moment he was having a argument with Lugnut and Slipstream. While Knockout watch in amusement with Brawl and Blitzwing seemed bored. Megatron seeing simply started to walk to the group followed by Soundwave and Shockwave; which the others took notice of immediately.
"Lord Megatron, your alive!" Lugnut joyfully said as he did a bow of zealous respect
"It is good to see you lord Megatron." Slipstream said next as she looked at Starscream who was nervous already
"Indeed, we feared you may have been lost and we'd be stuck with Starscream my lord." Blitzwing joked, as Brawl nodded in agreement
"Lord Megatron, I know this isn't probably the best time. But any damage we may need to worry about?" Knockout asked as Megatron stopped in front of him, making the bot nervous before he looked back at Starscream and motion for his commander to come closer. Starscream not wanting to push it did so, only for Megatron to quickly land a solid punch right into Starscream face as the bot fell to the ground groaning in pain. Megatron then looked back at knockout as he made the slightest smirk "Does that answer your question on my functions Knockout?"
"Oh indeed sir, indeed it does." Knockout remarked as Starscream got back up
"Master what was that for, what did I do?" Starscream asked, but regretted it as Megatron moved quickly up to him grabbing one of his wings hard which cause the sky commander much pain
"Shockwave explained to me that you took over as the so called leader and that you also..." Megatron said as he wrapped his other hand firmly around Starscream neck with just enough pressure to cause some pain "You also allied us with filthy organics!´
"W-Wait it's not what you think!" Starscream pleaded in fear "Please master, t-these organics are different. They we're the ones who got most of us running again and the worship me I mean us all like gods. Please you have to believe me master I would never do anything to hamper our glorious army!"
"Enough of your sniveling already." Merton said sternly as he dropped the sky commander back onto his feet as the bot rubbed his throat
"Say what you want about him and I hate to admit it, but Starscream is sure one smooth talker." Brawl muttered to the others who by this point had grouped up behind Megatron to see if he'd finally kill Starscream this time which turned out to be another no on that
"Yeah if you count sniveling smooth talking bucket head." Slipstream responded as Brawl growled a bit in annoyance at the nickname she'd given him
"Lord Megatron, if you don't me saying. But for once Starscream may have done a good choice." Blitzwing explained as Megatron turned his sights to him making the bot panic just a little as his leader moved up closer to him
"Is that so, why?" Megatron asked with a tone that promise a painful death if he didn't choose his next words carefully
"Well ah… to be honest it might be better to show you." Blitzwing answered trying to keep his growing nervousness on a down low, though it didn't help anyone actually aside from the emotionless Soundwave as Megatron kept staring at Blitzwing with his blood red eyes for a few seconds
"Then show me." Megatron asked, though everyone else knew that it wasn't a request
"We shall then my lord!" Lugnut yelled proudly as he made his way passed the others into the darkness of the cave, before stopping and looking back "This way my lord, it isn't far of a walk!"
Megatron though just nodded, before proceeding to follow Lugnut while the others followed shortly as to not cause a misunderstanding between them and their leader. After a good five minutes, with Megatron seeming to get more annoyed with all the walking so far, Lugnut finally stopped before looking back at the others with Megatron being in front of them
"Now beyond here is where the organics or as they have called themselves humans live at." Lugnut explained
"The show me, I'm losing my patients as it is." Megatron angrily asked, as he was getting visibly annoyed
"Of course my lord!" Lugnut answered, then quickly turn forwards as he looked down on a large underground makeshift town with many people draped in dark clothing and wearing masks with red eyed lenses. A child, being suited up in one of these outfits by what only could be seen as his father took notice of Lugnut.
"They back, they back!" The child chanted joyfully as other humans looked up to see Lugnut and immediately ceased what they were doing
"LUGNUT!" The people chanted, though oddly enough all of them were males which Megatron too noticed of, but decided to let Lugnut finish with his theatric welcome
"It is us humans, we come with the one we spoke of when you first awoke us. The one who has fought to bring unity to our people and will do the same with yours!" Lugnut chanted as the crowd cheered a thunderous chant
"What does he mean by that?" Megatron asked sternly as he looked at all of his soldiers
"Forgive me Megatron, I only told them stories of our cause and what we stand for in the name of the decepticon army." Soundwave answered
"I helped too my lord, only to show these stupid humans the greatness that is you." Knockout added in, knowing this would help get into Megtron's graces more. It was tense yet again, until Megatron for once smiled
"Good, very good." Megatron said, before glaring at Starscream "That is what I ask of my followers, that they do whatever they can to help our cause instead of trying to sabotage it
"B-But master, I have always-" Starscream started to nervously argue about, but stopped when he saw Megatron scowl a bit; though he was saved from enduring his masters stare anymore as Brawl gently tapped Megtron's shoulder
"My lord, forgive me but I believe your time to shine is now." Brawl explained, though was scolding himself for doing something that was possibly life ending as he knew his leader didn't like being touched even if it was for important manners
"Very well then." Megatron said as he looked back to Lugnut who seemed to be done with his speech just about, brawl quietly sighed in relief that his leader didn't response negatively to the shoulder tap
"Now I give you the leader of our glorious empire, MEGATRON!" Lugnut screamed at the top his lung, as the humans cheered. Lugnut then moved back to the others as Megatron passed by him, then finally with that Megatron saw the humans. He was already disgusted with them, seeing them as mindless wastes of space. But as much as he hated to admit it, for once Starscream really had made a wise choice. For he could see these so-called humans were very impressionable, along with the potential for a substitute cannon fodder army to have until he could figure out where they were and how to get out of wherever here was. So with a smile, he looked before his new temp army
"I am Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. Uniter of my home of Cybertron and will be your savior as I can already see you have the potential to rule this world if yours with no opposition. If you pledge yourself to the decepticon cause, I promise you that by the end of this you will be ruler of this world!" Megatron yelled out proudly, using his charm to win this crowd over which worked as everyone present all cheer louder before pumping their arms in the air
"HAIL LORD MEGATRON, HAIL LORD MEGTRON. DECPTICONS, DECPTICONS!" The humans chanted as it echoed throughout the caves as Megatron smiled just a little, knowing that this was all but too easy now. But as the chanting echoed, from outside the cave a small buggy with two women dressed in attire that covered their whole body for the cold desert nights watched the cave, one of the women holding a set of binoculars while the other had a bolt action rifle in her hands
"So what do you see?" The rifle woman asked nervously, as she kept her finger on the trigger just barely
"Nothing, but I think we both can hear what they're saying." The binocular woman responded back, before setting her binoculars down
"Then I think we should get back to Jeet's now. Boss would want to know that there is a Buzzard encampment inside a cave a few miles away from us. Along with whatever these decepticons people are." The rife woman stated
"Yeah I think you're right, let's go. But I feel bad we still can't give the boss news on that Max fellows where about." The Binocular woman said as she and her friend got into the buggy quickly, before starting the car and making their way back to Jeet's fortress. But minutes after that, a lone Shade popped up from the ground as it could sense people within the cave as many more Shades appeared behind it. Though as the lead Shade looked, it knew that not prey was in the cave. But instead the lead Shade saw kin of their own and with that all the Shades made their way over to the cave; wanting to meet their newest allies of darkness
-Meanwhile at the District 3 entrance, two hours later with team RWBY-
"Well, let's see if our two big bot's are still talking with the gals." Ruby happily stated as she, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Donald and Goofy were right at the third districts entrance. The girls had spent a good amount of time explain the whole situation to at least Frank and Stephen, but after a while longer their new summons started to become tried too. So with that they desummoned them back into their gems so they could get some rest, after that the girls decided to introduce at least Donald and Goofy to their newest giant robotic friends
"So you're all being serious about the giant Robots?" Donald asked curiously
"We sure are Donald and again don't worry they are safe to be around." Weiss remarked in amusement
"Yeah well after dealing with what we've been having to deal with. It's kind of hard not to get wary." Donald replied
"We know Donald." Blake said, before looking over to Goofy "What about you Goofy?"
"Gawrsh girls, you haven't lead us astray yet so I'm with your decisions." Goofy answered kindly, with his trademark chuckle which got the girls to smile at the always upbeat attitude Goofy had; though Blake sighed a moment after
"Something wrong Blake?" Donald asked
"Well I just wanted to say sorry about my mom and dad's behavior when they first meet you." Blake explained "They're not just use to seeing well people as animal looking as you two are. So I hope they didn't offend either of you."
"I also have to say the same about my older sister. Winter can be difficult and today's events have taken their toll on her. Not to say what she said to you both was justified, but I'm sorry if either of you were offended." Weiss said, before looking back at her girlfriend Ruby, Blake and Yang "Same goes for you girls too, I hope she didn't offend any of you also."
"We're good Weiss." Blake responded as Ruby and Yang nodded in agreement
"Yeah no problem, really me and Goofy are tougher than you'd think." Donald proudly said with a quick salute, but as they retracted back from the salute Goofy accidently hit Donald making the duck fall to the ground. Donald got back up eyeing Goofy in slight anger while Goofy sheepishly shrugged, the girls got another quick laughed out of that followed by Donald and Goofy before they calmed down
"Hey you know what's funny?" Yang asked
"What?" The others asked
"It's just kind of hard to believe that this very district is place we first met one another. Seems so long ago, when it hasn't been." Yang explained with a small smile
"Yeah, kind of hard to image where we are now." Blake said happily as she and Yang held one another's hands
"Indeed, but I have to admit aside from all the craziness so far. I'm happy about this." Weiss remarked
"Defiantly and I'm sure we'll all have even more crazy adventures on that way." Ruby stated joyfully as she held Weiss hand, while Weiss did the same with a loving tight grip
"We sure will." Goofy replied back as he and Donald them pushed opened doors to the third district, holding them open
"Ladies first." Donald said as the girls smiled at the kind act
"Why thank you, such gentlemen." Weiss remarked as the girls nodded in agreement before making their way into district 3, with Donald and Goofy following behind. Once inside the district, the group made their way down the steps. To see Optimus talking with Glynda, Fareeha and Hana still; though surprised to see Kali there as well. The group then saw Hot Rod playing with the kids, all of them playing with the sisters Tina and Kim as Hot Rod seemed to be enjoying being able to let the kids have some fun. The group quickly made their way down over, getting the attention of the others as they looked to see the girls, Donald and Goofy
"Oh hey what's ups!" Hana happily said as the group stopped in their tracks right next to her, Glynda, Fareeha and Kali
"Not much, just was seeing how the big bots we're doing." Ruby answered as she looked at Optimus "You and Hot Rod adjusting well so far?"
"We are indeed Ruby, I was just getting to Know some of our new friends here better." Optimus explained
"And I've been letting to kids have fun climbing over my hands." Hot Rod answered happily as the kids kept playing on both of his hands, though the kids did wave at the group who waved back
"Oh so you are a softie?" Yang joked as Hot Rod rolled his eyes in amusement at the small jab
"Yes but he's a super cool one!" Spike answered joyfully with wide smirk, before sheepishly rubbing the back of his head "I mean you four are cool too."
"Aw thank you Spike, such a sweetie." Blake responded with a teasing tone as Spike became a bit embarrassed from the praise
"Yeah, yeah I'm a nice guy." Spike responded back as Sweetie Belle from behind him, placed her hoofs under her chin as she looked at him with a small smile and a dreamy gaze
"Yeah you are…"Sweetie Belle remarked happily, with a loving tome
"Huh what did you say?" Spike asked
"Oh um nothing, lets keep playing!" Sweetie Belle answered quickly with a blush on her cheeks, while the others aside from the two autobots and kids could see that one of their resident's kids had a crush on someone
"That's cute, really cute." Yang stated as the others nodded in agreement, while she along with her group sat down next to their friends
"Anymore cuteness and I might just pass out from it." Glynda joked gushing quietly over how cute she was finding all of this
"Anyways, what I want to know is what are you doing here mom. I thought you we're going to bed with dad?" Blake asked
"Well I was, but then I decided I wasn't tired yet and wanted to see how Optimus and Hot Rod here were holding up too." Kali explained
"I guess that makes sense." Blake answered, though was still pretty peeved with her mom's behavior so far
"Indeed, oh right girl we we're going to come ask you four along with anyone else with you. But the gals and I were going to explore the newest district we have." Glynda explained
"Sure we'll come with you, but what about the kids?" Ruby asked
"We'll they're coming with us, me and Fareeha here tried talking them out of it but-" Hana answered, but Fareeha cut in
"They're just as stubborn as the rest of us." Fareeha answered "Though I feel a sense of pride in the kids for that."
"Though me and Glynda are still against it." Kali said as she looked at the kids worriedly "But they're dead set on coming with us."
"Do not worry Kali, they are safe with us that I can assure you." Optimus said with a reassuring tone
"Yeah don't worry, but what are waiting for." Hot Rod stated as he let the kids down, then transformed back into his sports car form opening up his top hatch
"COOL!" The kids all yelled as they stared in awe, then Optimus did the same as the kids looked over to him now "AWESOME!"
"Alright kids, settle down. You know the condition was asked of you while your with us." Fareeha said as the kids sighed
"No sighing children, it's only to make sure you're safe and so that your relatives don't kill us for any of you getting harmed." Kali explained as she looked to Optimus, Fareeha and Hana "Can you take them, also Fareeha and Hana could you both stay with them. Please."
"I shall take the kids, they will be under my protection." Optimus answered
"Same, especially if Fareeha is with us." Hana answered kindly, then realized from the size of Optimus that they'd still have some room "Donald, Goofy you want to join us. It would give us some time to know each other."
"Sure, Donald?" Goofy asked
"I was gonna ask anyways." Donald remarked as he looked at his nephews "Besides I know how to deal with my rowdy nephews."
"We're not that rowdy." Huey, Dewy and Louie responded defensively, though lost their nerve when Donald raised an eyebrow
"Right, anyways let's get to it, come on kids." Donald said getting up to Optimus who opened his door for him, though Donald did find some complications when trying to climb up into the chaise
"Well come on, lets follow the duck man." Hana joked as she helped Donald up, the followed by Fareeha and Goofy. After they were seated, the kids got in with the ducking triplets sitting on Donald's lap. Sweetie Belle and Spike sitting on Fareeha's lap. AppleBloom and Scootaloo sitting on Goofy's lap. Then finally Tina and Kim sitting on Hana's lap
"Alright so I guess you ladies are with me, now how's this going to work since there might not be much room." Hot Rod asked, but got his answer as team RWBY hopped in the back with Blake letting Yang sit on her lap this time. Then followed by Weiss this time letting Ruby sit on her own lap, Glynda got into the driver's seat while Kali got into the passenger's seat. Once they were in, Hot Rod close the top while reeving up his engines. Hot Rod then activated his comm to make sure he was able to talk Optimus still "Optimus you hear me clear right?"
"Affirmative Hot Rod, ladies are you all settling in?" Optimus kindly asked
"We are Optimus, thanks for asking." Ruby kindly replied
"How are you all settling in on your side?" Blake asked
"We're doing fine girls, the kids are also behaving very well." Fareeha answered
"Kind of scares me since my nephews here usual are trouble makers." Donald remarked
"Oh uncle Donald, we're good boys." Huey, Dewy and Louie answered with innocent tones while Donald sighed not wanting to argue
"Well that's good to know." Yang stated "But ah, should we get going now?"
"We shall, Hot Rod lead the way and I'll radio the others and see if any progress has been made with the pods." Optimus explained
"Got it." Hot Rod responded, moving his way in front of Optimus while if on a timed schedule the doors opened up "Hey Optimus, I'm going to speed up and get to the others quickly. That's cool with you boss?"
"It is, but don't try anything to risky. You have passengers now understood?" Optimus answered with a slightly stern tone with his younger comrade knowing he had a tendency to do risky stunts when in his alt form
"Hey it's me, I'm always safe." Hot Rod answered as he reeved up his engines loudly which the girls took notice of
"Oh boy, well better get a good grip on you my little rose because I'm gonna need someone to hold in comfort." Weiss remarked as Ruby just giggled, before wrapping her arms lovingly around Weiss
"Same goes with you Yang my sweet." Blake stated with a smirk as Yang kissed her for a moment before she and Blake got comfortable while Kali who took notice of it from the rearview mirror did her best to hide her slight scowl from how uncomfortable she felt still about her daughters relationship with the… human
"Wait what's going on?" Glynda asked, not taking notice of Kali's current mood and more curious one what the girls were getting ready for
"Oh, just Hot Rod doing Hot Rod stuff." Ruby answered happily as Glynda and now even Kali despite her current mood raised an eyebrow at that
"Alright ladies, hold on tight!" Hot Rod joyfully yelled as he moved through the District 6 entrance way at blinding speeds
"So…he's the safe one?" Fareeha asked as Optimus sighed a bit, then with that he and his entourage followed behind
-Minutes later in District 6-
"You ladies enjoying the ride?" Hot Rod asked as he was going even faster than before, blasting through the city scape to get back to Prowl and Ratchet
"Personally this is kind of fun." Weiss stated, surprised she had gotten use to the g-force so quickly as she laughed in delight while Ruby, Blake and Yang laughed in delight too. Kali and Glynda well…
"AHH!" Glynda screamed, thankfully not to loud that it would hurt Kali or Blakes cat ears; but enough that it could be guess Glynda was not enjoying the ride
"TO BLOODY FAST!" Kali screamed, a she shuttered nervously in her seat, while clutching her hands hard against the bottom of her seat
"Four out of six, good enough." Hot Rod joked as he could then see they we're closing in on the others in this place, so he started to slow down and once he slowed enough Glynda along with Kali took in a deep breath of relief; though Glynda wasn't exactly happy with Hot Rod
"Honestly you could have driven slower, we would haven't gotten here a bit later but without me at least almost having a panic attack." Glynda stated sternly as Hot Rod laughed a bit "What's funny young… bot?"
"What oh I just found it so worth it to see your reactions. Priceless." Hot Rod answered in amusement but got a quick whack on his dash board by Glynda's cattle whip "OW…wait why did that hurt?"
"Can't say, but don't try anything like you just did unless you want another one young bot." Glynda sternly stated
"Um yes ma'am." Hot Rod responded, with a quick nervous laugh
"Anyways, I think I can see Ratchet and Prowl up ahead." Kali stated as she and the others looked to see the other two autobots still around the pods
"So those two are Ratchet and Prowl." Glynda stated, intrigued to meet two more autobots
"Yep, but they have a bit of a bad attitude. Well Prowl a lot more than Ratchet." Blake remarked
"Really?" Glynda asked
"Oh yeah, though I think Ratchet is alike an old guy in Cybertronian years if we're going off by how old our buddy Hot Rod here is." Ruby explained "So that might be why he's cranky. But Prowl, well he's a big old meany."
"Even when you try sounding serious, you somehow still sound adorable baby sis." Yang joked as Ruby pouted a little
"Agreed." Weiss said as she kissed Ruby's cheek at how cute her girlfriend was at times "Still, as much as I don't care for Prowls attitude with us already. We should try and get along with him, along with every other autobot we haven't met yet."
"Yeah I guess we should." Yang replied back, but just then Hot Rod stopped and opened up his top hatch
"Here's our stop ladies, thank you again from taking Hot Rod as your escort for this drive." Hot Rod said as the girls got out, then after transformed back into his robot form. Prowl and Ratchet took notice, though only Prowl sighed as the group walked right up to them
"Oh great, you organics again and what's this a new one to babysit?" Prowl asked irritably
"Can you try to be nice dude?" Yang asked already annoyed a little
"Can you try not being here?" Prowl asked back as Yang just let it be, not wanting to waste the energy arguing with the jerkbot Prowl
"Mister Prowl was it?" Glynda asked
"Yes and you're the new organic." Prowl answered
"Glynda GoodWitch is my name good sir, though could you moved your face up to me I want to see something. Call it curiosity." Glynda answered with a sweet smile
"Sure… besides you'll probably just pester me if I don't." Prowl said as he moved his face right up to Glynda with a glare "Now what do you want to see?"
"This." Glynda remarked as she whacked her cattle whip across Prowls face four consecutive times, making Prowl quickly fall back onto his rear as he rubbed his face
"What in the spark Prowl, what happened?" Ratchet asked, startled to see such a reaction from Glynda's little quick experiment
"Yeah… we're kind of wondering that too." Hot Rod, Ruby, Blake, Yang and Kali asked in slight bewilderment
"She freaking whipped me!" Prowl answered as he got back up, grabbed his gun with his left hand and moved his face right up to Glynda once more angrily glaring "What the frag is wrong with you organic!"
"You see, I just told you my name is Glynda GoodWitch so use it." Glynda answered as she whipped Prowls nose this time, making Prowl cringe in pain as he stood back up rubbing his nose
"Ah, why does that hurt so much orga-" Prowl started to say, but stopped when Glynda pulled out her cattle whip again with a raised eyebrow "I mean Glynda… why did that hurt?"
"Can't say much, but never and I mean never doubt a cattle whip." Glynda joked as the girls and Kali had a quick laugh at how nervous Prowl was now
"Noted…" Prowl answered, then noticed Optimus come in before opening his doors to show many more organics pop out along with what seemed to be some animals along with humanoid animals; then Optimus transformed back into his robot form as they made their way up next Hot Rod and his group. Prowl quickly straighten himself out, giving Optimus a respectful nod "It's good to see you're okay sir."
"As you too my old friend." Optimus responded kindly, before turning his attention to Ratchet "Ratchet, what is the status on our comrades?"
"Good Optimus, a few more calibrations and I should-" Ratchet began to answer, until the wires from his built-in computer sparked out making Ratchet back off as the pods opened sending out icy smoke as it covered the area. The group covered their mouths, aside from the autobots and once it cleared out the remaining if not also dazed autobots were in view of everyone
"Ah man… feels like I just got out of fight with a pack of Turbofox's." A male autobot stated as he was tall, had a green, grey, dark green and yellow color scheme. Though it mostly just a mixture of green with a bit of yellow and grey at places. His armor was bulky in some place, but also slime in other places. He had a normal looking face aside from it being made of metal with a helmet covering up most of his head and had blue eyes. His autobot logo was on his chest. His alt form showed somewhat, as it looked like a car from how his chest plate was shaped like the front of a car along with his shoulder pieces that looked like they'd hold the front wheels of a car. This was springer, a skill warrior for the autobots and a bit of a wise crack at points. Though despite his wise crack attitude at times, he was autobot you could depend on to have your back; even if he could be smug his about skills at times
"Please can you be quiet for a few mega cycles. My everything is hurting." Another younger male autobot remarked as he rubbed his head, though unlike most of other awaking autobots he was the shortest. His armor was that of a small car as most of his armor had a car style to them along with his forearms and calf's having futuristic steel wheels coming out from them. He like springer had blues eyes, a helmet though with two small horns on the top and a normal looking face other the it being made of metal. His autobot logo was on his chest too, but smaller in size. Finally he had color scheme of some black, some red and mostly yellow. The was BumbleBee, the second youngest of the autobots beating Hot Rod by a year in age and was a very talent scout for their group
"I feel pretty well myself just to say." A chill sounding male autobot said, as he was about the same high as Springer if not an inch or two shorter. He also had car like armor which showed mostly around the chest, arm and leg areas of his body armor with the rest giving off fast agile look. He had a horned helmet with a blue visor that covered his eyes but left his nose and mouth uncovered. He had a black, slight grey, slight red and white color scheme with the number four painted onto the middle of his chest plate along with his auto bot symbol right above the painted number four. This was Jazz, a cool headed warrior but more of the group top infiltrator
"Don't rub it in Jazz." The only female autobot of the group responded in slight irritation as she rubbed her eyes from the sudden wake up. She was just about as tall as Hot Rod if not a little shorter then he was. She had a slim yet stronger looking body frame with a mostly navy blue, black and slightly pink color scheme. Her face was young looking, yet also had a look that was strong though she had no nose; just a mouth and blue eyes with a helmet that covered most of her head other then the three pink pieces on her head. Finally her alt form wasn't a one that could be easily explained, other then it was a land based vehicle as her ankles were that of two small metal wheels that made it look like she wore high heels in a way. Finally her autobot symbol was on the top of her chest but small. This was Arcee, one of the most fearsome warriors in the group and one most of the boys didn't mess with since she also had a slightly shorter temper than most; especially when someone would make a joke about her and Hot Rod
"Enough, we can't waste time with moaning about our sudden awakening." An older stern male autobot stated, he had a color scheme of grey, white, blue and red. With bulk armor that didn't really show what kind of alt mode he sported, but whatever it was; it was heavily armored and probably larger them most of the others alt modes. He had his autobot logo on his chest but was very small, had a stern human looking face made of metal, a blue visor and a head that looked like Optimus head in a way. Though he did share a similar looked to Optimus if not with difference in the armor at some places. He also was about as tall as Optimus if not an inch shorter than the boss bot was. This was Ultra Magnus, a stern military autobot that was loyal to his team along with being a strict stickler for the rules. He the looked back at the last four autobots, though the biggest out of the last four seemed to be out cold still with the other last three looking him over "Dinobots, what your status?"
"Fine, but the big guy is out cold still." A male Dinobots answered, though unlike the other autobots he and his group shared a very similar color scheme of red, yellow, grey and black. Though only this particular Dinobot had a blue chest plate with his autobot logo on the center of his chest. He had clawed hands, talon like feet, what look like wings on his back, a long red crest on the back of his head, a plain face with no nose, a mouth and narrowed blue shaped eyes. This was Swoop, the only flying member of the Dinobots and was mostly the voice of reason when it came to this group… mostly
"Come on big guy wake up." A second Dinobot male said as he gently smacked the back of the out cold Dinobots head. This one had a bulky look about him, with his armor consisting of many large red transparent fins of sorts on the front of his legs and his back. He had a bulky red torso, three toed feet, a black horned helmet with a blue diamond in the center of the helmet, a normal metal face but this time with red eyes. This was Snarl one of warrior in the group, though a somewhat pessimistic one at that; but he was a Dinobot you could count on in a battle
"Stop that, you know he hates being poked at spark brain." The Third male Dinobot remarked, as he was about the same height as the other two. Had three toed feet connect to bulky calf's. His forearms were armored with small curved back spikes coming out of them, with two one spiked shoulder pads/ His torso was armored with what looked like a large animal head connect to it with two horns coming out from the back and the mouth opened which had the upper part cover over the head; he also had his auto bot logo on the center of his chest in a large form. Finally his head had the mouth and nose showing, but with a black helmet that had a red line covering the rest and a red visor covering the eyes. This was Slug, a loyal solider to the autobots and the out cold Dinobot; also he wasn't the most… brightest bulb amongst his group but loyal no doubt
Though as the awakening autobots and three out four awakening Dinobots were getting out of their daze of slumber/ confusion. The others looked at the newcomers in awe and curiosity.
"So boys, those are the others autobots and Dinobots did I hear that right?" Hana asked curiously as that really intrigued her
"Yep, you got that right little lady." Hot Rod respond happily as Hana smiled back
"So wait, four them are called Dinobots. Why?" Blake asked
"Because they turn into dinosaurs silly." Scootaloo kindly explained
"A Di-no-saur?" Weiss asked now with a raised eyebrow
"What are those?" Ruby and Yang asked this time, much to the others surprise
"Wait you don't know what Dinosaurs are?" Fareeha asked "I mean didn't you have them back in your world?"
"No, never have hear of those thing. Now Grimm ancients are what we had." Glynda answered as Kali nodded in agreement
"Were they like big scaled lizards?" Sweetie Belle asked
"Hm…I think they were, though I'm probably not the best to ask about history." Ruby answered, before sheepishly rubbing the back of her head
"Well if they were then those were dinosaurs!" Huey and Spike stated
"Oh…I guess then we do have them, though they were just known as the ancient Grimm our ancestors had to fight off before the discovery of dust." Weiss explained "Huh, then I guess the bones archeologists have found dug up over the years are dinosaur bones."
"Cool!" Louie, Dewy, AppleBloom, Kim and Tina shouted. Though as they did, that got the attention of the newly awaken autobots who took notice as they finally saw they were in company
"SIR!" All of the autobots shouted as they ran up to Optimus giving him a group hug, which to the others along with Prowl and Ratchet who were barely dragging over the still out cold autobot closer to them was a nice moment to see. It was interesting to see these mechanical beings have such emotions in the first place
"At ease my friends, it is good to see you all out of harms way as well." Optimus kindly said as his autobots released him
"Yes it's great to see you again, but can we get some help with the big guy over here?" Prowl asked, going back to his usual grumpy tone
"Always the grump." BumbleBee muttered rolling his eyes as he, Snarl and Ultra Magnus moved over to help their two autobot comrades with the out cold Dinobot
"Anyways, lets just say you all will be needed to be updated about what's been going on." Hot Rod explained as Arcee smirked and elbowed his side
"Yeah like for one why aren't we in the ark, two where is everyone else, three why it looks like we're back on Cybertron and fourth…" Arcee stated, but stopped as she looked to see team RWBY and the others looking at them "What are those things?"
"Things?" Springer asked as he stared, before seeing the group before them "Oh... things."
"Whoa what are they?" BumbleBee asked as he moved up closer to the group
"Um Hi?" Ruby said sheepishly with a wave
"Oh ah hi back, wow you can talk. Cool." Bumblebee remarked as Ultra Magnus and the rest with him moved up to the group
"As cool as you say it is, it doesn't change the fact they could be contaminated." Ultra Magnus remarked sternly, but Jazz quickly cut in before anyone else could respond
"Hey come on big guy they don't look dangerous." Jazz stated kindly as he moved next to BumbleBee as he inspected the organics "Jazz is my name, how's it hanging folks?"
"Nice to meet you Jazz and friends. I'm Ruby." Ruby answered happily
"Weiss, a pleasure." Weiss answered next as she did a quick curtesy
"Blake and I have to say aside from Prowl's attitude. The rest of you seem nice enough." Blake said with a small smile
"Even Mister other big bot. Oh and I'm Yang." Yang joked as Ultra Magnus huffed while Arcee snickered just a bit
"Oh I already know she and I are going to be best friends." Arcee remarked, as she looked at the kids staring at them or well she could tell they were younger offspring's like how protoforms were to their race. Arcee always liked kids, mostly because they were so innocent compared to most so she smiled as she kneeled near the kids making them look in awe "So who are you little protoforms supposed to be, got names?"
"I still say they could be contagious." Ultra Magnus reinstated with a sterner huff as Arcee let the kids play with her fingers
"Frag off, they look nice." Snarl responded in slight irritation as he turned his attention to Donald, Goofy, Hana and Fareeha followed by Springer who did the same "I'm Snarl."
"Nice to meet you snarl, I'm Hana Song!" Hana happily answered as Fareeha rolled her eyes
"And I'm Fareeha. The two others are Donald and Goofy." Fareeha answered as she looked to Donald and Goofy "Boys say hello."
"H-Hello." Donald and Goofy answered, though both were somewhat nervous still
"Hey no need to be nervous guys, these two are nice enough." Hot Rod said smirking "Though Springers face can be hard to look at, I will admit."
"You're just the same as always." Springer responded smirking back as Hot Rod did a friendly shrug
"Seems like tension are lowering." Ruby stated as she, the girls, Glynda and Kali saw the friendly interactions taking place
"Indeed." Weiss said, but noticed Swoop, Slug, Ratchet and Prowl still looking over the out cold autobot. She then made her way over, followed by the girls, Glynda and Kali before Prowl took notice of them
"What do you want now?" Prowl asked in slight irritation, though keeping his more blunt comments to himself since he knew Glynda could somehow hurt him with that blasted cattle whip of hers "You got the others to talk to so go talk to them."
"Prowl you know you should be nicer." Swoop stated as he gave Prowl a annoyed glance, but Prowl rolled his eyes while Swoop shrugged before looking at the others "Hello organics, I am Swoop and my friend here is Slug."
"Hello small things." Slug answered as he still was trying to wake up the out cold autobot; even while Ratchet told him not too
"Hello back. It's nice to meet you all too. Right ladies?" Glynda asked as team RWBY and Kali nodded in agreement
"It is, but I just wanted to ask what this big fellows name is." Weiss asked now, looking at the still out cold autobot
"Yeah kind of want to know that too." Yang said
"Same." Ruby, Blake and Kali stated; though Kali seemed to have a slight shutter having to agree with Yang for once
"I want to know if he's okay?" Glynda asked this time
"If you must know yes he is, the lug head just must have knocked himself out somehow." Ratchet answered looking over the out cold autobots systems with his internal computer
"Okay so he's alright, but what's his name?" Blake asked kindly
"Grimlock, he's our boss." Slug explained
"Wait isn't Optimus your boss?" Ruby asked now, as the others wondered that too
"Kind of, the Dinobots were call the thunder squad a long while ago." Prowl explained "Till they ended up like this."
"What do you mean?" Kali asked, though Slug decided to answer this time
"We got capture by a slagging bolter of a scientist. He…he made us like this." Slug explained angrily "Me, Snarl and Swoop were lucky that our alt forms were the only thing changed. Boss not so much."
"Yeah, boss lost a lot of his thinking functions and got more of a…" Swoop began to explain too, but couldn't find a word to use
"Volatile temperament?" Blake suggested as she felt pity for the Dinobots story
"Yes, yes that. Thank you." Swoop responded happily, before getting serious once more "Anyways, boss can sometimes loss it."
"How bad are we talking here?" Yang asked now, but before she could get an answer Grimlock suddenly got up which got everyone attention for one main reason… he was without a doubt the biggest autobot in the group even dwarfing Optimus by a few good feet
"Depends." Optimus answered suddenly, as he and the others moved back near the girls. Optimus then moved up in front of the group as he stared up at Grimlock who seemed to be in a trance
Grimlock was a hulking autobot, with the same color scheme as his other autobots other than he was mostly grey and his chest was more of hold color that had a medium sized autobot symbol on it. His armor was bulky, though didn't show what kind of alt mode he even had. Finally he was wielding a large red transparent sword on his back with a collapsing shield connected to his left forearm. Overall Grimlock was an imposing autobot that looked like he could destroy a whole army within minutes.
"Does he talk much Mister Optimus?" AppleBloom asked
"Yeah because this guy is giving off a silent killer vibe." Fareeha remarked as she warily gazed at the large autobot
"Trust me we all know that. Could probably kill you all if he wanted to within seconds." Prowl explained getting the group especially the kids nervous. Arcee quickly gave him a elbow to his side, while Hana kicked his left leg somewhat hard "What?"
"What is wrong with you?" Hana asked angrily
"Yeah, ever heard of subtly and not trying to sound liking a fragging rust brain?" Arcee asked next angrily
"What I'm just being honest is all, coddling the young ones from reality isn't helping them." Prowl explained "I'm not apologizing."
"You know I really want to hit him…" Yang muttered as Ruby, Weiss and Blake nodded in agreement
"Easy, I know Prowl can be… blunt. But he is a good autobot." Optimus explained as the girls just sighed giving Prowl the benefit of the doubt for now at least. Optimus then turned his attention back to Grimlock "Grimlock can you hear me. Are you there?"
"Grr…" Grimlock growled suddenly
"Is that a yes?" Hewy asked
"I think it is." Blake responded, though unsure herself
"Well if it is, then he has a weird way of saying it." Scootaloo remarked, while Tina picked her up
"It's okay, I-I'm sure he's nice." Tina stated, though was trying not to shake
"It will be fine kids, really it will." Ruby happily responded with the best reassuring smile before looking back to Grimlock still seeming to be in a trance
"So… who wants to wake him-" Donald said, but before finishing off his question was cut off by Grimlock who slugged Optimus right in the face flinging him into Ultra Magnus and Snarl straight into the wall where the stayed there seeming to have been knocked out slightly from the solid hit
"Whoa what the heck was that for?" Yang asked as she and the others scatter to both sides to avoid a sudden slam attack by Grimlock
"Grimlock come on dude cut it out!" Hot Rod screamed as he lunged onto Grimlock back quickly trying to bring him to the ground, but with no luck "HEY ANYONE WANT TO HELP ME?"
"We got you Hot Rod!" Ruby yelled as she and the girls quickly got up and summoned their keyblades; then began firing of blizzard spells. But as they did, they noticed just a for a second his visor glowed blood red
"Um Hot Rod, are his eyes suppose to be red?" Blake asked as she and the girl kept on firing blizzard spells while BumbleBee, Jazz and Arcee jumped onto Grimlocks sides of his arms trying to help bring the large bot down. Swoop and Slug did the same with his legs with the same amount of luck. Springer was making sure some of the others were okay while Ratchet did the same too
"Wait red, crap he's in berserker mode!" Hot Rod yelled almost being flinged off "HOW WHY?"
"Oh…" Swoop said as they were still trying to keep down Grimlock who was thrashing around faster
"OH WHAT?" Arcee, Jazz, Hot Rod and the girls asked
"He might have been in berserker mode after taking out a few… five dozen decepticons before we had to force him into the stasis pod." Swoop answered sheepishly
"YOU PUT HIM IN STASIS AFTER THAT?" BumbleBee asked, before being the first to be flung off near the girls who dodged to the right "Ow, that hurt a lot more than I thought it would."
"Just stay down dude, we'll take care of this." Yang kindly said as she gave a quick pat on BumbleBee's arm; BumbleBee just nodded before resting his head on the ground
"Okay we will admit, that might be our bad." Snarl said as he, Swoop and Slug were starting to lose their grips on Grimlock
"YOU THINK?" Arcee, Jazz and Hot Rod asked only to be throw off too
"Don't worry we got-" Springer began to say, as he and Ratchet were going to help. But instead, they were knocked down by Arcee, Hot Rod and Jazz ramming into them hard as they fell to the ground
"Now what?" Weiss asked worriedly, until she and the girls noticed a shadow loom over them as they stopped with their blizzard spells to see Grimlock glaring at them with his visor that still glowed blood red
"Um… you like cookies?" Ruby asked, but internally smacked herself for asking such a odd question; though Grimlock responded by taking out his sword and lifted it up above the girls
"CRAP!" Team RWBY yelled as Grimlock already was swinging down his blade, but before it could even make contact suddenly Optimus came in holding back the sword with all of his might
"Girls move and see if you can find another way to get him out of his current state of mind!" Optimus ordered as it seemed Grimlocks berserker mode along with his natural strength was making it hard for even Optimus to hold back. The girls quickly did so as they moved to the right before Optimus was lifted up by Grimlocks sword and flung into one of the buildings hard as he fell to the ground making a small crater. The girls then looked around to see Jazz, a reawakened Snarl, a reawaken Ultra Magnus, Slug and Swoop move the others away along with their somewhat injured autobots being Springer and BumbleBee. Hot Rod and Arcee were trying to move Optimus back to the rest while Prowl started shooting at Grimlock getting the giant titans attention as he followed Prowl
"COME ON YOU BIG FRAGING BOLT BRAIN, COME AT ME!" Prowl screamed angrily as he was firing off round after round at Grimlock who was now using his shield that was a large transparent shield to slowly make his way up to prowl. But after a few more rounds of firing rounds off quickly, suddenly his gun jammed "Scrap, why now of all times?"
"RAHHH!" Grimlock screamed taking this opportunity to swing his Blade at Prowl, but before he could make a full swing at him. Grimlock was cut off by the girls
"THUNDER!" Blake screamed first
"FIRE!" Yang screamed now
"BLIZZARD!" Weiss screamed next
"AERO!" Ruby screamed last, as the four spells hit Grimlock creating a fusion of explosions against Grimlocks back. Prowl quickly moved over to the girls seeing Grimlock was stunned a bit by the attack
"Thanks…" Prowl responded as he put his gun away, looking down at the girls
"Your welcome." Ruby replied as she and the girls gave him a small smile, but then they looked back to see Grimlock staring at them
"Angry…" Grimlock said with a deep primal like tone as he put his weapon and shield away
"So that's how he talks, well guess the others were right when they said his vocabulary was effect." Weiss stated
"Weiss maybe try not to make comments about the large giant robot okay?" Blake asked with a deadpanned tone as Weiss sheepishly shrugged realizing she just did
"Angry…" Grimlock repeated, clenching his fists as Prowl went wide eyed and transformed quickly into a futuristic looking police car "GET IN NOW!"
"What why?" Ruby asked, but before Prowl could explain Grimlock gave the answer
"YOU MAKE ME ANGRY, GRIMLOCK DESTROY!" Grimlock roared at the top of his lungs as he slammed his fists down on to the ground, then with that his whole body transformed until he turned into a very large dinosaur with short arms, thick legs, a tail, a bulky body, a rounded head with a long snot and finally a large set of razor sharp teeth in the mouth before he blasted off a spray of fire from his mouth. Then finally he looked back at the girls, with a glare of irritation "GRIMLOCK DESTORY!"
"GET IN NOW!" Ruby yelled as she and Weiss got in first. Weiss getting into the passenger's side, with Ruby got into the drivers seat. Blake and Yang followed getting into the back of the car, once situated in quickly Ruby looked to see Grimlock already running at them "DRIVE, DRIVE!"
"I'm on it!" Prowl responded as he started up his engines quickly and booked it away from the group, making Grimlock follow at scary speeds. Though as that went on, Kali finally got out of her daze, looking around to see what was going on as she saw Glynda was up
"Glynda…what…what happened?" Kali asked
"Seems like the one called Grimlock has a temper and was still in his mood prompting him to attack us." Glynda explained with a sigh as she was holding in her arms Kim who had bumped her head against a wall hard
"My head hurts still…" Kim muttered as Kali looked around more to see Donald and Goofy tending to their slight injured and the triplets bruised heads. Then looked to see Spike and AppleBloom looking over Hana who also had hit the back of her head slight hard. Then looked to see Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle looking over Arcee along with Springer. Jazz was making sure BumbleBee was alright. Finally Ratchet was looking over the other Dinobots with Tina doing her best to help him with that
"I know sweetie, it will be fine soon." Glynda said as she rubbed Kim's bruised head, Kali then got up as she noticed Prowl with what from what she could guess the girls riding in the seats within his alt mode coming back. Kali was going to try and stop them but they passed by, Kali raised an eyebrow before suddenly hearing foot steps behind to see Grimlock in his alt mode coming up chasing the girls and Prowl. Kali suddenly huffed as she narrowed her eyes, then walked right in front of an oncoming Grimlock which got the others attention
"No get out of the way!" Ratchet yelled as everyone despite their injuries were about to move Kali away, but right as Grimlock moved up to Kali she quickly stood her ground
"STOP!" Kali screamed, which to everyone's shock along with the autobots Grimlock suddenly did a mere few inches away from her
"GET OUT OF WAY!" Grimlock roared in annoyance as his eyes still glowed red, but Kali just glared still as she then smacked Grimlock across the nose hard
"OW!" Grimlock screamed as he rubbed his nose, surprised how painful the hit was from such a small organic
"No, you stop this right now and apologize." Kali ordered
"What, what are you-" Grimlock tried to argue back, but was cut off once more by Kali
"QUIET!" Kali screamed as Grimlock suddenly felt something he never thought he'd feel, fear; utter fear of someone and yet also high respect for said person
"Y-Yes ma'am." Grimlock answered as his eyes went back from red to the autobot blue under his visor; meanwhile the others just watch with the Prowl having joined back up letting the girls back out, transformed back into his robot mode and staring at the odd sight
"Miss Blake, your mom is cool." Sweetie Belle remarked
"Yeah…yeah she is." Blake answered back as she and the others just watched Kali chew out Grimlock who looked nervous beyond belief
"Ha…Ha…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Hot Rod, Jazz, BumbleBee and Springer started to do laughing uncontrollably as they were on the ground on their knees from how funny this was
"Really boys, it's not…not oh who I am kidding this is hilarious!" Hana started to say back, but just began laughing too along with then Fareeha, Arcee who had been trying to keep in her laughter and the kids who were just laughing because they found it funny too. Even Ultra Magnus started to snicker just a little as despite all the injures some of them had taken, their current sight was way too funny
"How did she do this though, no one has ever been able to get Grimlock to listen." Ratchet asked in bewilderment "Well mostly anyways."
"For real, boss never listens this well." Slug added in, bewildered by what he was seeing while Snarl slowly nodded in agreement
"Yes, how does she do it?" Swoop asked next
"Yeah I have to ask that too, it seems so surreal." Donald remarked
"Gawrsh, I'm just happy they big guy stop going crazy." Goofy said with a sigh of relief
"Same, I swear I'm going to have a panic attack one day and it won't be fun one bit." Weiss responded back
"Same here… same here." Ruby and Yang remarked, as all of the surprises so far had been only adding to their paranoia of anymore shocking reveals or other surprises to come
"We'll just have to deal with them, but if you must know. I'd say never ever, I mean that for us all. But we should never take the power of moms lightly. Not in a million years." Blake explained as she was starting to feel bad for Grimlock being chewed out so much by Kali – "Trust me buddy, I know how you feel. Especially since I used to be more of a trouble maker when I was younger."-
"Wise words indeed Blake." Optimus said as he moved next to her and the girls "I apologize for Grimlocks behavior. When in his berserker state he can be a handful to deal with, though it seems someone has finally been able to quell the rage that runs through his veins."
"Oh yeah." Team RWBY responded, but just then Kali walked back up to the group. Though for the ones laughing aside from Glynda, Fareeha and Ultra Magnus who had a quick laugh. Kali gave them a slightly stern glare making all the laughing cease just like that, making Kali smiled as she claps her hands together
"Now that I have your attention, Grimlock has something to say. Especially to the girls." Kali happily explained as she looked at Grimlock kindly "Oh and Grimlock, mind doing it in your other form please?"
"Y-Yes Miss Kali." Grimlock answered as he transformed back into his robot form before looking at team RWBY though rubbing his head awkwardly
"Go on, you can do it young bot." Kali kindly said with a sweet smile as Grimlock grunted in slight hesitation as he didn't want to; but Kali just gently nudges he leg with her elbow raising an eyebrow. Grimlock sighed as he looked at the girls
"Grimlock is…sorry." Grimlock stated, though Kali motioned him to continue "And Grimlock promise to never ever do it again. So Grimlock asks if you can forgive him. All of you to be exact."
"Well…" Ruby started to say as she looked at the others, along with autobots who just nodded that it was cool. Though Prowl seemed to be more hesitant on it, then again Ruby had figured out easily that Prowl was a more less forgiving type. She sighed before looking back at Grimlock with a small smile "Sure we forgive you."
"Good, now what do you say Grimlock?" Kali kindly asked
"Thank you." Grimlock answered back
"Anyways, now that we've all gotten this out of the way lets-" Glynda began to say, but the noticed Tina and Kim along with the other kids looking to the groups left wide eyed "Children what's wrong?"
"W-W-What kind of monster is that?" Spike asked nervously as the kids kept staring ahead
"Monster?" Glynda asked as she looked ahead "What mo…nster…. Oh no."
"What is that thing?" Hana asked next
"Great…" Donald and Goofy responded, having seen creatures like this when the girl fought in Hades little torment back on Hercules world
"What are you going on about, what is that thing?" Arcee asked now as she and the others were looking at a large bipedal wolf with pitch black fur, red eyes and a white bone mask with red tribal markings
"That my friend, that is a Grimm." Glynda answered as she narrowed her eyes, Kali did the same with the girls quickly got their weapons ready to kill the creature of darkness
"You put kids against those sort of things?" Fareeha asked in slight disgust with Glynda's world even more as she stared at the Grimm in awe and slight nervousness from the Grimm's red eyes while readying her hand held rocket launcher
"Trust us Fareeha, we've taken care of Beowulf's before." Ruby answered as she glared at the Beowulf who quickly booked it around a corner
"It's getting away, after it!" Yang yelled out as she, the girls, Glynda and Kali chased after the Beowulf at extreme speeds just so the thing couldn't get away
"Well you heard them, come on!" Louie yelled as he, his brothers, the twin sisters, the cutie mark crusaders and Spike followed quickly behind
"Guess we should." Hana stated as she looked back at the autobots "Come on, we might need to extra muscle."
"When did the organic start giving orders?" Prowl asked in slight annoyance
"Just give it a rest, you always have to complain about something. Just lighten up for once, even Ultra Magnus is more laid back then you." BumbleBee remarked as he followed the others along with the Dinobots and Springer
"He's got a point Prowl." Hot Rod said as he, Jazz, Arcee and Ratchet made their way over to where the girls had run off to
"Punk." Prowl growled a bit
"Despite what you may think Prowl, I do have to agree that you should try and make friends with these organic. I know after you last mission involving them…you've well…" Optimus started to say, but stopped as he could see the slight pained face Prowl was starting to have
"It's fine, I get your point sir. I'll try." Prowl responded as he began making his way over to the rest too
"Sir, if I may speak." Ultra Magnus asked
"You can old friend, you don't need to ask me." Optimus kindly answered as he patted his old friend's shoulders
"Thank you, but I was going to ask if aligning ourselves with these organics is a wise thing?" Ultra Magnus asked
"I understand your concern, you've always been a good solider on that. But believe me when I say these organics are our allies indeed." Optimus explained kindly
"But how do you know…I mean sir." Ultra Magnus asked with slight hesitation
"Because I see the kindness and earnest in them. I can see they are being honest with us, especially those called Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang." Optimus explained
"I see, well I won't question it sir." Ultra Magnus responded as he began to make his way over to were the others went. Optimus just stayed quiet as he followed his friend. But the walk wasn't even that long, as after a minuet and a half, they arrived at what look to be a large door with the others staring at it
"This isn't good." Glynda said sternly as she glared at the door that said District 7 on it. Though unlike the other doors even the fifth districts door to the graveyard. This door was covered in black tendrils that acted as a door frame. The wood of the door was that of pure darkness and finally even the seventh districts sign was made of what looked like bones and written with blood
"So…what is the problem?" Jazz asked
"Yeah because we may need to know, especially since it's in our home basically." Arcee stated sternly
"Also we need to know what kind of danger we're in." Donald stated as some of the others nodded in agreement with him
"Yep…" Spike muttered as he and the kids were trying to put on a brave face
"Well friends, if that Beowulf went back in here. Then it only means one thing." Weiss explained first
"There's a nest nearby." Blake explained next as she tightened her grip on her keyblade
"So if there's a nest, then there will be a lot more Grimm where that came from." Yang explained now worriedly
"Yeah and that means we got to try taking them all out if possible which I doubt since they have literally a whole district for them." Ruby explained this time as she took a calming breather
"So that means we got to go in and see what we're dealing." Kali explained second to last sternly
"Which means we're going to have to get a lot more back up." Glynda explained last, as she and the others of the Remnant group turned their around to face their present comrades
"With that said, if you would all please go out and get whoever you can to come back with you here to help. That would be very apricated." Ruby kindly asked, then looked at the autobots "Oh can you all go too, whoever may come depending on the number will probably need the transportation. Though everyone here will need it too. So can you pretty please."
"We shall, I only ask for you six to stay safe while we make our departure." Optimus responded
"Well I guess this is the best way to introduce our large metical friend to the rest." Hana joked getting a quick laugh out of almost everyone before they stopped. Then made their way back off to the entrance of this district with the autobots and even the Dinobots transforming into their alt modes which were smaller weird looking dinosaurs. Though the girls took notice that Springer, Jazz and BumbleBee's alt modes were indeed cars. While Ultra Magnus was an armored truck that came with a large wheeled carrier somehow and Arcee's alt mode was a motorcycle. Once everyone else had situated themselves for the ride with their autobot allies, they made their way off until disappearing from sight the girls, Glynda and Kali who looked back at the door to district 7 worriedly
"So…what do you think we'll find in there Miss GoodWitch?" Ruby asked
"Can't say Ruby, but we can guess it will be a lot of Grimm in there." Glynda responded
"Yeah, was that why you lied to the others about that?" Kali asked next
"Well it makes sense she did Kali, I mean they all enough stress as it is." Yang answered, though didn't noticed Kali glare at her a bit for using her real name so casually before looking back at the door
"So…who do you think they'll bring in anyways?" Blake asked curiously, though the others just shrugged aside from Ruby
"Can't say to be honest, but in my own guess I'd say just a few people is all." Ruby kindly answered as she, the girls, Glynda and Kali waited for their comrades to come back with their extra support
-Four hours later-
"Okay… when I asked to round up some people, I didn't think it would be this many." Ruby stated as she, Weiss, Blake and Yang stared at their group which consisted of over 50 plus people. Some they knew from previous visits, some only one or two of the girls knew and the rest the girls guessed were the newest refuges they'd take the time to get to know sooner or later. Everyone was talking to one another, though most if not all of them who hadn't met the autobots looked at them warily
"We apologize for that Ruby, we did as you asked but the outcome was different then we'd thought." Optimus explained
"No really?" Yang asked with slight sarcasm
"Anyways, can someone please explain to us how you all were roped into this?" Weiss asked as the group of people all stopped talking and looked at them
"Great… like I didn't like getting stared at before. Now this is reinforcing that uncomfortable feeling." Blake remarked
"Yeah…" Ruby responded, before putting on a strong front "Okay, first off I want to say thank you for coming, secondly for those who don't know us I guess you call us your saviors. I'm Ruby Rose folks!"
"Guess we might as well." Weiss said, before getting the groups attention on her with a few snaps from her fingers "There we go, now then I'm Weiss Schnee for those who don't know me yet. A pleasure to meet you."
"HEY!" Blake yelled as she got the groups attention quickly, though with some of them if not most of them giving her an odd look because of her cat ears. Blake just let it be, as to not show the unknowns that the staring was bother her "I'm Blake Belladonna, nice to meet you all."
"Yo folks!" Yang screamed at the top of her lungs joyfully getting the groups attention to her very quickly as she waved happily "What's up people, I'm Yang Xiao Long. Glad to meet you folks!"
"Oh girls can we do it please, this the best time to do so. Please, please pretty please?" Ruby happily asked with child like glee as she jumped up in the air a few times not caring if they were in company
"Well…" Weiss began to say, but stopped at how cute her girlfriend was being "Oh okay, Blake, Yang?"
"Might as well." Blake replied in amusement "Sweetie your sister is a fiend with that stare of her."
"I know, I know." Yang remarked as she patted Ruby's head, before Ruby then looked back at the group of theirs
"Anyways, we might be called the savior or such. BUT, we are also known as…" Ruby said as the other just watched in curiosity, bewilderment and confusion as the girls got into poses. One having Blake jump into Yang's arms bridal style as Blake wrapped her arms around Yang's neck. The other pose with Ruby and Weiss holding one another like they were ball room dancing. Once done with their poses, Ruby happily smiled widely "TEAM RWBY!"
"Are these really our saviors?" Nobunaga asked, since no one else that at least hadn't met the girls yet were probably wondering too somewhat
"Got to agree, they look more like color coated dolls." Rocket responded back as he sat on Groot's shoulder
"This coming from the bipedal rotten?" Human Mao asked with a raised eyebrow
"Yeah got to say little buddy, you don't have much room to talk." Sundance kid remarked as Groot glared at them
"Okay cowboy, you any better than me?" Rocket asked back as Sundance rolled his eyes
"He's better than our other five colored coded dolls." Butch replied in defense of his old time friend as he pointed to Neptune's group
"Are you bringing us into this bub, because if you are I will bash your skull in." Blanc threatened as she readied her mace, while Sundance pulled out his revolver and cocked back the firing hammer
"Again, everytime someone makes a comment you don't like you either threaten or do shoot at them." Tojo responded back in slight annoyance as he looked back at Yuffie who was covering her bandaged arm while she glared at Sundance
"I'm still going to get you back for that." Yuffie said with dead serious tone "You better watch when you sleep."
"Wait what when did this happen?" Robbie asked
"When you and little brat here were talking in your room." Huang explained bluntly as he pointed to Hana who went wide eyed
"WAIT WHAT?" Vert remarked with a wide smile "OH YOU HAVE TO TELL ME MORE HANA, ALL OF THE DIRTY GOSSIPE!"
"WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Robbie replied, only to get elbowed in the stomach by 76 before being lifted up by the collar by the man
"YOU SON OF BITCH I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" 76 screamed in a very protective tone as he started to kind of chock out Robbie
"Hey none of that!" Lehm said as he started to pull 76 away from Robbie
"Yeah dude don't flip!" Rainbow Dash said next as she helped with pulling 76 off of Robbie
"Dad 76 indeed." Neptune joked
"Did you make that up on your own?" Tamon asked with blunt tone as he was somehow still smoking on the same cigarette he had when first coming to this place
"Yeah why?" Neptune happily asked
"Nothing just surprised you had the brain capacity to do so." Tamon remarked as Neptune suddenly start to cry as she sat on the ground from the insult, though this didn't go well with Noire
"THAT'S IT YOU OLD FART, YOU DO NOT MAKE MY NEPTUNE CRY!" Noire screamed as she lunged at Tamon before being to punch in as he blocked her punched much to his annoyance. Qrow, Tia-Yang and Ghira decided to try to break the fight up, though Noire was proving difficult to pry away as she really wanted to hurt Tamon
"Oh don't mind that old fart, he's just in a bad mood." Olminu said kindly, trying to help out one of her new friends in feeling better as she then looked at Hannibal sitting on the ground next to her "Right Hannibal?"
"Fortify the barrack for the thief's after my treasure!" Hannibal answered happily, but with stern look
"Lady I don't think he's even in there to be honest." Peter said as he looked at the old man "Must suck going senile."
"DIRTY THEIF!" Hannibal yelled out suddenly as he got up and…. well like usually attacked Publius who had at this point had tried to stay out of this strange set of events going on. Both men quickly beating the ever loving hell out of one another
"WHY ARE THEY FIGHTHING?" Leon asked seeing this, only to be picked up by Drax
"FIGHTING!" Drax screamed as he held in Leon in a throwing position
"No, no I was just saying you bald moron!" Leon responded, only to be throw into Alfred and Lutz's who had also deiced to try staying of this sudden weirdness
"Hey you want someone to fight lets fight!" Toyohisa stated with a wide grin as Drax look at him both deiced to make this a 'friendly' fist fight only for Naoshi to jump in on the bloody violence because well he was bored
"Ugh, boys." Valmet said as she, Applejack and Fareeha stood at the side lines too
"Yeah I know what you mean." Fareeha said next rolling her eyes
"Well at least we ain't like that ladies." Applejack said as Valmet and Fareeha nodded in agreement until Drax of all people looked back up at them
"What are you children or are the females of your species weak for a fight!" Drax yelled out, though only because he thought it would be a playful joke… he was wrong as Applejack, Fareeha and Valmet look at one another before looking back at the boys
"Ladies, we can put our kind nature behind us for the moment right?" Valmet asked cracking her knuckles
"Oh we sure can." Applejack stated as she narrowed her eyes
"Yep, shall we?" Fareeha asked as she, Applejack and Valmet quickly lunged at the boys attacking them with all their furious might
Meanwhile as this happened Johnny, Slade, a still blushing Hana, Angela, Lena, Bastion, Winston, Groot, Gomora, Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Compa, Eileen, Maria, Yin, Hei, Mao, Huang Max, Chumbucket, Dinky Di, Aerith, Koko who was hugging Jonah because she could, Lutz, Mao, Tojo, Ugo, Wiley, R, Nobunaga, Yoichi, Sundance, Winter, Glynda, Ozpin, the kids, the Autobots, Ikail, Dante, Guin, Donald, Goofy and HK-97 moved over to team RWBY. All of them watching the strangeness go on with their more violent prone allies who had started fighting one another
"So… we can all agree this has gone south right?" Lutz asked
"Like really south." Slade remarked as he sighed from the oddness
"Yeah…" Johnny replied as he looked to the girls to see Weiss and Blake "Oh by the way I'm Johnny and the old guy next to me is Slade."
"Ladies." Slade said as he tipped his hat to team RWBY, but just then R cut in
"And I'm R, maybe we can get acquainted later on ladies." R said with a sly charming smile
"Oh well…sorry but we're lesbians." Ruby bluntly answered as R slumped a bit
"Damn…" R muttered as Lutz smacked him on the back of the head with an amused smirk before Rarity simply levitated R next to her where she kindly patted his back even if the guy was a prevent at times
"Sorry bout him, he's a nice guy once you get passed his prevented side." Lutz said as he gave the girls a two finger salute "Lutz's then name and if you even need a high quality sniper. I'm your man to go to when my boss lets me do side jobs."
"Maybe one day." Koko joked as she nuzzled he face with Jonah's making the boy blush more
"You really like that kid Koko." Yang stated as Koko smirked
"Oh you have no idea, he is such a cutie and so huggable too!" Koko answered joyfully
"This is Koko." Ruby said to Weiss and Blake who awkwardly waved at Koko who was hugging Johan way too much for most boy's sanity around his age
"Pleasure is all mine oh Johan say hi." Koko kindly responded as Johan just looked at the girls and gave them a hello nod; mostly because his mouth was slightly covered by Koko's left arm and two he was way too flusters to even speak since he had said older woman's breast against his back making his usually clam attituded push to its limits
"That boy has nerves of steel." Nobunaga remarked "Surprised he hasn't passed out yet."
"Why?" Spike asked
"Well…" Nobunaga started to say, but was cut off by Twilight who bucked him right in the leg as he fell over in pain "AH WHY?"
"You are not corrupting Spike Nobunaga!" Twilight angrily said as Maria gently patted her head, making Twilight clam down quickly "Thank you."
"Welcome." Maria responded as she looked back at the Spike and the other kids who all were keeping quiet "You all will leave question like that for later on in life, understood?"
"Yes miss Maria." The kids kindly said
"Aw, so cute!" Angela happily squealed next to Hei
"Thanks, I wanted to losing my hearing." Hei stated bluntly as Angela glared at him while Hana was still blushing like a lot. Eileen had moved up next to Hana, patting the girls back
"Trust me child, I know how you feel." Eileen said as she had been young once too with her share of embarrassing moments of romance
"Yeah don't worry dear, I'm sure you and Robbie would make a cute couple." Aerith kindly stated, though Hana only blushed more as Aerith sheepishly smile
"Anyways ladies I'm Ugo. Need a badass driver you can call for me." Ugo said with a kind nod to team RWBY
"And if you need someone who's great with explosion, I'm your man." Wiley added in with a smile
"I'm good with intel." Mao simply explained to team RWBY, as the cat Mao jumped on his shoulder
"Good to know, me and you are gonna get well acquainted if the need for intel ever arises." Cat Mao remarked with a smirk or at least the bets one he could do with his cat body
"I'm still getting use to that cat talking." Yoichi said even if he had taken a liking to cat Mao
"Trust me, I wish the pest didn't." Huang said as sighed at how weird everything was at the moment
"Oh be nice you." Fluttershy replied as she moved over to them with a stern look, before looking at Mao "He's such a sweetie."
"Yes he is!" Compa joyfully said as she picked up cat Mao and hugged him before looking back at team RWBY "I'm Compa and my friend Neptune, Noire, Vert and Blanc are the girls that were insulted along with me. Oh we have little sister but they're still in the clinic and are safe enough to left alone for a bit."
"Well I hope we can meet them too Compa." Blake said as the girls nodded in agreement
"They seem like nice girls just to say." Chumbucket responded as he moved up to the girls along with Dinky-Di, Max and Winter "I'm Chumbucket if you forgot me. Lot of people do."
"Well we didn't and we're glad to see you and Dinky- Di are doing well." Weiss said kindly as Dinky-Di barked, then Max moved up to the girls as he inspected them
"Something wrong?" Winter asked suddenly as she took notice of Max looking over her sister and the girls
"Nothing concerning you." Max responded back as Winter wanted to argue but saw Weiss giving her a slight glare making Winter sigh as she rolled her eyes. Max then looked back at the girls as he studied them some more "You four are… something."
"Um thanks…" Ruby responded as she waited for the man to say his real name
"Max." Max answered
"Oh well thanks and nice to meet you Max." Ruby said happily, glad as well to see the wounded man was much better than their first meeting
"I am Groot!" Groot happily yelled pushing past Max as he waved
"Oh what a nice fellow." Weiss remarked as she and the girls could tell Groot was a friend
"And I'm Gomora, also before you ask that's all he says." Gomora explained
"Don't worry then, we have had to deal with a similar situation." Yang joked as Bastion waved
"Beep, boop, vroop!" Bastion happily responded as the girls smiled at the kind words of robotic friend
"Well since we're doing introductions, I am Yoichi and I must say it's nice to meet you four finally." Yoichi stated with a quick bow
"Are you a woman?" Ruby asked, but got a slight elbow by Blake "Ow, Blake?"
"Kind of rude to say." Blake explained
"Oh no worries, I get that a lot but no I am a man." Yoichi answered as the girls just shrugged in acceptance of the answer even if he looked very much like a lady at least face wise
"Statement: Mistresses I only kept quiet because I wanted to see what strangest would happen. But may I suggest, but shouldn't we get our group back on the true task at hand" HK-97 suddenly suggested
"Yes think we should, before we get stuck longer in this." Yin explained as everyone was either fighting, arguing or having some sort of talk/confrontation aside from the autobots, Winter, Glynda, Ozpin, Kali, Dante, Guin, Ikail, Donald, Goofy and the others who had stayed out of the strange group fight
"Yeah…" Ruby responded as she looked up at Optimus and the autobots "Mind if one of you could help?"
"Allow me." Optimus responded kindly before looking at the still arguing/ fighting members of their large group
"What's he going to do?" Dante asked
"Well Dante the only thing a giant mechanical robot can do." Ikail answered with a smirk
"Which is…." Guin asked once more as Donald and Goofy wondered too
"You'll see boys." Team RWBY replied in amusement as Optimus pulled out his gun, then with a few pulls of his trigger fired off some rounds which since it came from such a large gun made a very loud few booms. This startled not only the rowdier of the group, but even some of them who had stayed out of the strange argument/fight as at least the rowdy ones looked to Optimus who was sternly looking at them with his very bright blue eyes
"Now then, since I have attention I would kindly ask for you to cease this behavior so we can get back to anymore questions the girls had. Is that understood?" Optimus asked with a very kind tone, though since well he was an extremely large, bulky robot that had a deep voice that could make anything sound intimidating weather he wanted it to or not. Everyone who had been in the argument/fight though could have said no and continued off with what they were doing, decided not to tick off the giant robot or his friends. With that everyone involved with the argument/fight either said sorry, glared at one another or well let it be until they could find a better time to settle things. The ones in the group who stayed out of the fight quickly regrouped with the others. Though Ikail, Dante, Guin, Donald, Goofy and HK-97 decided to stay next to the girls who didn't mind the company of their friends. Optimus then looked back at Ruby "The floor is yours Ruby."
"Thanks big guy." Ruby happily said, before wondering on another question "Hey…I'm curious but how did all of and I mean all of who didn't know about the autobots even react when you saw them?"
"Ah…" The whole group aside from the ones next to the girls, the ones who had meet the autobots beforehand, the autobots obviously and the kids who had meet them prior to this said. All of them looking at one another as they remembered what had transpired, mostly because they had been in the third district to meet the autobots which from ones who had been in that area before had taken notice it became quite larger. The initial meeting wasn't a dignified one, not one bit
-Initial meeting with the autobots: 1-hour earlier-
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" The whole group screamed in either shock, awe, awe/shock or some other form of unknown feelings or surprise and fear as the autobots had just revealed themselves to their comrade they had yet meet. The only ones not screaming with the more silent or emotionally void refuges who just looked at the large robots while letting everyone else scream their lungs out
"I told you not to do that BumbleBee and Hot Rod, told you both to wait until Optimus went first to ease the shock since I knew they would have this reaction." Ultra Magnus said with a sigh as he pinched the bridge of his metallic nose
"Yeah… primus I can't say I might not off myself before this ends." Prowl grumbled in annoyance
"Man what a downer." Spike whispered to Scootaloo who nodded in agreement as they both liked Prowl despite his attitude, but also saw as him a slight downer because of that attitude of his
"Well at least they're getting it our of their systems now." Kim stated as she and her sister Tina were covering their ears
"Yeah but how much longer, ya'll think soon?" AppleBloom asked as she noticed her sister was for once freaking out like a lot
"Can't say AppleBloom, but I hope so." Kali responded as she was covering at least her cat ears sine those were ten times more sensitive than her human ears. Though she was glad her husband had already met the autobots, though would have found it funny to see his reaction if he hadn't yet
"So are all organics this on edge?" Jazz asked
"Not all of them, but this maybe we can consider this an exception?" Donald asked as he saw Dante and Ikail screaming too. Dante more from sudden shock, while Ikail was screaming from shock/awe, meanwhile Guin just sighed as he gave Donald and Goofy a shrug "Really…"
"You know any louder and this could be a lethal sound based weapon." Arcee joked a little getting a laugh out of some of the kids
"We're already recording to do just that." Hewy, Dewy and Lewy happily answered as they were covering their ears, though had somehow found a tape recorded that was currently recording everyone screaming
"And we already made agreements to weaponize it!" Sweetie Belle joyfully said with an innocent smile as AppleBloom and Scootaloo smiled widely too
"Cutie Marker Crusader Weapon makers!" The CMC member screamed in joy
"I find that cute and yet…really disturbing." Swoop remarked wide eyed while Snarl and Slug nodded slowly in disturbed agreement while the screaming surprisingly still kept going
"Okay this is starting to get a bit much." Glynda stated as she was surprised that they had kept up their screaming up this long with no stop
"Me Grimlock could-" Grimlock began to say, as he was slowly pulling out his sword again, though quickly saw the glare of disapproval from Kali which prompted the mighty Dinobot leader to quickly put his sword away and rub the back of his head sheepishly "Could just let them scream it out. Grimlock will do that…"
"Good, no need to get everyone more scared." Kali said as she gave him a quick pat on his left with her right hand before retracting it back to cover her cat ear "Such a good well behaved bots."
"Thank you." Grimlock responded with scary, very out of character bashful tone
"That still scares me on how you can do that." Springer remarked, while Kali smirked
"Like my baby kitten Blake said, never doubt the power of a mom." Kali proudly remarked
"Seriously the frag is a mom?" Prowl muttered once more, though only for Bumblebee and Hot Rod to overhear it
"I'll tell you what it is, it's a super weapon." BumbleBee explained
"No, no. It's like a family figure." Hot Rod explained as Prowl and BumbleBee raised an eyebrow at the phrasing "Oh never mind."
"So… how much longer can we wait this out?" Ultra Magnus asked suddenly as the group was still somehow screaming at the top of their lungs
"Who knows, for now lets just wait." Glynda answered as she and the others continued to wait out the screaming
-Present time-
"TOOK IT WELL!" The group yelled out a little too quickly, as the girls looked to one another in slight confusion
"Trust me, we did." Guin responded
"Oh yeah we did." Dante stated quickly too
"So now since that is out of the way, Weiss you still have one more question right?" Ikail stated with a sheepish smile
"Yes I think she does?" Ruby said kindly as she hugged Weiss "Right sweetie?"
"Yep." Weiss answered happily as she hugged Ruby back lovingly, before letting go "But like I asked earlier, but for real how did you all get roped into this?"
"Oh I can answer that!" Pinkie Pie stated proudly
"Oh god, we're going to be here for a while." Nobounaga remarked, only to get a smack across the back of his head by Norie "Okay what now?"
"Just be nice you old fart, besides at least Pinkie Pie is fun to be around and doesn't smell like garbage." Norie explained with a mocking smirk
"Little bi-" Nobounaga was about to say, but stopped when he noticed Neptune, Bastion, Angela, Slade and Sundance looking at him "Never mind…"
"Ha." Noire proudly said with a wide smile as she and others turned their attention back to Pinkie Pie and the girls
"Okay, well Pinkie the floor is yours." Blake kindly said as Pinkie Pie smiled
"Alright, well then first off Fareeha came into the hotel where our room is the first one to the right of the hallway were well most of our rooms are. Anyway's she came into our room explaining the situation. Then Applejack suggested that we get a bit more back up, so Rarity went over to Neptune and her friends room. When she came in only Neptune and Norie were in there sleeping in the same bed together and they held one another. Just like a cute couple!" Pinkie Pie joyfully began explaining, but was quickly cut off by a blushing Norie
"It wasn't anything sexual or romantic Pinkie Pie, it was just two friends sleeping in one bed!" Noire yelled as Neptune sheepishly rubbed the back of her head with a slight blush on her cheeks
"Right." Everyone else in the group remarked with smirks, making Neptune blush a bit more while a very embarrassed Norie just motioned Pinkie Pie to continue with her explanation
"ANYWAY… so after we got those two out of bed the rest came in and I explained to them about what Fareeha had explained so they decided to come." Pinkie Pie explained, though this time Vert came up next to her
"Hello again, I can take over from here." Vert happily explained as Pinkie Pie let her have the floor now "So after Pinkie Pie was done with us, I went over to Vladimir's room where he Eileen, Alfred and Maria slumbered at. Got them up quickly then well one person talk to another one. Some of us traveled into the other districts and well this is what we ended up with." Vert joyfully explained as she and Pinkie Pie smiled widely
"Okay then, guess that's the best we'll be getting for answers." Weiss remarked "Still maybe we should get going."
"Yeah, the Grimm ain't going to sit around for us to find them." Yang stated while Blake, Ikail, Guin, Dante, Goofy and Donald nodded in agreement
"Right, then let's get a move on people. ONWARDS!"" Ruby proudly yelled as the doors to this new district opened suddenly. Then she, the girls, the autobots, their relatives, the kids and their very large group entered through. Though most of them wondered what was going to be in store for them in this new monstrous District 7…
So, how'd you like it and are questions swarming through your minds? Strange, liked it, hated it, half-half with it. Also, if your wondering about how many more refuges I have planned; only a few more I will say. Who you'll see one way or another, though I have been wondering on something. A while ago I remember from a review I read that maybe I should do a side story on the tales of Traverse Town. If I do it would be a very slow process but a fun one, though it would be stories that took place between the chapters that go on during the main story of Four Hearts. Only reason I'm bringing this up is I want to see what all your opinions would be on this possible new side story idea. Anyways if you want to leave a review for my story or PM me then do so my fellow readers. Though until then next chapter (which will be a very fun one to write and read once done mind you), I wish you all to have magnificent days to come in your life's! :D
