Team RWBY would usually celebrate after a battle but instead, the WBY part were arguing with Ruby while Roman and Neo were waiting outside. The only issue was that WBY were too loud so Roman and Neo could here everything.
Yang: YOU'RE HELPING CRIMINALS RUBY, CRIMINALS!
Ruby: WE ARE HELPING EACH OTHER YANG, THEY AGREED TO GO WITH ME! DON'T YOU THINK I'D BE DEAD ALREADY IF THEY WERE TRYING TO KILL ME!
Blake: guys quiet down, my ears can't handle this.
Weiss: RUBY, THEY MIGHTN'T HAVE KILLED YOU YET, MAYBE THEY WOULD HAVE BACK STABBED YOU WHILE YOU HAD YOUR FUCKING BACK TURNED.
Ruby: CAN YOU STAY OUT OF THIS ICE QUEEN.
Weiss: STOP CALLING ME THAT AND NO.
Roman: well Neo, something tells me it's gonna be a long night, wanna go see the remains of the giant thing?
Neo: Sure, better than listening to them argue.
Roman and Neo left to check out the Triarch stalker while team RWBY were still arguing.
Ruby: CAN'T YOU JUST TRUST THEM?
Yang: NO RUBY, THEY ARE FUCKING CRIMINALS, THE MAY HAVE LEFT CINDER BUT THAT DOESN'T CHANGE WHAT THEY ARE.
Ruby: DON'T THEY AT LEAST DESERVE A CHANCE?
Yang: RUBY, YOU ARE DELU- BLAKE WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
Blake: Away from here, I don't know about you guys but the shouting is hurting my ears. AND I HAVE FOUR OF THEM!
Blake left and slammed the door shut. She left to go and find Roman and Neo who were looking around at the Triarch Stalker.
Roman: Ahh, the kitty.
Blake: Don't call me that.
Roman: Then what do I call you?
Blake: Just call me Blake, what are you doing.
Roman: Well, me and Neo were checking this piece of machinery.
Blake: Why? To fix it and kill us all?
Roman: No, to ensure there aren't any more Necrons inside it, I don't know about you but I don't want a Necron to jump out and magically fix the whole thing.
Blake: So… you're not evil?
Neo: We were just normal criminals before we were employed by Cinder. She didn't treat us well and almost got us killed twice, and now… she's dying a slow and painful death at the hands of bloodthirsty Necrons.
Blake: How do you know?
Neo: I had a dream that just felt so… real. Might have been a vision.
Blake: What made you quit?
Roman: Well… the fact we had awakened something that could kill you in a single hit made us want to leave and let Cinder fight for herself instead of using us to fight for her.
Blake: If only the others would listen…
Roman: I'll admit, Red is annoying.
Neo: And perverted.
Blake: She's what?
Neo: Never mind.
Roman: But, she's a good kid. And I'd hate for her to be turned to ash.
Blake: That's… awfully sweet of you.
Yang: BLAKE, TELL THE ICE CREAM BITCH TO GET HER FUCKING ASS HERE!
Neo: THE ICE CREAM BITCH HAS A NAME, LEARN IT OR FUCK OFF!
Blake: I have four ears, refrain from shouting please.
Neo: Sorry.
Neo walked to the shack as Torchwick and Blake stayed with the Triarch.
Roman: What's weird is that the other bodies just disappeared, so why hasn't this?
Blake: Don't know to be honest. Also, how and why is Ruby Perverted?
Roman: Well I made her and Neo share a room cause someone like me needs his space. I found them hugging each other the next morning and then I got beat to death by Neo, worth it if you ask me.
Blake couldn't help but chuckle.
Blake: According to Yang, Ruby shuffles a lot in her sleep.
Roman: So does Neo, I've been keeping an eye on her since the day we met.
Blake: How did you meet?
Roman: I'm afraid… Blake, is it?
Blake: Yeah.
Roman: I do believe it's better to share the story with everyone than one person at a time. If the others will accept us. Something tells me ice queen won't.
Blake: You should be more worried of Yang than Weiss.
Neo: What is it?
Yang: what is it is that I will bash your head into the ground if you speak to me like that again.
Neo: I'd love to see you try.
Yang: WANT A PIECE OF ME BITCH?!
Neo: SO WHAT IF I DO? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, I DESTROYED YOU ON THE TRAIN.
Yang: YOU DIDN'T KILL ME DID YOU?!
Neo: SOMEONE CAME AND STOPPED ME, YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL YOU'RE NOT DEAD YET!
Ruby: SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU JUST CALM DOWN FOR TWO GOD DAMN SECONDS PLEASE!
Weiss: I didn't even say anything.
Ruby: Look Yang, these Necrons are looking for the rest of the tombs, once they do, everything we know to exist, will be gone as if it never was. Wether we like it or not, Neo and Roman have knowledge on them, not to mention their fighting skills are as good as ours, maybe even a bit better.
Weiss: Yang, you know she's right.
Yang: OH JUST FUCKING GRAT, SO WHAT WE ARE JUST SUPPOSED TO GO AROUND WITH TWO EX CRIMINALS AND JUST FORGIVE THEM AFTER THEY TRIED TO KILL US COUNTLESS FUCKING TIMES?!
Ruby: Yang, calm down.
Yang: COUNTLESS FUCKING TIMES RUBY, COUNTLESS!
Neo: I don't expect you to forgive us, I wouldn't either, but we have a common enemy, the only way to defeat them is by teaming up.
Roman: You have three options team RWBY right?
Blake: Yep.
Roman: 1. You 4 ditch me and Neo and we all end up dying because of that choice. 2. Ruby stays with me and Neo and us three go and stop the Necrons ourselves, small chance of success. And finally 3. We all team up and fight the Necrons to stop them, higher chances of success. Make your choice.
Team RWBY huddled up to discuss their options.
Weiss: Honestly, I think option 3 is out best bet.
Yang: But…
Blake: You heard Torchwick, the other 2 have less chances of success than 3.
Yang: Ffffffffffine, but if either of them tries anything, I will personally put them 6 feet under.
Ruby: Fine with me. Alright Roman, we have decided to go with option 3.
Roman: Excellent choice my dear Red.
Yang: Reluctantly.
Roman: I hope you are as good fighting as you are at complaining.
Suddenly, something could be heard from outside, they all rushed to see a crescent moon shaped object flying over the remains of the Triarch Stalker.
Yang: That's one of the things from the attack on Beacon!
The Night Scythe activated it's disembarkment portal and many Canoptek Scarbs came out. They all began to tie chains around the Stalker. Soon, they returned to the Night Scythe as it flew off carrying the Triarch Stalker.
Blake: That's why it didn't disappear, they needed to retrieve it manually.
Ruby: Shit, we gotta move, we aren't safe here.
?: Commander O'Kais, we have detected an anomaly from universe 162 planet 1.
Shias O: What seem to be the problem master Ethereal?
Ethereal: The Necrons that lay dormant there are awake and rebuilding their legions, soon the Titan Scythe will be functional.
Shias O pressed a button that unleashed an alarm. The Tau base was located on the moon of the second Kuarava planet in Universe 475. The alarm alerted the whole base, Tau Breacher teams rushed to their weapons, Fire warriors marched into line, Kroot, finishing training before beginning to board the transport ships.
?: Sir, I do believe that it is unwise to send our whole army there.
Shias O: And why would that be?
?: The planet you are going to is full of technology we know not of. It could be stronger than all our guns, maybe even the Manta.
Shias O: You have no right in telling me what to-
Ethereal: Stand down, Shias O'Kais. As for you, what do you suggest we do?
?: Simple, Send me in there.
Shias O: Absolutely not!
?: I know more of Necrons than anyone in this base, not to mention my staff is NECRON creation.
Shias O: Very well, you will take one of the camo-transport ships along with Two fire warriors.
?: Yes commander.
Ethereal: Here *hands ? A communication device*. If the Titan Scythe is almost ready to launch, or if you are close to death, press the button, we will immediately be alerted and will send all we can to the area before it is too late. We will also contact the other factions in hopes they will help us.
?: Understood, I will depart immediately.
2 days after Ruby and friends left the village
Ruby: Look! Another village!
Blake: Finally, something that isn't forest!
Weiss: Sweet relief.
Yang: Why do I have to carry her?
The group had been ambushed by a single Necron who shot Neo's leg. Neo was now unable to walk until her leg healed.
Roman: Again, we put it to a vote.
Yang: Why didn't you do it? You're here "father figure".
Roman: Unfortunately, as small as she is, no offence, I would be unable to carry her due to the amount of ice cream she chooses to eat, again no offence.
Yang: And why me?
Weiss: You're stronger than all of us, it only made sense.
Yang: Ugh.
Roman: What's that about?
The six walked into the town only to find a weird space ship with a man with a staff on top, along with two armoured… things who were somehow shorter than Neo.
?: Do not fret people of this planet, the greater good has arrived to assist you.
Man 1: We don't want your help!
Man 2: Yeah!
Man 3: Go back to whatever hole you crawled out from!
One of the short guards shot at a man in the crown who was about to throw a weapon at ?. Ruby and her friends did not see the man attacking, so they assumed he was doing it for fun or something. Ruby grabbed her scythe and charged at the man. The short guards saw her and began to shoot, to their surprise, Ruby deflected and blocked the shots and knocked the Man off the ship as she followed. Roman, Weiss and Blake engaged battle with the guards to stop them from attacking Ruby. After a few minutes of trying to get close they just couldn't.
Blake: What do we do?
Roman: They don't seem to have means of melee, if we can get close they should fall easily. I'll shoot to distract them while you two rush forward and take them out.
Roman shot his cane to create a smoke cloud, The fire warriors couldn't see anything through the smoke, the two were killed by Blake and Weiss just as the smoke began to fade. The man was fighting off Ruby, both their weapons were clashing. Eventually, the man got the best of Ruby and knocked her down, pointing his staff at her.
?: For the greater good, I, Ethereal Novokh, declare you dead by the hands of a Tau Ethereal.
Ruby: Tau?
?: You know, best ranged combat faction to exist? Only faction that is technically good?
Ruby: If you're so good, then why did you kill that man?
?: He was gonna throw something sharp, it was self defence.
Ruby: I thought you were killing people who didn't bow down to you.
?: No.
The man helped Ruby up as he headed towards the crowd who had dispersed. Ruby explained everything to her team as Yang finally caught up.
Yang: What did I miss?
?: This must be Xiao Long, and may I ask who is that and why are you carrying her?
Yang: A girl Ruby won't let us leave behind, shot by a Necron laser if you even know what that is.
?: Put her down.
Yang dropped Neo quite harshly. The man kneeled beside her and waved his staff over her, allowing her to heal instantly.
Weiss: How did you?
?: Necron tech, it can heal really well, though Necrons don't even know this. Anyways, I'm off.
Blake: To where?
?: The Tau main base. It is clear that you have everything under control for now. This was only a scouting mission after all. I shall report to my leader, Shias O'Kais about what has happened. But before then, I will give you some items to aid you.
The man handed Ruby a few items.
?: First up we have a Necron resurrection orb. I modified it to heal Necron made wounds and make it untraceable to Necrons, even if they see it eye to eye they won't recognise it as one of their own. Secondly, A Tau blaster from one of the dead fire warriors. Powerful and doesn't require bullets, I suggest giving it to the girl I healed, her weapon could use some ranged additions. Lastly, a Tau communication device. If you enter a giant onslaught of Necrons who are soon to revive the Titan Scythe, press the button and all Tau units will be ready to arrive and aid you in combat.
Ruby: What iff even with your help we fail?
?: Fear not, the Tau are sworn to the greater good. If the Titan Scythe's awakening is inevitable, we will help evacuate the citizens of this world, Tau has plenty of space in our universe, our main base is located on a moon so we can split your planet into the four on our system. We have enough carriers to launch to every village or home in this planet, our manufactories are very fast and mass producing on one of the planets.
Roman: What even is your name?
?: Right! Where are my manners? I am Ethereal Novokh, Ethereal in training but soon to be official. Novokh comes from the Necron race of Novokh, since I use a Necron modified staff. But you can simply call me Chris. Until next we meet again.
Chris left to his carrier and flew upwards, once he was high enough, his ship flew so fast it went out of site in milliseconds.
Neo: So… am I the only one who's hungry or what?
hope you enjoyed this chapter, to answer something you may be wondering, Yes my OC is her and No he isn't originally from Tau. anyways, you may have noticed I changed my name from thutmose to NeopolitanShyGuy, I didn't like thutmose much, i was just looking for a necron themed name when i was registering for this website. I only got NeopolitanShyGuy when I was playing Mario kart 8 deluxe, I was playing as a Pink shy guy and I only chose pink because it reminded me of Neo, so eventually I cam up with the nickname; NeopolitanShyGuy. anyways, if you have any questions, just post a review and I will answer it as soon as i upload the next chapter for whichever fanfiction of mine you posted a review on. I will make 1 or 2 more chapters of this one and then i'll write a few for the other one.
see you guys soon!
