Hello, Net Ops. Centurion Maximo and Mobian jacking back into Rwby: NT Warrior. It's been a while, but we're back in the cyber world. In the last chapter, Mr. Yellow and Wrecker Man got sprung by another OC WorldIII agent named Boomer who is a Kangaroo faunus and his Netnavi: Wind-Up Man.
This chapter will have a little personal touch for two of our eight main protagonists.
Without further ado, let's jack in and power up!
Squire Man was holding his shield to block an attack. A mace slammed against his shield. The mace was being held by a human netnavi. He was wearing a galea, roman armor covering his body. He kept slamming the mace into the the shield.
"Jaune, how much longer should I keep blocking his attack because my arm is getting tired." Squire Man stated.
"Just a little bit longer, Squire Man." Jaune responded
"Just give up, Jaune. You and your pathetic Netnavi don't stand a chance against Gladiator." Cardin gloated.
"It takes a lot more than brute strength to win a Net Battle." Jaune retorted.
"Oh, Jaune. I'm going to prove you wrong about that. Gladiator! It's time to finish off these losers." Cardin ordered.
"Got you, boss." Gladiator acknowledged. "Gladiator Mace!" He started running towards Squire Man and jumped into the air, using the momentum to increase his destructive power. He headed straight down toward his target.
"Cannon! Battle Chip! Download!" Jaune shouted. Squire Man's hand morphed into a cannon and fired at Gladiator. The shot hit him and sent him flying backwards. Then a buzzer went off.
Sorceress made her presence known. "The winners are Jaune and Squire Man of Team JNPR."
"What?! How did they win the match? We pounded on them the whole time. Cardin spat angrily.
"Mr. Winchester, you may have attacked the whole time but they blocked your attacks. While you were simply wasting energy, Mr. Arc was waiting for the right moment to strike. When he did strike, your Netnavi took damage and time ran out. So in tournament settings. Jaune won because he damaged his opponent without taking any damage at all." Glynda explained to everyone in the room.
"You must remember that a tournament net battle has a time limit. So you must defeat your opponent before time runs out whereas fighting a rogue Net Op and Netnavi are a different kind of a problem. While trying to capture them, you must think of civilians That could get hurt in the process. So you must be careful about how you get the job done." Sorceress explained.
"It would seem our time is up. So students, see you tomorrow and remember: Keep practicing." Professor Goodwitch said.
"So guys, I'm hungry. Is anyone coming with me to the Dining Hall?" Ruby asked.
"Well, that was our last class for the day and I'm a bit hungry myself, so I will join you, Ruby." Blake smiled.
"We all know what you want, Blake, is a Meow full of tuna." Yang punned.
"Yang, you have something in your hair." Blake smirked.
"What!?" Yang went to look at a window to check out her hair when she saw nothing in her hair but Blake's reflection smirking at her. "You got me. How about I don't joke about your fish and you dont mess with my hair."
"Deal!" Blake said shaking hands with Yang. "What about you, Weiss? Are you ready to eat?"
Before she could answer, Snow Woman had something to tell her. "Weiss, your father is calling." She informed.
"Girls, I'll catch up after seeing what my father wants." Weiss waved her friends goodbye and prepared herself for what her father calling about. "Alright, Snow Woman, put the call through." Snow Woman nodded and an image appeared on the screen of a man with light blue eyes, white hair and a mustache. He was wearing a white dress shirt and dress pants. "Hello father, what can I do for you? Weiss asked.
"Weiss, straight to the point as always. The Schnee Battle Chip Company is putting on a benefit consort in Vale tonight. So I need you to represent the company. I also thought you would like eight VIP backstage passes for your team and your friends." Jacques smiled.
Weiss could tell her father was up to something. "Father ,if you except me to sing, I should have been told a lot sooner than the night of the concert. Beacon has a strict 10:00 clock curfew. Why are you being so generous by giving me eight VIP back stage passes?" She asked.
"After you decided to follow in your sister's footstep, I thought it would be best have a back up singer. So I found an up and coming singer named Nightingale. Also your little act of rebellion put you in getting something I've wanted for sometime now. Two times, I've failed at convincing them to join the SBCC but you will succeed were I failed." Jacques said.
"Father, what are you talking about?" Weiss asked.
"I decided to check to see who's your team. As a Schnee, your team must be the very best. Who did I find on your team?" A picture of Ruby appeared on the screen. "I want you to recruit her by any means necessary. If she's as talented as her mother or uncle, then we can't let this opportunity escape us. So I want you do what ever it take get her to sign a contact with us." Jacque said with a smug face. After that, the call ended.
"It's not fair." Weiss sniffled with tears running down her face. "I finally have friends who like me for me and now he wants me use one of them. They're going to hate me afterward."
"Weiss, I know you're upset but you need to tell them everything your father said. If they are really your friends, they will like you for you. Now let's go meet your friends and get you something to eat." Snow Woman said.
"You're right, Snow Woman." Weiss smiled slightly. With that, she headed to the Dining hall. After getting her food, she looked around for her friends when she noticed a bouncing Ruby waving to her, so she walked over to table and sat next to Ruby.
"So Weiss, we heard you got a call from your dad. How did it go?" Jaune asked softly.
"That's what I need talk to you all about. Before that though, I need tell you something: I'm the heiress of the SBCC." Weiss revealed. "I hope this doesn't change anything between us."
"Wait, you're the Heiress of the SBCC!?" Ruby exclaimed in a surprised tone.
"Ruby, you own several of her songs on your PET." Yang said and lightly slapped her sister's face.
"I kinda stopped paying attention to the SBCC after Jacques took over." Ruby sheepishly admitted.
"Weiss, I think I can speak for everyone at the table that we don't care that you are the heiress of the SBCC. You're our friend and that's all that matter to us." Ren said
"What about you Blake? I know my father doesn't treat Faunus fairly." Weiss stated.
"You're right, I don't like the way your father treats his Faunus employees but it would be unfair of me to blame you for something you have no control over. I also have high respect for your grandfather. He always treated his employees fairly." Blake maturely answered.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Nora asked.
"He wants me to represent the SBCC tonight at a benefit concert to show that we care about the public and good photo ops can only improve our standings with the public. He gave me eight VIP back stage passes. He also wants me get Ruby to sign a contract to work with us. Don't worry Ruby, I have no plan on following his order." Weiss said. Immediately after, a pair of arms were hugging her.
"Thank you, Weiss. You're the best friend I could have asked for and don't worry, I have no interest in working for your father." Ruby smiled, causing Weiss to hug Ruby back.
"So, are we going to the concert?" Pyrrha asked.
"Of course we're going to the concert to Support Weiss and hear her sing." Dragon Woman answered.
"Actually, Weiss isn't singing tonight. Her farther replaced her with a new singer names Nightingale." Snow Woman explained.
"Wow, I thought that my respect for him couldn't get any lower but replacing your own daughter with a new singer, that's a new low, even for him." Neko Woman growled.
"Um girls, I think we are getting off topic here as we don't know when the concert starts." Fairytale Woman brought up.
"Right, I haven't checked my email yet." Weiss said as she opened the email from her father. "Well, the concert starts at 7:00 pm and ends at 9:00 pm. It is being held at Amity Colosseum. It's 5:30 PM now. We have an hour and a half before the concert. We should head out now."
So they got up from their seats and headed out of the Dinning Hall to the front of the school. Once Weiss and company reached front of the school, she noticed a familiar man next to a white limo. He had light brown eyes and brown mustache. He was wearing a black vest, white dress shirt, blue tie and black dress pants. In his vest pocket was a pocket watch. Weiss forgot to be a proper young lady and ran towards the man, gave him a hug.
"It's good to see you my little snowflake." Klein smiled.
"Weiss, who's this?" Magnet Woman asked.
"Everyone, this is Klein Sieben, my Grandfather's closet friend and only person he trusts to run the manor." Weiss smiled.
"He's the family butler." Shock Woman said in excitement.
"He's not just the family butler. He's a dear family friend and the person who raised me." Weiss said with a slight bittersweet tone.
"Miss Schnee, I think you give me to much credit." Klein waved it off. He looked at Weiss to see her pouting at him. It wasn't because he declined what she said but for the fact he called her Miss Schnee instead of Weiss. "Weiss, I'm here to transport you and your friends to Amity Colosseum." He opened the door. One by one Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora and Ren got into the limo. When he turned around, he was in complete shock. Instead of Weiss, Ruby, Blake and Yang, he saw four different girls standing there. The first was a girl with white hair in a low ponytail. The secone person was a girl identical to Ruby wearing white cape with a white hood. The third girl looked like Yang but with black hair and red eyes. Lastly, there was a cat Faunus with short black hair and her cats ears were a bit larger then Blake's cat ears.
"Klein, are you ok?" Weiss asked out of concern for his wellbeing.
"I'm fine, little snowflake, I just got lost in an old memory." Klein tried to reassure her. After that, they got into the limo and he closed the door. "It seems like history is repeating itself." He walked to the front of the limo and got into the driver's seat. The limo pulled away from Beacon.
Sometime later, the limo pulled up to an octagonal stone building with a retractable dome roof. When the limo stopped, the group of teens got out. "We're standing in front of one of four identical buildings that hold the Vytal Festival every year." Lotus explained.
"Actually, there are five of them." Blake revealed. Everybody turned toward her to explain, what she meant by that. "Before I left Menagerie, they were breaking ground for construction of their own Amity Colosseum. The Faunus of Menagerie are hoping after Vale hosts the Vytal Festival, it will be announced that the next festival will be held in Menagerie." She said with hope and excitement in her voice.
"That's amazing, Blake. That means Vale, Vacuo, Mistral and Atlas will finally recognize Menagerie as an independent Kingdom. Wait, each kingdom contributed something to the construction of Amity Colosseum, so what will Menagerie contribute to the Colosseum?" Squire Man inquired.
"The King and Queen have gathered the greatest artists in Menagerie to design five statues represent the unity of Humans, Faunus and Netnavis against the Grimm Viruses." Neko Woman smiled.
Klein cleared his throat to get their attention. "Weiss, I will pick up you and your friends after the concert. There's something Nick wants me to pickup while I'm in Vale. He would like it if you would call him and tell him how school is going."
While this was going on, In the colosseum, a dark-skinned teenage girl with yellow hair going down her back and grey eyes wearing a black denim Jacket, t-shirt, jeans and sneakers was getting ready for her big debut concert. "I'm not sure if I can do this, Music Woman." The girl said in a nervous tone as she looked at her Netnavi for support.
"Nightingale, everything is going to be fine." A female Netnavi with blue eyes, blond hair in a ponytail wearing a black one-shoulder tank top, leather pants and boots tried to reassure her.
Then their was knock at the door. "Miss Nightingale, it's me, Lyra. I brought you a glass of water. Can I come in?" She asked.
"Yes Miss Tune and thank you." Nightingale answered.
At that moment, a teenage girl came in. She had red eyes and purple hair with pink streaks. She was wearing harp shaped earrings, a black leather jacket, a red t-shirt underneath, black jeans and purple and black custom-made sneakers. "Here's the water, Miss Nightingale." She handed the glass of water to her.
Then Nightingale took a sip of the water. "Miss Tune, thank you. If it wasn't for you and the rest of the backstage crew, this show wouldn't be possible." As she was talking, Lyra was getting blurry to her and she dropped the glass of water. "What was in the water?" She fell into a deep slumber.
"Nightingale! What did you do to her?" Music Woman growled.
"We gave her something to help her sleep." Said an unknown female voice.
Music Woman turned around to see an older looking female Netnavi with white hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a white dress would make most male Netnavi drop completely and white heels with a harp. "Who are you?"
"My name is Melody Woman." She answered. "Musical Shockwave!" The shockwave of the sound headed towards Music Woman which knocked her out. "There. I'll take care of Music Woman and you tie up Nightingale."
"Right." Lyra confirmed. She grabbed some of the dresses from the closet to tie up Nightingale and then put her in the closet. "We can now move to step two of our plan. Is the program ready to go, Melody Woman?"
"Yes it's ready to go, once our music starts to play, it will send a subliminal message to everyone who hears it. Then WorldIII will have sleeper agents that we can activate at anytime. We just need to put the program into the sound system and make sure it's in working order." Melody Woman replied.
When Lyra was leaving Nightingale's dressing room, she heard a familiar voice. Her eyes widened and ran over to the blond boy. She gave him a tight hug. "Jaune!" She shouted happily.
"Lyra , What are you doing here." Jaune asked, shocked to see her again.
"What am I doing here? What're you doing here, Jaune?" Lyra asked with a big smile.
"Do you know this girl, Jaune?" Ren asked.
"From a long time ago. Everyone: This is Lyra Tune." Jaune introduced. "Lyra, This is my team from Beacon: Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren and my partner Pyrrha Nikos. Next is my friends who form Team RWBY: Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long."
"So how long have you know Jaune." Pyrrha asked with a slight tone.
"Jaune and I have known each other since we were kids. We even dated.." But before Lyra could finish her sentence, Jaune interrupted her. So Lyra, you never said what you are doing here? " He asked.
"I'm an intern as a member of the backstage crew." Lyra said. "What are you and your friends doing here?"
"My father asked me to represent the SBBC and gave me eight VIP backstage passes to invite my friends." Weiss answered Lyra's question.
"That was nice of your father to do that. Miss Schnee, would you like a tour of Amity Colosseum." Lyra asked.
"That would be nice but I have some SBBC business at the moment. I'm sure everyone else would like a tour." Weiss said.
"Actually, I think I will stay with you, Weiss if that's ok." Ruby said.
"I might as well tag along." Yang agreed with her sister.
"Weiss, we are not going to leave you behind with a bunch of paperwork. So we'll catch you guys later." Blake waved.
So Team RWBY stayed behind while Team JNPR went on a tour with Lyra. At some point, Lyra and Jaune got separated from the rest of team JNPR.
"Lyra, slow down. I think we accidentally lost the rest of my team." Jaune said.
"Good. I was hoping for some alone time with you, Jaune. I missed you so much." Lyra smiled somewhat seductively as she got closer to Jaune and gave him a kiss. That was about the same time Pyrrha found them. She saw the two engaged in the kiss and started to have tears in her eyes holding her hand to her mouth. She quickly ran in the opposite direction of Jaune and Lyra kissing. Jaune pulled away from Lyra. "What's wrong, Jaune?" Then a thought came to her. "Jaune, do you like someone else? Who is it? The energetic ginger, silver eye girl, blond bombshell, the Schnee, bookish cat Faunus or your partner?" You could hear venom in her voice.
"What? Ruby is fifteenth years old and Yang would kill me if hit on her sister. Yang could easily pass as one of my sisters. I think Nora has a crush on Ren. Maybe in another life I would have crush on Weiss. Blake is not my type." Jaune explained.
While this was going on, Pyrrha was running until she bumped into someone. She looked up to see Nora and Ren on the ground and Team RWBY behind them who then picked up their friend off the ground. "Nora, Ren. I'm sorry for bumping into both of you."
"It's ok, Pyrrha." Ren said. "Are you ok? It looks like you've been crying." They saw that Pyrrha had red eyes.
"She saw Jaune kissing Lyra." Magnet Woman answered.
"Pyrrha, do you like Jaune?" Nora asked softly.
Pyrrha's cheeks turned bright red from the question Nora just asked. "Yes" She said with a whisper.
"Pyrrha, there's still one thing I have to take care of but after that, we will help you with your Jaune problem. Weiss responded. Then she turned towards Nightingale's dressing room door, she stood next to the door and knocked on it. "Miss Nightingale, it's Weiss Schnee. I'm here to get you for one last rehearsal before the concert starts. When she didn't get a response, Weiss opened the door to the room and found no one inside. "Snow Woman, did Miss Nightingale tell anyone that she was stepping out for a bit?"
"No, Weiss. She's supposed to be in her dressing room getting ready for the concert." Snow Woman replied.
"Well, maybe she left a note." Ruby suggested. So they went in and checked the desk for a note, but their was no note on the desk when suddenly they heard a pounding noise coming from the closet. Yang went up to the closet door and found Nightingale tied up and untied her.
"What happened, Miss Nightingale?" Ren asked.
Before Nightingale spoke, she picked up her PET. "I'll tell you all what happened after I make sure my Netnavi is ok." She said which everyone nodded their heads in understanding. "Music Woman, are you ok?"
"Yes, I'm fine." Music Woman said.
"Now that I know Music Woman is ok, I can tell you what happened." Nightingale stated. "A backstage crew member named Lyra Tune put something in my water that knocked me out."
"Oh no! Jaune is with her right now!" Pyrrha's voice was leaked with worry.
As they raced toward Jaune, he was talking to Lyra by the sound system. "Don't get me wrong, Lyra..." Jaune began. "You're still the very best friend from my childhood, but I just no longer like you that way. I'm sorry."
"I- I see." Lyra said quietly.
"Jaune! You need to get way from her right now!" Pyrrha shouted.
Jaune looked at his friends and someone he didn't know running towards them. "Pyrrha, what do you mean by that?" He asked.
"She put something in Nightingale's water that knocked her out." Pyrrha answered.
"Jaune, you can't believe I would do something like that." Lyra said having a mask, feigning surprise.
"Lyra, like I said earlier, I've known you for a long time, so I know when you're not telling the truth. What's going on Lyra?" Jaune asked slightly sternly.
They could see the calm mask Lyra was wearing just crumbled to piece and replace with anger. "You want to know what's going on?! It's simple! WorldIII is hijacking the concert! All of you can test the new music program out! Melody Woman! Jack in!"
Jaune was in complete shock as a piece of his hear was crushed finding out his childhood friend, not to mention someone he liked romantically in his past was a member of WorldIII. He felt an arm on his shoulder. He turned his head to see it was Pyrrha.
"Jaune, let me take care of this for you. You're in no condition to face your friend. So please let me handle this." Pyrrha said determinedly.
"Do you mind if I join you in the fight? I owe her for knocking me out." Nightingale said. She could see that Pyrrha understood her. "Music Woman! Jack In!"
"Magnet Woman! Jack In!" Pyrrha shouted.
Magnet Woman and Music Woman entered the sound system's cyber space. They saw Melody Woman attack Mr. Prog. "So how do we get her attention?" Magnet Woman asked.
"I got an idea how to get her attention." Music Woman said. "Bass Drop!" Then two speakers appeared and released a powerful sonic blast that slammed into Melody Woman forcing her to cover her ears which gave time for Mr. Prog to escape.
Melody Woman turned around to see Magnet Woman and Music Woman. "It's you. If you think that you two are going to stop me, then you have another thing coming. Don't think I didn't notice the way you looked at Squire man. Hypnosis Song!" She let out a sweet melody that went into the Netnavi's ears. "Now both of you are my puppets."
"I don't think so." Music Woman said. "Nightingale, a battle chip would be nice."
"You got it, Music Woman. Mini Bmb! Battle Chip! Download!" Nightingale called out.
A mini bomb appeared in Music Woman's hand. She threw the bomb at Melody Woman and hit the target. When the smoke cleared however, instead of Melody Woman, it was Magnet Woman who fell to the ground. "Magnet Woman!" Music Woman exclaimed as she ran to her ally to see if she was ok.
"What hit me?" Magnet Woman asked as she got back up.
"That was my Hypnosis Song which turns Netnavis into my slaves. I'm surprised it didn't work on you, Music Woman. It seems that music themed Netnavis are immune to it. Oh, well. Then her hand morphed into a sword. "Thank you, Lyra." She grinned. Melody Woman then ran toward them, swinging her sword at them but they dodged it.
"All right, no more playing around." Pyrrha said sternly. "Vulcan! Battle Chip! Download!"
Magnet Woman's hand changed into the Vulcan and fired several rounds. Melody Woman dodged most of the bullets but her sword was damaged. Music Woman released another Bass Drop and the sound blasted her backwards. Melody Woman countered by using her Musical Shockwave. The two sound attacks collided with each other and canceled each other out.
"Lyra, I hate to say it but we probably need to head out soon. The Schnee could have called for security and are probably on their way." Melody Woman reasoned.
"You're right, Melody Woman." Lyra sighed.
"Melody Woman logging out." Then Lyra pulled her PET's wire from the sound system port. "Lyra, was... did our friendship even matter to you or was everything nothing but a damn lie?" Jaune asked, tears running down his face.
"Of course our friendship was real. My feelings for you are very real also and I'm making a promise to you: I will have you at my side again." She blew Jaune a kiss and then, she pulled something out of her pocket and threw it on down onto the floor. A bright flash blinded them. Once the light disappeared, Lyra was gone.
Jaune slumped down to the floor, tears still running down his face. RWBY and NPR were worried about Jaune and the betrayal of his childhood friend. Pyrrha walked over to him and hugged him. "Jaune, I'm sorry that your ex girlfriend turned out be a member of WorldIII. I assure you that one day you find the right girl." Pyrrha said.
"Thanks, Pyrrha." Jaune got up and walked with his friends to take their seats for the concert. "Maybe I've already found the right one." He thought with a small tearful smile as he looked at Pyrrha.
Hello, everyone. Mobian and I hope you all likes this new chapter of Rwby: NT Warrior. We have our first appearances of Jacques Schnee who tells Weiss to get Ruby to sign a contract for her to work with the SBCC just because of her talent and doesn't even ask how his own daughter is doing and finally causing Weiss to partly break down. Father of the year, everybody. We also have everyone's favorite butler besides Alfred: Klein Sieben who has a tiny flashback.
Not only that, we see Cardin Winchester and his Netnavi: Gladiator who lost to Jaune Arc and Squire Man.
We also learn from Blake that Menagerie is building their own Amity Colosseum and with that, hope to be recognized as the fifth kingdom. Hopefully, that will happen.
We have two new OCs. The first is Mobian's creation: Nightingale who is Weiss's replacement at the concert and her Netnavi: Music Woman. the second OC is of my creation: Lyra Tune and Melody Woman. Lyra is Jaune's childhood friend and they even dated for a while. Lyra kissed Jaune, but our blonde knight pulled away. It turns out that she's a member of WorldIII and escaped before any real damage could be done.
In the end, a piece of Jaune's heart is crushed. Pyrrha assures him that he will meet the right girl for him. Maybe he's already found her.
As always, if anyone has any ideas, please let us know in the comments/reviews, or personally PM us.
