Mobian and I hope this list continues to expand in the future.
Now, after months of waiting, jack in!
The Dark Web, home to rogue Netnavis, an assortment of evil organizations, and none more feared than WorldIII. Their website could only be accessed by members or by invitation. Any unwelcome guests would be dealt with before they can send a message for help. Like their website, WorldIII is a mystery. It's made up of the infamous and the unknown. The person controlling this group could be considered the worst among them.
Default Man was walking down a rocky wasteland road of WorldIII's website. The Netnavi felt quite nervous as he looked around the area. The website had a vibe of a final boss level. The sky was blood red with a shattered moon in it. The ground had giant purple crystals sticking out of it. All that was missing was someone jumping out to scare him. Suddenly, a hand grabbed his shoulder. He turned to see Jurassic Man and Funhouse Woman behind.
"Easy there, kid. I didn't mean to scare you. Even I don't find this place a laughing matter." Funhouse Woman shivered.
"We just wanted to make sure you make it to Evernight Castle safely. We have overzealous members who attack any new Netnavi on sight." Jurassic Man said. His sister just glared at him. "You're right. He doesn't need a reason to attack." After that, the three Netnavis walked in silence until they reached a stone castle with black pool around it.
"What is this stuff?" Default Man reached for the black tar when Jurassic Man grabbed his hand. "Let go of my hand!" He struggled to get out of the Dino themed Netnavi grip.
"Kid, there are some things better left alone." Jurassic Man said in a tone that left nothing for discussion. Then the T-Rex Netnavi released his hold on Default Man.
"Ok, let's get into the castle." Funhouse woman scooted Default Man into the door. Jurassic Man was the last to enter, and before the door shut, he could see Grimm viruses coming out of the black pools.
The three Netnavi waited in a room with a long table and chairs around it. At the head of the table was a throne where the leader would sit. Jurassic Man and Funhouse Woman were leaning against the farthest wall where they could keep an eye on the door. Default Man wasn't sure if he should take a chair or join the two leaning against the wall. Suddenly the doors opened, and Pyro Man entered the room.
"Well, if it isn't my two favorite mercenaries." Pyro Man smirked while both siblings rolled their eyes at him.
"The answer is no. You and Roman still couldn't pay us enough to join your crew." Funhouse Woman stuck out her tongue at the pumpkin themed Netnavi.
"Please, you overgrown squash, they would be better off serving my Mistress." Kitsune made her presence known.
Default Man watched Pyro Man and Kitsune argue between themselves. "This is one of their lighter arguments. At least, Kitsune didn't bring her little lost puppy with her." A female voice said next to him. This caused him to jump a bit and look in the direction where the voice came from. Standing next to him was a human female Netnavi. Her attire consisted of a black pea coat, a pink maxi skirt, pink gloves, and black boots. In her hands was a pink and black Parasol. "The name is Shatter Woman. What's your name?" Shatter Woman held out a hand.
Default Man hesitated before answering. "It's Default Man." He grabbed her hand and shook it.
After, Kitsune and Pyro finished arguing more, and more Netnavi arrived. Among the arriving Netnavis were Orchard Woman, Wind-Up Man, Melody Woman, Magma Man and a few others. Each of them took a seat at the table. Default Man joined his fellow mercenaries against the wall. Shatter Woman stood near Pyro Man.
Suddenly the doors opened, and two more Netnavis entered the room. The first was a humanoid purple Scorpion Netnavi. He had pincers for hands and a scorpion tail that acted as a ponytail on the back of his head. The second was an elderly gentleman with a gray Mustache. He wore a yellow waistcoat, and a Tesla Coil stuck out of his back and dress pants.
"Introduce her grace, Salem!" The scorpion Netnavi declared as he bowed towards the door.
A female Netnavi entered the room and every Netnavi stood at attention. She had white hair in a half bun style. Black veins covered her face as well as her arms and her eyes were red. She wore a black long robe with short sleeves. "Thank you, Venom Man."
"Your grace, will you let me have the honor of escorting you to your throne?" The gentleman Netnavi asked Salem.
"Static Man, always the gentleman." Salem offered her arm to him. Static Man took her arm gently and walked Salem to her throne. Once Salem took her seat, the rest of them sat back down.
"Now would any of you like to explain why my agents lost to teenagers! The only two that haven't failed are Wind-Up Man and his Net Op Boomer. Even my top mercenaries failed."
Jurassic Man knelt. "Lady Salem, we have no excuse for our failure at the amusement park. We returned the full amount you paid us."
Funhouse Woman knelt next to her brother. "We offer to work the next two missions free of cost. No matter the size of the mission."
Default Man had also joined by kneeling next to them. "And why are you Kneeling?" Salem asked.
"I would be a fool not to show my respect to the leader of WorldIII. We will work harder to regain your trust in us." Default Man explained.
Salem stared at the mercenaries for a few minutes before speaking. "Quiet generous of you to work without pay. Very well, I accept your apology, and I will send you an email when I have your next assignment ready for you."
"Thank you., Your Grace." Jurassic Man, Funhouse Woman and Default Man said at the same time. Then they returned to their spot against the wall.
"Let us get down to business. Shatter Woman:Step forward." Salem said as the Netnavi that Default Man talked to stood in front of Salem.
Shatter Woman bowed. "What can I do for you, My mistress?" Shatter Woman asked politely.
"I want you to break into Cyber Elf Labs and plant a virus in their system. As Pyro Man's apprentice, this will be no issue for you." Salem said.
"It will be done, Ma'am." Shatter Woman said.
"Very well, you may be excused, but before you leave. I want to give you all a warning. If you are caught by the Police, that will be the least of your concerns because when I'm done with you. You will wish that the police still had you." An image of both Mister Yellow and Wrecker Man appeared. Mr. Yellow had bags under his eyes and his clothing was damaged while Wrecker Man was surrounded by Beowolves. A Beowolf slashed Wrecker Man. Suddenly a bolt of electricity hit the worn down Mr. Yellow. "Let this be a warning to all of you: I. Don't. Tolerate. Failure."
Inside one of Roman's safe houses, the infamous thief wasn't in a good mood. "Cyber Elf Labs. Of all the places that Salem wants Neo to break into. She had to pick the one place that rivals SBCC in security. You know, before the WorldIII business things were much simpler. A few jewelry stores robberies, stealing a few pieces of art from museums, and selling illegally obtained Battle Chips. It's not like I'm involved with dealing drugs, human and Faunus trafficking. How did I get myself and Neo into this mess?" Roman lit a cigarette.
"Well boss, we didn't have much of a choice in the matter. They interfered with our operations. And you know what Kitsune threatened to do." Pyro Man said, leaving the unspoken threat lingering in the air.
"Dad, calm down. Shatter and I already have a plan on how to get into Cyber Elf labs." Neo used a voice program on her PET to speak. Neo held a pamphlet for Cyber Elf labs.
Roman looked at the part that Neo had circled. "Cyber Elf Labs gave a guided tour at four pm. "Neo, that's brilliant." Roman praised her until a thought came to him. "There's no way that security won't notice a fifteen year old girl missing from the tour group. We'll have to come up with a different plan."
"This is the best action we can take. Neo excuses herself to use the bathroom, and finds a quiet place to jack in. Then I plant the virus and get out before anyone notice." Shatter Woman said.
"No, Shatter, there are too many ways that could go wrong. We will have to come up with a better plan." Pyro Man said.
"Please, you trained us for this. This is the best option we have." Shatter Woman and Neo gave a puppy dog pout.
Roman and Pyro gave in to them. "Fine, but any hint of trouble and you get out of there. How does she get me to go along with some of these plans?" Roman asked.
"Let's face facts. We both know who runs your empire. Neo tells us to jump and we ask how much ice cream she wants." Pyro Man shook his head.
Neo's eyes grew big at the mention of her favorite treat. "Neo, no ice cream until the job is done." Roman said firmly which Neo pouted.
Inside the lobby of Cyber Elf Labs, Neo waited for the tour to begin. The tour guide walked up to her. "Excuse me, but are you, Trivia?" The tour guide asked the young girl.
Neo's nose wrinkled up hearing that name. "Yes, she is Trivia." Shatter Woman answered, who has taken the appearance of a mass produced Netnavi. "I know it's unusual for me to answer the question, but my Net Op was born mute. I usually interpret for Trivia or she uses a voice program on the PET to speak. I hope this won't be a problem that Trivia needs to keep her PET." Shatter asked while pretending to be worried.
"Not at all. We normally let our visitors keep their PETs, but run a quick scan to make sure there's no hidden programs. You would not imagine how many times some competitors tried to sneak in spyware through their PETs. The tour guide said. May I please have your PET?" The woman held out her hand and without hesitation Neo handed over her PET. The tour guide walked over to a machine and placed the PET into it. It began to scan the PET. After a few minutes, a green light came on. "Your PET is clean, so you can have it back." The woman handed it back to Neo.
Eventually more and more people arrived four the tour. The last two were a pair of twins. "Miltia. Melanie. What are you doing here?" The woman asked.
"Dad forgot his briefcase and his dinner again." The Malachite sisters answered while holding up a briefcase and a metal lunchbox.
The tour guide shook her head and waved them on. The two girls took that as their cue to head back. "Sorry about the delay was Miltia and Melanie, the daughters of Thomas Ross. One of our leading scientists in Netnavi creation. Now let's get this tour going." A half hour into the tour Neo excused herself to use the bathroom.
Neo headed toward a security room when saw two guards standing in front of it. the young girl quickly entered the restroom. "So did you catch that Net battle last night?" One of the guards asked the other guard as they walked past the bathroom. When Neo was sure they were gone, she went into the room. The young thief put on a pair of gloves. That way, she wouldn't leave any fingerprints behind.
"Alright Neo, we have twenty minutes before the guards come back." Shatter Woman said.
"Jack in! Shatter Woman!" Neo said in her mind.
Shatter Woman arrived at Cyber Elf Labs' website. "First order of business is to delete any evidence of Neo entering the security room." That wasn't much of a problem since she was in one of the main security hubs. Now let's use those chips that contain the virus on them.
Shatter Woman's hands glowed purple. She just needed to infect something with the spyware. At that moment, a Mr. Prog came by. She grabbed the program and began to infect the program. "Hey! What are you doing to Mr. Prog?" A security Netnavi asked as he pointed his blaster at the intruder.
Shatter Woman let go of Mr. Prog and her Parasol appeared in her hands. The parasol with one quick motion cut the blaster arm off the security Netnavi. The security Netnavi screamed in pain. "We have an intruder in security hub alpha one…!" That's all he got out as the parasol was sticking out of torso. Security Netnavi deleted. Said a voice as the Netnavi became data.
Both Positive Woman and Negative Woman appeared in security hub alpha. They saw several security Netnavi missing limbs. "What happened here?" Positive Woman asked.
"We were attacked." A security Netnavi answered.
"By a Grimm virus? Negative Woman looked at the severity of damaged Netnavis.
"This wasn't done by a Grimm virus. A Netnavi did this." Another security Netnavi said. "She did this to my whole team."
The twin Netnavi went ahead to find the intruder when they spotted the infiltrator taking down another security Netnavi. "Hey you! Stop this instance!" Negative Woman shouted. The unknown Netnavi turned towards them and stuck out her tongue. "Why you, brat! Negative Kick!" She sent an electrifying kick to the Netnavi's face, but the image shattered into pieces. "What?"
Negative Woman searched for the missing enemy. "Sis, behind you!" Positive Woman shouted.
Negative Woman looked behind her and found her opponent standing there. "What?!" She quickly moved next to her sister. "How did you get behind me?"
"It's really simple. My special move is Shatter Screen. It creates an illusion of myself and it shatters when the enemy hits it." Shatter Woman explained.
"Melanie, how are we going deal with this Netnavi ability?" Miltia asked in worry.
"Same way we handle everything: By working together. Even with this ability, it's still two against one." Melanie reassured her sister.
"You're right. Let's do it!" Miltia said as she pulled out a battle chip. "Red Earth! Battle Chip!" Download!
"Blackness! Battle Chip! Download!" Melanie shouted.
Claw blades appeared on Negative Woman's wrist. She charged the intruder at high speed. She performed a vertical slash. When the claw blade touched the intruder, she shattered into pieces. Negative Woman tried to find her. When Positive Woman leaped over her. Positive Woman went into a spin kick, but as the kick connected to the target, the opponent broke apart.
Both sisters stood back to back. That way, they won't be caught off guard by their adversary. Suddenly a Mini Bomb rolled toward them. They saw it too late as it exploded on them. Shatter Woman watched as smoke covered the area where the two Netnavis stood. Before Shatter Woman could blink, A new Netnavi stood in front of her. "Current Punch!" The new Netnavi hit Shatter Woman in the stomach which sent electricity through her body.
"Triplets. I didn't see that coming." Shatter Woman said as the kick hit her head and the image shattered into pieces.
Shatter Woman stood a good distance away from the new Netnavi. "Tell me, little thief, are you faster than the speed of light?" A voice said behind her. Shatter turned to see the Netnavi was behind her. "Current Kick!" Current Woman kicked Shatter Woman. The kick sent electricity through her body.
Shatter Woman got up and wiped herself off. "Well, this has been fun but I've to go. I do have a gift for you." A bomb with a timer appeared. It started counting down. "Shatter Woman logging out."
"Neo, it's time for us to leave." Shatter Woman said.
Neo pulled out a device from her pocket and hit the button. At that moment, a smoke bomb went off. The guard opened the door and smoke covered them. Neo used this distraction to escaped the room. The young woman ran until she hit someone. She looked up to Summer Rose standing in front of her. :You must be Trivia who got separated from the tour." The veteran huntress signed. Neo nodded. "Sorry, but the tour got cut short because of the attack." Summer escorted the young woman out of the building.
"Thank you, for escorting me out, Mrs. Rose." Neo signed. My dad is probably worried about me." She ran off.
Summer watched Trivia left. "Rose Woman, do you think Trivia and Ruby would be good friends?" She asked.
"Don't know, Summer. There's always a chance." Rose Woman answered.
Hello, everyone. I hope you all liked the latest chapter of Rwby: NT Warrior. Salem, the Netnavi has officially made her debut along with Static Man and Venom Man. Also, Neo and Shatter Woman have debuted as well infiltrating Cyber Elf Labs when they were interrupted with Negative Woman and Positive Woman. However, they can't beat Shatter Woman's Shatter Screen move. Only a brand new Netnavi called Current Woman made herself known. In the end, Summer escorts her out none the wiser. Also, Roman and Pyro Man are shown to legitimately care about Neo and Shatter Woman's safety.
As usual, if anyone has any ideas for this story, please let Mobian and/or I know in the comments/reviews, or personally PM us. See you all next time in the Cyber World.
