TM11: So, Jack and Yang a thing now? Because that's the pairing I'm rooting for. Liked the information about airships it was...informative and interesting. And did Jack really kamikaze an airship AND survived!? Damn, what hasn't he done yet!?

*RWBBY CHIBI*

It was the middle of nowhere in the Kingdom of Vacuo, well outside the realm of any city within the Frontier. The Borderlands as they were sometimes called, were home to all sorts. Those brave enough to put down roots. Those in search of ancient treasures waiting to be discovered. Or most-despised-of-all… those that would seek fortune at the expense of others.

One such place, a Circle of Man slave-gathering depot, was under attack at that very moment. The perpetrators, the White Fang only a single year after the "Blood Raid" that opened the eyes of Ghira Belladonna to the truth. The truth that no amount of picket signs or boycotts would ever change things as long as those in power had a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.

The White Fang had attacked in the night, just-before the sun had risen in the distance. Though the light would have been an aid to the members of the Circle, that they had to adjust from darkness actually slowed their recovery down even more, allowing hundreds of slaves to be freed, with White Fang Captains and Lieutenants scattering along with them to the four winds.

The only member of the White Fang left, single-handedly assaulting a concrete spire in the middle of the facility hewn from pre-fab slabs, was the legendary Jack the Ripper, ex-Slave Gladiator turned freedom fighter and slave-ring buster.

The staff of the building beaten beyond moving or forced into unconsciousness, Jack had proceeded to steal the only remaining aircraft in the complex, all others irrevocably destroyed at the start of the night raid by IEDs to the control stations of each Third-Gen airship.

The sole intact Pelican rising into the air, engine pods roaring, the D77-TC soared into the air. Flying almost straight-up like a rocket. The vehicle stalling moments later, a flurry of thrusts from the engine pods caused the vessel to pitch and roll until the nose was pointing straight-down at the only building not on fire.

Warning klaxons blaring- [Collision Imminent. Collision Imminent. Collision Imminent.] -in his ears, Jack the Ripper steeled himself as the concrete structure's roof raced upward to meet him.

*Flashback End*

"And that's what happened," the storyteller concluded.

"I see… And what happened after that?" Chibi Adam replied, he and Chibi Jack (the Ripper) sitting across from one another in a White Fang command tent mere hours after the night raid's conclusion. Outside the tent flaps, Chibi White Fang and Chibi ex-slaves celebrated both a job well done and the yoke of oppression being cast off. Chibi White Fang danced a conga line, chugged beer, or fired off gunshots into the air excitedly. Chibi ex-slaves cast off the rags they were forced to wear as merchandise and danced around roaring bonfires, eating well for the first time in weeks.

Suffice it to say, it was good times all around.

Except for all the slavers that'd been killed; but screw those guys!

"I opened the cargo ramp, shot out the windows, and rode the wind right out of that bird. Glad I packed that parachute, huh, Adam?"

"So you technically… failed, in your kamikaze run."

"I never said I was a good kamikaze pilot."

"Some would say that abandoning a kamikaze run isn't very honorable."

"What do you value most? Honor that gets you killed, or failure that lets you live?"

" . . . Fair point," Chibi Adam shrugged. "So, why aren't you celebrating with the others?"

"Oh, he will be~" Chibi Saya purred as she threw Chibi Jack (the Ripper) over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "Come on, I got someone I want you to meet~"

"Make sure you use protection," Chibi Adam said, playing the straight man as Chibi Jack (the Ripper) was carried away, his tiny limbs flailing as he sought to escape the woman's hold.

*Cue Scene Transition*

*Chibi Adam drops down amidst a white backdrop. A half-dozen Chibi AK-130s closing in on him from off-screen, Chibi-Adam puts his hand on his sword, the marks on his mask glowing ominously before he slashes horizontally, a thin red line spanning the screen before the frame split away from the middle.*

*RWBBY CHIBI*

"Sooooo…" Chibi Nora hummed, kicking her legs under the table as their chibi teammates ate their lunch around them. "You and Yang are together together, huh?" she asked with a cheeky smile on her face. On the TV behind them, a news feed of a line of arrested sky pirates being dragged into a paddywagon was being shown, one of them shaking their fist out the rear window and glowering at them, a black censor bar appearing over his mouth every few seconds.

"Not… exactly…" Chibi Jack (minus the Ripper) returned as he watched the feed, wondering if they were going to be a problem later on.

"It's more like the gap between us closed a little," Chibi Yang answered bringing her fingers together, but not all the way. "Still…" she said with a smile. "I think we're taking a step in the right direction," she said reaching over to put an arm on his shoulder, only for their heads to bonk together. "Dang format change," she pouted as her arm flailed awkwardly at the side, their cheeks pressed together before she settled for grabbing onto his hand. "We both have our issues still, but all in all I think a little life-threatening peril was good for our relationship."

" . . . I ship it," Chibi Nora nodded, while off to the side Chibi Weiss was fuming.

A moment later, Chibi Blake put a kettle of tea atop her head, steam squealing out the spout a moment later.

"Who wants tea?" she offered helpfully.

TM11's Review was very thoughtfully written since they were a long-time Reviewer, and it easily inspired the scene between Jack (the Ripper) and Adam.

That being said, the above statements are Canonical for the Giant-Slayer Fanon. Jack really did do what he did at some point in the past as a White Fang Lieutenant; if you pull an ejector seat out of your ass in the middle of a Kamikaze run you are still a Kamikaze pilot, you just really suck at it (contextually). As for Jack/Yang, they aren't "together together" like Bumblebee became in the Canon after one little life-or-death battle together, just some impassioned words and a kiss, but they are moving in that direction.

The format-change between Default and Chibi was a way of staying true to the original occurrence, while the transition into the latter format was so the story of the first RWBBY Chibi off-shot wouldn't "interfere" with the main story. At others… it might just be random talk & nonsense (read: malarkey), but at those points I'll clarify whether it's Fanon or not.

Depending on whether this is well-received or not will decide whether or not I do more of these in the future, whether it be in response to Reviews, or like "cutaways" to scenes that relate to the main story but would screw with the pacing.

So… Tell me what you think, and enjoy the double-release.
