Withered Arc 2

Search, Destroy, Repair

Episode: Search and Destroy & Mountain Glenn

Location: Beacon Docks & Mt. Glenn

"Professor Ooblek? What are you doing here?" asked Weiss as Team RWBY was stunned seeing their history teacher. It wasn't because they doubted that a teacher was experienced in this line of work, they were just surprised after the last major mission that was given to them from Professor Port.

"Ms. Goodwitch recommended me to assist you girls after your last mission. Additionally, it was originally supposed to be you four, Team MGNL and Team ZTEC but Mr. Skeleton asked if Team CRDL could join for more field work.' Oobleck paused, taking a long slurp of dust infused coffee (Weiss guessed) before giving the Schnee a pointed look 'And it is Doctor, Ms. Schnee. I didn't work six years for a doctorate just to be called 'professor'" with that, the speedy doctor walked off, leaving the other three teams a bit confused.

"Also, before I forget, your bags won't be needed for this adventure. Now hurry up, we are four minutes behind schedule" was added before the doctor entered the bullhead. Kabbu turns to Cardin with a confused look as Cardin shrugs, unsure as well. Weiss's attention turned to Ruby as the young leader exclaimed that they were going to save the world with Doctor Oobleck, before admitting that was weird.

"You're going to save the world again?! Ugh, lucky!' The teams turn to see Team JNPR and four out of five members of Team FNAF. "All we have to do is a boring mission in a village." spoke Nora, fake puffing her cheeks out as Ren sighed. "At least Freddy agreed to help" muttered the Arc as he and Pyrrha approached, followed by Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Goldie. The only member missing was Foxy, which confused Weiss greatly. "We're just following a sheriff at a remote village." continued Nora, pouting a bit but everyone present could tell she wasn't upset.

Ren chuckled at his crush/friend's antics before turning to the teams "You say that Nora, but you were really excited that Jaune picked it." teased the Monk, making Nora blush in slight embarrassment. Jaune nodded before explaining that letting someone teach them what to do would help them out.

"It will be difficult but I think it would be a good learning experience" finished Jaune before he looked at Freddy. "What are you gonna be doing, anyway?" Freddy chuckled before explaining that the team was gonna train the Toys so they can get a headstart next year before grinning "Although, Foxy is going on a date!" a pebble hit Freddy as everyone turned and saw the mentioned fox in a well dressed suit. His hook was gone, replaced with a metal hand and his unkempt hair combed and in a ponytail.

"Up ye with a cactus, Cap'n. It be not a date, just a friendly hang out with Ms, Poledina." glared Foxy, crossing his arms in mild annoyance. Freddy just chuckled before Oobleck poked his head out of the bullhead. "Team RWBY, ZTEC, MGNL and CRDL, please get on the Bullhead so we can get to our destination." sternly spoke Oobleck, before going to retreat into the ship, followed by him pausing and looking back.

"And good luck on your date, Mr. Anchorage" "OUM DAMN IT!"

It took some time for the bullhead to reach the landing zone, in which Yang tried to tease Cardin for bullying but was stopped by Varron looking at her, Ruby getting confused by the word Tussle (She got it confused with Brussle, Truffles, Ruffles and Mussels) and Blake unofficially joining the Literature club with Team DDLC but they made it to the base of Mount Glenn.

It was there that Ruby and Yang's pet dog, Zwei, was discovered and accepted into the group, much to Ruby's amusement. Then, the group followed a Beowulf pack, with Prof. Oobleck asked the group some questions, each different. While Weiss, Blake and Yang wanted to be prepared or have fun, Team CRDL, ZTEC and MGNL had different ones.

Russel wanted to find his long lost sister, Dove wanted to find a purpose, Sky Lark wished to learn everything he could. Vi didn't have an answer, Leif desired to know who he was and Varron didn't say anything. Finally, Natsuki wanted to find her worth, Yuri was looking for a legendary weapon and Sayori wanted to have some fun.

Nobody believed her at all, much to the blue eyed girl's amusement.

As they made camp, Oobleck asked Ruby, Kabu, Monika and Cardin to follow him, where they encountered a pack of Goliaths. There, he revealed why he was a huntsman. To preserve history. When they got back ,they noted that Varron was looking at the ruins and felt sadness dripping off of them. Ruby walked over to them and touched the creature's shoulder.

Varron twitched and turned, with Ruby looking a bit stunned. "Was that…?" spoke the red wearing girl as Varron nodded. Ruby proceeded to hug them before returning to the camp, leaving the masked creature to think.

"Well… this is an interesting watch" muttered Ruby, a bit confused as she lowered her sniper. It took her a bit to realise that she had witnessed a Judoon fighting a giant Goliath for some reason and had quickly made a bet on who won. She was amused that her bet was on the giant Elephant and so decided to go back to camp to wake up the next person.

She paused upon seeing Varron walking by, following Zwei for some reason. Curious, She followed the two and caught up to Varron. The duo and Zwei moved before pausing and hiding, hearing voices as two White Fang soldiers walked by. "I'm telling you man, I heard something from over here." "And I'm telling you, that the only thing you could have heard was the Grimm fighting over at Sector 7!" Ruby quickly realized that they were meaning the earlier grimm fight. The two faunus walked by and the two saw the lizard scales on one and snake tail on another, though Ruby had to stop Varron from killing them as they weren't that dangerous.

"We better go and report back to Prof. Oobleck. Varron, you go check and I'll se-WOAH!" as Ruby spoke, the ground under her broke from her standing, creating a massive hole as she stumbled back. Both her eyes and Varron's widened in shock as Ruby fell backwards. The Hollow Knight tried to grab Ruby but only got Crescent Rose that the Silver-eyed Warrior pulled out. Varron began to pull Ruby up before a White Fang grunt walked by and yelled "HEY!"

This caused Varron to let go in surprise and Ruby to fall. The Faunus, which was a Tiger faunus given the ears, paled seeing the deadly glow emitting from the masked creature as it turned…

Meanwhile, Ruby fell a long distance, before slamming into a rock hard. She gasped in pain as she stumbled to her feet, followed by her grabbing Crescent Rose and putting it away. She began to stumble forwards as she looked around the darkness. "Where…do I go?" she muttered before gasping.

Unknown to her, her eyes were glowing. But to her, a path of light opened up. Slowly, with a bit of difficulty, she stumbled her way, although she hid whenever she heard a voice. She learned that the White Fang was planning something deep in the mines and even heard of a monstrous bear taking out grunts. Soon, she heard the noise of fighting and looked before gasping.

There, standing around a field of unconscious White Fang grunts was a tall, possibly 10'12", male wearing a torn brown tuxedo, even then, it didn't stop him ducking and uppercutting a Spider faunus off the ground. He sighed a breath of relief before his bear ears twitched and he turned. Ruby saw dirty brown hair and beard as only one eye had an ethereal glow before they switched to dull blue.

"Why hello there." He spoke with a slight distorted tone. He looked at the stunned Rose before he opened his mouth. "My name is Wulfred Fazbear…but call me Withered Freddy."

Man, it took awhile but here is the 2nd Withered Arc part. Sorry it took so long to write this as I had a sudden bout of Writer's block. Probably because I realized that i had to give every team that isn't RWBY, JNPR, CFVY or SSSN a backstory, weapon names and semblances.

Anyway, this is a birthday present from Me to You. Yes, today is my birthday. It's been good.

See ya on the flipside.
