Chapter 30 The truth about Stella and Nana, descending into the depths, to the arena once more
(Transformers Fall of Cybertron – Cities in Dust)opening theme.
(Instrument)
In a deep dark hole sparks of Flames can be seen.
(Water was running, Children were running, you are running out of time, under the mountain, the golden fountain were you praying at the lowest shrine.)
(Oh, oh your city. lies in Dust.)
(Oh, oh your city lies in Dust my friend.)
(Instrument)
Then fighting is seen between the factions as they all fight to the death.
(We find you hiding, we found you lying, choking on sand you formed the glory, you know the stories, washed with eager hands.)
(Oh, oh your city. lies in Dust.)
(Oh, oh your city lies in Dust my friend)
(Instrument)
(Instrument)
The fighting soon started getting more destructive, more dangerous as many more people die one by one.
(Water was running children were running, we found you hiding, we've found you lying, Water was running children, we found you hiding we've found you lying.)
(Your city lies in Dust my friend!)
(Oh, oh your city lies. in. Dust!)
(Instrument)
Then two unknown machines appears in an unknown forgotten city as mysterious Flames covers it completely.
(Hot and burning in your nostrils war is gaping now molded monding tenses coming oooh.)
(Oh, oh your city lies in Dust! My friend.)
Oh, oh your city lies. in. Dust!)
(Oh, oh your city lies in Dust! My friend!)
(Oh, oh your city lies in Dust! My friend!)
(Oh, oh your city lies Dust! my friend!)
(Oh, oh your city lies. In. Dust!)
(Instrument)
Fighting soon became deadlier, many die and soon others tries to escape as chaos is unleashed.
Then the title is showed.
(End of music)
After the joint mission between the Factions alliance and the destruction of the Ice worm, PCA and Crimson squadron. The factions soon went back to being enemies of each other and racing to get to get the Coral first, as this happens the Redguns soon gets ready to enter the Watchpoint which leads to where the Coral is located.
Michigan: alright maggots! It's almost time for us to head out to where the Ice worm was guarding.
Jaune: um sir there's something you should know…
Michigan: hmmm. What is it?
Nora: uh the I.S group and the huntsmen has already started entering the Watchpoint already.
Michigan: what? Then we have to hurry and catch up!
Ren: umm…
Michigan: there's more is there… well what is it?
Iguazu: there dead. The people they sent to the Watchpoint were all wiped out by a weapon left behind by the PCA!
Michigan: oh…
Jaune: not only that but Arqubus has gained a lot more ground lately which is sort of strange.
Michigan: yeah it is strange and they never had this much support before… but still we need to enter the Watchpoint.
Jaune: sir how about we let Arqubus go first knowing them they are possibly going to send a mercenary to do the job.
Michigan: you do have point there. Okay then we'll do the waiting game so we can be ready once the way is clear.
Iguazu: thank God. A plan where we all don't rush in to die.
Michigan: if you all think your going on vacation you all have another thing coming and it's training.
Iguazu: …crap.
Nora: well… it's better then being sent to a weapon that will kill us all.
The scene changes to Rhodes Island where one of the rescued apostles has finally woke up.
Shizu: where I'm I?
?: your in our base Rhodes Island.
Then Kal'tsit is seen in the room along side others.
Doctor: so how do you feel?
Shizu: I don't really know… where's my brother?
Kal'tsit: … I'm sorry to say this but you're the only one we found still alive…
Shizu: I knew her majesty would make sure none of us wouldn't survive…
Doctor: um excuse me Ms Shizu. But one of the survivors of the world named Rothcall wants to know why your leader wiped out the humans on his world.
Shizu: … okay I'll tell him but the girls must know of this too. As this is much there problems as it is humanity's.
The doctor nods to that calls the three to the room to have a talk with one of the apostles. After a few minutes they arrived it was time for them to know the truth.
Shizu: I see you all are here.
Rothcall: …
Nana: …
Stella: …
Shizu: okay I'll explain everything now. We and our leader who you all called Sing Love were looking for a place to call home that was when we found your world and landed there.
Rothcall: …
Shizu: one day our leader met a man whose a scientist his name… is Weiler Gibson.
Rothcall: !? Gibson? As in professor Gibson…
Stella: that would be papa...
Nana: our dad or in this case our creator…
Shizu: also Sing Love… is the person you two were cloned from. You could say she's your mother. However I don't think she would want to be called mother really… and Nana I know you figured out who she was after all… she was the one who wiped out your unit and killed your siblings.
Nana: don't you dare bring that up!
Everyone in the room looked towards Nana noticing how angry she was.
Nana: who cares if Song Love is our mom or if we were cloned from her! Those humans blamed us, me for failing them none of them… not a single one of them understand what it was like to lose your love ones and watch them get killed
Stella: Nana…
Nana: and do you want to know something else Stella… I hate you and Rothcall. But mostly you, papa always cared about you, he never bothered to worry about us or what terrible fate awaited me or our siblings. So all the humans has died back on our world so what! All of them got what they deserved!...
Everyone didn't say anything upon hearing that… until Kal'tsit soon talked.
Kal'tsit: do you really think the problems will go away once every human is dead. If so then you are a fool.
Nana: what…
Kal'tsit: I come from a planet known as Terra, we had a lot of problems and that was before humanity came along. Even if the humans were all killed and gone extinct other species will do the same thing they did or worse. It look like to me that this Sing Love person was killing people indiscriminately not caring about those who were not involved with Gibson or her.
Rothcall: … listen Nana you were not the only one who lost loved ones… I lost my niece in the war against them. I kept asking myself over and over why, why did she had to die she nor anyone I knew deserved to die…
Nana: …
Rothcall: even if get my revenge and killed Sing Love no one I love are not coming back all I can do is keep living on there memory. Me being alive is proof they lived and the same applies to you and your sister as well Nana. You both are proof they lived.
Nana: …
Rothcall: still it's surprising that your mother or in this case the original is actually an alien and professor Gibson was dating one.
Shizu: what were you expecting we look like humans by appearance but we are physically stronger.
Doctor: you do know the way you act is actually close to a human.
Shizu: that's because we have nebladed some humans while we were at war with them on that planet.
Kal'tsit: if I have to make a guess this neblade ability possibly not just give you the abilities and memories of the ones you eat. But it appears when you eaten a human your emotions slowly starts to surface making you more and more human along with having feelings you or kind never thought you all had.
Shizu: what?
Rothcall: wait you saying there going to become more human by the day.
Kal'tsit: that's right and we have been comparing there biology to that of a human if this keeps up they won't have to fear of getting hungry ever again.
Shizu: is that even possible?
Kal'tsit: it's already happening after we took a blood simple and ran tests so yes it's possible.
Shizu: it's a miracle… dear god it's a miracle…
Doctor: that is if you and all of us survive this war.
Kal'tsit: not only that but I've heard two of the factions forces were wiped out when they entered the Watchpoint. We are going to have to be extra careful from now on.
Everyone silently agree that things are going to get much worse from here on out, unknown to them Luke and Strayed heard everything but they understood the situation the group was in plus they also want to help Nana move on from her grudge and pain she's feeling.
Rothcall: oh wait you never explained why Sing Love decided to kill everyone.
Shizu: your right I almost forgot about that… this is just an assumption but I think professor Gibson must've saw her our generals true nature.
Doctor: you mean the hunger and eat something problem?
Shizu: yes I believe that might be it and there's a possibility that both of them weren't honest with each other. Which would explain why her home looked like it was hit by a bomb.
Everyone went silent when they heard that and came to a sad realization. Professor Gibson was the one who doomed there world.
The scene changes to 621 who was resting after the battle against the Ice worm and Crimson squadron. Until he gets a message from Walter.
Walter: are you doing alright 621? I wanted to let you rest some more but it looks the factions are on the move again. Do you remember the survey you did on Xylem. My friend analyzed the data and discovered an entrance that the Ice worm was guarding. Watchpoint alpha it turns out the Ice worm was protecting that place you know what this means business as usual its time to let us in where the Coral is waiting.
Once the message ended Ayre soon spoke up.
Ayre: Raven. I looked into this friend that Walter spoke of but I found nothing nor we're there a conversation between them. This is something much more going on then finding Coral Raven. He's after something else and he's using you to do it here on Rubicon.
621: …
(Zone Of The Enders The 2nd Runner – Anubis)
He didn't show it but 621 is also worried about what Walter is hiding but doesn't know what it is. 621 then goes to the arena where he gets to fight in the A-rank arena his first opponent is one of the Redguns he fought before G2 Nile and his A.C Deep Down his logs reads he's a Deputy commander of the Redguns, he was a commander of Balam security, a police organization that preceded the formation of the Redguns. He tried to arrest Michigan but failed to catch him but instead had a friendly drink with his nemesis. 621 starts up the virtual reality simulator and started fighting against him it was somewhat easy but the real was much more serious.
621 then moves on to his next opponent it was Snail and his A.C Open Faith his logs reads he's the deputy commander of the Vespers, Arqubus's augmented human squad, and that he's received eight augmentation surgery this means he keeps getting treatment as new technology comes up as a way to better himself. Many augmented humans have died so that his adjustments would be safe. This angers 621 including Ayre after reading his logs in there eyes Snail was without a doubt the worst of the worst and should be put down. 621 then began the match and fights Snail who goes down easily but he knows the real one won't be easy but he'll make sure he dies. His next opponent is someone he's already faced one of the two independent mercenaries from branch.
Chartreuse and her A.C Umber Ox her logs reads she's an independent mercenary who arrived on Rubicon when Coral was rediscovered, she's also one of the hacktivist who are active on Rubicon she's also the one who dealt a critical blow to Closure System in the attack on station 31, she's also the second oldest of member of branch. 621 then began fighting Chartreuse but since he fought her once during the defend the dam mission he knew how to deal with her but she was a strong opponent.
His next opponent is Nana and her A.C The Forgotten her logs reads she is from another planet much similar to earth it also reads she is a bio weapon and clone of the true leader of the Apostles, she, her sister and Rothcall are the only to escape from the apostles's army as the humans on the planet were wiped out. She also holds a grudge against humans after the death of her siblings. 621 felt sorry for the girls after they lost their home, Ayre felt sad for her to and hopes that she will let her grudge go and try to move on. 621 then fights her in the arena it was no joke she was definitely strong since she and her are clones from the original he was able to defeat and move on to his next opponent.
His opponent is Lappland and her A.C Mad Wolf her logs reads she is a member of Rhodes island, everything about her past is unknown but she was once part of a Yakuza family back on Terra and it's confirmed she's obsessed with Texas who is also a member of Rhodes island and an ex Yakuza she also desires to fight her. 621 then begins fighting against Lappland the battle was very extremely hard do to her try to cut him down but she's soon defeated.
The last opponent of the A-rank arena is Thumb Dolmayan and his A.C Astghik his logs reads. He was once a Doser but once the fires of Ibis happened and in the aftermath he created a belief in symbiosis with the Coral this belief was the founding ideals of Liberation Front, making martyrs of countless Coral warriors. 621 and Ayre didn't like this because it looks like Dolmayan has created a cult but they are glad there are people like Flatwell who isn't letting this insanity get out of control and they know the man has made contact with a Coral being just like Ayre herself. 621 then began fighting Dolmayan but the battle was similar to the last battle he had with Dolmayan making this fight easy and with that Dolmayan is defeated along with the completion of A-rank arena.
(End of music)
After completing the arena 621 then goes to see the mission he will be taking on then the briefing began.
Walter: here's the job, 621. You'll be going into that underground facility – Watchpoint Alpha. I managed to talk Arqubus into letting us lead the survey. They jumped at the Chance to use an independent mercenary as their canary. The I.S faction and Huntsmen faction has already barged in, taking several troops, soldiers and elites squads. Seems they want to be ready for Balam and of course Arqubus which has new fir power.
Walter: You'll start by descending through depth 1, a vertical chamber sector. It's likely you'll meet resistance from autonomous defenses left by PCA… The worst of them is lurking at the bottom: NEPENTHES, an energy platform. … Heard on the grapevine that it already turned half of the two Factions of the I.S and huntsmen forces to ash.
Walter: don't want to end like them after all. Tread carefully
Then the briefing ended, 621 soon gets ready to be sent to the mission area.
Ayre: Watchpoint Alpha… my brothers and sisters there deep inside.
(Shadow the hedgehog – lost impact)
The scene changes as 621 arrives at the mission area once he landed the Watchpoint opens up then he drops as he does Walter warns him there's a good chance he might not make it back but he believes that only he can complete the mission.
As he continues to drop down 621 can't help be feel that he is descending into the under world. As he continues to go down he encounters the defense drones that are trying to protect the depths but 621 takes them out and continues on.
As he does he noticed the elevator won't work so he decides to fall down as he the weapon of the PCA starts attacking 621. He dodges the attacks by using the platform for as shields from the attacks 621 then continue falling further down as the PCA weapon continues to him.
But it was all useless as 621 was now closer to it now Walter tells him to attack the neck of the weapon which he does damaging the machine on it once it took too much damage the PCA weapon exploded ending the mission.
Ayre: let's take a break Raven we have a long journey ahead of us.
(End of music)
The scene changes to the I.S faction where Chifuyu and Tabane is having a talk and… it's not good.
Chifuyu: Tabane… this is… insane…
Tabane: oh come on Chifuyu-Chane your worrying too much.
Chifuyu: we've had lost a lot of our forces when we came down here! And there's a chance the other factions will be coming soon!
Tabane: don't worry I have a brilliant plan for how to get out of this mess… and win us the Coral.
Tabane smiled sinisterly then everything fades to black.
End of Chapter 30 The truth about Stella and Nana, descending into the depths, to the arena once more
That's another Chapter done Kal'tsit, doctor along with Rothcall, Stella and Nana learns the truth of why the war on there world happened, 621 complete the rank A arena and then goes to the Watchpoint and destroys the PCA weapon allowing the corporations a way through, Chifuyu is slowly realizing that they are slowly losing their forces and going after the Coral is possibly not worth all these life's. Now on to the reviews.
To Gojira: thank you.
To Guest: yup a lot of people are going to die and those who survived will without a doubt have a lot of ptsd after see so much death.
To ABS120: yeah the Crimson Squadron really have a deep hatred for team RWBY even if the show does end and looking like a happy ending. I have a strange feeling everyone is not going to like it because a lot of people had died and if Summer is alive in the show well… she's going to be very sad in the story because well her daughters and friend is dead. And yes ALLMIND definitely has plans for them.
To Blagoj Pejov1: your right so begins the journey to institute city but along the way tragedy will be fall those who travel there.
Okay that's all I hope you all like this Chapter and everything that has happened. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about the Mega Man series I'll try to get back on that once I got things straightened out on the next Chapter Okay that is all I hope you all have a nice day be safe bye.
Omake
J destroys Remnant.
Remnant has been saved by team RWBY everyone is happy and is happy that a bright future is awaiting them all… but suddenly an unknown hole opens up above them all. Everyone wonders what it is.
Yang: what is that?
Blake: don't know.
Weiss: it might be a portal that leads to ever after.
Ruby: oh it must be Alex and the Blacksmith that's come to visit us!
But then something Huge and Black falls down from the portal and lands hard everyone wonders what it is.
Ruby: do you guys think it's here to bring peace.
?: what a disappointing world full of nothing but fools who don't know what war truly is…
Then somethin large emerged from the dust it was some sort of machine clad in black and sinister looking.
Yang: what the heck is this guy talking about?
Blake: it sounds like this guy is here to cause trouble.
Weiss: well we won't let him .
Ruby: yeah we finally have peace we won't let you take this away from us!
(Armored Core Verdict Day - Mechanized Memory)
?: a world of order built by fools like you is one that those like me could never live in. To live as I please and die a senseless death.
The mysterious Machine of war hovers as it prepare to attack its enemies.
?: War. Is part of my existence. Now show me what you can do!
Then the Black machine charged at them along with an unknown energy source covering it's entire body.
A few minutes later team RWBY was completely defeated no… destroyed. Nothing was left of Yang but her arm, Blake was blasted through her body, Weiss was completely destroyed by a rain of missiles that completely left no trace of her remains, as for Ruby she was suffering from the unknown effects of the energy the machine was using.
?: you survived… but not for much longer.
Ruby: you… monster… you murderer!
?: oh and what is wrong with that? Hahaha!
Then the black machine flew away to cause more chaos as that happens more machines of war pour down from the hole as they prepare to cause untold destruction upon Remnant.
Ruby tries to get up but the damage to her body was already too much as she was soon on her knees until… she finally died by the unknown energy that was killing her from the inside.
Remnant now experiencing the greatest disaster in history…
The great destruction.
