Starpottergeek: Here's the next Clone Wars.
Hotshot6: Okay, I can see your point there.
TigerVolcanno5000: You bring up a very well made reason. I will try and make sure he doesn't become a villain. Not quite sure on DB Hulk and Broly.
Loodens: Indeed it did. I'll think it over.
Gamelover41592: Thanks.
Spartan-626: Glad you liked it. Good suggestions. RvB Season 18 was okay in the end. Not as good as other seasons.
Addindanishah93: I can do it one day, but not today.
Katana of the Blade: Thanks. I may do God of War one day. I can try and do more Spider-Man but it will take a long time to finish.
Jacob9594: Thanks.
Justus80: Yeah, but at least they ended on a high note. Don't know if I'll do Arkham anytime soon.
Hecesferblade: If only.
Jamueoeyes: Yeah, Vol 8 has some pretty good moments. Ace Ops and the Happy Huntress will appear in the next story.
Dungeon Wyrm: Could do and I am excited for the Bad Batch. Don't know if I'll ever do a reaction to it.
Dragon Bone Z: Understandable. I don't know, but he's dead now.
DragonForceAsh: Thanks.
Guest: I may do Futurama one day.
Akakiru: I could do it.
Airchampion: I look forward to it as well.
NexusPrime42: I have thought about that for Halloween.
Guest: Sorry, not interested in Mafia.
Currently, the audience was taking a break after seeing the events of the last viewing where Jaune was fighting against an evil Namekian named Slug.
"I gotta say, seeing Jaune and the others fight Slug and his men was pretty fun to see." Coco said.
"Me too." Ruby perked up in response. "It's a pretty cool world.
"Yeah, those two Fighter Jaune worlds are the best." Yang grinned. "But seriously though, how is a name like Slug gonna strike fear into anyone?" Yang asked.
"At least he showed that he was a pretty effective fighter against Jaune." Penny said.
"I'm still confused over that champion Christmas thing he used." Blake said.
"It's not as good as a Super Saiyan." Yang said.
"I just wish that version of Jaune wasn't as dense." Weiss sighed, remembering how dense he could be.
"Hey, you married him." Blake said with a smirk on her lips, causing Weiss to glare at her teammate, as did Pyrrha, Velvet and Yang, for different reasons.
"I'm back!" View called out as everyone turned to the spectre, holding a familiar looking orb in his hand. "So, any guesses on what this world might be?" View said.
"Oh, uh, Spider-Man again?" Ruby guessed.
"Nope." View said, causing Ruby to grumble.
"The Autobots?" Ren suggested, causing View to shake his head.
"Oh! How about the one about the cops?" Weiss asked.
"Nada." View said, causing Weiss to roll her eyes in annoyance.
"OH!" Nora suddenly perked up. "Is it the one with the Clones?"
"Bingo!" View confirmed, causing Nora to pump her fist in victory.
"Ah good." Ironwood said. "It'll be good to see a military environment again."
Qrow scoffed at this. "Yeah, like you haven't seen enough of them, Jimmy."
"Let's just see how this world is progressing in it's battle." Ozpin said, not wanting a fight to break out.
"I could not agree more." View muttered, not wanting any more brawls to start. "Anyways, this will be a return to a certain squad you're all familiar with." View said, causing some of the audience, mainly the kids to understand what he meant.
View then tossed the orb in and the screen started up, prompting all of the audience to turn their attention to the screen.
STAR WARS
THE CLONE WARS
"Woah!" Yang exclaimed as she rubbed her ear, as did the Faunus in the room. "Forgot how loud that could be."
"Well it gave us a hell of a reminder" Sun said as he stopped wincing.
The best confidence builder is experience
"Definitely not wrong there." Qrow agreed with the fortune cookie. "That's how I usually teach things."
Winter rolled her eyes. "I'm surprised your students can learn a thing from you."
"Clone forces rally!" The narrator spoke as the screen showed images of Clone Troopers and Jedi in battle. "As the war escalates in the Outer Rim, the Jedi knights are spread thinly across the galaxy."
"Many new clones are rushed into service to support their Jedi generals." The Narrator said as it showed the medial facility and many made Clones. "Unfortunately, because of the relentless demands of battle, many young clones must join the struggle before their intensive training has been completed."
Ironwood nodded in agreement at this. "That's often an issue we have when recruiting, not enough time to properly train them."
"That must be hard for those men." Kali said.
"Indeed it is." Ironwood said in a tone that felt remorseful.
"These clones, manning of a whole network of tracking stations, are all that stands between the Republic and invasion." The Narrator said as it now showed the surface of a moon like area, where a Republic outpost was currently stationed.
"Wow, this seems like...a boring place to be stationed in." Yang commented.
"No doubt." Sun said.
"That doesn't mean that it is not important." Glynda said in a stern tone. "No matter where the location of the mission is, it must be taken with absolute seriousness."
"Still boring though." Qrow muttered.
On the platform of the landing site was a single Clone Sentry equipped with a pair of Macrobinoculars on his helmet as he observed the rocky terrain. "This is the deck officer checking in. Nothing going on. As usual." The Deck officer said in a slightly bored tone.
"Sounds like a fun job" Coco said with sarcasm in her voice.
Inside of the base was a group of Clones at their stations while listening to a holo recording of a female droid. "You're listening to the grand army of the Republic broadcast. The voice of the Outer Rim." The droid spoke in an alluring tone.
"Woah, pretty hot for a robot." Qrow said with a smirk.
"Uncle Qrow!" Yang exclaimed. "Don't be so gross!"
A Clone with a data pad walked into the main room where his comrades were. "This next one goes out to the med-jumpers of the 224th. Smuggling it out on Membom. Keep your heads down and your seals tight, boys." The woman spoke.
Currently, two clones were locked in an arm tugging contest with each other. And quickly, the second clone manages to win against his friend by pinning his arm done.
"Ah, ha, ha! Yes! Who's next?" The Clone boasted to his fellow comrades who ignored him and went back to work. "Fives?"
"Wait? Fives?" Velvet said with a surprised look.
"YES!" Ruby pumped her fist up. "I knew it was gonna be the Domino Squad!" Ruby exclaimed, excited to see the team again.
"The Domino who?" Tai asked with a confused looked.
"The Domino Squad was a group of cadets training to be troopers." Glynda explained. "They weren't exactly good at teamwork..."
"But over time, they manage to pull it off." Ren finished.
"Yeah!" Nora said in a chipper tone. "And soon, they're gonna be ARC Troopers!"
"ARC Troopers?" Penny asked.
"I'll explain it for later." View assured.
"Shouldn't you be watching your scopes, Hevy?" Fives asked.
"Yeah, Let's take a look." Hevy said with sarcasm as he looked over the footage. "Hmm, well, you know? All clear. Just like the last thousand times I looked at it."
"So this is where they ended up at? Some outpost?" Sun said. "I was hoping that they'd be at a way more interesting place.
"Me too." Ruby said in agreement.
"Doesn't mean it isn't important." Blake said.
"Personally, I like that it's so quiet out here." Echo said in a fond tone. "I can catch up on the rig manuals."
Winter smiled at this in agreement, thinking it was a good way to spend time when stationed.
"Echo, what is wrong with you?" Hevy exclaimed. "We should be out on the front lines, blasting droids."
"Ah, Leave him alone. They kept him in his growth jar too long." Cutup jokes.
"Yeah." Hevy said in agreement as the pair laughed while Echo looked annoyed and went pack to his manual.
"That seems like a mean thing to say to a relative." Penny said.
Ironwood sighed at this. "I see Hevy hasn't lost his attitude then."
"You may not realize it yet, Fives, but you landed on the most boring post in the Outer rim." Hevy said as the Sergeant in command walked up behind him.
"And one of the most important." The Sergeant said in a stoic tone, gaining the attention of all the clones.
Ironwood hummed in interest. "He must be the one in charge."
Cutup then turned on the buzzer, alerting all the Clones. "Attention! Sergeant on deck!" Cutup spoke with respect as all the Clones gathered around and stood at attention for their officer in command.
"At ease!" Sergeant O'Niner spoke in a commanding tone. "Even though you're all new here, I shouldn't have to remind you that this quadrant is key to the Outer Rim." O'Niner explained. "If the droids get past this station, they can surprise-attack the facilities where we were born in our home world of Kamino. There are some officers on the way, so I want everything squared away for inspection. Understood?" Sergeant O'Niner asked all of his men.
"Sir, yes, sir!" The Clones spoke at once.
"Maybe this is where Hevy and the others can show their sergeant what they're made of." Pyrrha said.
"Yeah!" Nora pumped up her fist in agreement. "The Jaune's beat the citadel and they can definitely beat this!"
"I bet they'll see action soon." Yang grinned. "At least hopefully they will."
The screen then changed to space, where a couple of Republic Ships were currently immobile. Inside of the capital ship was Lie Ren, who had a thoughtful look to his face as he turned around to the strategy room, where his former Padawan Sun was currently at.
"Still here, Sun." Ren said as Sun was looking over a map. "When was the last time you slept?" Ren asked.
"I'll sleep after we find General Grievous." Sun said in a tired tone as he rubbed his temple. "Clone intelligence spotted him in the Balmorra system. That was weeks ago. Since then, he vanished."
"Who is this Grievous?" Penny asked.
"Oh I remember." Ruby suddenly said. "He was that cyborg guy who had four arms. While also holding four lightsabers. I thought that was cool"
"Seems pretty hardcore." Tai said.
"Like you wouldn't believe." Yang said.
"Well, unlike you, maybe he's getting some much-need rest." Ren sassed his former Padawan, his droid R2 beeping in agreement.
"Huh, the sass is strong with this one." Coco remarked.
"Excuse me, General." The voice of Admiral Wullf Yularen spoke to the Jedi. "Incoming transmission from Commander Cody."
"Ah, the commander of the 212th," Winter said.
"Still not as good as the 501st." Qrow remarked.
The Holo-Tables screen changed from the planet map to Commander Cody who stood at attention before the Jedi. "General Ren, General Wukong." Cody spoke with respect.
"Cody. How goes the inspections?" Ren asked.
"The tracking station in Pastil is fully operational. Captain Rex and I are proceeding to the outpost in the Rishi system." Cody informed.
"That's where Hevy and the Dominos are!" Nora said with excitement at the thought of those two groups meeting.
"Hopefully, they can impress them enough." Kali said.
"I bet they will." Yang grinned.
"Good. Report back once you've arrived." Ren ordered.
"Copy that. Cody out." Cody said as the Holo-Call went off.
"Good man, that Cody." Rem complimented. He then turned to Sun who was still worried. "Don't worry, Sun. If General Grievous comes anywhere near this quadrant, we'll know about it."
The screen then cuts to a shot of the Rishi Moon. Then it cuts to the station, where an alarm was suddenly activated.
"Sir, incoming meteor shower." A clone reported to the Sergeant.
"Oh, things are finally getting interesting." Yang said with excitement.
"Wherever it'll be good or not will be debatable." Weiss said.
"Raise the shield." O'Niner ordered. The Clone then went to his station and began to raise the shield for the base.
"You wanted excitement, Hevy." Cutup remarked.
"Right." Hevy scoffed. "Meteor shower."
"It doesn't seem all that thrilling." Ghira said.
"I'd be pretty excited if I saw one." Nora said.
"They do seem cool." Ruby said in agreement.
The screen showed the outside of the base where a cluster of asteroids were falling down to the surface of the moon. Thanks to the shields, the meteors did no damage to the station as the others went along near it, crashing all around the station, while one looked odd.
The Sentry Clone looked around with his Macrobinoculars to look over any of the damage the meteors might have caused. He looked around until something caught his vision. He zoomed in to see that one of the crashed objects was not in fact a meteor, but rather, what looked to be an escape pod.
"Wait...what is that?" Velvet asked.
"That appears to be an escape pod." Penny observed.
"But why would...Oh no..." Weiss said with worry, knowing what it might be.
"What is it?" Kali asked.
"Things aren't gonna go well for the clones." Ilia said. "That's what."
"What the-" The clone said to himself in confusion. Suddenly, A Commando Droid popped into his field of vision.
"Holy hell!" Tai exclaimed in shock at the sight of the droid in front of him.
The Clone lifted his visor to see the droid right in front of him. But he couldn't do anything as a droid from behind electrocuted him, shocking him until he lay on the ground, motionless.
"Oh no!" Ruby exclaimed, sad to see the Clone die like that.
"This isn't good," Ironwood said with a serious expression.
"No it is not, old friend." Ozpin said.
The Commando in front of him started to drag away the body while the other three went towards the base.
Meanwhile, the pod that the clone saw had an open hatch that was glowing red from the inside. Droids started to fall out of the pod and onto the surface of the moon. They began to march forwards towards the outpost.
"What is that thing, a clown car?" Yang exclaimed.
"'Cept there's nothing funny about this." Coco said.
Back at the outpost, the three droids reached the front doors. The captain turned to the droid next to him. "Get these doors open." The droid ordered in a deep and robotic tone.
"Roger, roger." The droid responded in the same tone. He then opened the access panel and began to hotwire it.
"Something tells me that these droids ain't gonna be as incompetent as the other words." Qrow said.
"Indeed." Ironwood hummed in agreement. "They're far more focused and coordinated then the ones we've seen before.
"And they are far more of a threat." Ozpin added.
Meanwhile in the base, Sergeant O'Niner was trying to communicate with the sentry outside on his coms.
"CT-327, report in." Sergeant O'Niner spoke but no answer came. "Sentry, do you copy?"
"Interference from the meteors?" Echo suggested.
"If only, buddy." Qrow said, knowing things aren't gonna go down well for the blonde clone.
"I don't see him down there, sarge." Hevy responded while looking over the monitors.
O'Niner then turned to two clones, Droidbait and Nub. "You two, go find him." O'Niner ordered as the two clones began to run while putting on their helmets, heading down to the doors.
"They're gonna need a lot more than those two." Ilia commented.
The doors opened as the Commando Droids walked in while holding up their blasters. The Clones walked down the stairs as they spotted the droids in front of them.
"Droids!" Droidbait yelled out as he pointed at the Deadly Commandos.
"This isn't gonna end well..." Ruby said in a very worried tone as she didn't like seeing these versions of Jaune die, neither did his friends and family.
They began to fire at the clones in front of them as the doors closed behind them. Sergeant O'Niner heard the sounds of blasters firing and placed his helmet on and ran down to assist his troops.
The Commandos were pushing forward as O'Niner let off a few rounds at the clankers before taking cover, the droids still pushing their assault.
"Man, these droids are strong." Sun commented.
"They are agile." Ren said.
"Sound the alarm!" O'Niner yelled at the rookies while providing cover fire for them, managing to take one down.
Hevy tried to activate the alarm, but did nothing in response. He then moved towards the top of the stairs. "They've disabled the beacon!" Hevy informed.
The Droids we're getting closer as Fives, Echo and Cutup joined Hevy at the top of the stairs, seeing two of their comrades dead at the bottom of the stairs while Sergeant O'Niner was still at his cover spot and looked up at the rookies.
"Droidbait!" Velvet gasped in shock and terror at seeing the Domino dead on the floor.
"Oh no!" Weiss exclaimed in sadness.
"Damn those trash cans!" Yang growled at the sight of the Domino down.
"Get a message to the fleet!" Sergeant O'Niner ordered. "We have to warn-" O'Niner tried to say until he was shot in the knee by one of the Commando Droids.
"Oh no!" Ruby exclaimed.
"This isn't gonna end well..." Qrow said in a grim tone, knowing where this was going.
He was on the ground as he reached for his blaster, turned and tried to take them down, but the droids swiped his gun off him as he laid their helpless. The three Commandos then proceeded the blast into the Sergeant as he let out a death yell.
"Jaune!" Pyrrha, Yang, Velvet and Saphron cried out in shock as Terra held her wife's hand in comfort while also shielding her son's eyes.
"Sarge!" Hevy cried out as he and the other clones were forced back inside of the main command area of the bunker while droids fired at them and came after them.
As the droids came up to get inside of the command centre, Cutup closed the doors before they could get in. He also decided to pull some wires out, further denying them access to the room.
"That should slow those buckets down." Cutup said.
"Smart move." Tai complimented.
"Indeed." Glynda said in agreement. "But who knows how long until they get in."
"They just need to find a way out." Pyrrha said in a hopeful tone, calming down after seeing a clone of the boy she loved die in such a brutal way.
Hevy then turned and ran to a vent nearby. He kneeled and pulled the grate from the wall. "This way. Hurry!" Hevy yelled out to his squad.
Fives and Cutup followed but Echo was adamant. "No, we can-" Echo tried to protest until he saw the doors being breached in by the droids.
"It's pointless trying to stop them now." Ren said.
"Yes, they won't be able to hold out." Ozpin said. "The best course of action is to retreat."
"There's too many." Hevy stated as he headed in with the rest of the clones. Echo gave one last look before following the rest of the clones as the door was nearly breached.
Echo closed the gate and crawled to follow the rest of his brothers as the door fell down and the droids walked in, prepared to kill any Clones in their way.
"Phew...just in time." Velvet sighed in relief.
"Yeah, but it's gonna be a hell of a lot of trouble for them now." Coco said.
"Miss Adel is right." Glynda said. "Now that they have gained access to the outpost they can do anything they want with it now."
"But what do they want with it?" Kali said.
"It's like they said before, they have access to other outpost stations." Ironwood said. "Including the location of Kamino."
The Droids quickly gained access to the command room as the Captain Commando looked around the place. A Commando Droid then walked up to the captain. "Four Clones escaped, Captain." The Commando Droid informed.
"They don't matter." The Captain coldly said. "Hardwire the all clear signal and contact General Grievous." The Captain ordered as the Commando went through with the order.
"This is not good." Penny said with a sad look.
"No, it is not." Blake said in agreement with the android girl.
The screen then cuts to space, where a Separatist Blockade was currently seated and waiting. Inside the main ship was the malevolent General Grievous as he was speaking with the Captain Commando.
"Woah, that guy looks scary." Sun commented.
"I'll say..." Tai said in agreement.
Penny herself was also unnerved by the sight of the cyborg general. Feeling like she was looking at a dark reflection.
"The outpost is secure, general. We shut down the alarm and turned on the all-clear signal." The Captain informed.
"Excellent." Grievous said. "Keep that signal alive. I don't want the Republic to find out we're coming." Grievous ordered.
A Battle Droid then spoke up. "General, our spy on Kamino is making contact." The droid informed as the hologram changed to Sith Apprentice, Cinder, with a cloak over her.
"Of course it's her..." Yang groaned in annoyance, feeling already used to seeing Cinder as a villain by this point.
"All the preparations for your invasion are in order." Cinder informed in a cold tone.
"Good. Our fleet is approaching the system. We are almost at the rendezvous point." Grievous informed the Sith.
"Very good, my Lord. I will await your arrival." Cinder spoke to the mechanical General.
"The destruction of Kamino will stop their production of clones for good." Grievous said in a malicious tone.
"They won't get away with this." Ruby said with a serious tone in her voice. "The Dominos can stop them."
"I hate to say it, Miss Rose. But I highly doubt that'll be the case." Ironwood carefully said. "Those Commandos are clearly designed differently then the previous droids and they're only four of them. They won't be able to stand a chance."
"What about Rex and Cody?" Pyrrha asked. "They're experienced soldiers. Surely they can stop the droids?"
"If they can find out about it in time." Qrow said.
The screen then changed to a Republic Shuttle flying towards the Rishi Moon. Inside the ship was Captain Rex and Commander Cody, the latter of whom was trying to contact the base.
"Rishi outpost, this is Commander Cody. Do you copy?" Commander Cody spoke to the comlink but no answer came. "Rishi outpost, please respond." Cody's voice spoke again to the droids who were now manning the base.
"Ha!" Nora laughed. "It looks like those tin cans aren't gonna get out of this one."
View was quiet at this. "I'd keep watching if I were you."
The Captain Droid, holding up a clone helmet, adjusted his vocal processor. "Open, open Open comlink channel." The Captain ordered while putting the helmet on, his voice changing from it's robotic one to that sounding exactly like a Clone Trooper.
"Ah come on!" Nora exclaimed, throwing her hands down.
"That is quite the trick." Tai said.
"Indeed." Winter said with a frown.
Ruby then turned to Penny. "Can you do that, Penny?"
"No. I do not have that feature installed." Penny answered. "But I believe my father can give me that if I asked." Penny pondered.
"Rishi outpost, come in." Cody spoke. "Rishi outpost, come in." The 212th Commander said until he finally gained access to the station, where a "clone" greeted him.
"Sorry, commander." The "clone" apologized in an odd tone. "We're experiencing technical difficulties."
"Woah, it nearly sounds like him." Sun said.
"Indeed." Pyrrha said in agreement. "But just sounds a little off."
"Hopefully Rex and Cody won't be fooled." Velvet said.
"This is the inspection team." Cody informed.
"Inspection? Negative, negative. We do not require an inspection. Everything is fine here. Thank you." The droid in disguise tried to fool but neither Cody and Rex were fooled.
"We'll be the judge of that." Cody said, undeterred. "Prepare for our arrival."
"Roger, roger." The "Clone" responded as the comlink went off.
"Something's not right here." Rex mutters to himself.
"Well, good luck." Cody said with an amused look. "I'm putting you in charge of this one." Cody said as the ship was heading from the moon to see what was going on.
Winter sighed at this."At least they aren't fooled." Winter said
"Hopefully, they'll be prepared for what's to come." Ironwood said.
"I hope nothing bad happens to them." Ruby said.
"We can only hope, kiddo." Qrow said as he took a swing of his flask.
Meanwhile, on the outside of the base, Hevy, Echo, Fives and Cutup made it where the vent was leading them, to the outside of the base. As they exited the vent, they all walked to wherever the path was leading them.
"What do we do without the sarge?" Fives asked the rest of his squad, wondering what they should do next.
"They can handle this." Saphron said. "I mean, they did the Citadel challenge when they were training."
"This isn't training," Ren reminded. "This is a real thing. And they might not be able to beat them on their own."
"Mr Ren is correct," Glynda said. "The best hope they have now is to try and warn Rex and Cody of the droids."
"If they can reach them in time." Kali said in a worried tone.
"The reg manual says the next-" Echo tried to say until Hevy suddenly spoke up.
"Wait. Wait. Did you hear that?" Hevy asked, to a weird sound coming from the distance.
"What is it?" Coco asked.
"Nothing good I think." Yang said. "Who knows what's out there."
"Yeah, what is that?" Fives asked as he looked around the area.
"It doesn't sound like droids." Cutup said in a worried tone.
Cutup was right to be worried as nearby from them, a large slithering creature was worming it's way to the surviving Clones.
"What the hell..." Qrow said.
"Is that...a worm?" Winter asked in disgust.
"Don't forget about those giant eels." Hevy reminded in a grave tone.
"Ah, I've never seen-" Fives was about to say as a giant Rishi Eel appeared behind the Clones and snatched onto to Cutup as he screamed in terror.
The audience reeled back in shock at the sudden appearance of the worm.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Coco exclaimed.
"HOLY HELL!" Tai shouted.
"CUTUP!" Yang cried out in shock and terror.
"NO! NO!" Ruby yelled out, not wanting to see another Domino die right before her.
"Cutup!" Fives yelled out as Hevy tried to shoot the thing down as the Eel roared at it, Cutup still in its mouth as it began to slither away in a hole.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" Hevy yelled as he pointed at the eel that slivered away.
"Uh, that was an Eel" Echo answered calmly. "Now, that's why we have the regulation not to go outside."
"Cutup..." Ruby said sadly with Yang having to comfort her little sister while also being upset of seeing the Clone she liked die like that.
"Damn it." Sun cursed. "He didn't deserve to die like that."
"Yeah." Coco said in agreement.
"Sadly, that is sometimes the case." Ozpin said in a solemn tone.
"The best thing those men can do that is continue moving forward and stop those droids." Ironwood said.
Hevy sighed and took a deep breath and regained himself. "Let's move before it comes back." Hevy said as he, Fives and Echo started to move out.
"Ah, poor Cutup." Echo said sympathetically as he moved with the rest of the remaining Clones.
"Hopefully when they get the base back they can find that damn eel and take it down" Yang said with a serious look.
The Clones continued to walk until the sound of an engine was heard up above. Fives looked up and spoke out to Echo and Hevy. "Look! It's Commander Cody!" Fives pointed up above where a Republic Shuttle was heading down to the landing pad.
"It's the inspection team." Echo said.
"They're here!" Ruby smiled.
"But they don't know about the droids!" Saphron said with a worried look.
The Shuttle then landed down on the landing pad of the base. The shuttle doors opened as Rex and Cody walked out, while holding their blasters in case anything happened.
"This is not good. I don't see the deck officer anywhere." Cody said as he and Rex walked towards the base.
"These boys are sloppy." Rex said with clear disappointment as unbeknownst to the pair, a Commando was hiding behind some crates. "There should always be an officer on duty."
"That's not good." Ren muttered. "They could easily get the drop on them."
"But why haven't they attacked yet?" Terra asked.
"Element of surprise I imagine." Winter said.
The surviving Clones watched from their spot as Rex and Cody were walking into a danger zone. "We have to warn them. Get on the comlink." Hevy ordered.
Back at the platform, the front doors opened and what looked like a clone was walking out in an odd away.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Rex stated as the "Clone" walked up to them.
"Yeah, you're not wrong there." Qrow said.
"I mean if he's not setting off red flags for just how he walks..." Coco said.
"Welcome to Rishi, Commander. As you can see, the outpost is operating at peak efficiency. Thank you for visiting, and have a safe trip back." The Clone said in a robotic way and did some odd hand gestures.
"Well...if that doesn't convince them..." Sun commented.
"I know, I mean, who talks like that?" Yang asked.
Penny darted her eyes back and forth. She was very thankful that no one was looking at her.
Rex and Cody just looked at each other in suspicion. Not convinced at all. "We need to inspect the base just the same." Cody said as he and Rex tried to walk to the base but the "Clone" stopped them.
"There is no need. Everything is fine and fully operational." The "Clone" tried to convince the pair.
Back below, Echo was trying to reach the inspection team but to no avail. "It's no good. Their comlinks are on a different scramble set." Echo said.
"I'll signal them with this flare." Hevy said as he primed his gun.
"Great idea." Velvet complimented.
"Hopefully they'll see it in time.
"Well with the way that droid is going, I'm sure they'll figure it sooner." Nora said.
"Good point, Nora." Blake complimented, causing the pink bomber to smile.
Back up top, Rex was getting tired of the stalling. "Take us to the Sergeant in command." Rex ordered as he walked closer to the supposed Sargent.
"Roger, roger." The clone nodded, prompting Rex and Cody to look at each other. But what caught their attention was a bright red flare in the sky above.
"Yes! They did it." Ruby cheered.
"A droid attack flare?" Cody said, confused.
Before he could question it, Rex aimed his blaster at the clone visitor and shot him point blank, killing him as he fell, much to Cody's shock.
"Boom bitch!" Nora yelled out.
"Nora!" Pyrrha said in a stern tone. "Language!"
"Woah, Rex! What the heck are you doing!?" Cody demanded.
"Being a badass." Coco smirked.
"Relax" Rex said as he kneeled down to the clone he shot and removed his helmet to reveal it to be a Commando Droid. "Just as I thought. Looks like one of those new commando droids." Rex observed.
"That flare must have come from the survivors." Cody suggested. But before either Clone could continue on, they were met with blaster fire, to which repelled back against.
"Ambush!" Rex yells out while falling back with Cody as Commando Droids try to gun them down.
"Take 'em down, Jaune's!" Yang yelled out.
"This isn't gonna be easy for them." Winter pointed out. "There are only two of them and there are more droids."
"Well Rex is an ARC Trooper isn't he?" Weiss asked.
"Doesn't mean he can't be killed." Ilia said bluntly.
One Commando was standing on a crate as he tried to shoot down Cody. Luckily for him, he managed to dodge in time and fire a few rounds at the droid, knocking it back only for it to reactivate itself and continue firing.
"Oh what!" Yang exclaimed in disbelief.
"Those aren't your regular droids." Ren said. "They're far tougher."
"Ah! Those clankers have tough armor!" Cody gritted as he and Rex were pushed into a corner, they were completely surrounded.
"We're cut off." Rex said as he and Cody tried to fight their way out of this mess.
As they were firing, two more Commando Droids entered the battle, one of them holding a thermal detonator and throwed it towards the Clones.
"Oh no!" Kali said.
"This isn't gonna end well." Qrow said.
"Off the platform!" Rex yelled out.
"Copy that." Cody replied as the grenades rolled their way to them and to their ship. The grenades exploded, causing their ship to be destroyed, creating a massive ball of fire in the process.
The Commandos surveyed the area and saw that Captain Rex and Commander Cody were gone as well.
"Are they?" Saphron asked with worry in her voice while her son looked sad that his uncle might be gone.
"I wouldn't presume anything just yet." Glynda said.
"There's no way Jaune-Jaunes would die to those tin cans!" Nora said.
"No sign of them. They must have been pulverized." The Commando said as one of the other droids let out a maniacal laugh. "Resume defensive posts." The Commando ordered as they went back to their posts.
But unbeknownst to the droids, Rex and Cody had survived the explosion just under them while attached to cable wires. They then descended down below while passing as Rishi Eel along the way. They landed on the ground, next to the remains of their ship.
"Ha!" Nora laughed. "I knew they would make it out of there!"
"That's all well and good but how are they gonna take the base back?" Blake asked.
"Well the droids think they're dead, so it'll make it much easier to surprise them." Ruby suggested.
"Well, that sure complicates things, Commander." Rex stated as he looked over the wreckage. "No worse than that time on Tibrin."
"We had Jedi with us on Tibrin." Cody reminded. "They helped."
Rex then raised his hand up to Cody as he saw something near the wreckage. Out of the smoke were the three Clone survivors, but Rex and Cody still raised their blasters at them.
"It's the Dominios!" Ruby said with a happy look, glad to see that they were okay.
"But they don't know that." Pyrrha said with a worried look as she saw Rex and Cody point their blasters at them.
"Hands above your heads. Take your sunbonnets off!" Rex ordered as the Dominos put their hands up.
"Uh, Sir?" Echo asked, confused.
"Take 'em off! NOW!" Rex demanded.
"Smart move." Qrow said. "After what happened from before, it's best to be sure."
Fives, Echo and Hevy took off their helmets to reveal that they were real clones this time, causing Rex to lower his gun. But just then, the Eel that eat Cutup suddenly crawled out of a hole near them and roared at them.
"Oh for god's sake!" Coco exclaimed.
"Take that thing down!" Nora shouted out.
But Rex just shot the thing in the eye, killing it instantly as it fell to the ground.
"That was for Cutup! Ya damn eel!" Yang exclaimed with an angry look, glad that the eel got what it deserved for killing Cutup.
Winter hummed in interest. "Very impressive shot."
"Indeed." Ironwood said in agreement.
Rex got close to the eel and examined it as he took off his helmet.
"Nice shot" Hevy complemented.
"The name's Rex." The 501st Captain said as his hand caught some of the eel's blood. "But you'll call me Captain or sir." Rex said with an authoritative tone as he turned to them.
"SIR, YES SIR!" They all said at the same time and stood at attention.
"Way to control the room." Sun said.
"Well he is under your command." Blake pointed out with a smirk.
"Huh, I guess he is." Sun said with a goofy grin as Blake rolled her eyes and her dad rolled his.
"I'm Commander Cody, your new boss." The 212th Commander greeted as he took off his helmet.
"My Trooper designation 27-5555, sir" Fives said with respect.
"We call him Fives." Hevy said. "I'm Hevy. This is Echo." Hevy introduced him and his comrade.
"Soon to be ARC Troopers." Nora grinned.
"If they live that long." Ilia said bluntly, prompting glares from Team RWBY and JNPR.
"Where's your sergeant?" Cody asked.
"Dead, sir." Echo regretfully informed. "We're all that's left."
"Looks like we got ourselves a batch of "Shines" Commander" Rex said as he walked down to them.
"Shines?" Weiss said with a confused look.
"Shinies, Sir?" Echo asked, confused as the 501st Captain walked up to him.
"That's right." Rex said. "Your armour is shiny and new..." Rex said as he placed his palm on Echo's chest. "Just like you." Rex finished as he removed his hand, leaving a hand shaped imprint of the eels blood on his chest.
"Did he really need to do that?" Weiss asked.
"I like it." Ruby smiled. "It gives the armor its own unique look."
"Plus, we can tell those three apart better." Qrow said.
"Sir, me and my batchers are trained and ready. We'll take back our post, shiny or not." Hevy spoke in determination to take back their base.
"There's hope for you yet, rookie." Rex said with an impressed smirk on his face while the Rookies are ready for anything.
"Alright!" Yang said, pumping her fist up. "Time to show those clankers what Clones can do!"
"Hell yeah!" Sun said in agreement.
The screen then changed to the Republic Frigate where Admiral Yularen was trying to contact Rex and Cody.
"Commander Cody, do you copy?" Yularen called but no answer came. "Captain Rex, please respond."
"They should have checked in from the Rishi station hours ago." Ren said. "It appears your captain follows orders as well as you do."
"Perhaps Cody is boring Rex with standard procedures and protocol." Sun retorted with sarcasm.
"Oh the sass with these two are strong." Coco said with a grin.
"We need to work on our own boring procedures and figure out a strategy to find Grievous." Ren said in a serious tone.
"Right." Sun nodded. "Admiral, let me know if you hear from Rex." Sun said to the admiral who nodded in response as Sun and Ren left.
Back on the moon, Rex, Cody and the Rookies were climbing their way back up to the command centre. "Look sharp, rookies." Rex said. "As long as those tweezers occupy this post, our home planet of Kamino is at risk." Rex said in a grave tone while handing Echo his blaster.
"But there's so many of them." Echo said with worry.
"Doesn't matter, kid. We have to retake this base, so we will retake this base." Rex said in a serious tone.
The Rookies then primed their weapons, ready to assist in any way.
"They can do this." Ruby smiled. "If these Clones are like the Jaune we know, there's no stopping him.
"Indeed." Pyrrha smiled in agreement.
"How do you propose we get through those blast doors, Rex, old boy?" Cody asked.
"I have a few ideas." Rex said while raising his blaster.
Back inside of the base, three commandos were standing guard at the front door in case of anyone else coming in.
One of the Commandos then saw something on the monitor. "What is that?" The droid asked.
The screen showed an outside view of Rex walking towards the base, almost walking robotically, all the while the other clones were standing near the doors ready to attack.
"Oh, interesting." Ironwood said as he leaned in, curious to see how this will play out.
"Is this gonna work?" Saphron asked.
"Hopefully so." Glynda said.
The Commando Droid then used the comms to communicate with Rex. "Unit-2-6. is that you?" The Commando asked.
An eyestalk then popped out of a panel and blinked at Rex.
"Roger. Roger!" Rex said, trying to imitate a commando droid.
"You sound strange..." The commando said, suspicious of the supposed disguised droid. "Is something wrong with your vocabulator?"
Rex began to adjust his neck slightly to keep up the appearance. "Roger. Roger." Rex repeated.
The audience began to worry that the droids we're going to see through this deception.
"I'm hoping this will work." Ren said.
"We can only hope they'll fall for it." Blake said.
"Take off your helmet. Let me see your faceplate." The Commando ordered.
"Oh no." Ruby said, worried that the plan wasn't going to work.
"Roger. Roger." Rex nodded as he ducked under to remove his helmet. A droid head then popped up in front of the camera, even though its lights were out.
In actuality, Rex was kneeling on the ground and held up a droids head in front of the eyestalk.
"Is he serious?" Ilia asked with a raised brow.
"Well he is Sun's Captain." Yang said.
"Hey!" Sun cried out.
"It'll work." Nora said with confidence.
Cody shook his head at this display. "This is never gonna work..." Cody groaned.
"I'm inclined to agree." Winter said.
"Give it a chance." Ironwood said.
The Commando Droids were fooled by this and opened up the door for them. When it opened, Rex stood in front of the droids and held his pistol at them.
"Clones!" The Commando droid exclaimed in shock.
"Roger. Roger..." Rex repeated a final time as he shot the droid in front of him and Cody, Fives, Echo and Heavy shot all of the other two commandos at once.
Qrow smirked at this tactic. "Nice!"
"Epic one-liner!" Yang cheered with excitement. "Score one for Lover Boy!"
Tai Looks at her, suspicious. "Lover Boy?"
Yang realised what she just said, eyes wide, she was scarlet faced embarrassed "... Oops."
"Right. let's move!" Rex ordered as he and the rest of the clones moved forward to the base. They reached the stairs where they took cover from.
"Permission to take point, sir?" Echo asked.
"I'm always first, kid." Rex said as he and the rest of the Clones ran up the stairs to take the command centre.
"Oh, confident one is he?" Coco smirked.
"That he is." Yang smirked, along with Velvet and Pyrrha.
When they were halfway up there, Rex immediately blasted a droid on sight, shooting it in the head and managing to shoot another one down. The droids fired back as Rex took down one more while Cody and the rookies took cover and supported Rex by providing cover fire.
"Damn, these guys are on point." Sun commented.
"Well they were trained since birth for this sort of thing." Weiss pointed out.
"And it shows." Ruby said.
One of the commandos fired a shot onto Five's shoulder, causing him to yell out in pain and took cover.
"Fives!" Echo called out in worry for his brother.
"Oh no!" Velvet cried out.
"He's okay." Winter said. "Just a graze."
"He's okay." The 212th Commander assured. "Focus on the battle." Cody said.
Rex in the meantime was taking cover near the main station. He managed to get a shot onto the Captain Commando's gun. But then the Commando pulled out a blade and leaped towards Rex.
"Wait, they have swords now?" Tai asked, shocked.
"Well that's not fair!" Nora frowned.
"Where was he even hiding it?" Glynda asked.
Luckily, Rex managed to roll away before the blade could reach him. Rex got up as the droid swung at him but Rex simply got behind the droid and snapped its head off of it and slammed it to the ground.
"That was so cool!" Nora and Ruby said at once.
"Hell yeah!" Qrow said.
Cody managed to duck before a shot could get near him as he killed the Commando in front of him. Echo and Hevy manage to take down a single Commando at the same time.
Winter and Ironwood smirked in approval over the way Cody took that droid, as did Weiss and Coco when Hevy and Echo took down the droid at the same time.
"I got one!" Echo exclaimed in excitement.
"Sorry, Echo. I jumped that one." Hevy boasted.
"Like hell you did." Echo grunted in annoyance as Hevy removed his helmet.
"Remind you of anyone?" Qrow asked as he sent a look towards Tai.
Tai sighed in annoyance. "I told you before, it was mine!"
"Like hell it was!" Qrow yelled.
The Clones looked around and saw that all droids were down. They had managed to take back the base. Hevy looked down onto a fallen Commando. "Not so tough now are you, sparky!" Hevy mocked the fallen droid.
"I guess they did matter after all, huh?" Coco said with a smirk.
"Showed them!" Ruby exclaimed.
"That they did." Pyrrha said with pride.
Cody walked towards the monitors to check out if everything was in order. But he saw something big that caught his eye. "Get to the window. It looks like we have more visitors." Cody said.
"Oh boy." Nora said with worry.
"No what?" Yang exclaimed.
"Nothing good." Blake said.
Rex, Cody, Fives, Echo and Hevy then ran up to the upper area of the room to see what was happening outside. Echo put his helmet back on and used his visor to get a closer look.
"It looks like a Separatist fleet." Echo said as he looked up to the sky to see a large amount of CIS ships in the sky.
"That's...a lot of them." Terra said with worry.
"That there are." Ghira said. "This might be more then the Clones can handle."
"That's why they commandeered the outpost." Cody realized as Echo removed his helmet. "They're mounting a full-scale invasion."
"We have to warn command." Rex said to the rest of the Clones.
The screen then changed to the Separatist Frigate, where General Grievous was waiting for the Commandos to respond.
"The Republic base is still transmitting the all-clear signal, but for some reason, our commando droids are not responding." A Battle Droid reported.
"We can leave nothing to chance." The cyborg general stated. "That base cannot be allowed to alert the Jedi that we're coming. Send down reinforcements to investigate." Grievous ordered the droid to which he nodded in response and followed the order.
"I've got a bad feeling about this." Sun said.
Back at the Rishi Outpost, Hevy was looking over the terminal. "Those clankers sabotaged our transmitter, and hard-wired the all-clear signal." Hevy said. "It'll take time to repair-"
"We don't have time." Captain Rex interrupted. "Look." Rex gestured to outside where A Separatist Dropship was coming down to the landing pad.
The audience was getting worried about this. The Clones of Jaune did manage to take on the Clankers but this was clearly more than they could handle.
"I do not think that they stand a statistical chance against the Separatists." Penny said with worry.
"Well, buddy, you always said you wanted to be on the front lines." Fives jokingly said as he watched the dropship land.
The doors of the ship opened, revealing a massive unit of Battle Droids as they marched forward to the base all the while the Clones watched.
"We can't protect the outpost long against that army of clankers." Cody stated as he watched the droids march.
"Then we'll destroy the outpost instead." Rex said, prompting all the Clones to look at him in shock.
"It...is the smartest choice." Ironwood admitted.
"Really?" Saphron asked.
"I'm afraid so." Winter said. "It is the only way to make sure the droids take the base."
"But, sir, our mission is to defend this facility at all costs." Hevy pointed out in slight objection.
"We have to warn the Republic about the invasion." Rex said as he turned around to see the droids approaching. "They'll take notice when the all-clear signal stops."
"That's right." Fives realized. "When they stop receiving our beacon, they'll get the message something's wrong."
"That could indeed work." Ozpin hummed.
"We'll need every thermal detonator in the inventory." Rex said with a thoughtful look.
"It'll take more than a few detonators to destroy this outpost." Echo pointed out.
"We can use the LT." Hevy called out, causing the Clones to look at him. "This moon freezes for over half the year. We use Liquid Tibanna as fuel to heat the base."
"I'm guessing that's an explosive?" Blake asked.
"That it is." View nodded.
"Liquid Tibanna: highly explosive." Cody said.
"Good. Bring the tanks here and prime the detonators." Rex ordered as he and the rest of the clones went to do their part.
The Droids continued to approach the base in large numbers, seemingly never ending. Inside the base, Cody and Rex brought Echo, Fives and Hevy to their attention.
"All right, listen up." Rex said in a commanding tone. "There's only one target of interest in this sector: Kamino. It's the closest thing we clones have to a home." Rex said. "Today we fight for more than the Republic. Today we fight for all our brothers back home. Understood?" Rex with determination in his voice.
"Sir, yes, sir!" The three clones yelled out in unison. Each Clone grabbed their helmet and headed down to the armoury.
Ironwood smiled at the display of respect and camaraderie from the Clones.
"Those tin cans won't know what hit them!" Yang grinned.
"Indeed." Weiss said in agreement.
"Let's see what the 501st, 212th and Domino Squad have to say to those clankers!" Ruby cheered. "No offense, Penny." Ruby whispered to her friend.
"No offensive." Penny said with a smile. "They do rather seem poorly designed."
The doors open to reveal a room with a large amount of weapons within it.
"Oooh!" Ruby smiled in excitement at the weapons display.
"Ruby, calm down." Yang tried to pacify her excitable sister.
"I think we can even the odds a bit, Commander, especially since they don't know we're here." Hevy said with a grin under his helmet as he grabbed the minigun. "This one here is mine."
"Oh yeah." Coco grinned. "The big gun is always the best one.
"True to that!" Nora said in agreement.
"Big gun doesn't make a big man." Cody said as the gun's barrel rotated around and Cody gave a blaster to Fives while Rex and Echo were pushing along a Gonk Droid to help assist them with the demolition.
The Droids reached the front door and the first droid in line accessed the comms to the base. "Reinforcements reporting. Open up." The Droid ordered. The doors slowly opened in response as the droids peaked in to see inside. The doors opened to reveal Hevy in front of them holding his Minigun at them.
"Ding dong, asshole" Qrow grinned.
"Didn't say please." Hevy said with excitement in his voice as he proceeded to mow down the droids in his sight while the droids from back at the ship saw this.
"Yeah!" Yang pumped her fist up in excitement. "Take 'em down!"
"Go Domino Squad!" Ruby joined in.
"Rip 'em to shreds!" Nora yelled out with a feral look of excitement on her face.
"Clones! Get 'em!" a Droid commanded as they marched forwards and blasted at the clones. Cody and Fives joined in as Fives threw a grenade at the droids, causing a massive explosion and taking out a good number of droids. The three held the line as droids continued to march forward through the fire, never stopping their assault.
"This isn't good." Pyrrha said with a worried look. "They won't be able to last for much longer."
"All they need to do is hold out until the detonation is ready" Velvet said.
"Hopefully, it'll be ready." Saphron said.
"It has to." Ruby said.
"We could use a Jedi about now." Cody stated as he, Fives and Hevy pulled back away inside the base as Cody closed the doors on the droids.
The screen then changed back with the Republic Frigate where Yularen was still trying to contact Rex and Cody.
"Captain Rex, come in. Commander Cody, are you there?" Yularen tried to reach but still no answer came. He then turned to Master Ren. "General, there's still no response."
"How about the all-clear signal? Is the base still transmitting?" Ren asked.
"Yes, sir." Yularen said.
"If something were wrong, Cody would contact us." Ren started with a thoughtful look.
"Damn droids." Coco cursed.
"Hopefully, they'll be able to take down the base and then maybe the Jedi will learn of this." Ironwood said.
The screen then changed to the Separatist Brigade.
"What is the status of the base?" Grievous demanded.
"Uh, We've run into some difficulties. There seem to be a few clones left, sir." The droid reported.
"Then wipe them out. We can't let a few puny clones stop us." Grievous said with an intense glare.
"These puny clones are about to wreck your whole plans up!" Nora shouted at the cyborg on screen.
"Nora, please calm down." Ren said as he sat Nora back down.
"Sorry Renny, but no one insults Jaune-Jaune and gets away with it." Nora said with a serious look.
The screen then changed back to the base where the droids had managed to force the doors open with detonators. They came marching in as they blasted at the clones, where Hevy and Cody were holding the line.
"This isn't good." Saphron said, worried that the clones of her brother might not make it out of this.
"They'll make it." Ruby said. "I've got faith in them."
"We all do." Pyrrha said.
"Fall back to the op center. Move!" Cody ordered as Hevy provide cover fire until they all fell back to the centre with Cody following. "Rex, time's wasting." Cody said over his wrist coms.
"Almost ready." Rex said over the coms. The three Clones manage to reach the centre where Echo was assisting Rex with the detonation device. "The handset isn't linked up with the detonator." Rex said as he tried to get it properly working but to no result.
"Oh!" Nora looked at it with interest. "That looks like it'll make a big explosion."
"Hell yeah..." Qrow looked on in interest. "Can't wait to see the results of that."
"Hevy." Rex called out to the Domino.
"Yes, sir." Hevy responded.
"This detonator isn't working." Rex said as Hevy grabbed the device.
"I'll take care of it. It'll be fixed in no time." Hevy assured. You guys get out of here." Hevy said as Rex nodded in response.
"He better get out of there in time." Ruby said in a worried tone.
"Don't worry, kiddo." Tai assured his daughter. "He'll be okay."
"I hope so." Yang said.
But people like Ironwood and Winter had a bad feeling about Hevy's chances.
"Just make it fast. Those droids are getting close." Rex said as he caught up with Cody, Echo and Fives near the escape vent.
Fives opened the vent as each clone crawled through and made their way out of the base.
Meanwhile Hevy was looking at the detonation device, trying to get it to work.
"There. That should fix it." Hevy said to himself as he adjusted the device. But as he was linking it, he heard the marching sound of Battle Droids coming near the Ops Centre. He ignored it and tried to get the bomb to work but it wouldn't link up. "This isn't good. There's got to be another way." Hevy muttered as he got up and went to the vent.
"Oh no!" Velvet said with worry in her eyes.
"Damn it!" Yang growled as she slammed her hand onto the armchair.
"There has to be a way to get that detonator working!" Saphron said.
"There's not enough time to do it." Blake said with a solemn look. "The droids are gonna get there and Hevy can't hold them off."
"He can make it!" Ruby said with optimum. "I know he can."
But instead of going in, he closed up the vent and took cover behind a wall. And just in time as the droids marched into the command centre and saw no one there.
"Why isn't he getting out of there!?" Saphron asked, worried and scared for her brother. She knew that he was a clone, but that didn't matter, she was still Jaune to her.
"Because he's doing what good soldiers do." Ironwood said with a serious look.
"The base is ours again, sir. The clones are fleeing." A droid said to the commanding droid.
"Cowards." The commander droid mocked. "Secure the area." The commander ordered as Hevy listened in.
Meanwhile, Rex, Cody and the remaining Rookies managed to get outside of the base and outside of the blast zone. They took cover and waited.
"Hevy, hit the-'' Rex was about to order but noticed he wasn't there with them. "Where's Hevy? Rex asked.
"I'm on it, sir." Hevy spoke over the coms as Rex accessed it.
"Hevy, get out of there." Rex ordered the rookie.
"Listen to him! Please!" Pyrrha said to herself, not wanting to see this Jaune die.
"He's not going to." Blake said with a sad expression. "He needs to finish the mission."
"Bullshit!" Yang cursed. "He can get out of there if he can just..."
"But he won't," Weiss said with a sad expression on her face. "Jaune's too stubborn."
"Yeah...he is." Saphron said sadly as Terra tried to comfort her.
"The remote isn't working. I have to detonate it manually." Hevy said as at the other side of the hallway was a squad of droids who then noticed Hevy.
"Hold on there. Blast him!" The Droid yelled out as they pointed and fired at Hevy while Rex and the others heard.
"Oh no!" Kali said.
"Get out of there!" Yang cried out.
"Hevy." Rex said in a worried tone.
"We've got to get up there." Fives said.
"Back to the maintenance pipe." Cody instructed.
"Let's move." Rex instructed as he and the Clones were read to move out until he heard Hevy's voice speak.
"It's no use. I know what I have to do." Hevy said as he raised his minigun and fired at the droids before him.
"He's gonna go all out." Velvet said.
"Yeah, he is." Coco said with a downed looked. "At least he's fighting till the end."
"I don't like your tone, rookie." Captain Rex said as he and the clones still proceeded to help him.
The droids we're relentless as they fired at Hevy, causing him to go on the floor and take out the three in front of him. But he was then shot in the shoulder from behind, causing the Clone to turn to see more droids advancing from behind.
"Oh no!" Ruby cried out, tears in her eyes at seeing Hevy get shot at this.
"Jaune!" Pyrrha, Velvet, Yang and Saphron yelled out for the blonde clone.
"Damn!" Coco hissed in anger.
"Soldier, come in. Are you there?" Rex's voice spoke as Hevy got up and blasted at the droids while walking back. "Soldier, come in! Respond!" Rex ordered as Hevy limped back to the Ops Centre. "TALK TO US!" Rex yells out.
"Sir...is he?" Winter was almost going to ask.
"Yes, I'm afraid so." Ironwood said.
"Jaune..." Ruby watched with a sad look as she saw her friend about to fall to save his home and brothers. Definitely something he would do for.
The Clones continued to make their way back to the base to save their comrade. While back inside, Hevy made his way to the centre and proceeded to mow down the droids in front of him. But as he was firing, his gun suddenly stopped. Hevy tried to jam it back online but the droids had advanced from behind.
"There's too many!" Nora cried out with tears in her eyes.
"Come on...get out of there." Coco muttered to herself.
Hevy then tossed his gun at the nearest droid, causing it to fall to the ground. He tried to reach for the detonation device but he was shot in the back multiple times, causing him to collapse to the ground as the droids walked up to the body.
"NO!" All of Jaune's friends and family watched in horror while the adults just solemnly watched.
"Jaune…" Saphron cried as she looked down, her son and wife trying their best to comfort while also crying for this tragedy.
They looked down at Hevy who appeared to be dead.
Meanwhile, the Clones ran their way back to the station as Echo tried to reach his friend. "Hevy, come in." Come in, Hevy!" Echo tried to reach.
"Hevy, come in!" Echo called out, his voice heard by the droids. But as they were distracted by this, Hevy began to move towards the detonator.
"He's...alive." Ruby said with a spark of hope.
But Qrow saw what Hevy was about to do. "For now at least."
"Do we take prisoners?" A droid asked.
Hevy's hand reached for the console. The droids took aim at the downed clone but it was too late for them.
"Blow them to hell." Coco said in an intense voice.
"I don't." Hevy coldly stated as he pressed the button, causing massive explosion to engulf him, the droids and the entire base, effectively destroying the outpost along with him in it. The base explodes in a massive ball of fire as the landing pad breaks off from the base and falls to the depths below.
The audience looked down in solemnity as they paid their respects for the fallen clone.
"He...he saved them all." Ruby sniffed, Yang's arm wrapped around her sister.
"He did." Yang nodded. "He really did."
"He was...a true soldier." Ironwood said.
The Clones saw this and took cover to avoid the falling debris coming their way. "Hevy always did hate that place." Echo fondly stated his now fallen brother.
"He...really was a brave soldier" Glynda said in a sadden tone for her student.
"That he was." Ozpin said in agreement.
Back at the Republic Frigate, Admiral Yularen finally noticed the signal was gone. "The all-clear signal has been disabled?" Yularen said. "The Rishi base has stopped transmitting."
"Grievous." Sun said with a serious tone.
"Sound the invasion alarm." Ren ordered. "Let's get the fleet under way."
"Grievous is gonna wish he'd just run away" Nora said in a serious tone, tears still coming from her eyes.
"That he will, Nora." Ren said with the same tone. "That he will."
Back with the cyborg general, he noticed that the Rishi Outpost was now in flames, much to his anger.
"Argh! I didn't tell them to blow up the station." Grievous growled.
"But isn't it good that the base is destroyed?" A Battle Droid asked.
"Idiot!" Grievous angrily insulted.
"Suck it, cyborg bastard!" Yang cursed.
Just then, A massive Republic fleet came in from hyperspace. "The Republic fleet!" Grievous growled. "We're outgunned. Get us out of here." The cyborg ordered as they began firing at the General's fleet.
Back at the surface of the moon, the clones continue to watch the fire burn the base while Echo looks to the sky to see the droids fleeing. "We've got those tinnies on the run." Fives said with pride. "Thanks to Hevy."
"These men were indeed brave," Ghira said.
"That they are." Tai said in agreement.
Then they heard the sounds of gunships heading their direction. "Gunships." Rex said. "We're getting off this crater, boys." Rex said as two gunships lowered down to their position as they waved them down.
"Mission accomplished." Qrow said with a little sarcasm. "They really did it."
"That they did." Winter said.
"Now it's just Fives and Echo left." Ruby said sadly.
"Yes," Weiss said. "But at least they saved their home." Weiss said, making her partner feel slightly better.
The screen then changed to the Republic Fleet over the Rishi Moon. inside of the main ship, Fives and Echo were currently being rewarded for their efforts. "On behalf of the Republic, we thank you for your valiant service, and we honor your comrade's sacrifice." Ren said with respect for the Clones.
"They've definitely earned this." Ren said with a smile.
"Ditto." Sun nodded in agreement.
"Your new unit is lucky to have you." Sun said proudly as Ren gave them their medals. "I'd be proud to fight beside you anytime, anywhere." Sun said as he and Ren bowed while Fives and Echo saluted in response.
"Congratulations. You're not shinies anymore." Rex said with pride as the Jedi left.
But Echo and Fives weren't as cheerful as they hoped to be. "With all due respect, sir, we failed our mission." Echo said. "We don't deserve this honor."
"Oh come on, course they do." Coco said.
"Yeah," Velvet said in agreement. "They saved their home."
"They all fought to the end to make sure those droids don't take any more lives." Yang said. "They are definitely on their way to be ARC Troopers."
"No, if it weren't for you, the Republic wouldn't have learned of the Separatists' invasion until it was too late." Commander Cody assured the remaining Dominos.
"You showed me something today. You're exactly the kind of men I need in the 501st." Rex said with pride for the two.
"I bet they'd fit right in." Tai nodded.
"Hell yeah they would." Qrow said.
"Yeah." Ruby smiled.
"Sir, yes, sir!" Echo and Fives said in unison as they saluted to their new Captain. They turned around and moved on to their new duties as soldiers in the 501st.
"So, what did you all think?" View asked as the screen turned off.
"It was fun." Nora said in a calm tone. Then her expression became sad. "But...I'm gonna miss Hevy."
"I think...in a way, we all will." Blake said.
"He may have been a clone of Jaune….but still, he was still his own person."
"He had all of the qualities of Mr Arc." Ozpin said. "And he knew that he wasn't going to let his brothers fall."
"I just wish he didn't have to die." Ruby said sadly.
"That's often the price of war, I'm afraid." Ironwood said as the students looked towards him. "Not every man makes it out. But Hevy gave his life so that his fellow soldier would live on." Ironwood said. "That to me, sounds like a good man."
"He was." Velvet smiled.
"Yeah." Coco nodded in agreement.
"Well, I'm glad you were able to see it." View said. "Fives and Echo will honor the rest of their brothers by being brave and honorable soldiers to the 501st."
Pyrrha smiled. "They are going to do some amazing things I imagine."
"Yeah." Saphron smiled as she looked down to her son. "I bet he will." Saphron said as View left to let the audience take another break from watching the world of the Clone Wars. And how they'll remember the bravery the Domino Squad.
Thanks for reading this chapter of Worlds of Arc.
I also wanna let people know that I have finally finished watching Clone Wars. I mentioned before that me and my brother were watching the series and now we have recently finished the final season. I gotta say, one part of me really enjoyed watching it and another part of me is really sad by the fact that it's ended.
In the meanwhile we're watching Star Wars from the beginning, starting from the prequels, 1 and 2, Clone Wars, 3, Hopefully Rebels, 4,5 and 6 then Mandalorian. And hopefully we'll watch the Bad Batch when it comes out.
I also said a while ago, I was thinking of doing a Clone Wars/RWBY story of my own. And I am. It'll be about Jaune in the Clone Wars, serving as Obi-Wan's Padawan. It'll also have a few other characters from RWBY appearing alongside Jaune. Originally, I was gonna have him appear in the events of the movie alongside Ahsoka but now I'm having second thoughts. I talked with Masseffect-TxS for advice and I am gonna place it in Season 1, at least after the Clone Cadets Episode. What do you guys think?
I was also wondering what form Jaune would use exactly. I was thinking maybe he would use Form I, Shii-Cho Form III, Soresu or Form VI, Niman.
Next Chapter will be a filler, but the one after that will be another Spider-Man PS4 chapter. But I'm gonna be honest, they take a long while to do and by this point, I am willing to accept anyone who wants to help out with it so they can come a lot sooner. So if anyone wants to offer their assistance I'd be more than happy to accept it. Thanks and see you around!
