Volcasiron30: Maybe for next time.
Jss2141: Thanks.
StrongGuy159: I might do a chapter like that in the future.
NotLeviathan: She would be ticked off to say the least.
Kamenrider13489: Good idea. Don't know if it's something I can do though. But we'll see.
Calderoneric758: Soon.
Justus20: I think it would be awesome to do that one. And I wouldn't mind doing an episode from the animated series.
Luffy L Deathwalker: Thanks. But sorry, I still haven't seen most of One Piece yet.
RedMist86025949: I already have someone else in mind for Kevin.
Gamelover41592: Thanks.
Alexdel27: I'll maybe save that idea for the sequel.
Motherland: I try to update more regularly. That's fair, as I said, most people feel different towards the volume.
Reader: Possibly.
Chaotic Phoenix: I've only started playing the first game.
Straw Hat PiratesFan2023: Maybe.
Horrorfan247: Probably either Vilgax or Zs'Skayr. I haven't seen either of those unfortunately.
Venomous dragons bite: I plan on doing the Kraken next. You'll see who Kevin is soon.
JasonSkeans: Maybe Qrow.
Hashirama 1710: Not sure.
Chuck B. Winanaki: Probably the latter.
Wolfang21: I may give it a look sometime.
Kenetix: Actually, in regards to the Spider-Man chapters, they're nearly finished. Just need to add in the reactions and spell check it. Though I might ask someone for help on the reactions part.
SPARTAN-626: It's understandable. I just found it a lot more enjoyable than Vol 8.
Kitsuna G: Thanks.
Matt: I only saw a few episodes of the reboot. Didn't much impress me.

Ultrautahraptor: I have no current plans for either idea I'm afraid.
Lorhob09: Sorry, I'm not that big a fan of the series to do a chapter on them.

House of Axes: Sorry, Detroit was just a one off.
MurkScout: I haven't watched Ninjago in a long time. And I have still yet to watch My Hero.
After the break was finished, View summoned a familiar looking orb back into his head, ready to show the audience.
"And what world will this be?" Ironwood asked.
"I'd figured we could do one more viewing about the world of the Clone Wars." View said while holding its orb in his hand.
"Aw, cool!" Yang said. "It'll be cool to see Rex and Cody again. Maybe even Fives and Echo."
"Indeed." Weiss nodded in agreement. "It would be nice to see them progress to the rank of ARC Trooper."
"Unfortunately, this viewing won't be centered around those two this time." View said. "This time it'll be centered around the men in Cody's division, the 212th."
"Ah, that'll be good." Winter said.
"I guess..." Qrow muttered.
"Well then, it should be great anyway." Ruby smiled. "It'd be nice to see what the men in Cody's team are like."
"That's the spirit." View said as he threw in the orb. "Let's get started shall we?" View said as the room went dark and the screen turned on.
STAR WARS
THE CLONE WARS
"Man, feels like it always gets louder." Sun commented while poking his ear.
"I don't mind." Ruby said. "It makes it more epic!"
The costs of war can never be truly accounted for.
Ozpin bowed his head in acknowledgement of this "Something I can attest to." Ozpin equity said to himself.
"Invasion!" The announcer said as the screen showed a space battle between the Republic and the Separatists. "Separatist leader Wat Tambor has taken control of the planet Ryloth and subjugates its people through a brutal droid occupation." The screen then showed the Separatist Leader, then the people of Ryloth currently enslaved by the droid army.
Blake, Ghira, Kali, Sun, Velvet and Ilia all narrowed their eyes at the screen in anger at this.
"Bastards…" Yang cursed.
Glynda shook her head. "Such a horrible situation to be in."
"Hopefully, not for long." Ironwood said.
"In a daring surprise attack, Jedi Sun Wukong and his Padawan, Ruby Rose, defeated the space blockade guarding the planet." The screen then showed their victory on screen, showing Ruby leading a squadron of Y-Wing fighters on a bombing run.
"Nice one, little red." Coco complimented with an impressed smirk.
"My little sister saved the day!" Yang said with pride as she held her sister in a tight hug. "I'm so proud of you!"
"Ack! Yang! Need to breathe!" Ruby gasped while struggling.
"Man, I wish I could've seen that." Sun said. "I bet that would've been cool."
"Now, Jedi Generals Mace Windu and Lie Ren lead a massive invasion to liberate the starving people..."The Announcer finishes as the screen showed the inside of a hanger bay where Ren and Mace were currently in a conversation while walking to a gunship.
"I wonder what Sun and Ruby are doing." Velvet said.
"They're probably either gonna supply air support elsewhere or remain in the atmosphere until they're needed." Ozpin suggested.
"First trick will be getting our troops on the ground." Ren said as he entered the gunship with the rest of his men, the 212th Attack Battalion.
"If you take the city of Nabat first, we'll have our landing zone." Windu said.
Winter nodded in approval. "A sound strategy."
"Maybe. But I have a feeling the Separatists are gonna have their own tricks." Tai said.
"Hopefully Ren and Jaune, well, Jaune's, will be able to make it down there and save the people." Pyrrha said.
"Well, it's time to meet the natives." Ren said as he folded his arms, just as the hanger doors closed on him, ready to take off. The screen then shows a set of three Acclamator ships lowering themselves down into the planet's atmosphere.
"Alright then," Qrow sighed as he leaned. "Here comes the welcoming committee."
Meanwhile in the city of Nabat, was the legion of Battle Droids currently in control of the sector. And where their leader, a Tactical Droid, was currently in conversation with Wat Tambor.
"I'm guessing this Tambor is in charge of the Occupation of Ryloth?" Ozpin asks.
"Of sorts." View said. "The main orchestrator behind is Arthur Watts, Tambor is merely the figurehead of this invasion."
"So, basically a puppet?" Qrow asks.
"In simple terms, yes." View confirmed.
"You must not allow the clones to reach the surface." Tambor said in a gravelly serious tone.
"Our new proton cannons are in the optimum position to prevent that, sir." The Tactical Droid assured his leader.
"Proton cannons?" Yang repeated.
"I'd be freaking out if I knew these aren't being used to hurt people." Ruby said.
"What–" Tambor was about to say until his voice became garbled and distorted, adjusting the nozzles on his chest to adjust his voice. "What if they focus the attack on your cannon?"
"Man, he sure does talk weird." Sun commented.
"Sounded like a busted radio." Blake said.
The Tactical Droid stood up. "I am utilizing the prisoners from this village as living shields." The Droid gestured to the enslaved Twi'leks being watched over by the Battle Droids. "I calculate the Jedi will not risk the prisoners' safety with a direct assault."
"A coward's strategy." Pyrrha said as she glared at the screen.
"One often used in our world, I'm afraid." Ozpin said, recounting times where Bandits or criminals would often use people as bait.
"Hopefully, Jaune will be able to save them." Saphron said as she held onto Adrian.
Meanwhile, back with the Acclamators, a unit of LAAT Gunships flew out of the vessel and flew towards the direction of the city. Inside of the Gunship, Ren was addressing the rest of the Clones.
"We need to remember why we're here. We came to aid the Twi'leks, not destroy their home." Ren reminded his men as he turned to his Commander. "Cody?" Ren gestured, letting him take over.
"That means we'll be taking it back the hard way. Minimal destruction with blasters and droid poppers only." Cody instructed. "No rockets or detonators. Check your aim. Keep an eye out for the locals. Am I understood?"
"A good strategy." Ironwood said. "Less chance of causing destruction."
"Least none of the tin heads already did." Qrow remarks.
"Sir, yes, sir!" All the Clones said in unison.
One of the Clones, Boil, sighed in annoyance. "If we're here to free the tail-heads, the least they can do is get out of our way." Boil harshly says as he checks his weapon.
Team RWBY and JNPR frowned at the Clone of Jaune being so inconsiderate of the people in need.
"Tail heads?" Blake repeated with a frown at the name.
"I guess that all Clones can be nice or like Jaune." Ruby frowned in disappointment.
"Well, hopefully he has qualities and traits the rest of the Clones and Jaune has." Pyrrha said.
"He's bound to." Saphron said, not liking the sound of her little brother sound so harsh and uncaring.
The screen changed back to the capital, where a droid turned to its leader. "Sir, the enemy is in range." The droid informed.
"Fire at will." The Tactical Droid ordered.
The Proton cannons primed themselves as they pointed up in the skies and proceeded to open fire, causing the nearby Twi'lek slaves to wince in pain over the sheer intensity of the sounds as they ducked their heads.
"At least they're not caught in the crossfire." Velvet said, feeling great sympathy for the Twi'leks.
"Yeah, but I wouldn't exactly call them safe for the most part,Bun-Bun." Coco said.
The Cannons keep firing at the Republic frigates, managing to hit one of them as inside one of the ships, Windu and his Commander, Ponds, were reeling from the shots.
"General, the enemy fire is penetrating our shields." Ponds informs.
Looking at the falling ship, Windu turned back to Ponds with a steely look. "Get me Ren."
Back in the Gunship, Ren was currently receiving a holo call from Windu. "We can't risk landing the larger transports until you take out those guns."
"Hopefully they can do that without getting blasted down." Sun said.
"They would have to land down safely." Penny said. "While also dealing with potential encounters from the droids."
Yang shrugs." "Still beats getting blasted down."
"Pull back. We'll take care of it." Ren assured as the call turned off.
The Gunships carefully navigated themselves through the cannon fire, with one of the gunships shot and crashed into another one behind it.
"Who's up for a challenge?" Ren asked his men. "We're not getting any reinforcements until those guns are out of commission."
"Here we go again." Waxer rolled his head to his comrade.
Yang gave a toothy grin. "So I guess this is where the fun begins, eh?"
"You certainly have a strange definition of fun, Yang." Weiss said.
"Hey, if it works." Coco shrugs.
The Gunships continued to travel towards the city as more ships were getting shot down.
Back at the capitol, a droid turned to the Tactical Droid. "Commander, the Republic transports have turned away, but the gunships are still heading toward us."
The Tactical Droid brought his hands together. "Just as I calculated."
"I have a bad feeling about this." Ruby said with worry.
"I think we all do, Ruby." Blake said in agreement.
The Gunships lowered themselves down closer to the ground as the doors opened up, Ren and Cody looking down to see the wildlife feasting before fleeing away from the gunships as they landed on the ground. Ren and the Clone Troopers came running out of the Gunship and moved towards the trees as they ran towards the direction of the city.
Meanwhile, inside of the capital, droids were patrolling around as multiple Proton Cannons were stationed inside of the area, along with the Twi'lek slaves.
The Tactical Droid turned to its subordinate. "Prepare for their ground assault."
The screen then changed to a ruined wall where a Separatist patrol was stationed. "I think I see movement in the trees." One of the droids, who was mourning a turrent, pointed out at the ground below.
"Fire, fire!" The Droid calls out as they proceed to open fire on the Clones coming towards them.
The Clones quickly returned fire at the droids while taking cover behind the trees. Cody yelled out to the rest of his men. "Come on, then, let's go! Go, go, go!"
"That wall looks heavily fortified." Pyrrha observed.
Ren nodded in agreement with his teammate. "They're gonna need something to take them out without causing too much damage."
"Like the Droids haven't done enough." Blake said in a serious tone.
Ren charged in with his Lightsaber, blocking and deflecting the blaster fire as the droids pressed on against them. Ren got behind a tree with cover next to Cody.
"That bunker is going to be a problem, General." Cody said.
"Man, a rocket launcher could've been really useful." Sun said.
"But not practical." Weiss sternly said. "It's as Ren and Cody said, minimal destruction."
"Leave the bunker to me. Bring in your troopers on my signal." Ren orders as he turns to Waxer and Boil. "You two wanted action. Follow me."
Boil nodded. "You heard him, Waxer." Boil said to his brother in arms.
"Alright, let's see what they're made of." Qrow said.
The droids kept firing as Lie Ren moved up behind a pair of rocks with Waxer and Boil behind him providing cover fire. Ren looked up to see the turret positioned just nearby. "Let's take them out. Now!"
Waxer then threw a droid popper towards their location, the throw wasn't long enough to reach them as it set off.
"Damn," Yang cursed. "Nearly had it."
"We've gotta get closer to the wall!" Waxer said.
"Try again. I'll give you some help." Ren encouraged.
Waxer pulled out a second droid popper and threw it over, Ren using the force this time to help guid the grenade in the direction of the droids, landing right behind them.
The droids looked at it in confusion before it set off, causing the droids to zap them with electricity before promptly shutting down.
"Yeah!" Ruby pumped her fist up in excitement.
"One down, one to go." Coco grinned.
"Man those things are really useful." Tai commented.
"Quite," Glynda said. "Should make taking the capital an easier task."
"That is if they don't run into any unexpected outcomes." IRonwood said.
Boil tossed a popper towards the left tower as Ren helped guide it closer, hitting one of the droids in the face before setting off and shutting down those droids too.
"Ghost Company. Let's move." Commander Cody ordered as he and his men moved from their cover and headed towards the wall.
"Hmm, Ghost Company." Winter hummed in interest. "A fitting name."
"Yeah, with the bright orange, they're practically out of sight." Qrow remarked, receiving a glare from Winter.
Back at the capital, one of the droids went up to the Tactical Droid. "Sir, I've lost contact with our outer defenses."
"The Republic troops have overrun the village perimeter. The Tactical Droid realized. "Find out how the Jedi plan to attack."
"Roger, roger." The Battle Droid complied.
Back with the 212th, they had managed to make it on the other side of the wall. Ren looked over the village until Cody approached him, giving off a salute.
"The wall is secure, sir." Cody informs. "Are we moving on to the guns?"
Ren held his chin in thought. "We need to know what the droids have in store for us. Send your best men to scout ahead."
Cody saluted in response. "Will do, sir." Cody said as he turned the two Clones on his right. "Boil, Waxer, come with me."
"I guess we're the best." Boil said as he joined Cody and Ren.
"It'd be nice to see more of Waxer and Boil and see what they're like." Ruby smiled.
"Hopefully, we'll see if Boil does have redeeming qualities." Ghira said, folding his arms.
"I'm sure he does." Saphron says. "I mean, he is based on Jaune."
View gave a slight cough at this.
Back over at the capital, the droids had activated a button, which launched probe droids up into the air before flying their way out of the capital to find Ren or his Clones.
"Ah crap." Coco grumbled.
"Something tells me that's gonna be a problem." Sun commented.
"Gee, ya think?" Ilia said with dry sarcasm in her tone.
Meanwhile, Cody, Waxer, Boil and Wooley were currently walking through an empty and ruined street.
"Buildings are just buildings." Cody said as he looked around the area. "What really makes a city are the inhabitants that live in it."
Ozpin nodded in agreement. "Indeed. Just as my counterpart said before back in the Asgard world."
"Hopefully they'll be enough people to rebuild." Glynda said.
"So where are they?" Boil asked.
They kepting walking until Cody suddenly raises his hand up, prompting them to stop in their tracks as he turns to address his men. "We'll check out the courtyard. "You two, take the south sector. Be back at command by 06:20."
"Covering more ground." Ironwood nodded.
"That way, they'll have a better chance of finding the Twi'leks." Winter said.
"Yes, sir." Boil said as he and Waxer turned in the south direction.
Some time later, Waxer and Boil continued their patrol through the empty streets.
"I tell you, Boil, this is creepy." Waxer commented on the state of the place. "You think they killed all of them?"
"Well, there are no bodies." Boil shrugged.
"It's a good thing we saw that there were some survivors." Ruby said with a slightly optimistic tone.
"Yeah…But with a village this big, there should be more." Blake said in a serious tone.
"They were driven from their homes. I don't think they had a–" Waxer said until he heard a sound nearby, prompting him to raise his blaster up.
"Had a what?" Boil asked.
Waxer sighs as he relaxes. "Choice." Waxer finished as the two continued their patrol.
"What was that?" Velvet asked with a slightly worried look.
"Not sure." Sun said.
"Could it be the probe droid?" Pyrrha asked.
"Maybe." Ren said. "But I have a feeling it's something else. Not sure what it is exactly."
Meanwhile, Cody and Wooley were currently hiding behind some cover as in front of them was a massive unit of Battle Droids, alongside a Separatist AAT.
"Well, this sure complicates things." Yang remarks.
"Still think maybe bringing in one bazooka could've helped." Nora said.
"Not going to be easy getting to those guns, sir." Wooley whispered.
"There is always a way, Wooley." Cody said as he used his binoculars to scout around the area. He then spotted something in the center. "Wait, Twi'leks." Cody said as he zoomed in to see a group of prisoners being held hostage.
"They're holding all the survivors hostage." Cody said as more were added to the group. "We have to report this to General Ren."
"Maybe they could sneak around them?" Ruby suggested.
"They'd have to wait till night time, Ruby." Blake said. "And I doubt they have that time for that. Those cannons have to be taken down quickly."
Meanwhile, the probe droid that was sent by the Separatists was currently floating through the ruined area, until eventually making its way to the top of a ruined building, landing on the top as it sneakily looks down to see a meeting with Ren, Cody and Master Windu, in hologram, looking over a hologram map.
"Aw crap." Sun muttered. "Now they know where they are."
"And what's worse is that they're gonna be aware of their plan." Weiss added.
"Found the guns. They're in the courtyard here and here." Cody informs as he pointed to their locations on the map."But there's a complication. They've taken the locals hostage, and they're using them as shields." Cody said as they were unknowingly being watched by the probe.
"The Twi'lek prisoners will make this difficult but not impossible." Ren mused. "I still have a good plan for taking out those guns."
"Hopefully it won't be foiled by that droid." Weiss said.
"Considering how far that Tactical Droid is willing to go, I have my doubts, sister." Winter said.
Their conversation was currently being watched by the Tactical Droid through the eyes of the probe droid watching them.
"Getting the villagers out of harm's way is our first priority. I have faith in you, General Ren." Windu spoke on the other side of the communication.
"Cody, we'll go in with everything we have. Clear those hostages." Ren said as Cody nodded and immediately went to gather the rest of his men.
"So it's General Ren who is leading this assault." The Droid said with interest in his tone. "He is known for his deceptive maneuvers."
"Eh, he's not wrong there." Yang shrugs, remembering how he tricked that one Separatists General.
"Roger, roger." The Droid next to him said. "Download his file."
Back with Waxer and Boil, they were still in the middle of their patrol, until the sounds of stones clattering nearby caught their attention, causing them to take cover nearby an ally.
"So, we now know it wasn't the probe. So what could it be?" Saphron asked.
"Perhaps an infiltrator the Separatists may have hired." Penny suggested.
"Or maybe it's those Commando droids." Tai said. "Sent to wipe out any intruders."
"Whatever it is, I'm sure those two Jaunes will be able to handle it." Ironwood said.
Sending a nod to each other, Waxer and Boil quickly rush into the alley…only to find a little girl hiding behind some boxes in fear.
"Oh no…" Ruby's eyes widened in sadness at the sight of the small child.
"You were saying…" Qrow quietly remarked to Tai, earning him a smack on the shoulder by Glynda as she looked at the girl with sympathy.
Kali brought her hand up as her eyes widened. "Oh dear…"
"Poor little kid." Tai sighed.
Nora and Ren looked at the child with sympathetic expressions, reminding them of their youth of when they were orphans.
"Ah, it's just a little girl." Boil groans in annoyance, lowering his weapon.
"Well, what are we going to do with her?" Waxer asked, uncertain of how to handle this situation.
"Best thing to do is to take her back with Ren, Cody and the others." Pyrrha said.
"I'm not too sure about that." Coco said. "The tin heads have their location."
"Much safer with them than where she is now." Ilia said.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why do we have to do anything?" Boil asks as the girl cowers. "We've got a mission to finish."
"What!?" Yang exclaimed in shock, her eyes briefly flickering to red.
"Dude, come on, don't be a dick." Sun said. "She's scared."
"We should do something." Waxer insisted, standing up. "I say we take her with us."
"At least someone isn't being heartless." Blake commented, feeling grateful that at least Waxer was trying to help her.
You can't be serious." Boil said in disbelief. "She'll only slow us down." Boil said as he looked at the girl, who quickly hid behind the boxes.
"She's just a child." Tai chastised.
Winter nodded in agreement. "Indeed. Regardless of the mission, innocent lives shouldn't be forgotten."
"Look, she's afraid of us." Boil said as a probe droid floated down in the streets behind them.
Waxer turned to see the droid. "Not us." Waxer said. "Quick, hide!" He said as he and Boil immediately got behind cover as the probe droid flew past them.
"That was a close one." Ruby breathed out.
"Too close." Weiss said.
"That was a recon unit. We'd better get moving." Boil said.
"We can't leave her here." Waxer said, gesturing to the girl.
Boil sighs in annoyance. "Fine, we'll take her." Boil said as he approached the girl.
"Uh, I wouldn't do that." Tai advises. "Kids are known to bite."
"And claw, scratch, basically anything that hurts like hell." Qrow said.
"Be careful." Waxer advises.
"Don't worry, Waxer. I don't think she's armed." Boil said as he reached his hand out, only for the girl to bite his finger.
"Ow!" Boil grunted as he pulled his hand back. "The little tail-head bit me!" Boil said as the girl hid behind the boxes.
Sun winced. "Ooh! that's gotta sting."
"Yeah, but they're armed in a different way." Tai said, remembering the times when Yang or Ruby would pull that trick.
"Stop, stop. You're scaring her." Waxer said as he pulled his partner back. "She probably thinks we're droids." Waxer said as he raises his arms up and gently lowers his blaster to the ground.
He then proceeded to remove his helmet, showing his face to the little girl. "It's all right. See, I'm flesh and blood, just like you." Waxer assures.
"She looks half starved." Boil commented. He then pulled a food bar from his belt. "Here." Boil said, handing Waxer the food as he gestures it to the girl.
"At least he has some compassion." Ruby said.
"Yeah." Saphron says in agreement. "Maybe he's not bad as he leads on."
"I hope so, honey." Terra said, holding her wife's hand.
The Twi'lek looks at the food suspiciously, sniffing it before taking it from Waxer's hand and eating it as Boil places his weapon down and removes his helmet.
"I wonder what happened to her parents." Penny said with a sad look,
"Maybe they're with the others at the capital." Velvet suggested/
"I'm just thankful she managed to get out safely." Pyrrha said.
"And it's a good thing she was found by Waxer and Boil and not the droids." Glynda said.
The girl looked towards Waxer and Boil with a intrigued look, pointing at both of them. "Nerra. Nerra." The girl spoke in her native language.
"No, I'm Waxer." Waxer repeated gently. "He's Boil."
"Nerra, Nerra." The girl repeated.
"Hmm, it must mean something in their language." Penny hummed with a thoughtful expression.
"Oh, you made a friend. Mission accomplished." Boil said with a false tone of care as he put his helmet back on. "Can we go now?" Boil sighed as he picked his weapon up and headed out of the ally.
"But what about the girl?" Ruby asked.
"Waxer seems capable enough to look after her." Weiss said.
Waxer placed his helmet on too and stood up. "Come on, kid." Waxer said, but the girl didn't move, still eating her bar. "Come on."
"Look, she doesn't Even want to go. Little monster was fine before we came along, so let's move." Boil said as he walked away, Waxer sent a worried look to the girl before reluctantly joining his brother.
Blake frowned once more at Boil's uncaring attitude. "I wouldn't exactly call starving and hiding in alleyways fine."
The girl whines as the Clones left, unsure of what to do before quickly deciding to follow them for safety.
Back at the capital, the Tactical Droid was heading towards the cells for his latest plan, while walking by the Twi'lek prisoners who either looked down in despair or gave him hateful glares.
"These poor people." Kali said with sympathy.
"I hope that droid gets what's coming to him." Sun said with a glare.
"For once, we agree." Ghira said,
The Tactical Droid walked down some stairs to where a droid was tending to some of the wildlife who were locked up and growling.
"Yeesh," Coco winced. "Those are some mean looking creatures."
"I'd hate to be on the other end of them." Velvet said while looking at the creatures, unnerved.
"Sergeant, are the creatures ready?" The Tactical Droid asked.
"I starved them, like you ordered, sir." The Droid said as the creature roared at him. "Uh, are you sure they will not attack us?" The droid nervously asked.
The Tactical Droid brought his hands together. "I need a test to verify my theory." He said as he pressed a button nearby.
The Battle Droid took a step back. "Uh, sir. What are you doing?" The Droid asked as the cells behind him started to open and he backed up against one of the creatures. "Oh no." He muttered before being pounced on by the creature.
The creature swung the droid around in its mouth as he yelled out. "Ow! Not my motivator!" The Droid groans before the creature spits him out to the ground.
"Gotta say, I kind of feel bad for these guys sometimes." Yang said as she watched the droid get tossed around.
Weiss raises a brow. "Even though they're subjugating people?"
"I said sometimes." Yang reminded. "Other times, they get what they deserve."
"As I calculated, the creatures require organic meat." The Tactical Droid theorized.
"Well that's a relief." The slobbered Battle Droid remarked.
"It will not be for the clones." The Tactical Droid said with a layer of menace in his tone. "They will provide a most generous supply" He said as the creatures were shocked back into their cages.
"Ah great." Qrow mutters. "And just when things were going well."
"Hopefully they'll be able to counter them when the time comes." Ozpin calmly said.
"I hope so, Oz." Ironwood said.
Meanwhile, Waxer and Boil were continuing their patrol through the empty streets, all the while the little girl was still following after them, keeping out of sight.
Ruby couldn't help but smile. "At least she's able to have fun around them."
Pyrrha nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's a good thing they found her when they did."
Waxer turned around to see her, as she quickly got behind cover out of sight. "I wonder what happened to her family." Waxer said in a sympathetic tone.
"Maybe they're with the other Twi'Leks?" Ruby suggested.
"Possibly." Weiss said, though she herself was unsure.
"They're probably dead." Boil bluntly said. "Hopefully, she'll survive this mess."
Waxer sent another look towards the girl, who hid behind a corner, peeking. He turns to Boil. "So what happens to her? I mean, after we leave."
"I can't imagine she's gonna lead the same life as she did before." Glynda said. "The damage done by the Separatists will definitely leave an impact on this world."
"I don't know." Boil shrugs before noticing Waxer looking back. "Ah, don't get any ideas. We're not taking her with us."
Waxer looked around behind him, but found that the girl was gone, nowhere to be seen.
"She's gone." Waxer said in disbelief.
"You don't think she was captured?" Saphron said with worry.
"I'm sure the little biter will turn up." Boil said as when Waxer turned back around, he saw the little girl standing right in front of him.
Waxer chuckles. "Hey. There you are." Waxer said as he knelt down and bopped the girl on the nose, causing her to laugh.
"Oh, thank goodness" Kali sighed in relief. "I was worried for a moment there."
"How'd she get in front of us?" Boil questions.
"Hey, kids are just naturally fast." Tai shrugs. "Ruby especially."
"Nerra, Nerra!" The girl said, pulling on Waxer's blaster and pointing in the direction behind her before running towards it.
"No, don't go that way!" Waxer calls out as the girl continues to run. "That's where the recon droid went."
"Where could she be going?" Pyrrha asked as she looked at the girl with worry.
"Must be important to her." Nora said with a sympathetic look, hoping for Waxer and Boil to chase after her.
"Waxer, let her go." Boil said.
"I'm not just going to let the droids get her." Waxer said before running after the girl.
"I'm just trying to keep you alive!" Boil exclaims as he runs after Waxer. "I'll be darned if I know why." Boil mutters to himself.
"While it is important to stand by your fellow soldier, it is also important to help and defend the people you're fighting for." Winter said.
"Yeah, and some kids might not be as lucky." Nora said in a serious tone as she hung her head down, with Ren putting an arm around her in comfort while Pyrrha placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
The girl continued to run, going under a rock as she hurriedly headed to where she was headed to, with Waxer and Boil chasing after her.
"Where's she going?" Boil asks.
The girl eventually hid behind a pillar as she peaked her head out, giggling to herself as the Clones caught up with her before running again.
"Wait! Hold on, there!" Waxer calls out as he and Boil run after her again.
Waxer eventually manages to catch up with the girl, who for some reason, suddenly stopped running.
"Hey, there you are." Waxer sighs in relief, patting her head.
"Good thing they caught-up with her." Yang said. "Who knows what trouble she could've ran into."
"Yeah, but the question is, where did she lead them to." Ren said.
Boil manages to catch up as well. "Good, you caught her." Boil sighs. "You know, I have binders if we need them." Boil offered, getting a look from Waxer in response. "What?"
"Dude, really?" Sun said with a look of disapproval.
The girl had a sad look on her face as she looked up at Waxer, holding his hand for comfort as she pointed at the house in front of them as she walked them towards it.
"What are we doing here, anyway?" Boil irritably asks.
"Do you guys think…?" Ruby hesitantly asks.
"I mean, it would make sense." Weiss says.
Penny tilted her head. "What is it?"
"I believe you're about to see, Penny." Winter said in a soft tone.
The girl slowly entered the house with Waxer and Boil following her inside to see that the house had been wrecked and left in a ruined state.
Kali brought her hands up to her mouth. "Oh, the poor thing."
"She was lucky to survive." Ironwood said with a somber tone.
"I don't think she feels that way, Jimmy." Qrow said.
Ilia winced as she turned her head away. The ruined home reminds her too much of her fellow Faunus and how they've been treated.
Placing their weapons down, Boil sat down on some nearby rubble as he and Waxer removed their helmets. "I guess this was her home. Poor little thing." Waxer said, turning to the girl who was looking up at a hole in the ceiling. "She lost it all."
Waxer looked down on the floor to see a plush doll. Placing his helmet down, Waxer picked up the doll, and after giving a quick dust up, Waxer approached the girl and presented her the doll.
The girl took the doll from Waxer as she then began to cry her eyes out, clutching onto the doll as Waxer looked at her with a sympathetic look.
Nora hung her head down as tears began to spill from her eyes. Seeing the girl's anguish reminded her of her own time she spent as an orphan, and how alone she was.
She suddenly felt the presence of an arm wrapping around her shoulder, causing her to look up to see the comforting face of her partner, Ren looking back at her. Nora smiled back at Ren as she leaned into him for comfort, Pyrrha offering a comforting hand on her shoulder in support.
"Thanks guys.." Nora quietly said.
The girls of Team RWBY looked at Nora with worried and sympathetic looks, clearly what was happening to the girl, might've happened to Nora too.
Waxer kneeled down in front of her. "It's okay now. We're here to help." Waxer assured. The girl wiped her tears as she rushed in to hug Waxer, taking the Clone back briefly before hugging her back.
The audience smiled warmly at the interaction the girl and Waxer-Jaune shared.
Velvet wiped away a few tears and smiled. "Good on you, Jaune."
Nora smiled with tears in her eyes, making her very thankful that this version of her fearless leader, her brother, was there to care for that girl.6
"Just like Jaune." Pyrrha said with a proud face.
Boil watched as he stood up from his spot and walked over to them and kneeling down. "Don't cry, kid. We'll keep you safe. I- I promise." Boil said, sincerely.
The girl then rushed in to hug Boil, taking him by surprise before awkwardly patting her in response.
Tai smirked. "I guess there is a soft side to him after all."
"Took him long enough," Coco jokingly remarked.
Back over at the Republic camp site, Ren walked over to Commander Cody, who was currently on his comlink. "The men set, Cody?" Ren asked, noticing his Commander's look of concern. "What is it?"
"Waxer and Boil are not responding." Cody said as the probe droid from above continued to watch. "They never returned from scouting."
"That isn't like them." Ren said. "They may have run into trouble."
"Well, I wouldn't exactly describe it as trouble." Ruby says.
"Unless it's the biting kind." Sun commented.
Cody turned to one of his men. "Sergeant, use the high-powered transmitter to see if you can reach Waxer and Boil."
"Yes, sir!" The Clone said at attention.
"Let's get the rest of the men moving. The others will catch up." Ren said as the probe droid continued to observe them.
Back over at the capital, The Tactical Droid was watching this with vested interest. "They are on the move." He said as he contacted his subordinate. "Sergeant, the attack is coming. Release the beasts. It is time to execute my plan."
"Oh no..." Ruby said with worry.
"This is not good." Penny said with a nervous expression.
"No, it is not." Winter said with a serious expression.
The droid nodded and complied. "Roger, roger." He said as he pressed a button near him, causing the cages to open up and the creatures to roar in fury, being zapped with electric prods for good measure as they ran off away from the Droids in search for food.
"That sure is a lot of them." Terra said while holding a scared Adrian.
"But the Clones outnumber them. And Ren's a Jedi." Ruby pointed out. "They should be able to take them out."
"That may be, but remember, Miss Rose, these creatures have been starved to the point of being feral, I imagine their ferocity and savagery outweighs their numbers." Ozpin sagely says.
"Aw crud..." Yang mutters.
Back with Waxer and Boil, they suddenly noticed that their com links were going off.
"It's the Commander!" Boil exclaims, standing up. "We're way overdue, Waxer. We're going to end up polishing R2 units!" Boil said as he went to answer.
"Buddy, with what we've just seen, that's the least of your problems right now." Qrow said.
But Waxer stopped him from answering "Wait. How are we going to explain all this, her?" Waxer asked, gesturing to the girl.
"You're asking me?" Boil said with a raised brow.
"I'm sure they understand if you just explain it to them." Weiss said.
"I doubt it's that simple, Weiss." Blake said.
"I don't see why not." Yang said.
"I think maybe they have different standards and protocols." Pyrrha suggested.
"Maybe if we hurry back, we can tell them we ran into a little trouble." Waxer suggested.
"Oh, that's for sure." Boil remarks while grabbing his equipment.
"And our transmissions were jammed by the droids." Waxer added.
It's worth a try." Boil muttered as he and Waxer headed towards the door. "But mark my words, this will end badly."
"More than you know right now, I'm afraid." Ozpin said as he watched the screen in anticipation.
The three exited out of the ruined home, only for them to hear sounds in the distance, prompting Boil to raise his hand, halting them as the girl hid behind Waxer.
"Gutkurr, gutkurr!" The girl cried out in fear.
Boil slowly turned his head to the sounds of creatures growling nearby, coming out of a corner as it roared at them, causing Waxer and Boil to raise their arms and the girl to run back inside.
"Oh crap..." Sun said.
"I think I know why the kid never came back here." Boil muttered in dread.
"That would do it." Tai said as he watched intensely.
"Get out of there, Jaunes..." Ruby said with worry.
The two creatures snarl as it begins to come towards them, prompting Boil to fire at them. "You see what happens when we don't follow orders?" Boil grunts as he backs away from the creatures.
"Probably not the time!" Blake said.
"Let's get out of here." Waxer said as he and Boil retreated back inside the house as the creatures charged after them.
Waxer and Boil quickly closed the door on them in time, but the creature persisted as it kept ramming its head onto the door as Waxer and Boil tried their best to keep it shut.
"These suckers won't give up!" Boil remarks while keeping his grip tight.
"They're trapped!" Nora shouted.
"There has to be a way out." Pyrrha said hastily.
"I mean, there's a hole in the ceiling." Weiss pointed out. "But the creatures can get through that!
"You grab the gun, and I'll hold 'em back." Waxer said.
Boil nodded as he quickly grabbed his gun off the floor as Waxer opened to let Boil fire a few blaster shots onto it.
Waxer quickly shuts the door again just as the creature shook its head in pain before letting out a roar. It began ramming its head again, giving it more power to its ramming as it attempted to break it.
"They're almost indestructible!" Ironwood said.
"It's gonna take a lot to bring them down." Ghira said in a serious tone.
While the Clones continued blocking the doors, the girl then spotted something nearby and ran towards it. She went to a spot on the ground and after moving a rock nearby, she lifted up what appeared to be a service hatch.
"It's an escape!" Ruby called out in both excitement and relief.
"Nice find!" Nora complimented.
"Oh thank goodness." Kali breathed.
"They're not out just yet." Glynda reminded.
Boil and Waxer gestured to each as they ran from the door and to the hatch, just as the second creature managed to get through the hole in the ceiling. Boil let off a few rounds at the creature as Waxer helped the girl escape.
The creature landed in the room and roared at the Clone, after letting off a few more rounds at it, Boil and Waxer quickly made their escape through the hatch.
"Man, that was a close one." Sun sighed in relief.
"Quite." Ozpin nodded. "But I have a feeling it's not quite over just yet."
Meanwhile, Ren, Cody and the rest of their forces continued to make their way in the direction of the Capital. But suddenly, a stampede of those alien beasts came charging in after them as Ren sensed their presence. A few Clones in front were caught in the middle of their rush, with one being knocked over.
"Oh come on!" Yang exclaimed.
"Yeah, things like these aren't usually easy, kiddo." Tai sighed.
"Believe me, we know." Blake said.
"They're not stopping! Aim for their eyes!" One Clone cried out as he and another Clone tried to shoot the creatures down.
"Look out; look out! Fall back!" Another Clone yelled out as he and the others fell back away from them.
Back at the capital, the Tactical Droid was informing Wat Tambor of his progress. "The Republic ground troops have been routed, Emir." The Droid explains as an explosion occurred nearby.
"What was that?" Tambor questions.
"I calculate the remaining clones are attempting a desperate final offensive." The Tactical Droid theorized. "Their chances of success against us are 742 to 1."
"You had better be right." Tambor said with a serious tone.
"I am a droid. I am always right." He says with an under layer of arrogance as the call went off.
Qrow scoffs at the boastful claim. "Yeah, I'll take instinct over some machine calculations and numbers any day."
Penny pouted as Ruby placed a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, at least you're a lot nicer and cooler than those droids." Ruby complimented, making the android girl smile brightly in response.
Back with the Clones, they were struggling against the beasts as one of them was knocked to them ground was being snarled at by one of them, only for another Clone to save him in the nick of time by shooting at it, causing its attention being drawn away as another Clone was suddenly rammed into by one of the creatures as his body was being feasted on by them.
"Savage monsters..." Weiss harshly says while watching the sight with a horrified expression.
Saphron winced at the sight as she and Terra shielded their son from the sight, not it didn't sit with the older Arc to see a version of her brother meet a grizzly fate, even if he was a Clone.
The Clones were being pushed back away from the creatures as Ren jumped over one that was trying to charge him.
Ren looked around and saw that one of the creatures was getting near one of the Clones who backed away from it. Putting his Lightsaber aside, Ren raised his arm up and began to use his connection with the force to commune with the creatures, causing it to cease away from the Clone.
"Whew, that was close." Velvet sighed in relief.
"Yeah, but I wonder what he's planning." Coco said.
Ren himself was also curious as he watched his counterpart intensely.
Ren began using the force on all of the creatures as they ceased their attack and began walking towards Master Ren in a hypnotized state.
One of the Clones raised his blaster up, only for Cody to stop him. "No, wait." Cody said as he let the General continue what he was doing.
"I see what he's doing." Weiss quietly says. "He's leading them into a trap."
"Good move." Winter complimented. "Cutting them off from the rest of the Clones."
"That's my Renny!" Nora sang with pride as she clutched onto her partner's shoulder, very tightly.
Ren began backing away into a nearby alleyway as the creatures followed him in, right above them was a bridge.
"Incredible." One of the Clones said in awe.
"Quiet, rookie." Cody sternly said.
"Hey, he's not wrong." Yang said in agreement.
"Shoot the bridge!" Ren orders while keeping his hold on the creatures.
Cody pointed at the bridge as the Clones proceeded to open fire upon it, causing it to collapse behind the beasts as they turned around to see what was going on.
Ren struggled just as one of the beasts came charging at him, causing Ren to dodge as it rammed straight into a wall, jumping over and another one charging at him.
"Come on, come on..." Nora quietly said, her grip on Ren tightening.
Ren winced slightly, but chose not to say anything.
Ren dodged rolled another creature's rush attack, then jumped over another before running on the backs of the creatures before performing a massive leap over to the other side, reuniting with his men. Ren stood up as Cody handed him back his Lightsaber.
"Another close one." Ruby sighed.
"Uh, Nora," Ren spoke out, causing Nora to look up. "My arm."
"Just give me a few minutes, Ren." Nora said, still holding on.
Ren sighed and let her hold onto him, smiling at her.
But before they could continue, they heard the sounds of metal clanging nearby, causing Ren to reignite his saber and the Clones to raise their blasters up at a manhole cover struggling to open. Sensing the presence, Ren lowered Cody's blaster down. "Don't shoot." Ren said as he deactivated his Lightsaber.
The manhole cover was pushed open, revealing Waxer and Boil as they climbed out of it, stood at attention and saluted their Commander.
"Better late than never." Qrow smirked.
"Waxer, Boil. Where have you two slackers been?" Cody demands in a commanding tone.
"Sir, there is an explanation." Boil said.
"We got sidetracked." Waxer said as he looked down to the little girl who hid behind Boil.
"It's one for it." Weiss said.
"The other is adorable." Ruby added.
Ren smiled in amusement. "I think I see what sidetracked you."
Back at the capital, the Droid came up to the Tactical Droid. "The Clones have defeated the creatures."
"Yeah! How do you like that, rustbucket!?" Nora boasted.
"Miss Valkyrie, inside voice, please." Glynda sternly said.
"Yes, but their numbers are thin. Prepare for their final attack." He ordered.
Back with the Clones, Ren kneeled down to face the girl. "Hello, little one." Ren greeted warmly as the girl gasped and hid her face.
"She brought us here through the tunnels. Knows her way around them pretty good, sir." Waxer explains.
Ren turned to the girl. "Loonala kwee jannweelo?" Ren asked in her native language, pointing to his right.
"Uh, Ren seems to know her language." Pyrrha said, impressed.
"Ooh yana-yana." The girl nodded in response. "Wah Nerra. Kumee Nerra."
"The girl can lead us through the tunnel to the prisoners." Ren informs. "Cody, we're going to need a diversion."
"Oh yeah!" Yang grinned in excitement. "Time for a little prison break!"
Afterward, Cody and the remainder of his forces were sneaking by where they were when they reported the patrol, after checking the coast was clear, Cody and the Clones quickly snuck past the Droid Patrol.
Meanwhile in the cells, a droid was currently scrubbing the floors, unaware of the presence of Jedi nearby. "Yup, this is about the worst job in the droid army." The Droid complains when he suddenly hears the sounds of a Lightsaber humming nearby.
"Uh, uh, what?" The droid says as he looks up to see Ren holding the girl in his arm while standing in the remains of the other droids.
"Oh yeah, you're in trouble now!" Nora grinned, it also made her heart swoon slightly to see Ren holding a child like a father.
"And it just went into overtime." The Droid commented in despair.
Instead of dismantling it like the others, Ren instead just activated the cell door's but with the force, causing the door to close in on him.
"What? Oh, oh." The Droid mutters, rather disappointingly as Ren walks past him as Waxer and Boil follow after Ren.
"Hey, it's better than being slashed apart by a Lightsaber." Yang shrugged.
"Oddly nice of Ren not to slash him up." Sun said.
"I guess he was miserable enough." Coco shrugged.
The girl pointed up at the staircase in front of them. "Bin-bin-kooneena." The girl said.
"I'll take care of this. You keep her here." Ren said as he handed her over to Waxer and he ran up the stairs. Ren peaked his head up to see the Twi'lek prisoners being watched over by the Battle Droids.
Back with Cody, he moved up ahead so that he and his men got close enough to the Droid patrol near the prisoners.
Ren gestured to Waxer and Boil to move up with him, and after a shushing gesture from Waxer, he and Boil ran up the stairs to join their general. The trio quickly snuck their way towards a nearby statue where the prisoners were just nearby.
"So far, so good." Tai said.
"Hey, let's not jinx it or anything." Qrow quietly said to Tai.
Cody spotted them from afar and addressed his men. "There they are. Let's go!" Cody commanded as he pulled out from his cover and began opening fire upon the droids. The 212th took cover behind some rocks as the droids fired back at them, aided by their tanks as the Clones provided the distraction.
"Take 'em down, Jaune!" Ruby cheered for her friend and fellow leader.
"Blow 'em to scrap!" Yang joined in.
Ren nodded to Waxer and Boil as he ignited his Lightsaber and ran towards the prisoners, slicing up the two droids guarding them up while Waxer and Boil shot down the rest of them.
Ren approached the Twi'leks and used his Lightsaber to free them of their bindings.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Clones continued to try their best against the droids, but the tank's firepower was just too much for them. "Pull back! Pull back!" Cody ordered as he and the rest of them ran away from the tank.
"Best move he could make at this moment," Winter commented
"Yes, but it also made the diversion they needed to free the Twi'leks." Ironwood said.
After freeing the Twi'lek prisoners, Ren stood up to address them all. "Wa-janeel, wa-janeel!" Ren called out, gesturing to them to follow him as he headed back towards the stairs with the Twi'leks following him.
A Droid unit spotted this and reported it to the Tactical Droid. "Commander, we have a problem. Uh, the Jedi is freeing the prisoners."
The Tactical Droid was currently manning one of the tanks as he diverted towards the capital.
Waxer and Boil helped to provide cover fire for the Twi'leks as they fled.
The girl stood there and watched as her people fled. One of them spotted her and immediately brightened up with happiness. "Numa! Koma jel ree-kha!" The man exclaimed with relief as he came up to the girl, lifted her up and hugged her.
The audience smiled warmly at the girl, who they know now as Numa, reunited with her family.
"It's a nice name." Blake said with a smile.
"It is." Weiss nodded in agreement.
Ruby turned to View. "Is that her father?"
View sadly shook his head. "I'm afraid not." View regretfully said. "That's her uncle. I'm afraid her parents sadly perished during the invasion."
"Oh..." Ruby said, lowering her head while Yang placed a comforting hand on her younger sister's shoulder.
"At least she has someone looking out for her." Velvet said, trying to bring back the hopeful mood.
Nora looked up with an intense look. "I can't wait for Renny and Jaune to turn those droids into scrap metal."
"Waxer, Boil, come with me." Ren said as he reignited his Lightsaber and ran towards one of the cannons.
"We're with you, sir." Boil said as he and his brother followed him.
After cutting down the surrounding Droids near the cannon, even flinging one droid piloting it off, Ren hopped onto the controls as Waxer and Boil helped to lift one of the cells onto the cannon.
"Oh this should be good." Yang said with an excited grin on her face.
"Turning their own weapons against them?" Winter said with an impressed tone. "Very good."
"Let's see how they like it." Coco said with the same grin as Yang's.
Ren guided the cannon to aim at one of the other cannons nearby, with Boil placing a cell inside. "Ready, General." Boil announces.
Ren used the cannon to fire at a group of cannon cells in between two of the proton cannons, causing an explosion that destroyed both of them at once. Ren then aimed it at another cannon.
"Oh hell yeah!" Yang pumped her fist up.
"One down..." Weiss said.
"And a few more to go." Sun finished.
"Setting alpha five or six." The Droid piloting the cannon said in panic as Waxer and Boil loaded another cell in and Ren aimed at them. "Where's the override?" The Droid exclaimed. Ren then blasted at the other proton cannon, causing the droid to scream as he was blown away by the impact as the cannon limped down and destroyed another cannon near it.
But the Tactical Droid entered the area as he opened fire on Ren, causing him to quickly jump out of the way as Waxer and Boil ran away from it, but the droid managed to destroy the cannon, which explosion sent the two on the ground, including Ren.
"Oh crap..." Tai said.
"And things were going so well." Ghira growled.
"What about Ren and Jaune?" Pyrrha said with worry as she and Nora watched with fear rising within them.
Hearing the destruction up above, Numa ran up the stairs, worried for her friends as she ran to Waxer and Boil.
"Oh no, don't, dear..." Kali said.
"Nerra?" Numa says while shaking Waxer's arm.
The rest of the Twe'leks then suddenly ran up the stairs, all yelling out in defiance as they charged at the droids.
"What are they doing?" Ironwood asked.
"Fighting back." Blake said with a small smile of pride.
Waxer dusted himself off but was unable to stop Numa as she ran towards Ren, trying to help him up off the ground as the Tank approached the two and was aimed directly at them.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!" The Tactical Droid mockingly laughed at them in its monotone voice. "You lose, General Ren."
"Coward. Not so big when you're not hiding behind a tank!" Yang called out.
"Like with Roman and his mech." Weiss said with a glare.
But suddenly, the sounds of the Twi'leks yelling caught his attention as he looked around to see them running towards his tank.
"Looks like someone's in trouble," Qrow said with a grin.
"Can't imagine this is gonna turn out well for him." Ruby said.
"No it will not." Glynda said in agreement with her student.
"Does not compute. Does not compute. Does not compute…" The Tactical Droid repeated in disbelief as he was quickly surrounded and quickly being torn apart by the villagers.
"I believe it computes quite well to me." Penny remarked.
Ren stood up as he shielded Numa's eyes from the droid's fate, though she peaked through his fingers anyway.
The Tactical Droid was then pushed off the tanks as the Twi'leks finished him off by tearing off his limbs and head.
Ilia grinned in satisfaction seeing the droid get what he deserved.
"Damn, that is brutal." Qrow commented. "Can't say I don't approve."
"I know I do." Nora said.
They stopped their assault and looked up to the sky above to see Republic Frigates hovering above them, landing down below on the surface.
"And look who's here in the nick of time!" Sun grinned.
"Bout time if you ask me." Coco said.
Afterwards, Ren was greeted by Master Windu, with another legion of Clone Troopers coming out of the Acclamator behind him. "Great job getting rid of those cannons." Windu complimented as he, Cody and Ren walked together. "Now we have a more difficult objective. We must take the capital and free this world."
"Sounds good." Ironwood said. "Hopefully they can pull it off."
Meanwhile, Waxer approached Numa as he kneeled down in front of him. "See ya later, little one." Waxer said, rubbing the girl's head as he stood up to join the rest of his brothers.
"I hope she'll be okay after all this." Ruby said.
"She at least has her uncle." Pyrrha pointed out. "She has someone.
"Plus Waxer and Boil." Nora said. "Even if they are leaving, I know they'll be remembered by her fondly after all they have done."
"Hey, Numa." A voice called out to the child as she turned to see Boil with some other Clones. "Stay out of trouble."
Numa immediately ran up to Boil and hugged his leg, with Boil placing a hand on her back. "Don't be afraid. We'll be back." Boil assured as he went to join Waxer and the rest.
While the audience smiled at the exchange, View hung his head down slightly. Knowing that Boil would be right and that they would return, but as the heroes as they once were.
Numa watched them leave with a sad look as her uncle kneeled down beside her, hugging the young girl as she waved at the Clones. "Nerra! Nerra! Nerra!" Numa called out to them as she continued waving.
Waxer turned to Ren. "Sir, what is that she keeps calling us?"
Ren smiled warmly. "Nerra. It means "brother". Ren answered as the two Clones looked at each other in response.
"Mah heart!" Nora exclaimed while clutching her chest.
Ren smiled at both Nora and the meaning behind the word that Numa says, it is how he saw Jaune after all.
They turned and sent one final parting wave to the young girl before moving on with their mission to liberate Ryloth from the Separatists, and the screen fades to black.
"Man, that was a lot." Yang sighed.
"It sure was." Weiss said in agreement. "Which leads me to ask," Weiss said as she turned to View. "Do the people of Ryloth get freed eventually?" Weiss asked.
View nodded. "They do, thanks to the assistance of a resistance movement, Windu was able to capture Tambor and help liberate Ryloth from the control of the Separatists."
"Well, that is good to hear." Ozpin said.
"Yeah, plus, it was cool seeing Waxer and Boil." Ruby said.
"That they do." Pyrrha said in agreement. "Waxer especially. And it was nice to see that Boil cares too."
"Let's just hope that they'll continue on so that the Clone War can hopefully come to an end." Blake said, with most of the audience agreeing with her.
"Indeed." View said quietly as he put the orb back with the others. "Though the outcome may not be what you'd expected." He thought that last part to himself.
Thanks for reading this chapter of Worlds of Arc
Before, I was content with leaving the Clone Wars with Rookies, but I decided to do one more story. I was thinking of maybe doing the whole Ryloth trilogy, but I settled on just doing Innocents of Ryloth instead. Sorry for those who wanted to see the rest of it.
Next chapter we make another return to the world of Spider-Man, yeah, I know people might be tired of it, but I wanna get it done as quickly as possible so I can finish Worlds of Arc sometime before the year ends.
In the next Spider-Man viewing, Jaune will meet Oscar while in his Spider-Man persona and give him some tips and training while also dealing with a few complications in regard to the threat of the Demons. Thanks and see you around!
