Street Battle with the Mech Driving Thief
Setsuna and Yang are driving through the streets of the ruin city of Vale on their motorcycles heading to the one place Yang mentioned back at the dorm, and Nora is screaming of excitement riding with Yang while Neptune is holding on for dear life riding with Setsuna.
Then they stop in front of a building with a cute black bear symbol.
"Come on, my friend's right in here!" Yang said as they got off the bike.
"Uh, a shady place does seem like the appropriate place to find any information of the White Fang and Roman." Setsuna commented.
"Do they have a pet bear here?" Nora asked.
"I don't think so, not since the last time I was here." Yang shrugged as Setsuna notice Neptune is still frozen of shock a little.
"Neptune, come on. We're going inside." Setsuna said shaking Neptune awake from his shock.
"Uh, oh yeah, coming." Neptune responded as he got off the motorcycle and follow the girls into the nightclub.
(Inside the Nightclub)
Most of the people inside are black wearing black suits and red ties as they are walking around making sure the club is still doing fine until they heard noise from exit/entrance, then two guards came running in panic in their tones as they quickly close the door while mentioning about someone coming in.
"What are you two idiots doing?!" The boss of the nightclub, Junior asked.
But the two guards didn't answer because they never got the chance when the doors suddenly went flying from an exploding burst and the one entering the nightclub is Yang with her smirk.
"Guess who's back?" Yang announced and surrounded by guns not a second later.
"Wow, you sure are popular here." Nora surprised poking out from behind Yang on the right.
"I don't think that would be the right words I would use in this scene." Setsuna said poking herself out from the left.
"eah, so could you define "friend" for us?" Neptune asked, poking out from behind Setsuna.
"Stop, stop! Nobody shoot." Junior said as he pushes through the crowded black suited men and look towards Yang.
"Blondie, you're here! ...Why?" Junior asked nervously.
"You still owe me a drink." Yang grinned and walked to the counter grabbing Junior by the tie to drag him there.
"Neptune, I can only say that you may never get a woman like that." Setsuna said before walking away.
"Wait, what?" Neptune puzzled of what she just said.
"Oh, I wonder if they have a cute mascot here?" Nora asked as she looks around, passing the twins of the club as they rolled their eyes.
(With Black's Group)
Blake, Sun, and Ren are seen hiding and peeking out slightly from the concern of a building seeing some Faunus getting inside the warehouse where a White Fang solider is welcoming them as they enter.
"This is it." Blake whispered to the boys.
"You sure?" Sun asked just wanted to be sure.
"A White Fang soldier is welcoming some Faunus after they entered, pretty sure it's the place." Ren pointed out.
"Okay, got it." Sun nodded as they retreated for a moment and Blake handed them Grimm masks.
"I don't get it. If you believe what you're doing is right, why hide who you are?" Sun asked. He always wonders why the White Fang always wear Grimm masks.
"The masks are a symbol. Humanity wanted to make monsters out of us, so we chose to don the faces of monsters." Blake explained.
"It would seem the man who started these masks must have gone through a very dark time in his life." Ren guessed as he looks at his Grimm mask.
"If only you knew." Blake sighed before putting on her Grimm mask and walked to the warehouse.
"Always sunshine and rainbows with you..." Sun sighed as he and Ren put on their masks following Blake.
The three uncover Hunters in training enter the warehouse where they see tons of White Fang new recruits as they are waiting for the special speech to happen, they kept a lookout to see something out of the ordinary or any kinds of clues they could find and report back to the others. Then a very tall and muscular White Fang soldier walked up on the stage waving his arms to the new recruits to quiet down now.
"Thank you all for coming. For those of you who are joining us for the first time tonight, allow me to introduce a very special comrade of ours! I can assure you, he is the key to obtaining what we have fought for, for so long!" The White Fang Lieutenant gestured to his right allowing one man to take the stage.
It was then that Romacn Torchwick entered the stage which is a major shock the new recruits as they were always told the White Fang hates humans, yet there is one standing right before them with a cocky smirk as he waves at them while a short woman is standing at the back close to the curtains.
"Thank you, thank you! Please, hold your applause!" Roman chuckled.
"What's a human doing here?!" One Faunus with Deer antlers asked pointing at Roman.
"I'm glad you asked, "Deerie"!" Roman joked a little before answering the question.
"Now, I'll be the first to admit, humans... are the worst. Case in point." Roman pointed at himself.
"So, I understand why you would like to see us all locked away, or, better yet, killed!" Roman stated as the new recruit Faunus nods.
"So, is he going somewhere with this?" Sun asked whispering to Ren and Blake.
"I believe he is trying to make them understand how bad our world is from his point of view." Ren guessed.
"But, before the claws come out, I'd like to mention the fact that you and I all have a common enemy: the ones in control, the people pulling the strings, the dirty, rotten humans that run our kingdoms! Government, military, even the schools: they're all to blame for your lot in life! And they're all pests that need to be dealt with! Fortunately, I'm the best exterminator around... No offense to any rodents in the room." Roman smirked.
His words have certainly convinced the Faunus that he is on his side to bring this kingdom down for all the Hell it put them through, and they would use whatever means to get what they want even if it means getting help from a human like Roman who also hated his own kind.
With a snap of his finger, the red sheet behind him fell revealing the Atlesian Paladin-290 with a red mark of the White Fang on the right shoulder.
"Whoa, that's a big robot..." Sun gulped.
"How did he get that?" Blake asked shock as well.
"Something bad, I'm sure of it." Ren glared at Roman through his mask.
"As some of you may have heard, this right here... is Atlas' newest defense against all the scary things in the world. And thanks to my "employer", we've managed to snag a few before they, uh, "hit the shelves". Now, many of your brothers have already moved down to our new operation in the southeast. If you'd rather stay within the city, that's fine... But if you're truly ready to fight for what you believe in, this is the arsenal I can provide you. Any questions?" Roman finished his speech and all the White Fang soldiers, both old and the new recruits roar a round of applause.
"Blake, I believe it's our time to leave now." Ren suggested.
"My thoughts exactly, let's go." Blake nodded.
"Will all new recruits, please come forward!" The White Fang Lieutenant gestured his arms at the new recruits to come.
This causes the three undercover Hunters in training to be forced to move forward toward the stage which could spell doom for them if they don't think of a plan to get out of there.
(With Yang's Group)
"I don't know!" Junior groaned after answering Yang's questions about Roman and the White Fang.
"How can you not know?" Yang asked.
"I haven't talked to him! I haven't even seen him since the night you first came in here. He paid up front, I lent him my men, and none of them ever. Came. Back." Junior explained firmly.
"So where did they go?" Neptune asked.
"Rephrasing the question: did Roman tell you where he was going that he had to hire some of your men?" Setsuna asked.
"Just something about robbing Dusts and that's it. and I guess he wasn't happy with them, which is something I can relate to!" Junior yelled at his men as they look down in shame.
"Then I guess we're done here. Come on." Setsuna said as they walk away from Junior.
"Hopefully, Rushuna and the others are having better luck than we are." Setsuna sighed, tipping her hat over her eyes.
(Back with Blake's Group)
Sun is getting more worried every second they get closer to the stage as Roman is going to spot them very soon, Ren remains calm though also worried as he looks around until he spotted junction box on the wall.
"Blake. Over there." Ren gestured his head to the junction box.
Roman narrow his eyes at the two new recruits getting closer.
"He sees us." Sun alerted.
"He can't see in the dark." Blake said before quickly pulling out her weapon in gun mode and fired at the junction box, turning out the lights.
Using the confusion, the three threw off their masks and jump through the window and going on rooftop jumping but they are soon being followed by Roman in the giant mech suit giving chase.
"So you wouldn't happen to have... oh, I don't know... some form of backup?!" Sun asked freaking out.
"On it." Blake and Ren said taking out their Scrolls to call the others.
(With Jaune's Group)
Ruby and Rushuna reunited with Jaune, Pyrrha, and Weiss as they were about to leave to meet up with the others until their Scrolls started ringing and answer.
"Everyone! If you can hear me, we need back-HEEEELLLLP!" Blake called and Sun screamed.
"Oh no, we got to help them!" Rushuna gasped.
"Then let's go!" Jaune said and they started running to where Blake's group is.
"Big robot! And it's big! Really big!" Sun informed.
"That is so cool!" Ruby said awestruck and Weiss rolled her eyes.
(Highway Street)
Sun, Blake, and Ren are seen running through the highway street jumping onto one car to another and so on while Roman is still chasing them, coming at them from behind is Yang's group on motorcycles trying to catch up to them.
"We've gotta slow it down!" Yang said.
"I'm on it!" Neptune said transforming his weapon, Tri-Hard into gun made.
"Me too!" Nora said bring out her Magnhild into a grenade launcher mode.
The Atlas mech suit alerted Roman of danger behind him groaning in annoyance as he decided to shake them off by sending cars crashing at them.
"Shit!" Setsuuna pulled her gun and fires at the cars.
When the bullets made impact on the cars, they are surrounded by a purple sphere field as they are slowly going down to the streets while the riders are riding fast past them.
"Wow, want kind of bullets were those?" Nora asked surprise.
"Gravity Dust bullets, but they work differently than the ones you know. Now you two can shot with having to worry about hurting the people." Setsuna answered.
"Okay." Neptune nodded as he and Nora started firing at the mech causing it to stumble a little.
"What are you doing?" Yang asked seeing Setsuna on her Scroll.
"I just sent an emergency message to the authorities and hospital; they should check up on the people." Setsuna answered.
"EAT THIS, SUCKER!" Nora screamed as she fires at Roman again.
"Stupid brats." Roman groaned in anger.
"Blake! I'm in position!" Weiss said.
"Sun, Ren, follow me." Blake ordered and jumped ahead.
Weiss appeared twirling her body before landing in the middle of the road and stab her sword to create an ice field.
Roman slips on the ice field causing it to slide off the highway road and landed at the bottom where Jaune's group are waiting as they see the mech crashed.
"Do you think he's okay?" Rushuna asked.
"I'm sure he's fine." Jaune shrugged.
"Get ready, he's coming." Ruby said.
(Music: Rushuna Tendo Theme)
Soon, everyone gathered together just as Roman got back up and stares down at the kids with a fierce glare of anger.
"Freezer Burn!" Ruby commanded as everyone jumps back.
Weiss form the icy field again and Yang jumps high then dives to punch the icy field with a fire punch of her gauntlet, this causes the ice to become mist covering the area and blinding Roman who was approaching.
The laser sensors from the Paladin activates trying to search for those troublesome kids as it walks around, then got blasted in the back by Nora.
"Damn it." Roman cursed as he turns around and blasted an energy blast at Nora.
But Nora moves out of the way for Pyrrha and Ren jumping out to charge in for the attack.
"Spartan Petals!" Jaune called out for a team attack.
Ren jumps onto Pyrrha's shield for her to give him an extra boost to slash at the mech's face and Pyrrha attacks it twirling around with her sword fierce and strong, then Blake and Weiss attack together with their Checkmate team attack.
Neptune is seen a few meters away from the mech firing some lightning Dust bullets and Setsuna aims her gun at it.
"Let see how you like this." Setsuna smirked and fired the bullet.
The bullet started to glow red and just when it hit the mech bouncing off, the bullet is flying around and around repeatedly attacking Roman as Setsuna fired two more bullets s they continue striking Roman.
"Wow, is that your Semblance?" Rushuna asked amazes.
"Yeah, I call it Crimson Seeking." Setsuna nodded.
"Then let me show you what I learned." Rushuna smiled as she aimed her gun at the mech.
She fires it and the bullet glows golden as it struck the mech's left arm completely shattering it into little pieces.
"Jaune named it Golden Piecer." Rushuna said.
"Hey Rushuna, hit me with that." Yang called out.
"What, are you sure?" Rushuna asked worry.
"Yeah, you know what my Semblance is, just trust me." Yang said.
"Okay, if you say so!" Rushuna pointed her gum at Yang.
Meanwhile, Jaune and Sun charges in they do close combat against the blonde monkey Faunus decided to use his Via Sun to make four light clones of himself and they charge at Roman, two of them exploded on impact on the legs and the back.
Roman turns in firing some missiles at the boys, Sun jumps back to get away while Jaune blocks one with his shield remaining strong on his strong.
Rushina fire the bullet empowered by her Semblance hitting Yang dead on, though struggling at first, Yang stood her ground taking the damage turning it into power thanks to her Burn Semblance and ready to strike at the mech.
"YEAH! I'm all jacked up!" Yang shouted of excitement.
"Oh, goodness." Rushuna sighed in relief, thought she was gonna pass out if something bad happened to Yang.
"Pyrrha, can you keep that mech from moving for just a moment?" Jaune asked.
"I can try." Pyrrha said.
"Then go for it." Jaune said believing in Pyrrha he places his hand on her shoulder.
Pyrrha smiles and hold out her hands toward Roman, activating her Semblance to control the metal of the giant mech to keep it from moving.
"What the…?" Roman puzzled of what just happened as he tries to get the damn thing to move.
Pyrrha struggles from how big and strong the mech is, but her aura started to glow a little brighter coming from Jaune's aura glowing hand, she can feel her strength is somehow growing stronger.
"Bumblebee!" Ruby shouted to Blake and Yang.
The yellow and black partners nod at each other getting ready to unleash their team attack: Blake threw her blade hook with the black ribbon as Yang caught it running around boosting herself up with her shotgun gauntlets with Blake pulling around. Then Blake threw Yang at the mech for the blonde brawler of RWBY threw the punch which shattered the entire mech, forcing Roman out and rolling on the ground.
"How strong is that Semblance of yours exactly?" Setsuna asked.
"I say about strong enough to destroy that pillar holding up the bridge." Rushuna answered pointing at the pillar.
(Music End)
"Just got this thing cleaned…" Roman groaned as he gets back up and saw the group coming at him.
Yang fires a blast only to be block by an umbrella from a short woman back from the White Fang rally.
"Ladies, Ice Queen..." Roman mocked as Weiss yelled "Hey!"
"Always a pleasure! Neo, if you would..." Roman smirked and the short woman now known as Neo curtsies with a bow.
Setsuna fires a bullet at the two, but they suddenly shattered like glass showing they were illusions and saw them riding a Bullhead away.
"So, I guess he got a new henchman." Yang said.
"And perhaps just as dangerous." Setsuna added.
"Yeah, I guess she really made our plans... fall apart!" Weiss punned, which nobody found it funny and walks away.
Rushuna turns around for a moment looking at the direction the Bullhead was flying towards.
"That woman with the umbrella, I feel like I've seen her before." Rushuna said to herself.
