Hey guys, RGQC here and we are back with another chapter! This time, it's time to do Outbreak. I pity our dear guest as none of them had seen the Zerg virus. Anyways we shall address some reviews before we move on to the horror. (Hopefully I can pull it off…)
vmoneywashere: If I were to expand the story from a StarCraft 2 reaction to a multiverse, then yes, I could do it. But I should stick to my guns as of now and focus on the main purpose of this story.
Guest: Lily Belladonna is the daughter of Jade Belladonna and Blake Belladonna. Lily originates from an alternative universe but she makes references to her original universe and how it played out. In this case, she makes references to her father and his actions with team RWBY.
Ssgtsplatter: Well… It's more that Lily knows that Yang needs a talk with her mother, same with her mom and her parents since in her own world, both Jade and Blake told her stories about their journey together. That includes Yang, relationship with Raven and how Blake never interacted with her parents after she joined the White Fang.
FGOFanlover: I know, I gotta force myself to do it. Or at least remind myself to do it.
Yolo: Yea it sucks that my content is one of the few still active content. Let's hope that I don't give up on it or something.
Nice: Perhaps? We will see in the future.
Guest 2: Knowing EA's track record, they would more likely burn it down if it's not profitable. Or worse make it a bloody disaster. But one could hope that they would do a remake justice if they were to do one. And hopefully do it justice.
Guest 3: Refer to vmoneywashere answer as they are similar but I would need to change the entire story or make a new one for multiverse only.
Rioter21: Perhaps? Maybe? Who knows.
With that out of the way, let us begin!

Outbreak
After all that has transpired a moment ago, everyone was at the dining room enjoying their dinner in their own separate groups. The only difference was the presence of android guards armed with pulse rifles as well as a pistol in their holster in the room itself, and that RGQC was nowhere to be seen. After all, he's still needed to help repair the damages the rifts brought in as well as purge the remaining corruption from his realm.
Lily could be seen with her mother as well as her grandparents at their request. Most of the students were seated together with the adult close by. Cinder and her group were a distance away but not as far as Torchwick and Neo for obvious reasons. Raven was also keeping his distance from everyone else.
"So after dinner do you guys wanna check out RGQC's collection or try out those reaper suits?" Ruby asked after taking a bite out of some fresh strawberries that were provided.
"I vote for the reaper suits!" Yang yelled out as she stood up and raised a hand in the air.
"Yang sit back down. There's no need to stand you know right?" Weiss began to berate her teammate as Yang just stick out her tongue at her.
"I prefer looking at his collection, but I'm ok with trying out those suits." Blake admitted as she looked at her 'daughter' talking to her parents before Kali brought her into a crushing hug.
"I don't mind either." Coco spoke as she drank some water as her team nodded in agreement.
"What ya think guys? You guys want to go racing?" Sun then turned to his crew as all of them nodded in agreement.
"Well if everyone's going for the suits, I guess I'll come along." Neptune admitted. He really wants to check out RGQC's collection but it was clears as day that he was outvoted.
"Yea! Team JNPR will beat you all in it!" Nora yelled out with maple syrup dripping down her mouth.
"Children, please finish your meals first. Then you may try out those suits with RGQC's permission." Glynda then ordered them all to finish their meals as they let out a groan in defeat. Even here they couldn't escape from Goodwitch's gaze.
"So you're saying that my baby girl Blake met her husband Jade in Beacon?" Kali asked for confirmation as Lily nodded.
"Well yea, that's about right. Though since I'm from an alternative Remnant, Father may not even exist in your world."
"Is that so… What was he like? As the ruler of Menagerie more accurately." Ghira hummed before asking. Blake could only glance with curiosity at her 'daughter' as well.
"To summed it up. Dad cared deeply for his fellow Faunuses in Menagerie and did everything he could to bring their standard of living up. He also desires to fulfil mom's dream of racial equality between humans and faunuses. And he did it. Somewhat. It wasn't a smooth journey to be more accurate."
"He did that?" Kali sounded generally surprised, as do Ghira and Blake.
"Somewhat?" Ghira asked with a raised eye.
"Well… it wasn't all smooth journey, father had to deal with the remnants of the radical White Fang who infiltrated into his government. As well as humans who utterly refused to compromise despite his best efforts. At one point he nearly gave up on it when several of his most loyal followers attempted to launch a coup d'état against him over political views on humans. Father nearly lost control of Menagerie and was at his lowest at that point, so much so that he was tempted to launch a violent purge to rid himself of any opposition. He was so close to becoming a tyrant. It was because of Mum, you guys and us that he held back from purging everyone. A part of me feared what would have happened to Menagerie should we fail to convince him… Would it fall to tyranny or…"
Lily became quiet towards the end of her explanation; it was obvious that Lily was genuinely worried of her father going off the steep end. And everyone noticed it. So much so that Kali brought her into a hug and began to comfort her.
"There... there… It didn't happen, did it?" Kali asked as Lily shook her head as she looked at her grandma.
"Then there's no need to worry about it."
"I suppose so…" Lily could only mumble out before looking at her mother who seemed.
"Now, enough with this depressing talk. I want to know more about my granddaughter. Do you know any good teasing material?"
"Mom! I'm right here!" Blake yelled out as she and her daughter's cheeks flared up. Kali's smile seemed to grow bigger by the second. Long story short, Lily revealed some embarrassing facts about her parents. Mostly due to her Kali revealing her parents sex life to her back at home. Of all things…
In the end of it, Lily had a look of regret while Blake was blushing madly. All at the same time, Kali could only laugh about her alternative shelf embarrassing both her daughter and granddaughter. Yang could also be heard laughing in the background at it while Ghira could only sigh with a slight smile on his face as they enjoyed dinner together.
It wasn't long till they all had ate their dinner and walked through a portal into a rather large track field that was basically an open field in RGQC's realm.
"Oh wow. RGQC really does have everything huh?" Mercury was the first to speak.
"So cool! There is even exercising equipment here!" Ruby pointed out as they heard footsteps behind them.
"Ah wonderful, you've arrived. With the expulsion of those reality breakers, QAI can handle the rest. Now then." RGQC then clapped his hands to gather everyone's attention. "Those who wish to participate, please stand on my left. Others who just want the watch, please go to my right. It would be easier on me to group you up."
And with that everyone began to sort themselves up. All of the students quickly lined up in one somewhat neat row to RGQC's left, Summer and several adults that wished to join to 'watch' them race also lined up. The others gathered on RGQC's right.
"Excellent. Ok, those on my left, can you follow Aries? He will lead you guys aside so that I can get the suit on you. Those on the right? You can say here. I'll summon some chairs and other necessities that you may need, ok?" RGQC made a request as they nodded back. At the same time several chairs popped into existence as well as a couple of tables for their drinks.
"Ok. Good." RGQC then walked towards the group that wanted to have a reaper race and they consist of team RWBY, JNPR, SSSN CFVY, Penny, Summer, Qrow, Lily and even Neo. Oh! And Aries was also there.
"So… are you just going to summon the suits over us?" Coco then aske as RGQC then shook his head.
"Due to the fact that we have various people of different sizes, I have to make several suits on the spot with the help of QAI. As of right now, they're currently digitalized for easier travel." RGQC then pulled out a metallic cube that was glowing teal before dropping it on the ground. It then began to unfold itself into some sort of printer.
"What is that?" Neo then asked first.
"Oh this?" RGQC pointed at the machine before he stuck his hand through it as part of the reapers suit began to form on his arm. "Think of it like a printing machine of sorts, just walk through it and you would be wearing it. Though I took some liberties and made the jetpack much lighter for your convenience. Aries will run you through it."
RGQC then waved before walking off to the rest of the audience. Ruby could then be seen jumping through the machine as she's immediately covered in a reaper suit with a much smaller jetpack, all while everyone could only gasp in surprise. Ruby's reaper suit even has her signature colour and emblem on it.
"That's so cool!" Ruby could be heard crying out with absolute joy as Aries jumped through the machine and got his own suit as well.
"Ruby! Please do not rush through it. I still need to teach you how to use it or else you're going to crash a lot. And Master isn't going to be the one to keep healing you if you keep getting into accidents or something." Aries began to chastise Ruby though it looked hilarious to everyone else.
"Whoops… uh, Sorry?" Ruby could only sheepishly apologize as RGQC could be seen walking towards Raven who was clearly distancing herself from pretty much everyone.
"Raven. Have you talked to your daughter yet?" RGQC then asked as he stood beside her. Only to get a glare in return.
"No. Why does it concern you?" Raven answered back.
"You fear Salem, don't you? Is that why you ran from those who cared for you?" RGQC then looked back at Raven with a sympathetic look on his face.
"No. I left because I refuse to become another piece in Ozpin's impossible war against Salem. You of all people should have seen it." Raven shot back but RGQC just gave a somber chuckle in response that confuses her greatly.
"You're right. Except you're not. Ozpin's mistake was asking the Relic of Knowledge how can HE defeat Salem. And it told him that he could not. That was his mistake." RGQC gave a pause as Raven's eyes began to widen.
"And back to you. I've seen countless realties of you, majority of which ended with you dying alone, with no one else to help or save you. And do you want to know the most common you share in all those realities? Regret." RGQC finished off at Raven stared at him with wide eyes.
"Regret on how you wished that you could see your daughter for the last time, or regrets for leaving your brother and returning to your tribe, regrets of not being there when Summer died and just begin a horrible sister overall. That was your regret. And those were final thoughts that ran through your head before you die alone." RGQC finished as he looked back at Aries teaching everyone how to use the jetpack without crashing. Followed by Nora blasting off into the skies much to Aires's annoyance and the laughter of others.
"Why tell me this?" Raven finally responded after a period of silence. But her tone is one of shock, confusion and her eyes begged for answers.
"Why tell you this? Because I believe that you can change as a person. While we realm lords cannot directly interfere with how the multiverse works, we can give nudges to how things will go. I hope you will take it to heart, if not. Well… you'll know the fate that awaits you in the end." And with that, RGQC walked off into a portal that appears beside him. Leaving Raven all alone to think as to what RGQC had just said.
A part of her wants to deny it but… It was obvious that despite the fact that the realm lord has some obvious dislikes of her, he is still willing to give a chance to change it. Perhaps it's for the best that she thinks it through.
After a day's break and overall fun for everyone, they all came back to the theatre (Except Lily, she went with Aries to some other place) room as RGQC could be seen petting a white squirrel-like creature as it lays on his lap.
"Hey RGQC- What's that?" Yang spoke first only to notice the furry creature on his lap.
"Oh hey guys. This fella you mean?" RGQC pointed his fingers at the fluffy creature who looked at the realm lord and let out a chirp of sorts.
"Fou Fou!" It chirped out as Ruby zipped towards RGQC. "Aww… who is this little guy? It's so fluffy!"
"Fou!" The white creature chirped again as it then rolled over onto its back and present its belly to Ruby.
"This little guy is named Fou. He's a visitor of my realm and regularly comes to me for belly scratches or head pats. Just don't piss him off, Fou may look adorable but he can kick your ass easily. So just don't anger him."
"Fou~" Fou let out another chirp as Ruby giggled as she began to give it belly rubs much to the jealousy of the other woman in the theatre.
"Hey! Let us pet it too!" Nora butted in and unintentionally shoved Ruby aside as she picked Fou up and ran back.
"Fou?!" Fou chirped in surprise from Nora suddenly grabbing him.
"What?! Hey!" Ruby complained as she ran towards Nora who was busy parading Fou like he's some sort of medal.
"Settle down everyone. Fou like head pats and belly rubs, so I'm sure that he would let you all get a chance to give him one."
"RGQC, if I may ask, what animal is it? It's unlike anything we're seen in Remnant." Ozpin the spoke as Fou looked at Ozpin before tilting his head, this earned several squee among the younger audiences.
"Fou is one of a kind. And he does not exist in Remnant, and for good reason too." Ozpin just nodded at RGQC's answer as Fou could be seen jumping off Yang's lap and onto Ironwood's shoulder before he began to hit Ironwood in the cheek with his paws. Funnily enough Ironwood doesn't seem to mind that much to the surprise of those who knew the General.
"Anyways, we should begin the show again and man. This one's a doozy, so prepare yourselves." RGQC gave his warning as he sat down on his chair, Fou could also be seen hopping on the chairs before landing back on RGQC's lap and began to fall asleep.
"Is it really that bad?" Sun then asked.
"Yea. That's why I'm giving you all a warning ahead, but I will keep my mouth shut. No spoilers." Everyone seemed to get what RGQC meant as the screen lights up to show the epilogue of the previous mission.
As promised, the lucrative deal with Gabriel Tosh has paid off handsomely. But the mysterious resource pirate isn't finished with Jim just yet...
"So this Tosh fella got more work for Raynor it seems." Qrow was the first to speak.
"He still reeks of suspicion Qrow, even if he's providing Raynor with credits as a reward." Tai then joined in as several others nodded in agreement.
Hyperion Bridge
19:32 Shipboard Time
The screen then lights up to show Raynor and Matt having a chat on the bridge of their recent success.
"Nice work, sir. The payoff from Redstone really got us back on our feet."
"Nothing like a job well done." Torchwick then commented as Neo nodded.
Raynor looks over his shoulder at Tosh who was looking at one of the, consoles. He could be seen wearing a suit unlike anything the audience have ever seen. It even has red lights pulsing all over his suit. Raynor then back to Horner as he asked. "Why is that Tosh guy aboard?"
"That's Tosh? Can I say I dig the pulsing red lights on his suit?" Sun then asks out loud.
"You do know that we know nothing of this guy, right? He could be a spy for all we know." Neptune then pointed out.
"He wanted to talk to you in person, sir. Something about conducting more 'business ventures' together."
"Hmm… So, Tosh still has more jobs for Raynor huh?" Ozpin hummed to himself.
"You do any diggin' on him?" Raynor then asked for some info of the guy.
"Some info would be helpful at discerning who this guy was." Ironwood muttered out as Matt gave the answer that everyone was looking for.
"Of course, and he's no pirate. Rumor has it he's a renegade Ghost - and until he vanished he was one of the Dominion's top assassins."
"A renegade Ghost? Assassins? They call their assassins Ghosts?" Mercury then spoke out. If Tosh is an assassin, then maybe they had something in common.
"Yea. Ghosts are feared Terran covert operatives. Originally created by the Terran Confederacy before the Terran Dominion adopted them, and known for their assassination skills, psionic powers and ability to cloak. The training regime are also really brutal and the recruits are chosen at an incredibly young age with traces of psionic powers. In short, they basically turned children with psionic powers into weapons."
Everyone was understandably horrified that Ghosts are basically just weapons, and the fact that they are chosen at a young age just adds on to the horror.
"Don't get me started on the tactics they used to reign them in and prevent any sort of insubordination." RGQC muttered out as the screen resumed.
"Now Mengsk hates him almost as much as he hates you." Matt continued on with his explanation.
"Well, I like this guy already. Just the same, we'd best keep an eye on him." Raynor then gave an order to Matt to keep an eye on Tosh.
"Yes sir." And the screen darkens once again.
"I agree. Mengsk may have hate Tosh as much as Raynor. But it is best to keep an eye on him. Even if they both are working together." Qrow then spoke.
Hyperion Cantina
- 25 Minutes Later
The screen lights up to show Raynor currently enjoying a drink in the cantina as the jukebox could be heard playing in the background. It was at this point that he decided to ask his partner of his thoughts on the new guy.
"You ever heard of a guy named Gabriel Tosh?" Raynor asked is partner.
"Only rumors. Way I hear it, he was mixed up in some covert branch of the Ghost program that produced some real scary bad-asses. Word was Tosh snapped and went rogue. I'd play it real cool with that kind. He'd cut your throat soon as look 'atcha."
"So the guys probably mentally unstable? That's just begging for a disaster to happen by working with him." Winter stated clearly on her thoughts of the new guy on board as several other have to agree. From what RGQC had said earlier, Ghost are basically living weapons. So, a Ghost that snapped and went rogue? Best not to trust him.
"I've dealt with rogue Ghosts before. It's the ones still working for Mengsk I got a problem with." Raynor assured his partner as the UNN news network started playing as Raynor and Tychus both paid attention to it.
KMC abandons outlying worlds as losses mount - Umoja mobilizes - Conscription stations open across core worlds - Markets slump after Kelanis defeat - Actress Kyla Velassi enters rehab. Velassi: I love you all! -
The audience just ignored the news ticker as there wasn't anything worth to talk about as Donny Vermillion appeared on screen.
"Donny Vermillion, UNN. Your first, last and only stop for the truth. Tonight our own Kate Lockwell uncovers a secret shadow war, waged by our brave Dominion ghosts, against a ruthless, hidden enemy." Donny states as it then cuts to Kate as well as a silhouetted figure that was next to her.
"Could that be related to Tosh?" Blake then offers her thoughts.
"Could be Miss Belladonna." Glynda nodded.
"Thanks Donny. I'm talking live with [BLEEP!], a specialist in the Dominion [BLEEP!]. [BLEEP!], I understand that you and your comrades have been [BLEEP!] against a [BLEEP!] [BLEEP!] of [BLEEP!]. What can you tell us about that?"
"That's a lot of censors." Velvet then mumbled as she drank her juice.
"Talk about press censorship Bun Bun." Coco agreed as several chuckles could be heard.
It was then that the silhouetted figure spoke. "Well Kate, I'm not allowed to say much, but I can tell you [BLEEP!] and his allies will not [BLEEP!]. We expect to [BLEEP!] them very soon." And with that, it cuts back to Donny.
"I think we'll all sleep a little better tonight," And immediately most of the immature cast started to laugh as it sounded so wrong and funny. "knowing our Dominion forces are watching over us. For UNN, I'm Donny Vermillion." And with that Raynor stood up from his seat and walked off as the screen darkens.
The screen then lights up again to show Raynor choosing some upgrades for his army in the console as Swann could be seen talking to one of then engineers. At the same time, Redstone III could be seen in the background in all its broken glory.
"Not much interesting thing happing huh?" Yang then spoke as RGQC finally said something.
"You know what, since there's no conversation going on, I'll explain some of the upgrades Raynor's getting. The first one is an upgrade to his Firebats that would increase their splash with their flamethrowers by at least 40% by giving it multiple ports on the flamethrower. Now with it, Firebats can now fire a wall of fire." RGQC explained as the sound of typing or scribbling could be heard before he continues.
"The next upgrade is for his marauders. Now they fire concussive shells instead of the basic grenade shells. These grenades are unique as they detonate, they generate a temporary gravitational warp that disrupts the gravity field surrounding a target or, in certain models, a group of targets. In short, it slows the target down if they are hit by it."
"How does that work though?" Summer was the one to ask as RGQC gave an answer.
"It basically increased the gravity of the area the grenade detonated in. Think of it like your gravity dust, once it detonates. It drags everything towards it. This is similar but it increases the gravity forces of the area itself, which makes everything in the vicinity slower due to the need to apply more force to move.
That earned several 'ahs' in response as well as several scribbling of ideas. RGQC then explained the final upgrade that Raynor had gotten.
"The final upgrade that he got is called Projectile Accelerator for his bunkers. In short, bunker port has the addition of a magnetic rail that would dramatically accelerates all projectiles coming out of the port, increasing the range of all weapons fired from the bunker." RGQC explained.
"This is indeed fascinating… I wonder if we could apply it to our Paladins and Knights." Pietro then mumbled out as Penny nodded her head in agreement as the screen resumed.
"Now we got pirates on the ship. Kachinsky - better take an inventory." Swann muttered to himself as Raynor left the armoury and is now in the laboratory and having a chat with Ariel who was looking at her tablet in her hands.
"I wonder… There must be some sort of properties those jorium crystals have. After all, why would Tosh asked Raynor to mine for him?" Cinder asked out loud as everyone could only agree with her. RGQC on the other hand, just pointed at the screen.
"Just out of curiosity, I did some tests on the minerals from Redstone. I thought you should know - I found trace quantities of jorium, a rare crystal with very unique properties." Ariel began to explain about what she had found out about those crystals.
"I'm all ears, Doc. What kind of properties?"
"Jorium resonates at the same frequency as certain brain waves. It's been theorized that it could be used to stimulate brain activity or even produce psionic abilities in human subjects." Ariel explained.
"What the hell does Tosh want that for?" Raynor could only wonder what's Tosh's great plan was before he headed to the bridge.
It was then that Jaune noticed something. "Produce psionic abilities… Didn't Matt say that Tosh was a rogue Ghost?"
"Yea he did mention it." Pyrrha was next to speak.
"And Mengsk hates him as well." Yang added in.
"Looks like our dear pirate is more then he lets up. Is he planning a rebellion?" Neo then added in.
"Who knows at this point." Torchwick muttered.
Back on the Hyperion Bridge, Matt could be seen staring at the console as Tosh could be seen at the corner of the bridge itself. It was then that Matt made a request to his superior. "You might want to talk to our new guest. Maybe ask him to leave my bridge?"
"Matt really doesn't like having people on his bridge huh?" Sun then spoke before eating another Banana.
"Can you blame him? It can get quite cramp in bridge itself, so it's understandable that he dislikes when people who shouldn't be in it are occupying some space." RGQC then added in as Fou woke up from his nap.
"Fou?"
"Nothing Fou, got something you want to ask?" RGQC then asked the little critter as the realm lord rubbed Fou behind the ears.
"Fou Fou!" Fou chirped back.
"I see… Is that so?" RGQC raised an eye-brow as everyone one could only look at each other in confusion.
"RGQC, what's Fou saying to you? Because it's clear that none of us here can understand him." Summer then asked with curiosity.
"Well if you are indeed curious, Fou was just telling me that another Remnant has him inside it."
"Wait wait wait! You're saying that in another Remnant, Fou somehow found himself onto it?" Qrow chocked on his drink before asking it.
"Yea. Multiverse and stuff. Anything you think could happen, will happen. One example would be team RWBY being guys instead of girls."
"Us as guys? That's new…" Blake muttered.
"Yea…" Weiss added in.
"I can't imagine Ruby as a boy..."
"Or Yang as a guy, I think he would look a whole lot like my younger self." Tai admitted as Yang could be seen blushing.
"If Blake is a boy in that Remnant, then how would Jade look like in such a scenario?" Kali then asks as Blake blushed.
RGQC could be seen rubbing his cheeks as he hummed. "QAI? Should we?" He asked.
[It should be fine to show a picture of her.]
"I see… very well. What I am showing you is her time in Beacon so don't expect much." RGQC then snapped his fingers as the theatre screen then shows a Faunus girl with green eyes and cat ears, her hair was wrapped in a ponytail that seemed to reach the ground, and it has white highlights at the end of her ponytail. She wears a white t-shirt that lefts her muscular midriff exposed, she also wears a black-jeans that had pockets over it, and she also possesses a grey overcoat that covers her body and black boots. What's most notable was the presence of ahoge on her head.
On her hips were two hand cannons that were painted blue-white and green-black. Those hand cannons also have blades at the bottom part of the barrel itself, suggesting that the guns turned into swords if required. And overall, she has her arms folded and under her breast.
"Hmm… Clothing wise… not bad, could be better but not bad at all. Though I think the hair's too long." Coco took the time to observe the photo on screen.
"Wow… She's hot." Sun could only say as several of the guys have to agree with blushes on their faces.
"Damn. She has muscles on her belly that puts me to shame." Neptune was next to say his thoughts.
"No kidding." Sage mutter out.
"Uh… What's with that strand of hair on her head?" Velvet pointed out as several of the audiences burst out laughing.
"Hahaha!"
"She looks lovey, does she?" Kali clapped her hands together before facing her husband who could only grunt in response.
"uhn."
"She's quite the cutey eh Blakey?" Yang elbowed Black who was observing her features closely and noticed something odd. She and RGQC share somewhat similar features in a way. More accurately are the rather thick eyebrows.
"Yea…"
RGQC then coughed in his hand to gather everyone's attention back on him. "Now that I have answered how Lily's father would look like as a woman, I believe that we have deviated from the show itself. Let us resume."
"Ah here's the man! We make a good team, me and you." Tosh turned and greeted Raynor who approached him.
"Why are you here, Tosh? Our business is done unless ya got something else for me?" Raynor pointed out as technically, they had already done business.
"Yeah I got another job for us on a world called Bel'Shir. Interested?" Tosh asked.
"Maybe. But what's in it for me? Piracy ain't exactly my chosen path." Raynor then countered
"Everyone knows Jim Raynor wants to put the hurt on Mengsk. I can help you with that...I can help you big time."
"Tosh really want to get back as Mengsk huh?"
"Yup."
"I'll think about it. For the time being - welcome aboard the Hyperion. We'll talk later." Raynor said as he walked away from Tosh and back at Matt who was busy starting at the console.
"Sir, where are we heading next?" Matt asked as he brought up a map. Now with two new planets to choose from. The first new choice is Bel'Shir, a jungle planet and the other choice is Tarsonis.
"Oh! New planets to visit!" Ruby pointed out.
"So it's either go to a Refugee camp to help them with a disease problem, go and do another job from Tosh, or go to a temperate planet?" Ozpin spoke out as everyone nodded.
"Yup." RGQC only said that as Robyn pointed out something that was noticeable.
"RGQC if I may, you are awfully quiet, is there something disturbing you?"
"Huh? No not really. It's just that I don't wish to disturb Fou who's resting on my lap. The little fella can get quite angry if I were to disturb his sleep. And he kicks hard. And he would aim for my groin just to add insult to injury."
This got many of the guys to cringe at the thought and a nod out from Robyn before the screen continues.
Raynor then selected the planet Meinhoff as Ariel appeared on screen to give some important information.
"Jim, refugee populations from across the Sector have been using Meinhoff as a staging point. But with so many people in close proximity, an epidemic of some kind has started sweeping through the camps. Please - my people need help! We've got to do something before it's too late!"
Matt looked at Raynor who looked back and gave a nod before speaking. "Matt, set a course to Meinhoff. Let's see what we can do for em."
"Understood sir." Matt replied as the screen went dark.
…
"So what's the job just help the refugees deal with a plague?" Mercury then asked. The idea of helping refugees with a plague sounds incredibly boring. To him at least.
"Yea. Something like that."
"Except that they'll be dealing with a Zerg Hyper-evolutionary virus… Now that I think about that. This entire mission is basically a Zombie hold the line mission. Except the day and night cycle on this planet is tediously fast." RGQC thought to himself as the screen lights up again.
The screen lights up again to show the Hyperion in space over a planet that the audience could guess is Meinhoff. It also has a blue star in the background much to their awe. They'd never seen a blue star before and it's pretty.
"Fascinating..." Pietro muttered out before he continues. "I wonder what causes the sun to have a shade of blue instead of yellow."
"That is because Pietro, the colour of a star is linked to its surface temperature. The hotter the star, the shorter the wavelength of light it will emit. The hottest ones are blue or blue-white, which are shorter wavelengths of light. Cooler ones are red or red-brown, which are longer wavelengths." RGQC gave an info dump that causes several of the students gave a bewildered expression on their faces. Pietro on the other hand, looked incredibly fascinated with what he had just heard.
Meinhoff System - 04:53 Shipboard Time
…
The camera then cuts into the bridge as Raynor and Ariel could be seen looking at the
console screen as Raynor then asked.
"So what are we lookin' at, Doc?"
"Our readings indicate some kind of bio-infestation is spreading through the refugee camps. Even the buildings are being covered by it!" Ariel pointed out as the screen showed several buildings covered in some sort of bio material.
"That's not a normal plague…" Ironwood pointed out.
"Please don't tell me what it is." Qrow's eyes widen when he realised what it could be.
"I've seen this kinda thing before." Raynor recognised it as he walked forward. "It's a Zerg virus. All we can do is burn it out."
"By Ohm! What kind of virus causes that?!" Summer pointed out as several other's shivered at its implications.
"Every one of those infested buildings has to be destroyed." Raynor continued before Ariel pointed out something that makes the audience very concerned.
"But... where are all the people?"
"Good question. Yet I can't help but fear… If the Zerg can infest those structures then…" Ozpin mumble out as the next part that appeared on screen causes everyone to pale.
The screen shows that with night falling on Meinhoff, multiple things, that were clearly originally human unburrow from the ground itself and began to shambling in mass.
"No!" Ruby lost her cool when she saw those infested Terrans. "Don't tell me. Those were the original refugees?" She then meekly asked as RGQC grimly nodded.
"A fate worse than death. Most of the time, you would lose yourself when you get infested, other times… You're still aware. Trapped in a body that you couldn't even control anymore. Death is a mercy kill at this point." RGQC continued on as everyone's face paled. Except Penny who was trying to understand the biological makeup of those infested and got confusing results that boggles her. The pathogen that's infecting the refugees mutates rapidly to a point that it's impossible to predict it.
"Oh no! Those...things are infested refugees? This is a nightmare!" Ariel expressed her horror, Raynor could only agree that the situation has already gotten worse now.
"Yeah, this ain't good at all."
"It looks like they burrow underground by day and emerge only at night. The virus must make them vulnerable to the high UV output of Meinhoff's star." Ariel then pointed out as the infested could be seen burrowing underground and then it shows another group burning to death when they were exposed to the sun.
"If that's the case, then they should strike in the morning and hold out in the night." Ironwood then made an observation as everyone agreed.
"Then we'll hit the infested buildings by day and protect our base at night." Raynor then come to that conclusion before assuring Ariel.
"Don't worry, Doc - we'll contain this thing." And with that the screen slowly turned dark.
"Ok I need to give some information for Meinhoff as they would be important." RGQC then picked up Fou and rest him on his should before he stood up.
"Friend RGQC, the day and night cycle of Meinhoff is unusually fast. Are you going to talk about that?" Penny then asked.
"Correct Penny." RGQC gave a thumbs up to Penny before he continued on explaining. "The planet Meinhoff has a faster than normal day and night cycle. As you all saw, it changed from day to night within minutes. That's the quirk of this mission. When its day time, Raynor has to attack the infested and defend when it is night time."
"Fascinating so different planets have different rotational speed?" Pietro the asked.
"Rotational what?" Ruby then tilted her head as Weiss sighs.
"Rotational speed Ruby, how long it takes for a planet to do one full rotation. Example Remnant itself has a rotational speed of 24 hours." Weiss explained.
"Almost correct Weiss. Your planet's actual planetary rotation is 23 hours and 56 minutes. (Based Remnant's one on Earth's rotation)
"What?" Flabbergasted, Weiss asked out loud.
"Yea. I know a whole lot of information and other stuff..." RGQC seemed to droned out at the end but he snapped out of it when the screen lights up again.
The screen then lights up to show a standard Terran base that had several SCVs working on the minerals as well as two Barracks could be seen. Covering the entrances of the camp itself were Firebats, marines and medics could be seen watching out the camp. It was then that Raynor appeared on screen once again.
At the same time,
time appeared at the top right corner of the theatre as it says, 'Day 1:30'
"They got only 1 minute and 30 seconds before it becomes night? Just how fast is the planet's day-night cycle?" Emerald then asked.
"Eh, at least five minutes or so?" RGQC seemed unsure for some reason as he shook his hand.
"That fast? Wow. Talk about messed up sleep cycles." Torchwick then said as drank some alcohol.
"Alright, boys - we can't risk the contagion spreading to this camp! I want a perimeter set and some bunkers in place now!" Raynor gave some orders as SCVs could be seen leaving the mineral field to work on some bunkers.
Tychus then appeared on screen to voice is disgruntle of helping those colonists. "You going sweet on that doctor lady, Jimmy? Can't see why else we'd keep fighting for these damn dirt farmers."
"He's really obvious that he doesn't want to be here nor wants to help others." Glynda then narrowed her eyes when she had heard what Tychus had said.
"Jerk." Yang muttered.
"Yang, language." Summer chastised her daughter as Yang gave a nervous chuckle, she had forgotten that Summer is now back to lecture her if she did anything wrong. Raven on the other hand could only look at Summer from a distance.
As the timer strike 30 seconds till night, Raynor's Adjutant appeared on screen to give an alert. "Nightfall in thirty seconds." While that was going on, the two Barracks could be seen working on addons as Bunkers could be seen being built.
Looks like the first night approaches." Blake pointed out.
"I swear, this reminds me of one of those zombie movies yea?" Yang then pointed out as several of the audience could only nod their heads.
"Though in this case, it would be infected people instead of the dead rising up." Pyrrha then added in.
"Purge them all! Burn em all!" Nora suddenly yelled out with a slight panic in her tone.
"Nora's just afraid of zombies. Don't worry about her." Ren deadpanned as Nora grabbed him by the shoulders and began to shake him vigorously, much to the concern of his teammates.
"What! Renny! how could you say that?! The zombies are going to bite them and eat their brains! Or turn them into more zombies!" Nora continues her panicked talk as the screen continues on.
"I don't think they're even zombies…" Jaune then muttered out.
"…More like infected yea?" Pyrrha finished Jaune's thoughts as he nodded back at her.
As Raynor made his last preparations, the timer strikes zero as the base was plunge into darkness. At the same time, Firebats could be seen entering the bunkers as an alert appeared on screen.
It is Nighttime." Way to emphasis the point huh?" Mercury then asked.
'Night 1 4:25'
"So they have to survive night one? For 4 minutes and 25 seconds?" Ghira then hummed as RGQC nodded in responded as he continues petting Fou on his lap.
"Fou…"
Raynor then appeared on screen to give commands to his men. "Now we gotta hold out 'till sunrise. Brace yourselves, this could get ugly." He a that as there was a sudden groan coming from within the darkness. Firebat's inside the bunkers could be seen pointing their flame throwers out as Marines could be seem pointing their rifles towards the darkness.
It was then that hordes of infested refugees could be seen shambling towards them as everyone opened fire on them. Reliving them of their suffering in the process.
Many of those infested sport massive claws on their arms and backs that seemed to extend forward like those of Zerglings. Some have massive boils that cover large swaths of their bodies, as well as many of them had tentacles all over their bodies and in places that it shouldn't be there. Like their faces, necks etc. Some even have tentacles coming right out of their mouths, as if the infestation turned their tongues into that.
It was then that one of the infested could be heard begging.
"Please... kill me!" He begged out before he was granted it with a bullet through the head. Others were torched alight but despite everything, the Zerg parasite within their systems compelled them forward until they turned to nothing but ash.
To say the least. Everyone was understandably horrified at the sight, even Cinder was genuinely horrified by their appearance. Compared to earlier on the Hyperion, which was much harder to see the gruesome details of the infestation, seeing it as if they were there terrified them. It even causes some of them to puke at the sight at how awful they looked. And it was also clear that some of the infested were begging to be released from this fate.
"Just… How does a virus cause that?" Tai then asked.
"The Zerg virus is called the Hyper-evolutionary virus for a reason. As the name suggest. It mutates extremely fast, thus making the possibility of a cure seemingly impossible, though some serums are able to slow the spread of infestation." RGQC stated.
"So there's no cure for it?" Kali then asked.
"Almost impossible due to how fast it mutates." RGQC answered back
"I guess putting them out of their misery is the only thing you could do for them." Ironwood muttered out.
"It is."
As Raynor's men held off the infested, Swann's theme popped up once again as he appeared on screen, "Hey hotshot! I got schematics to build them Hellions you saw on Mar Sara, should be good down there!"
"Hey! Swann's back!" Ruby cheered on as a factory could be seen floating down before landing onto the ground and at the same time. A drop pod could be seen landing down as at least three hellions could be seen exiting from it.
"And they now have hellions. That should help them the infested."
"True."
Those hellions immediately zip off towards the defensive line and began a let loose a line of fire that began to burn many of those infested. Though this had a side effect of causing those who knew how dangerous hellions were to pale slightly.
"Are you guys ok? You seemed to pale slightly." Sun pointed out as who were unaware to how devastating hellions were could only look at their fellow audiences with confusion.
"It's nothing…" Weiss tried to rub it off.
"Are you sure? Your faces are all pale. And it obvious that something is affecting you guys." Coco then pointed out.
"They watched as a couple of marines, before you guys joined us, turned into literal ashes from those hellions under the Dominion. So, it's understandable that seeing those vehicles in action brought up some of those memories." RGQC bluntly stated as those who were there could only shudder.
As the audience continue watch as the forces of Raynor held off the tide of infested as more men and hellions could be seen gathering up. More bunkers were being constructed. It was during that process that Raynor appeared on screen as the sun began to rise up once again.
"Sun's comin'up! We gotta hold on a little longer!" Raynor urged his men to hold the line as more infested shambled towards the defensive lines only to get gunned down or roasted if they got close enough.
As the timer strikes zero, the sun came back up and many of those infested that did not get into cover began to burn up rapidly and at such speeds that they were reduced to nothing but ash.
It is Daytime.
'Day 1 6:00'
"Hmm… So, they have 6 minutes to do as much damage as they could, correct?" Ozpin hummed as RGQC nodded back.
"Even so, eliminating a portion of the infested buildings should be the main priority in the morning. And hopefully, stem the tide of infested attacking Raynor's base at night." Glynda then added in as she took a sip to calm her nerves.
"Rise and shine, boys! Now it's our time to do some damage!" Raynor said some encouraging words as those who entered the bunkers during the night quickly emerge out of it and group with the rest of the forces before they moved out.
As they exited the base, they encountered a variety of building and supply depots covered in Zerg biomatter of sorts as Ariel popped up on screen. "Is that...some sort of nest? You'd better destroy it!" Ariel said as Raynor's men began to burn the infested structures down.
"Ugh… gross." Coco mumbled out as there were clearly tentacles on the buildings themselves and are wiggling all over the place.
Yet, for every infested structure they burned down, broodlings seem to emerge out of every structure but they too were quickly burned or shot down. Once an entire sector is cleared from the infestation, Raynor popped into view.
"Alright, this sector is clear! Nice work boys, now move on to the next area!" Raynor ordered his men as they move on.
"When we entered Meinhoff, I've never expected to be fighting infested civilians in the night and burning their nest in the day." One of the Medics muttered out.
"Then what were you expecting?" Another medic asked as they watched everyone else blast the infested buildings to oblivion.
"A more humanitarian work you know? Giving supplies to refugees or treating them of their illness, not whatever we are doing right now."
"I know." The medics both let out a sigh before returning back to work.
Talk about tough luck." Qrow chuckled slightly at his own self-deprecation.
As the group continue to clear the next sector of infested, they encountered various infested structures that the audience can recognise. The prominent one is the command center in the middle of that sector that is clearly covered in Zerg bio matter. There were also bunkers and missile turrets that were also clearly infested. And there was even a refinery that was infested as well!
Yet they push through and into the base as Raynor's Adjutant popped on screen to give a warning. "Nightfall in thirty seconds"
"I recommend they pull back and prepare for the night." Winter gave her thoughts on the situation.
"I think they can wipe this sector clear before night comes." Ironwood then pointed out as they watched as Raynor's men wiped out another infested sector as Ariel popped up.
"Looks like that sector is clear, Jim. Better move on to the next one." Ariel says as Raynor's men could be seen returning to base as fast as they could before the sun sets.
It is Nighttime.
'Night 4:25'
"You should set some guards. They'll be coming again soon." Ariel advised as Raynor's camp had grown much larger. Now there was an additional Barracks as well as more bunkers could be seen in the defensive lines as Marines, Marauders, Firebats, Medics and hellions could be seen pointing their guns towards the darkness. As they watched the men braced for the infested, Adjutant appeared on screen to give a report.
"Scans are picking up a unique Zerg bio-signature. It appears to be a burrowing creature that is underground during the day and emerges only at night." Adjutant say as the camera pans towards one of the strangest Zerg the audience have ever seen minding its own business. It has several sturdy yet stubby legs, its faces could be summarised as full of tentacles while having thickened plating along their back for protection. At the end of its body is an exposed sac of sorts that pulsed every second as well as some sort of opening at the end of its back.
"What is that thing? It looks much different from the other Zerg we've seen so far." Pietro then asked.
"That is an Infestor. One of the Zerg support unit and the likely candidate as to how the Zerg virus got onto Meinhoff."
"That thing? And what does it do?" Summer then asked but RGQC just placed his finger on his lips. This got Ruby and Yang to start laughing at how their mother got denied as well.
"Sir, if you kill one of those creatures, Stetmann can study it and perhaps learn something." Matt then suggests as the hordes of infested come. But this time, there's the addition of infested marines still in their armour and their gauss rifle clearly merged with them. As summarised by Tychus as to their reactions…
"Infested marines!? Oh hell Jimmy, I don't care for that notion one bit." Tychus said as said infested marines began to open fire upon the bunkers only to get roasted by a hellion. While SCVs could be seen keeping the hellions and bunkers in tip top shape. And like before Raynor held them off, though they keep coming and the hordes are notably getting larger.
"So now there's infested with guns, let's just hope they have terrible aiming." Coco hoped.
"There's more of those… things." Neo mumbled to herself, but Torchwick heard it and respond back to his henchwoman.
"Yea, and I think it's going to get worse the more nights go by."
"Daybreak in thirty seconds." Adjutant announces as Raynor got a second factory with an addon reactor and it began to churn out large amounts of hellions.
That a lot of those hellions he's making." Ruby then responds to the rather large number of hellions in the making. In fact, Raynor has already build at least 12 of those vehicles.
"It does make sense Ruby." Blake responds to her leader. "Hellions are fast and from what we had seen already, they can burn the infestation and move on to the next sector in a short time. Raynor would definably seek to maximise the usage of them this mission." Blake said as those near her nodded.
It is Daytime.
'Day 2 6:00'
As the sun rises once again, all the infested that were attacking the camp site began to burn up into ash as everyone in the base began to exit the camp and resume purging the infested. Hellions could be seen driving off the camp itself in one large group and began torching everything that has Zerg biomatter on it. Ariel appeared once again as she gave a reminder to everyone.
"Don't forget you have to be back by dark!" She warned as Raynor's army split up into two groups to cover more ground. Hellions could be seen heading west while the main forces headed east and began to purge it of Zerg infestation. The screen then pans towards the rather large hellion group as all of them began to torch every single infested building in sight and pulling back a distance once the Broodings emerge out of the wreckage before turning them into nothing but ash.
Ariel popped up once again on screen when Raynor's main force purged another sector of infestation. "Looks like that sector is clear, Jim. Better move on to the next one."
Raynor' then did the same and showed up on screen as the hellion group had just finished purging the sector, they're in of infestation. "Alright, this sector is clear! Nice work boys, now move on to the next area!"
It was then that the theatre screen showed both groups purging the infestation much to the surprise of the audience that it just happened, but RGQC assured them that something, the theatre would divide itself up if there's the need to show multiple things happening at once.
"Yea! Burn em! Burn them those zombie things!" Nora cried out as she watched as Raynor's men continue setting everything on fire. Yang on the other hand, watched as Firebats set the infested building alight and she got an idea. What if she were to attach flame throwers to Ember Celica? That sounds like a great idea! Perhaps she could get Ruby to work on it. Or maybe she could borrow one of those suits for a try out.
As for Cinder, at first, she was intrigue by the Zerg but after seeing what that virus could do, she could only wish that she was there to burn them personally. The effects of the Zerg virus were even too much for her and she finds it utterly repulsive. If she were to compare it to the Grimm back at home, the Zerg are worse and would probably just overwhelm everyone back on Remnant if they were to somehow got there.
"You've dealt a serious blow to their numbers, Jim, you're doing great." Ariel could only complement Raynor as Adjutant appeared on screen to give a warning.
"Nightfall in thirty seconds." She said as Raynor's main infantry army retreated back as his hellion group retreated as well, but instead of heading back to base, they headed east and stationed in one of the cleared sectors.
"Hmm… It appears that Raynor seeks to use the hellions to eliminate one of the infesters before retreating back to base." Ozpin observed.
"Is it really wise right now?" Weiss questioned Raynor's choice. "Those hellions are awfully close to one of the infested 'sectors.'"
"Don't worry about its Weiss! What's life without a few risks, eh?" Yang gave a smile back at Weiss as she just stared at her.
"But is it worth it?" Weiss countered."
"Weiss, I'm sure Raynor knows what he is doing." Ruby assured her partner.
It is Nighttime.
'Night 3 4:25'
"Keep your eyes peeled. There's gonna be more of them out there." Raynor then advised his men as the Infestor unborrowed in front of all the hellions and got a face full of fire much to the amusement of everyone.
"Talk about getting fired." Tai joked as pretty much everyone groaned in response except Yang who laughed at it. "No sense of humour." The then mutter to himself.
"Mr Xiao Long, please refrain from making your puns here? Fou hates it." RGQC then spoke as Fou could be seen glaring at Tai.
"Fou!"
Once the Infestor has been thoroughly cooked, all the hellions made their way back into the base as more infested could be seen shambling towards the camp as well as something large that could be seen heading straight towards the camp.
"Did anyone saw something thing in the distance?" Neptune then asked as he got several responses.
"Nope." Hard to see buddy." "There was?" "It's a big boy that's one thing for sure." "Whatever you saw must be bad news." "Ah! Must be a giant zombie thing! Burn it! Burn it to the ground!"
Everyone at the time assumed that this night would be like the previous nights, how could they? Their numbers had been dented with the amount of infested building burned to the ground the previous day, but that change for everyone when suddenly, when the timer for night 3 strikes 1:25, a massive thing could be seen making its way to Raynor's base with pincers as legs. Whatever that thing was, it has boils that extend down its back as its hands were now large claws. It has a face that was clearly human but not anymore, it now possesses massive mandibles that stick out the jaw and its eyes glow with a reddish-orange tint.
Understandably and rightfully so, everyone was horrified at what they just saw. They know that whatever that thing was, it was originally human. But it screams Zerg with all that thick carapace and pulsing sack of something.
"What on bloody Oum is that thing?!" Weiss screaks at the sight of whatever that thing was.
"That thing is an Aberration, they are former Terrans who have undergone extreme mutation from the Zerg hyper-evolutionary virus."
"You- you mean, given time they all will turn into that thing?" Velvet nervously asked as RGQC gave a grim nod.
"Yea. In time. That why the Zerg Virus is dangerous. It just mutates so fast that within a couple of days, you get this abomination."
Nora on the other hand, look really pale as she could be seen clinging onto Ren for comfort until Fou jumped towards Nora in his attempts to calm her down. And it works!
"Fou…" Fou chirped as Nora giggled as played with Fou.
"What the hell is that thing?!" One of the marines yelled out in utter horror.
"Blast it!" A marauder then yelled out as they launch grenades at that thing. Each hit slows the Aberration by a tiny margin but the damage started to pile up from all the firepower until its left arm blew up, then the right arm and finally, the entire torso blew up in a shower of blood and gore. And the Aberration is dead. But things were not calm, the infested were getting more bolder as the hordes continue to grow and advance on the camp.
Things only gotten worse when the barricade to the south suddenly broke when then infested attacked through it. "They've broken through the south barricade! Get some troops down there, now!" Raynor commanded as all the hellions headed towards the destroyed barricade and let out a volley of fire that burned through all the infested, as SCVs could be seen rushing in and start their construction of new bunkers as Tychus popped up.
"Y'know, I think I saw this in a movie once..." He wondered to himself.
"Yea… it does seem familiar with all those zombie movies we've watched." Jaune then wondered to himself.
"Daybreak in thirty seconds." Adjutant alerted Raynor as the sun could be seen rising up. At this point, Raynor had the southern opening secured already with bunkers, and it wasn't long till the sun comes up.
It is Daytime.
'Day 3 6:00'
"Oh hell yes. This is gonna be OUR time alright." Tychus cheered as hellions could be seen exiting the base in such numbers that it caused a traffic jam. Oops. And at the same time, infantry could also be seen moving out and headed east of the camp site to resume where they had stopped the previous day. Hellions could be seen driving by and setting everything on fire while the infantry could also be seen pushing south after purging several sectors of the infested. (At this point I'm getting sick of repeating Raynor or Ariel saying about sectors secure and how they purge the infestation.)
"They are quite efficient in their jobs." Ozpin spoke out as he took a sip of his hot chocolate.
"That we are at an agreement."
A couple of minutes passed before Adjutant appeared once again with an alert. "Nightfall in thirty seconds." And at this point most of the map was cleansed of infestation and only a small number of infested structures remain as expected, the infested numbers were so miniscule that they were clearly dealt with. And it was at this point, Raynor's swarm of hellions left out in the night much to Tychus and the audiences surprise.
"Whoa! That sure pissed 'em off. Maybe we should wait for daylight?" Tychus suggest as the infested buildings seemed to get agitated and started to spawn more infested than usual.
"Going out at night huh? I know that the amount of infested is reduced significantly, but is it wise to still go out?" Coco then asked as RGQC just shrugged.
"Perhaps?" RGQC just shrugged as everyone watched as the hellion found the other Infestor and burned it to a crisp. Before the rest of the army came in and began to deal with the infested directly.
"Seriously, you sure like stirrin' up the hornet's nest!" Tychus pointed out that not even the audience could even deny.
"Just leave the tactics to me Tychus." Raynor assured his partner as Matt then appeared on screen.
"You're almost done! There's just a handful of infested bio-signs left. I'll highlight their locations on your map." And with that, Raynor's men pushed the infested back and they did it. They wiped out the remaining infested buildings as everyone could only let out a sigh of relief.
"It's over." Kali let out a sigh as the final infested building was destroyed. She had to admit, seeing those infested made her instincts scream.
"Yea, I hope we don't see any more of those infested in the future…" Velvet had to admit.
"About that…" RGQC thought.
"You did it, Jim! I knew you wouldn't let us down! Now I've got to get my people somewhere safe." Ariel cried out with joy before Raynor took over.
"Ain't gonna be so easy, darlin'. This whole sector's crawling with Zerg." Raynor pointed out as the camera then panned to show two Hercules transport flying off into the distance.
"There's got to be somewhere out there the aliens haven't touched... some undiscovered paradise waiting just for us." Ariel just remained hopeful for her people as the screen finally darkens for now.
"And we are done with this mission." RGQC placed Fou on his shoulders before letting out a satisfied groan as he stretched his legs. "You guys can go on a break and come back later, I need to go and check on QAI, just to oversee the repairs of my realm after yesterday." RGQC finished off as Fou jumped off his shoulder and ran towards Ruby.
"Fou! Fou!" Fou chirped as he patted against Ruby's legs as she giggles. "Come her you fluffy."
"It appears that Fou wishes to follow you guys on a break." RGQC just smiled as Ruby picked up Fou and carried him.
"He's so fluffy and warm." Ruby commented as Fou began to snuggle against Ruby as the girls of the room began to coo.
"Yea just bring Fou back to the theatre room in one piece, ok?" RGQC made a request as he got nods in return.
"Good. I'll see you all later." And with that, RGQC walked through a portal while everyone else left the theatre room with Fou.
And we are done with this chapter! FINALLY! YEA!
It was honestly mind-numbing forcing myself to push through it after a writer's block a month ago but now I am back baby!
So, now we now have Fou as a guest character and also foreshadowing for my other works. Got a part you enjoyed in this chapter? Feel free to let me know in the reviews.
Just. As. Planned.
Anyways, if you like my work and want to see more of it in the future, favourite and follow this work of mine. If you wish to say anything to me, good or bad. Leave a review. I will answer it if I feel it is relevant.
Other than that, I will see ya guys in the next chapter soon.
RGQC out!
