Hey guys! RGQC back again with another chapter of this story of mine and this time, we're moving onto the Great Train Robbery! Sounds like Torchwick's thing now that I think about it. And also, that time team RWBY fought against Torchwick on the train that crashed and stuff. Besides that, let's move on to the comments!
Zekken182: Well, I think I said in the previous chapter that I can only do that if I were to expand on this story. But that would go against the main purpose of this story… Unless I made a multiverse story after Wings of Liberty. If I get enough support for it as well as confidence that I can do it. But who knows?
J-SECTION-L: Yes, I am a man of culture. You may refer to my other story, Mordred in Remnant as a reference. As for my favourite character/ characters? That would be Mordred, Emiya, Roman/Solomon (does he count?) and several others! Yea, I find outbreak one of the easier missions overall.
FGOFanlover: Fou kicking or punching people? Perhaps…
Ssgtsplatter: Don't worry, while I can't add the whole rivalry between Yang and Neo, I'll make references to it. Zeratul my boi! I'm sure they would enjoy seeing his mission and oh boy! The introduction of the hybrids!
DragonANGL: I have plans to do all the three stories. That means Wings of Liberty, then Heart of the swarm and then finally, Legacy of the Void. Assuming I don't give up on it halfway or something… (Hopefully not.)
Yolo: Hehehe… no spoilers, yes?
Guest: I did mention them in the first mission, after all they saw some Vikings in that. Of course, they were Dominion Vikings but the point still stands.
Biogust.45: We will move on to Heart of the Swarm after Wings ok?
Edboy4926 Thanks!
Guest 2: Perhaps I will not deny that, but I think they would realise how alien their perspective is. I mean, Zagara at one point, tells Kerrigan she feels pity towards the Terrans and their lack of a Hive Mind, that they must feel alone in their minds, so she wants to help them… by assimilating them into the Swarm. Yea… the best part is that she's being sincere and that she does not get what's wrong in her suggestion.
Dakzillama: First of all, yea, there will be other events in the future like the reaper race and Nora being terrified of zombies seemed funny to me, second of all… How the hell did you predict my next mission?! Did you make a visit to my head? Anyways, I'll try and add in more dialogues into this mission.
Sh4dowSt4lker: I do agree on a lore perspective, Outbreak would be indeed terrifying. And I do enjoy some simple missions once in a while. Till then, I'll see you in the next chapter!
HelpingHand: Whether Salem would join the audience? I'm still thinking but probably before HOTS? I still need more time. As for Ariel, well… I won't spoil it.
And we're done with the comments! Now, I will be introducing a new character into this story and Ilia will be the next person to join us! So, clap your hands for a new character to join them!

The Great Train Robbery
As for yet, everyone was currently relaxing in one of RGQC's recreation rooms set up for them. In fact, most of the students were currently in the arcades as well as some of the adults to supervise them after the previous viewing. They also brought Fou alongside them and took turns to hold the adorable fluff ball.
In fact, they were all talking about the race they had earlier and were wondering what other goodies would RGQC let them play with, they were also talking about how Ruby getting used to the jetpacks and coming in first followed by Aries, then Lily, Coco and finally Neo. It was also obvious to everyone that both Yang and Neo were hurling insults at each other and were obviously trying to beat each other in the race. But it ended with Neo just barely ahead of Yang.
After said race, both of them nearly got into a fight between each other and were just barely kept apart as Torchwick, Cinder, Emerald and Mercury took Neo away while Summer, Tai, Ruby and several others had to hold Yang back who threatened to pummel Neo into the ground. Let's just say both of them had to 'apologize' to each other. But not willingly of course.
While the youngsters were having fun, everyone else was currently resting in their separate groups and having a coffee break. During that time, the members of STQ were having a lovely chat while Raven could be seen watching them in the distance. After her talk with the realm lord before the previous view, Raven's head wasn't in the view itself as she was honestly bothered and thought through what he had told her.
Is this the fate that would befall her if she doesn't change? Her pride wanted to refuse to admit it that he's correct but, she can tell from his expression. The realm lord was being sincere about it. And Ozpin. To think that fool made a mistake when asking the Relic of Knowledge that question. She wanted to laugh. Honestly, laugh at how one word alone made it seem that Salem was unkillable.
But if the realm lord was willing to give her a chance to change her fate, then she should take it. Even if she must swallow her pride. If not for herself, then for the people she abandoned. Funny. How it takes one being beyond all comprehension to convince her to change. And she will do it.
With that, Raven made her decision and walked towards her old teammates, unaware that Ozpin and Ironwood were observing her from a distance. As she approached her old team, the tension in the room rose slightly as both Tai and Qrow glanced at Raven with a sense of justified wariness.
"Oh, hey Raven, what brought you here?" Summer was first to ask as she took a sip of coffee. Still as idealistic as ever.
"What brought you here Rae?" Qrow grumbled slightly and he took a swig of alcohol.
"Raven…" Tai mumbled as it was obvious that he was still bitter at Raven for leaving them.
"Both of you enough. Let Raven speak, ok?" Summer asked her old teammates and got a hesitant grunt from Qrow and a silent nod from Tai, who was still staring at Raven.
Raven let out a tired sigh as she sat down on the comfy sofa and spoke. "I… want to apologise to all of you, for leaving you guys."
This got Raven's old teammates to pay attention, after all, she's not well known for apologising back in Beacon and the fact that ever since she joined them, she was distant. Her sudden willingness to talk to them was something they never expected out of her.
"The hell is that supposed to mean sis?" Qrow spoke out first, he knows her the best, for Raven to act this way is completely out of character for her.
"What that means 'brother', is that I've learned that why I ran from you guys was for naught."
"Raven," Tai then stepped in as Raven looked at her ex-husband." What is the true reason for coming back to us now of all places? I want the truth and stop beating around the bush wil-" Tai was stopped when Summer placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Care to tell us about why Raven?" Summer then asked as Tai relented.
Raven let out another sigh as she digested her thoughts, how can she explain it… "While most of the students were having their race, RGQC came to me and informed me of my fate."
"Your fate?" Qrow gave his sister a bewildered look before glancing at his alcohol canteen.
Raven could only nod in response as she continued. "RGQC told me that he'd seen countless realities of me, the majority of which resulted in me dying alone and full of regrets. Or at least, that's according to him." Raven admitted as the rest of her old team looked genuinely shocked. "Why would he tell you this?" Tai then asked, though it was obvious that he's forcing himself to speak to her.
"He believed that I could change, despite what I've done so far. And also, the fact that Ozpin got it wrong about Salem.
"Ozpin's wrong? I don't believe it in the slightest sis." Qrow admitted as he shook his head.
"RGQC told me that Ozpin asked the Relic of Knowledge how he could defeat Salem. It responded that he can't." Raven paused only for Tai to interrupt her.
"Wait! Are you saying that Salem can't be killed?"
"No Tai. What Ozpin should have said is how can Salem be defeated. Apparently, the Relic is extremely literal from what I could guess. And why I left was because I refused to become another piece in Ozpin's impossible war against Salem at first. Until today, when RGQC revealed the truth to me." Raven admitted.
Raven's team could only process what she had said for a while. It was then that Summer spoke first.
"I understand. I'm glad that you're willing to come back to us." She said with a smile, though Qrow protested.
"What?! Summer you can't be serious, she left us all back then and now you're accepting her back in as if all that never happened?"
"I am Qrow, if Raven's willing to come back to us, I'm willing to give her another chance as the leader of STRQ."
That earned a sombre chuckle from Raven as well as a genuine smile. "Funny… Normally I would call you foolish and weak back in Beacon for your views, yet here you are. That very same view of yours defended me despite everything I've done to all of you. Thank you, Summer. For giving me a chance." Raven then bowed as Tai then asked a very important question.
"Raven. Even if you came back and we accepted you, Yang would want some answers. Can you handle it?" That alone causes Raven to hesitate as she glances at Yang playing one of the arcade games with her team.
"I do not know… I've left her since after she was born, will she still love me?" Raven sighed as Summer rested her hand on her shoulder.
"I believe she still does, just give her a chance. I'm sure it won't go wrong." Summer admitted as Raven gave a smile.
"Well sis, dunno bout you but it would take some time for both of us to forgive ya for leaving us like that." Qrow let out a sigh as he muttered out.
"I suppose that would do for now."
It was then that QAI could be heard. [To everyone here, you may come back to the theatre room in 10 minutes from now, please arrive on time for the next viewing.
It didn't take long for everyone to arrive back into the theatre to see RGQC sitting on his chair gazing upon Remnant in his hand, but the most obvious thing was that RGQC now has cat ears on his head. In fact, some might mistake him for a cat Faunus if he were to somehow end up in Remnant.
"Oh, hey RG.Q..C…" Ruby's voice droned out when they all noticed the ears on his head flicking in response.
"Hey guys, what's up?" The realm lord asked as Ozpin then asked for everyone.
"RGQC, if I may ask, why do you have cat ears on your head?"
"Oh, you mean this?" RGQC pointed at the cat ears on his head while the Remnant in his hand dispersed. All he got was a nod as he stood up.
"Right, as you all can see, I now have cat ears, nothing to be bothered about as we realm lords can choose our appearance at will. In this case, I got bored being human and chose to become a cat Faunus." RGQC explained as everyone slowly got into their seats.
"That's… neat." Sun muttered.
"If you think that's neat, check this out." RGQC grinned before he snapped his fingers and in a flash, RGQC now looked a lot like Glynda Goodwitch, glasses and all. "Now students, please be sure to finish your homework by Friday or you are all getting detention." Even RGQC's voice sounded a lot like Glynda before a puff of smoke engulfed him back to normal.
Much to say, everyone was genuinely surprised at what RGQC had done, even Glynda was surprised, he even acted almost exactly like her. Even though she felt insulted for some reason.
"That's so cool! Does that mean that you can become anyone?" Ruby cheerfully asked.
"Yea, if we wish, we can change our looks and gender at will. But for me, I prefer to look like how I always looked when I was alive. Anyways, was Fou a good boy?" RGQC then asked as Weiss spoke up.
"I can assure you that Fou's a good boy. Though he seems to like to cuddle around our chest a whole lot." Weiss' cheeks reddened slightly as she spoke out as RGQC sighed as he shook his head.
"Ah that, Fou's just being a tiny little guy that deceives women with his- UGH!" RGQC couldn't finish his sentence when Fou leaped from Velvet who was holding him, and kicked the realm lord right in the groin. (Ouch…)
"Fou!"
All the boys and men could only winch and cringe as they all watched as RGQC collapsed onto the ground while groaning in pain. Fou then sat on RGQC's back with a frown on his face while chirping angrily and patting him.
"Should have taken your own advice right there about not angering Fou RG." Mercury sniggered as RGQC groaned loudly.
"Not funny Merc! Ow! Ok! Ok! Enough with that Fou! I get it! No mentioning that to everyone here!" The realm lord grumbled as Fou bounced right off him.
"Anyways…" RGQC mumbled as he got up before hobbling towards his chair. "Before we start… Do you guys have any questions?" He asked as he shoved some painkillers (which he summoned) into his mouth.
"Yea. Why were you observing Remnant?" Qrow then asked.
"Well, remember when Fou mentioned that he was in Remnant?" RGQC asked as he got several nods in return.
"Yea well, looks like he met someone who took him along back to Mistral." RGQC continues to explain.
"And who is this 'someone?'"
"Well… from the looks of it, the Knight of rebellion had taken Fou under his wing."
"Knight of rebellion?" Ironwood raised an eyebrow.
"What kind of title is that?" Emerald then asked.
"Probably something that screams betrayal." Neo added in.
"Well… there's more to that but we are getting distracted. I have plans to bring in another person from your world."
"And who would that be RGQC?" Ghira then asked.
"Well…" RGQC muttered as his cat ears twitched. And with that, a portal appeared in front of the theatre before a girl with darker spots on her body as well as a brown hair that is tied up into a ponytail that curls at the end like a chameleon's tail. She could be seen exiting through it before landing on her butt.
"Ow… where am I?" She groaned before she stood up, and looked around. And understandably confused as to where she is.
"Ilia!?" Blake yelled out as Ilia looked at where that voice came from, when she gazed upon her old friend, her skin turned red, and her hair, eyes and skin spots turned yellow much to the surprise of everyone as her face changed to one of rage.
"Is she a Faunus?" Jaune whispered to his partner who nodded back.
"I believe so. I think she's a chameleon Faunus..."
"Blake?! The hell is going on?! And where am I?!" Ilia demanded as RGQC coughed into his hand.
"Ilia Amitola, if you please turn around, I can explain what's going on."
Ilia then turned around as RGQC could be seen munching on some fish balls on a stick while his cat ears occasionally flicker. "Who are you?" Ilia asked as she brandished her weapon as everyone in the theatre tensed up.
"I am RGQC, but allow me to explain to you what's going on."
(After one explanation later…)
Ilia was silent throughout the RGQC's talk as he made it clear that any aggressive actions would result in her having a splitting headache, though it was obvious she wanted to have a proper talk with Blake, though in her heart, she hated the fact that Blake left the Fang for whatever the reason. But as RGQC finished his explanation, the theatre door opened up as Lily could be seen walking in.
"Hey guys! Is RGQC still...here…" Lily's eyes seem to widen dramatically as soon as her gaze landed on Ilia specifically.
Next thing everyone knew, Lily leapt quite a distance from where she was and landed next to Ilia before giving the chameleon Faunus a joyous bear hug. "Aunt Ilia!" Lily cried out with absolute joy as she began to laugh cheerfully despite the fact that this Ilia is not her Ilia back at home.
"Hey! Did you just call me aunt?! And stop hugging me! You're crushing me!" Ilia cried out as Lily let her hug loose as Blake then asked out in surprise. The Belladonna parents also show interest since it's obvious that Lily knows Ilia.
"You know Ilia where you're from?"
"Yea! Ilia, where I'm from, is the head spymaster and leader of the MIA, which basically in long terms stands for The Menageriean Intelligence Agency. She visited us once in a while when we were younger and taught me, Gladiolus and Chrysan survival skills as well as other useful stuff whenever father or mom were busy running the kingdom."
"Is that so… Why an Intelligence Agency of all things though? It doesn't make sense for Menagerie to have one." Ghira then asked as Lily continued.
"Well at first, father mainly used it to spread pro-Faunus equality propaganda among the other kingdoms," This earned massive WHAT from the adult audience as none of them knew that Lily's father was willing to use underhanded tactics to do good. His goal is not wrong to say, but the way he achieves it irks the adults the wrong way.
"But later on, it was mostly for counter-ops, so don't worry about it." Lily waved it off as Ilia then spoke.
"So, you're Blake's daughter."
"An alternative daughter, yes. But I shouldn't take any more of your time. RGQC, do you have a swimming pool somewhere? Oh, and what's with the cat ears?" Lily confirmed before asking the realm lord.
"Seriously, you're reminding me a whole lot of dad with those ears you have. Then again, you're the same person. Sorta."
"I do, in fact, I also have an interior surfboarding facility as well as a beach. Why do I have cat ears? I got bored." RGQC shrugged.
"Oh! A beach? That sounds awesome!" Ruby cheered as one of the androids appeared beside RGQC.
"Follow this android, it will take you to the pool, there's also all types of swim gear and costumes for your choosing." RGQC continued as Lily nodded.
"Cool, see you guys later! Oh, and Ilia," Lily then walked close to Ilia and whispered into her ear. "I'd recommend you to talk to mom later, and don't get angry at her please, just find the answer out from her. For now, just enjoy the show." With that, Lily walked off and left the theatre room as Ilia, still unsure, sat near the Belladonna elders while occasionally glancing at Blake.
"We should begin soon but first." RGQC snapped his fingers and like before, Ilia's eyes glowed white as they got their minds implanted with what had happened in the past viewing. With that, relaxed onto his chair before he noticed that Raven is much closer to her old teammates than usual.
"It appears that my talking with her is bearing fruit. Excellent." And with that, the screen lights up to show the epilogue for the previous mission.
Although the refugees from Agria have been saved, they're homeless once again. Dr. Hanson is determined to found a new colony. The problem is... where?
"Where I wonder…" Glynda hummed as she took a sip of tea.
"Hopefully somewhere safer and away from danger." Ironwood added in.
"About that…" RGQC thought to himself as the screen lit up again.
Hyperion Cantina
11:15 Shipboard Time
The screen then lights up to show the UNN news network starting to play.
- KMC denies responsibility for refugee massacres - Estimated war dead in the billions - 1st fleet engage Zerg in Sara system - Core worlds fortified - This is UNN with Donny Vermillion -
"What… billions dead already?" Blake could only be horrified at the number of casualties. That same horror is also permeating to everyone else as well. Then Torchwick has to point it out.
"And many more unaccounted for. And with how Mengsk runs it, they could be actively silencing those who disagree against him."
"As much as I don't want to admit it, Torchwick's right. There could be many more that the Dominion is willing to hide." Qrow pointed out as grumblings could be heard as the screen continued on.
"Thanks for joining us. Our own Kate Lockwell is reporting live from the refugee ship Skynyrd II, in orbit around the planet Meinhoff." Donny started out before the TV then cut to show Kate who spoke next.
"Donny, the death toll out here is soaring. Massive refugee fleets like this one are struggling to reach the safety of the core worlds. Many of them won't. They're short on food, water and hope-" Kate didn't manage to say what she needed to say before Donny cut her off much to the distaste of the audience.
"Still surprised that no one is questioning them at all." Yang mutters out as her partner then takes over.
"They probably have some, but Mengsk is silencing them."
"Fair point." Yang conceded.
"Kate, we'll discuss how the Dominion will rescue those worlds when we get there!" Donny decided to change the topic only for Kate to talk about the refugees.
"There's a lot of talk about rescue among the refugees, but they are pinning their hopes on para-military and rebel groups such as Raynor's Rai-" And like before, she was cut out once again. Though the audience is getting used to it happening.
"I swear, I think Donny's table has a button that would cancel Kate out, I mean, he keeps cutting her out as soon as she says anything that paints Raynor in a good light." Sun joked as Neptune took over.
"Yea, that sounds about right."
"Great report Kate! Live from a refugee ship over Meinhoff, where everyone eagerly awaits the Dominion's return. Up next, a Vermillion commentary: refugees, are they really our responsibility?" Donny then questions as the screen cuts to Raynor watching the broadcast.
"First, asskisser. Next, talk about not taking responsibility for your own people."
"You're all heart, Donny." Raynor snarked as Tosh could be seen resting his hands on the railing as a red hologram of a 'dancer/stripper?' could be seen dancing behind him.
"Huh, so Tosh hangs out in the Cantina?" Coco asked.
"And watches everyone like a hawk from an elevated room." Velvet was next.
"Spooky…" Fox then muttered out as his team chuckled.
"A hologram dancer… Never seen that before." Torchwick muttered to himself.
"Those colonists sure do have some Zerg troubles." Tychus then spoke as he took a swig of alcohol.
"Let's hope it's the last of their troubles." Raynor could only hope that it was true before he stood up and walked up the stairs towards Tosh. After all, he's curious what his resident renegade Ghost has to say.
"What do ya' think of Dr. Hanson?" Raynor asked.
"She's a lovely thing. Full o' honey, that one. At least that's what she want you to think." Tosh pointed out.
"You mean that Ariel is hiding something? But she only wants what's best for her people!" Ruby argued.
"But perhaps that's what she wants you to believe red. After all, people all hide their hidden intentions from those they don't wish to know. I know it personally." Torchwick then gave his thoughts as several of the youngsters glared at him. Though, team STRQ gave a subtle glance at Ozpin.
"You think she's hiding something?" Raynor then prodded Tosh some more.
"You ever wonder why the Zerg hit her world so fast? Something there they want. Something made o' honey maybe? Buzzin' little bees…" Tosh gave his cryptic talk as Raynor walked off as the screen darkens.
"He does have a point, despite how cryptic he is." Tai then hummed.
"But the question is why the Zerg attacked Ariel if that's the case." Summer then added in.
The next scene shown as the screen lights up again to show Raynor talking to Swann in the Armoury.
"Never thought we'd be back on Meinhoff again." Swan gave a fast groan before continuing on. "Ugh. We broke our backs tryin' to make a life on that rock... Kel-Morians squeezing us dry. 'Day we rose up... we just couldn't take it anymore, y'know?"
"Interesting, so he originates from Meinhoff." Ozpin hummed.
"And these Kel-Morians treated them poorly till they rose up?"
"Similar to Faunuses stuck to toil in those damn Schnee mines in Atlas." Ilia gave a subtle glare at Weiss and Winter.
"I feel ya'. Man's got a duty to stand up and be counted sometimes." Raynor assured his chief engineer.
"Ah hell, we were stupid. Havin' right on your side ain't no match for gauss guns and combat walkers. Lotta' folks died for nothin'. If you hadn't shown up when you did…" Swann was about to continue rambling on, only for Raynor to stop him.
"How badly were they treated that theKel-Morians used violence to suppress them?"
"It wasn't like that all the time, before that, Swann opened a mining operation on Meinhoff at considerable cost, but he enjoyed initial success due to the ever-increasing taxes. When he tried to lodge a complaint to the Kel-Morian Combine officials, nothing was done because those officials in Meinhoff were also bribed to do nothing about it." RGQC gave a pause for the audience to digest what he had said before continuing on.
"As a result of that, Swann started a miner's revolt to claim independence from the Combine. However, Combine forces arrived and mercilessly crushed the revolt. Swann himself lost an arm, along with many friends, and was only saved because Raynor's Raiders responded to their distress signal." RGQC explained.
"So that's why he has a clawed hand…" Ren muttered out.
"But now he has a power claw as a replacement!" Nora countered.
"This Kel-Morian Combine, are they another Terran faction?" Ironwood then asked.
"They are a Terran business conglomerate that are split into guilds. Each guild's leader is democratically elected, but once in that position, they are difficult to dislodge. The Terran Confederacy claimed the Combine's guild leaders were chosen through heredity, and family retainership was an acknowledged part of life. Each member of Kel-Morian society belongs to an occupational guild."
"Their governments are basically businesses working together? How does that work?" Qrow then asks as RGQC just shrugs.
"Governments are weird."
"So basically the Schnees but worse." Ilia scoffed but neither Weiss nor Winter chose to speak up. The idea of their father running the government sent chills up their spines. In fact, it sounds like something he would probably do.
"Hey, your people bought their own freedom - paid for it in blood. Me and Matt, we were just glad to help." Raynor assured his buddy who nodded back at him as he left the room.
"Aww no upgrades?" Ruby pouted as Weiss sighs.
"You're just here to see the weapons and their upgrades huh?"
"Yea! I mean, are you not impressed by some of their weapons?" Ruby then asked Weiss for her opinion.
"I will neither confirm nor deny that statement." Weiss stated flatly.
Raynor arrived at the Laboratory to see that Ariel was not present in it. She must be with Matt back on the bridge, as he looks at the research panel, the camera pans towards the Zerg specimen that has clearly gotten larger than before. Its twin tentacles have grown much larger as well as the middle green part of it continues to pulse with life.
"Ugh… That thing grew bigger." Coco shuttered as an audible beep could be heard from Pietro as he could be seen reading the entries.
"Pietro, what have you found out from those entries?" Ironwood then asked as several of the audiences could be seen talking out a piece of paper.
"It appears that the specimen has a motor function despite the lack of anything like a neural cortex, and it's giving off more heat than it could possibly be absorbing in that tank. I wonder… Does that mean that the Zerg overall has a higher metabolic system?" Pietro could only wonder to himself when Penny joins in.
"It is a possible explanation father, since the Zerg are shown to evolve and change at such rapid speeds, it is possible that they need that high metabolic rate to perform their task!" Pietro nodded back before he continued.
"Stetmann has also discovered how they burrow. They have billions of tiny muscles that vibrate at a low frequency, effectively loosening soil, crumbling rock, and snapping vegetation. With it, they can 'swim' through the ground. Still not as fast as walking but close."
"So that's how they burrow. I wonder if we could implement it somehow." Winter hummed.
"Swimming through the ground? That might be an interesting idea for Grimm." Cinder wondered.
Raynor then could be seen observing the panel before leaving the Laboratory as the screen goes dark for a couple of seconds before lighting up to show Raynor having a conversation with Ariel.
"Well Ariel, found a world for your people yet?" Raynor asked as Ariel confirms it.
"Yes!" Ariel responded back in an almost excited tone. "An unclaimed planet called Haven. It's near the edge of protoss space, but it seems safe enough."
"Haven? I believe that there's a sense of symbolism for that kind of name for a planet." Ozpin hummed as he took a sip of his hot chocolate.
"Ozpin? What do you mean?" Qrow then asked.
"Haven means a place of safety or refuge. It's symbolic of Ariel's people finding refuge in a new world. Or it represents them finding sanctuary from the Zerg."
"Ever wise as always Ozpin." Summer added in. It reminds her that Ozpin can be wise. Sometimes.
"It'll have to do. Your people need to lay low for a while." Raynor advised Ariel as Matt butt in with an actual concern that neither of them is talking about.
"Aren't either of you worried the colonists might be infested?"
"But didn't they deal with the infestation in the previous mission?" Nora pointed out as Penny came into the conversation.
"This is true friend Nora. But if my theory is correct, and the Zerg virus is similar to most other viruses we've encountered before, that would mean that it has an incubation period which could result in asymptomatic carriers." Penny explained.
This caused everyone else to pale at the thought that, yes some of the refugees may have the virus in them. They'll just never realise it until it's too late.
"Let's just hope that they are all completely clean." Robyn stated as everyone nodded.
"Why does Penny know this kind of stuff? Isn't she a huntress in training?" Yang whispered out as Weiss shrugged.
"Could be her interactions with her dad, who is after all a scientist in Atlas."
Ariel, understandably furious at the thought of her people being infested by the Zerg virus, argued back. "How could you even suggest that? They're perfectly healthy!"
"I hope so, Ariel. The protoss don't mess around when it comes to infestation. Just in case, maybe you should start looking into some kind of cure for the Zerg virus."
"Isn't that a bit of an overreaction? To attack the colony over a Zerg infestation?" Neptune then asked out.
"May I remind you, the first contact the Terrans had with the Protoss was them glassing one of their planets that had a Zerg problem. So yes. They really hate the Zerg that much." RGQC stated as his ears twitched as Fou could be seen sitting on his lap.
"Oh…"
"Conventional wisdom says a cure is impossible - the virus mutates too fast. But I'll look into it."
"Just do what you can. That's all anyone's askin'." Raynor assured her before he turned towards Matt who spoke up to him.
"Sounds like a waste of time if you were to ask me." Mercury stated his thoughts on the matter.
"Better than not doing anything at all." Ruby countered as several nodded in agreement as Mercury scoffed.
"Kerrigan's learning some new tricks. The infestation on Meinhoff seemed particularly... virulent." Matt pointed out as Raynor spoke next.
"It's about the worst thing I can imagine - losing who you are like that, all the while being slowly twisted into a damn monster."
This earned shivers throughout the audience as the memory of the previous mission appeared in their heads.
"If any of Dr. Hanson's people on Haven are infested…" Matt then expressed his concerns over the Protoss which Raynor understood.
"I know - it's just a matter of time before the protoss come looking for them. Still, I have a history with the protoss. If it comes to that, maybe I can talk 'em down." Raynor reassured Matt as Ariel could be heard speaking behind him.
"He has one?" Mercury then asked as RGQC answered him.
"Yea, years back, Raynor worked with several Protoss on Char followed by the defence of Aiur. The Protoss home world before it fell. At first, there was tension between his men and the Protoss but it then grew into an alliance to repel the Zerg. Heck, he even earned their respect as an equal. A feat not many Terrans could say the same." RGQC explained.
"I'm working on a cure for the Zerg virus. I just hope my people won't need it."
"Yea… hopefully." Yea tried to remain optimistic that Ariel's people are fine, though those who were more cynical like Qrow believed that there might be an infested colonist on board the ships. If that's the case, the Protoss would be on the move to purge the infestation.
Raynor gazes upon the console as Matt activates the map which shows only two planets. "Sir, where is our next destination?" Matt asked as he selected the planet of Tarsonis as Matt explained next to him.
"We've received reports of a new Dominion salvage operation on Tarsonis. They're running a large number of supply trains with minimal security. If we intercept the trains and liberate their contents before they can be shipped off-world, we could make a serious profit." Raynor could be seen nodding his head, getting additional profits would indeed be helpful in the rebellion.
"Soo... train robbery?" Sun asked as RGQC nodded back.
"Right."
"Matt, we're going to Tarsonis." Raynor ordered Matt though he frowned at the thought of returning to that place.
"Understood sir." Matt replied as the screen went dark.
"Tarsonis. The Confederacy's capital before Mengsk unleashed the Zerg upon it. How detestable." Ironwood stated.
"I know they probably deserve it but damn, they're really going back to that graveyard? The hell they're gonna find over there?" Torchwick then asked as Neo then joined in.
"Probably something worthwhile? Reminds me of our time robbing Lien off rich businesses."
That caused Torchwick a chuckle or two. "Yup brings me back."
The screen lights up to show both Matt and Raynor looking at the screen as he asked.
"Never thought we'd be back to this graveyard again. What've we got, Matt?" Raynor asked as the screen on the ship pans over a massive city ruin followed by a sight of a Dominion base as well as train tracks.
"Damn, hearing about it is way different from seeing the damage brought over." Tai mumbled.
"And many more dead." Qrow added in.
"The Dominion's restored power to the old rail network." Matt explained as a train could be seen appearing out of the tunnels, one thing that was noticeable to the audience is that the trains were floating above ground as thrusters could be seen on the train itself keeping it floating.
"Floating Trains! Choo! Choo!" Nora yelled out before she started making train noises much to the confusion of everyone. Except Ren who sighed.
"Yes there are floating trains over there Nora."
"CHOO! CHOO!"
Matt then continued. "They're using the trains to move salvage to a central processing station. Our informants say the Dominion's found something unusually valuable - and they're transporting it to the processing station today."
"Unusually valuable? Must be important if they are willing to find it in such wreckage of a planet." Torchwick pointed out.
"But what did they find? Can't be wealth, could it be information?"
"Could be a super weapon." Ruby decided to throw a hat into it.
"Or some important tech!" Penny added in.
The screen then blinked to show the train leaving the operation area as Matt continued to explain to Raynor. "It's on one of these trains - but unfortunately they're all scan-shielded so we can't tell which one. We'll have to hit as many as we can and hope we get lucky." Raynor could only act surprised, Matt isn't one to rely on luck for victory.
"Great, so we can't tell what each train is carrying? We have to destroy them all just to find this thing valuable to them?" Yang could only grumble about it. After all, huntsman and huntresses are not raiders.
"Feels like we're the bad guys for doing it." Ruby whispered.
"Hey on the bright side red, they're doing it on someone who deserves it." Torchwick joked about it.
"Shouldn't I feel insulted at what he just said to me?" Ruby asked as her team just shrugged. Ilia on the other hand, was reminded of how the White Fang had to raid Schnee trains for dust and supplies.
"'Hope we get lucky?' That ain't the usual Matt Horner plan!" Raynor pointed out as Matt could only look at his commander and ask back.
"You got a better one, sir, I'm all ears."
"It's all good, Matt. You sold me. Well, let's go rob ourselves some trains. Ol' Tychus is gonna love this one!" Raynor, realising that this is what they got to do, agrees with Matt's plan before walking off as the screen darkens.
"So just keep destroying trains and hope to get lucky?" Qrow then asked as RGQC nodded.
"Yup."
"Speaking of which, where's QAI? He has been quiet the whole time." Yang then asked.
"QAI is busy with some assignments I've asked him to do. There's no need to worry about it." The realm lord waved Yang off as the screen lights up.
The screen then lights up to show Raynor's base on the hills that has a Factory as well as a Barracks and four marines that could be seen running off the base to find mineral or gas pallets to collect.
"Oh cool. Now he has a Factory." Sun pointed out.
"Now that I think about it, Raynor's probably going to get a new vehicle for this mission." Neptune then pointed out.
"What made ya say that?" Coco then asked.
"Well, since they're going to be robbing trains, it would only make sense for Raynor to get a unit or vehicle that would allow him an easier time to deal with those trains."
"That's… true." Weiss admitted.
At the same time, a timer appeared on the screen that displayed the time before the first train.
First Train 2:00
"Two minutes till the first train arrives? I guess that's enough time to set up a base…" Velvet mumbled.
While all that was under way, Matt appeared on screen when his sensors detected something of use. "Sir, it turns out there are a few Confederate vehicles in the hills the Dominion haven't salvaged yet…" As he said that, the screen pans towards a unique vehicle that doesn't have wheels at all. It also has twin Eviscerator rail guns attached on top of it.
"What kind of vehicle is that?" Ironwood raised an eyebrow.
"Wait for it…" RGQC just held his finger up as Swann appeared on screen.
"Diamondbacks! Man, I didn't think they made it past prototyping! Their rail guns'll be great for stopping those trains...no pun intended." This got both Tai and Yang to give a short chuckle at the unintended pun as Swann continued. "I'll upload their schematics to our Factory network."
"Diamondbacks? What made them special?" Winter then asked.
"Diamondbacks are fast hover tanks that can fire at ground targets while moving. Helpful when you need to chase after trains."
"Did you just say hover tanks?! That's so cool!" Ruby jumped at the implications.
"Of course, due to it hovering over ground, it can't really use big and heavy guns or else the recoil would send it flying. So, they use Eviscerator rail guns which are lightweight, and able to be fired by diamondbacks while they move." RGQC continued.
"Fascinating." Pietro muttered.
"There may be other vehicles around that we can commandeer. We should keep our eyes open." Matt advises as the screen then shows a driver making his way towards the abandoned Diamondback before getting into the cockpit. It wasn't long till the vehicle was activated as it began to hover over the ground and head back to Raynor's base.
At the same time, the Factory could be seen building more Diamondbacks based on the fact that lights could be seen inside it. A marine could be seen carrying Zerg bones samples he had gotten from the south as he grumbled next to a couple of other marines. "I can't believe the commander is ordering me to carry bones back…"
"Chill lax will ya? At least you're not carrying entire pallets full of minerals." Another marine argued back.
"Or Gas." Another one added in.
"Can't we use those Diamondbacks to drag them back? It would be less bothersome for us, and it would be faster."
"Eh… I'll let the boss know."
It wasn't long till Adjutant appeared on screen to give an alert. "A train is approaching through a tunnel in the northwest." The screen then showed a train leaving a rather defended dominion base.
"So that's the train... Why is it undefended?" Neo pointed and yes. The train doesn't have any guards.
"Might be because the Dominion were not aware of Raynor yet. But no doubt that would change after the first train." Torchwick then told his henchwoman.
"Mhm... mhm... What?" The screen then delves into one of the Diamondback cockpit to show a man in a suit as well as some sort of head gear that covers the head except for the mouth and lower jaw. Said man rested his right hand on the side of his helmet before a sly grin appeared on his face.
"My pleasure. Diamondbacks, let's rob a train!" He commanded as the screen pulled out to show all the Diamondbacks leaving the base and intercept the train. Rail guns could be seen firing onto the trains while following it. Each rail gun shot tore holes into the train itself and before long, the entire train exploded due to constant damage it took.
"Well, there goes the train… What happened to stopping them?" Robyn then asked with a raised eye.
"Well… that train ain't stopping anytime soon, so they got to destroy it yea? Besides, I doubt the Dominion would just stop the train and let them take it." Qrow then pointed out as the dust clears away on the screen.
What's left among the train wreckage were pallets of minerals and gas that the Dominion was planning to take away.
"Huh, it was carrying supplies. That would be helpful." Torchwick then hummed as crews could be seen moving in to salvage the scrap of the train.
In the meantime, several marines arrived while carrying chains with a hook on the end of it, they could then be seen attaching the chains to the resource pallet while also attaching it to the Diamondback itself. Once done, the Diamondbacks drove back to Raynor's base with the pallets in tow.
"That's convenient." one of the marines mumbled out as they watched over several workers begin to collect the remains of the train as scrap. At the same time, Matt appeared on screen once again.
"Excellent work, sir. We can utilize the train's scrap payload to build more units." He then took a small pause before he voiced an issue. "We obviously won't find many natural mineral fields here, so we should make the most of what we can salvage from the trains."
"Well guess Raynor's got to manage his resources." Jaune commented as several others nodded in agreement. At the same time, the timer showed that the next train was coming in the next minute.
"One minute till the next train. Not a lot of time but I'm sure he can prepare it." Ghira then mumbled as he landed his gaze on Ilia. There's got to be a reason why RGQC brought her here. Besides her obvious ties to her daughter, there's also the fact that she's White Fang.
"I'm sure it should be fine." Kali agreed.
In the meantime, a group of marines could be seen walking back into the base with more Zerg bones with them. Another key notice was the presence of bunkers with some men inside it, as well as another factory being built. With some time left, several more Diamondbacks could be seen arriving into the base which give hints that Raynor was busy reclaiming more abandoned Diamondbacks.
"Oh, look more Diamondbacks!" Ruby pointed out as Weiss then asked.
"How many more Diamondbacks are left RGQC?"
"Well…" RGQC then pulled out a tablet and began to read it. "There's still one more abandoned Diamondback left to man."
"And what about the Zerg samples we saw the Marines carrying back to the Command Centre?" Pietro then joined in.
"One more Zerg sample left in this mission." And with that RGQC kept the tablet as Pietro nodded back at him.
It wasn't long till the next alert came in from Adjutant "A train is coming through the western tunnel." The camera then pans towards the train leaving the tunnels and there's much more, several Dominion Marines and Firebats could be seen leaving their post and began to escort the train much to no one's surprise.
"Looks like they are now worried, and began to send escorts to accompany the train" Cinder hummed as the screen continued.
"Check it out Jimmy, Dominion's started sending escorts to protect the trains." Tychus appeared on screen to point it out as the train slowly moved right as the Diamondbacks showed up in a group of 12. They then came in from the north and struck the train and its escorts.
"Incoming raiders! Defend th-!" One of the Dominion marines barely managed to sound the alarm only for him to take a rail gun shot to the face, instantly killing him. His fellow escorts were also quickly dispatched and the poor Firebats were eviscerated as they blew up when the flammable gas in their suits ignited.
Most of the audience could only get squeamish at the sights of those escorts getting blasted and were genuinely horrified when the Firebat escorts blew up. But due to them being exposed to blood in the last couple of missions, they could only realise how dangerous Terran weapons are. Some even wonder how dangerous Protoss weapons would be if that's the case.
As the escorts were quickly taken out, the Diamondbacks then turned their turrets onto the train and like before, it was torn to shreds. Only faster now. And like the previous train, this one was carrying more mineral and gas pallets. They too were towed back to base as SCVs could be seen moving in and patching the Diamondbacks up.
However, it appears that the Dominion didn't like that as Matt appeared on screen to give an urgent warning. "Commander, I'm picking up increased comm-traffic from the Dominion. Sounds like they're planning to attack our base. We better be ready."
"As expected, they would eventually launch an attack on Raynor's base." Ironwood mumbled.
"And I'm confident that he can hold it out sir." Winter agreed with her general as Raynor could be seen calling in support as four rounded cylinders could be seen coming down before letting out some War Pigs to help out.
"Oh look! It's those war piggys!" Nora points it out as chuckles could be heard.
"War piggys?" Sun chuckled out loud.
It wasn't long till the Dominion attack forces reached his base from the south. What was notable was the presence of two dropships in the air as well as some walkers and Firebats. But before anyone could do or say anything, Ruby yelled out.
"PAUSSEEEEE! I saw new stuff!" Ruby yelled out as she pointed straight at both the walkers as well as the two ships in the air that had the medics symbol for some reason.
"Ruby, I did mention, watch your voice, did I?" Weiss asked inquisitively as Ruby could only give a nervous chuckle.
"Ok, I'll explain it to you guys." RGQC said as he picked Fou up and placed him on the floor before standing up. "The walker you see on the screen is called a Goliath and it functions more like a support walker as it has both anti-air missiles as well as an autocannon for ground units. Think of it more like a smaller Atlesian Paladin with less guns but more supportive capabilities in a fight." RGQC explained that the sound of scribbling could be heard.
"Next is the Medivac or as in its full name, the G-226 medical transport. Think of it like your bullhead's, except this one can heal like a medic. Of course, the one you're seeing on screen is quite high up. Ships are quite big for their size. Heck, they can even carry tanks in them." RGQC explained as the Atlestians could be seen writing it down.
"A dropship that can heal… that's quite versatile indeed." Ozpin admitted as he took a sip.
"Besides that, time to resume." RGQC finished off as he sat down. And with that, the entire screen resumed.
Both sides exchanged fire though but it was obvious which side won since Raynor just overwhelmed them with Diamondbacks due to the fact that Firebats and Goliath armour were shredded from rail gun fire. In the end the Medivac decided wisely to pull back despite the best efforts to keep the Firebats in tip top shape.
"There goes those Medivacs, they will be back for sure." Robyn stated as Fou could be seen wandering among the audience and receiving head pats and cuddles.
SCVs could be seen leaving the mineral line and making their way to repair the bunkers as well as the Diamondbacks who took some damage. When they were done repairing, Adjutant appeared once again to give an alert that another train was exiting the tunnels.
"A train is exiting the southern tunnel." She stated as all the Diamondbacks headed south but up a ramp and into a Dominion squad watching over the last available Diamondback as well as some more mineral pallets. As they cleared it of hostiles a person could be seen entering the cockpit of the last Diamondback as marines could be seen picking up the pallets.
"And there's the last of the available Diamondbacks in this mission." Ren nodded to himself as Fou could be seen playing with Nora beside him.
"Looks like we found all the Confederate Diamondbacks, Sir. This should really help out against the trains." Matt said as he appeared on screen as the screen followed the Diamondbacks towards the train that now has a larger escort consisting of the previous escort with the addition of marauders.
"Looks like they're now bringing marauders into this fight. Those units are going to deal significant damage to those Diamondbacks." Ironwood observed.
"Your correct general. As we know from an earlier viewing, marauders are good at dealing with armoured units. And Diamondbacks are armoured, so those punisher grenades would tear through that hull of it." This earned nods among the audience as the screen resumed.
"Enemy raiders are here! Frag 'em!" one of the marauders yelled out before he was instantly blasted by rail guns that also pierced through his suit. And like before, the escorts fell to the rather large group of Diamondbacks before turning their guns onto the train itself.
The train then blew up like before and left behind several pallets of resources which the Diamondbacks quickly towed back to base. Several marines, marauders and medics could be seen also present and also began to gather the Zerg samples near the railway.
While that was going on, Matt appeared on screen to give a warning. "The Dominion are constructing a series of bunkers to protect the tracks. Be careful."
"It appears that they have begun to fortify the railways." Penny pointed out as enthusiastic as ever.
"Then it is wise to strike those bunkers first before they could garrison their men inside of it. If not, Raynor's going to have a tougher time dealing with those trains."
"That is indeed a wise idea Jaune, that's why Ozpin chose you as our leader." Pyrrha smiled and gave her approval of the idea as all the Diamondbacks could be seen back at Raynor's base and in the middle of getting repaired.
"A train is coming through the western tunnel." Adjutant then announced out loud as Raynor's army moved out to intercept it. Though his forces were split into two, one which was just Diamondbacks, and the other is a mixture of marine marauder combo with medics.
"He's doing a pincer attack on the escorts, not a bad idea." Ironwood hummed.
As they pushed towards the train, everyone could notice that now the escort had Goliath and another new ship that could be seen in the sky. In fact, its overall design seemed to boggle their minds, the ship itself has massive fins that gives it stability and the fact that it doesn't have a cockpit.
"What kind of aircraft is that?" Ghira then asked as RGQC stood up to explain it while Fou could be seen cuddling Kali.
"That is a Raven." This earned eyebrows as all looked like the local bandit as RGQC chuckled. "Not that kind of Raven but it has the same name as her, so I can understand the confusion. The main point is that the ship is a support unit that assists in battle, it can detect cloaked or borrowed enemies as well as deploy assistance to the army below." RGQC explained as the Raven suddenly launched a spikey ball that had a laser pointed at one of the Diamondbacks.
"Get me outta here!" The Diamondback driver that was marked cried out as he began to drive away from the main group as the ball began to follow him much to the confusion of everyone.
"Is that a boom boom?" Nora asked as sniggers could be heard.
"Yes… More accurately, that is a Seeker Missile, a missile that is released by the Raven as an attack. It takes at least 4 seconds to charge up, but once it does that, it rapidly approaches the target marked by it. If the target fails to get away, the missile explodes for massive damage and collateral as well. Though if the target gets far enough, the missile fizzes out and falls to the ground harmlessly."
"Why though? That seems really unnecessary for an unrelenting missile." Penny then states.
"Eh, I suspect that it has a limited range before the interior systems of the missile fail." RGQC shrugged as the screen resumed.
(At this point, your's truly is getting sick of repeating it. But guess I'll continue but there will be slight cuts.)
And like the previous trains, it went down relatively quickly after it's escorts were taken care of. Oh, and the Diamondback that was chased by a seeker missile came back relatively fine. They then returned to their base to get patched up by SCVs, at the same time Raynor's base had grown substantially.
Now he has bunkers filled with men guarding the entrances as well as two Factories constantly churning out more Diamondbacks, though it was obvious that the mineral fields that Raynor originally had, were running dry.
"It appears that he's running out of resources based on the size of those mineral fields. Better find more or else there won't be enough for his forces." Fox observed while sipping on some juice.
Hilariously enough, a Dominion assault came from the top and was rather quickly put down due to the number of Diamondbacks Raynor had, as well as the defences he'd set up in anticipation for an attack. It wasn't long till the next train was announced. "A train is approaching through a tunnel in the northwest."
"Talk about foresight." Sun chuckled as his partner joined in.
"Or he saw that would happen eventually. I'm leaning towards the latter."
Raynor's army then descended upon the escorts following the trains and then destroyed it and gathered the mineral and gas pallets left behind, though things aren't smooth as it was as Matt appeared on screen to give a warning.
"Sir, I'm detecting Dominion kill teams patrolling the tracks with large groups of Marauders. I'll mark their location with a red warning symbol. Still, you should try to avoid them." Matt explained as the camera pans towards a rather large number of marauders that had left the base and began to patrol around the tracks in search of Raynor's forces.
But as the Adjutant gave another alert as to the next train, everyone noticed that this train that had left the tunnel, had no escorts! Instead, it looked like they strapped the train with massive thrusters on the front of the train as it spewed out blue flames.
"It appears they're trying a different tactic to get the trains across." Ozpin observed as Penny joined in.
"That is true headmaster! From what I can guess, only Diamondbacks could keep up with it, the rest of Raynor's army would not be able to reach it or deal damage to it before it flees."
"So basically they are trying to get it out of there before Raynor can hit it?" Yang then asked.
"Correct friend Yang!"
"The Dominion're boosting their trains' speed somehow! You'll need to use Diamondbacks to catch them." Swann points it out as Raynor's men arrived at the tracks to intercept the train, it proved too fast for Raynor's infantry before it zipped right passed them at such speed that none of them had a chance to do some actual damage. Only the Diamondbacks can keep up with it and destroy it.
"Man, those things move fast! Good thing the boss got tons of those Diamondbacks." A marine voiced his thoughts as they all returned back to base for resupply.
Another train soon arrived with the same idea but it too was gunned down much faster, as Raynor's men knew what to expect from it. But at this point some of the audiences were getting annoyed that this mission is just repeating itself. (Or at least, that's how I felt about it.)
"How much more do we have to watch trains blowing up again?" Weiss asked RGQC who was playing with his cat ears.
"Not long, if I'm right, the next train would be the last one."
"Yea. I need to use the toilet soon." Pyrrha then voiced her needs as her cheeks flared up. Due to the fact that she tried a mocktail and had several glasses of it.
"Understandable."
As the last train exited the tunnel, Tychus pointed out something different about it. "Looks like the Dominion ran outta whatever they were juicing the trains with. They're putting out bigger escorts though, we better watch ourselves." And true to his words, the train has a massive escort that dwarfs the previous ones in comparison.
"That's much larger than I anticipated." Glynda had to admit to herself as Raynor's men could be seen preparing to attack it from multiple directions.
As they strike, the Dominion put up one hell of a resistance against Raynor's men but in the end, they too fall and the train was destroyed, but compared to the previous trains that had pallets of resources in them, there was something else that was inside. Marines and Diamondbacks could be seen circling the wreckage with caution.
"What is that?" Ruby asked.
"You're about to find out." RGQC just smiled and pointed at the screen.
"Sir, we're detecting electrical activity in the wreckage." Matt points it out as Raynor wonders.
"Now let's see what they were so fired up to get their hands on…" He wondered as marines approached the metal container and opened it. What's inside then began to speak out.
"Adjutant 23-46... online... system recording... N-N-New Gettysburg Defense Initiative... S-S-Submit a-access codes." It says while occasionally stuttering in its own words.
"It's… another Adjutant, but this one look old." Blake was the first to speak out as the others nodded.
"Well I'll be. It's an old Confederate adjutant. Now what intel's so important they'd go and dig her up to recover it?" Raynor sounded interested as to why the Dominion was seeking it. And with that the screen darkens for now.
"The Dominion seek out this old Confederate adjutant? Why thou?" Coco then asked as RGQC just smiled as he stood up.
"We'll get there in the future but first, we are done for now, you may all take a break, take some time to catch up or relax a bit. Cos after this break, the next mission would be interesting. I promise."
"Fou! Fou!" Fou chirped out as he jumped off Emerald and ran back to RGQC.
"Ah, it appears that Fou needs to go home, say your goodbyes to him for now. For I'm sure he will be back." RGQC petted Fou as everyone said their goodbye. Next thing everyone knew, a small portal appeared next to Fou as he walked through it.
"Nevertheless, I won't take any more of your time. You may go now." And with that, RGQC left through the portal as everyone else left.
And we are done with the Great Tria- no wait, I mean, The Great Train Robbery mission!
How do you feel about this mission eh? Is it good enough? Or do I need to improve more on it? How ya like 'Raven's redemption arc'? Is it shit? Or is it way too fast of a character development for her. Oh well.
Other than that, I was thinking of making a Christmas chapter for both this and my other story. Though I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Besides that, I'm planning to take a break or so before I work on my next chapter/story and post both of them around the same timeish.
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 or I want to address it.
Other than that, I will see ya guys in the next chapter soon.
RGQC out!
