Chapter 13

The four brothers stood there, eyeing this black-furred rabbit faunus samurai as he drew his sword, lowering himself with his legs spread, his bright red eyes not leaving the four brothers, who had their weapons similarly drawn together as they eyed him, the tension of the moment almost drowning out the blaring alarm around them.

"...We don't have time for this." Leonardo said, narrowing his eyes. "We need to get out of here and shut this operation down, the longer we're dealing with this, the more stuff they can get out."

"Then let's take dis bozo down togetha!" Raph said with a glare, twirling his sais as Leo gave a nod.

"All together than!" He said as he rushed forward, kicking off the ground and swinging both blades down. Almiraj swung up his sword to block them all, but had to duck to narrowly avoid Donatello's bo staff. Mikey rushed in from the other side, swinging his nunchucks low then high in rapid succession, forcing Almiraj to leap up and lean his head back at the same time, rolling back on the ground. Raph had landed behind him, stabbing both of his sais down towards the rabit Faunus' back, before he pulled out his smaller blade, holding it offset as the blade caught in the gaps of his sais.

Leonardo charged at him, swinging his blades back and forth, before Almiraj swung up his katana to block, then spun his body around, scattering the two brothers aside, before launching his feet with a massive kick, sending both brothers tumbling. As he landed, he barely raised his blade to block a shot from Donatello, his bo staff shifted to rifle mode. Donnie took a few more shots, with Almiraj blocking them, before he leaped up to avoid another attack by Mikey, kicking off his chest and launching himself at Donnie, swinging his body so that his foot kicked the rifle down, and as he spun, his sword came crashing down on Donnie, who's aura was fortunately taking the blow, but it still hurt the purple turtle and sent him down. Leaping off and back down on the ground, Almiraj stood there, holding his arms out, the two swords pointing up as he glared at them.

"Okay...so rabbit-boy here has some kicks to him." Mikey said, groaning as he slowly stood to his feet.

"Yeah...and call me crazy, but isn't there something familiar about this too?" Leo asked, before Almiraj rushed in again, swinging his two blades.

Raph had gritted his teeth and kicked up, swinging up his sais, swinging them around to block and deflect at the same time as Almiraj swung his swords, before Raph suddenly ducked, kicking his foot up and hitting Almiraj in his armored chest, and as the rabbit faunus stumbled back, Donnie jumped up and swung his bo staff back to catch Almiraj, sending him to the floor.

But this brief reprieve lasted for less than a second, as he swung his leg out to catch Donnie, who fell back, using his staff to vault him back to his brothers, the four standing there as their opponent pushed himself back up onto his feet. However, the rabbit faunus noticed that the alarm lights had changed from a dark red to a brighter, blinking red, and the alarm had changed from a loud drowning sound, to a beeping klaxon. He turned back to face the brothers, seeing them rushing to him.

Leo swung his swords down, barely missing the rabbit who leaned forward, kicking off Raph behind him and landing on Leonardo, kicking his shell to send him stumbling towards his brothers, although Mikey managed to leap over the other three, pushing a button on his nunchucks, and the ends opened, firing twin jets of flames forcing Almiraj to stumble back.

But as he was starting to get his footing again, glass shattered from above. The five looked up to see Glynda falling down towards them, holding out her riding crop as she landed. She narrowed her eyes, looking between Almiraj and the brothers, before she threw her weapon up, sending Almiraj flying backwards and onto the ground. However, now it seemed the faunus warrior had enough, rolling across the ground, kicking up, rolling across the shell of Leonardo, and turning to run. Leo swung out his blade, barely nicking his black rabbit ear, as some jet black fur fell to the ground. Only...no, it wasn't fur, Leonardo realized, seeing it as more of some strange black goop.

But that brief pause allowed Almiraj to throw a smoke pellet to the ground, disappearing in a puff of five Huntsmen stood there now, as Glynda turned to the four.

"I thought the idea was to not get caught." She said briefly before the five heard a loud explosion behind them. Looking around, they saw several crates of Dust were exploding, one at a time, creating a chain reaction of explosions.

"Are you serious? A freaking self-destruct?!" Mikey shouted as Glynda grit her teeth.

"No time, we have to go now." She said and held up her riding crop, using her telekinesis to grip the four brothers, then she threw them up quickly and roughly at the window she had entered.

The four brothers let out a loud scream as they were sent flying without grace or style out through the window. Leonardo saw the window and swung his leg out to kick off of it, to regain some control over his trajectory, and grabbed Raph and Donnie's arms to swing them out as well, the three brothers falling out of the warehouse and rolling across the ground, groaning some as their shells and aura took the blows. They stood up...and watched as Mikey continued to scream until he fell flat on the ground, skidding to a halt to where they were, his orange aura flashing briefly as he groaned.

"Ugh...love being...a turtle...and all that..." Mikey groaned as he stood up. The sky was turning a lovely shade of orange, the sign of dawn, but it was hard to admire it with the explosions and alarms going on.

"Being thrown out of an exploding building and you still can't shut up." Raph said, as the four heard another explosion, and looked up to see Glynda launching herself out of the same window with considerable more grace. She landed next to them, not wasting a beat to turn around, eyes narrowed as she raised her riding crop and used her Semblance to pull down the weakened walls of the warehouse, metal groaning and crunching as they fell down, her teeth still gritting as she held on, waiting for a bit...until the main explosion rocked it, her powers keeping the Dust explosion contained as well as keeping any of the building from launching out as shrapnel.

Once the explosion had subsided, Glynda let out a small sigh and lowered her arms, taking in a few deep breaths, before turning around to glare at the four brothers.

"Just what is it that happened in there?!" She said, her classic angry voice seeping in that made even Raph flinch in worry as she crossed her arms facing the brothers. "This is not how this mission was supposed to go."

"I know, and we're sorry." Leonardo said. He was the leader, so he knew he had to explain themselves. "We went in totally ready to just scout ahead, but well...things are even worse than we expected."

On hearing this, Glynda's furious expression softened to a more normal looking scowl of annoyance. "...Go on."

This time, Donatello stepped up, pulling out his Scroll as he opened up the files he'd downloaded. "This was much more than just an operational warehouse, it was a full blown manufacturing center. They were producing weapons far more advanced than anything even in Atlas, and distributing them all across these, I'm assuming, White Fang areas in the kingdom. And there are even some shipping manifests that indicate they're being brought to Mistral."

"And it's not just he crazy laser guns too!" Mikey said. "They've got suits that can enhance strength and turn you invisible! And who knows what other crazy stuff!"

"Yeah, this isn't just a normal operation, it's a plan. No weapon shipments or thefts means that they can hide a mobilization of this scale under the eyes of the authorities." Leonardo said.

"They're plannin' fer an attack. They're gearin' up for a full scale war!" Raph explained as Glynda looked over the data, her scowl softening a bit, the only sign that she could tell how serious this was.

"Were you able to find anything else out? How it is they're managing to do this, or who's helping them?" She asked.

"Ah...well...no." Donatello said sheepishly, causing Glynda's scowl to harden some. "But, whoever they are, and it may not even be one person, they have resources and a great deal of intelligence."

"...Right." Glynda said, before looking up at them. "Whatever the reason, we have to end our mission here, now."

"What? But they could be gettin' away with more ah this junk! We can't just pitch up now and let them get away-" Raph started before Glynda rose her hand.

"I am fully aware of the situation, however just before I had to come in and save you, I got an urgent alert from Vale." She said and took a breath. "The city has been breached, Grimm are invading the city."

The professor's words hit the four hard, their eyes widening. They realized now, with all of the distractions, alarms, and explosions, they had missed a faint sound in the distance: a loud, droning siren.

"What? Wait, how did that happen...was it because of-" Leonardo started before Glynda cut him off.

"I don't know, not yet. The situation is obviously chaotic as is, but they need all the help they can to stop it, now." She said, and looked at the four. "You four will need to go and help defend the city, its people, and this very kingdom. I'll join you all, shortly. For now, you're right Raphael, we can't let them all get away. I'll see if there's anything left to salvage, and by the time transportation returns, I'll be done." She said, as the five heard a loud engine roar.

Looking up, they saw a number of large trucks starting to drive off. Glynda raised her riding crop, and one of the trucks stopped. As Glynda threw her hand back, the truck was

sent screeching over towards them, smashing into the rubble of the ruined warehouse. The driver sprawled out with a groan, as Glynda pushed up her glasses.

"Now get going, now!" She said, her heels clicking as she moved away. "We don't have all day."

The four brothers nodded and gave a short bow before Leonardo turned to his brothers.

"Alright, we know how to fight, and fighting Grimm has been the whole point of all our training at Beacon. So let's move out!" He said, as the four brothers ran towards the Bullhead.

The Bullhead flew closer as the four brothers listened to the alarm blaring and they could see smoke in the distance. As they flew in closer, they saw them. A horde of black and white monsters, swarming out from the smoke, it and the distance obscuring the cause of it.

"So, we go and find a warehouse with the White Fang preparing for war, and here we are with a Grimm attack inside of Vale. Quite the coincidence don't you think?" Leonardo said as he pulled out his weapons.

"Yeah...too much I t'ink." Raph said, gritting his teeth and spinning his sais around.

"Well regardless we all heard what we're supposed to do." Donnie said, pulling out his staff.

"Yeah, we ride in and kick some shell like turtles!" Mikey said, the brothers letting out a cheer as Leonardo looked down.

"Here's our stop, let's go!" He shouted and leaped out of the Bullhead, his brothers following him out.

The four flew down, their weapons aimed and out, ready to help. Donatello spun in the air, his staff a rifle as he fired down, the bullet slamming into a Beowolf, slowing Donnie down as he landed, returning to a staff. Raph pushed his two sais together, squeezing the trigger on the small SMG, a rappid torrent of bullets slowing him down and obliterating a pair of Creeps, before he landed on an Ursa, sending the thing onto the ground and still. Mikey swung his nunchucks around, catching onto a massive, snake-like King Taijitu and swinging its head down, Mikey shouting out and waving his arma round with a smile on his head, before kicking off of it, to land on the ground. Leonardo was the last to land, eyes closed as he felt the wind blowing past him, before widening his eyes, squeezing his swords as he could feel his aura flow through him and into his blades, swinging them down and the twin blades sliced through the snake's neck, landing on the ground as the evaporating head fell behind him.

"Alright brothers, let's save this city!" Leonardo shouted, as he raised up his swords and rushed forward, leading them together. Leonardo swung his blades around, carving through a pair of Creeps leaping at him, as Raphael jumped up, throwing his two sais into the side of a charging Boarbatusk, hearing it squeal out as Raph landed by it, grabbing the hilts and growling as he lifted it up, and smashed it into the ground. He leaned back, kicking a Beowolf back, right at Donnie, who had deployed the yar-blade from his staff, swinging it up to pierce through it, as the Beowolf died, Donnie swung around launching himself to kick at a pair of Creeps rushing at Mikey, who had his Nunchucks up to block the twin fangs of the white-head of the King Taijitu, before suddenly leaning back, swinging his foot to kick it, its large maw engulfing the Creeps just as Donnie had kicked them into the air. Mikey ran over, wrapping his nunchucks around Donnie's staff, letting the latter swing up and down, Mikey's foot coming crashing down with a shockwave that caved in the giant snake-Grimm's skull, letting it rest still.

As the four brothers continued fighting on, taking out many of the smaller Grimm, they each heard the sounds of combat, making their way over to find themselves meeting their friends, also engaged in battle. Leonardo saw Pyrrha holding her shield up to block an Ursa's paw, just as Leonardo rushed in, his twin blades cleaving the paw off, before he leaned back, wrapping his legs around Pyrrha and launching her up into the air behind it. Pyrrha had been surprised by Leonardo's interruption, but she was a trained warrior and so immediately capitalized on it, kicking off of her shield, launching down and pinning her blade into its back. Standing up and holding her weapons up, she looked over to Leonardo who chuckled.

"I'm sorry." He said, rubbing the back of his head. "Didn't seem like there was time to go over a plan."

Pyrrha let out a small chuckle, before raising her arm to block a Beowolf's clawed swing, gripping her sword and swinging it up, cleaving the creature in two. "It's fine, I'm just surprised to see you here. Was your mission a success? We hadn't managed to go on our's yet!" She said, leaning back to kick at a Creep, before spinning around, her weapon twirling into a rifle as she fired a few shots, before bringing it back down, the blade pinning one of their heads down.

"Well you know, better than feared, but worse than hoped!" Leonardo said, holding his blades up to block an Ursa's strike, his left foot swinging up to kick its side than repeating it with his right, making it unbalanced as it stumbled, Leonardo ducking down to bring his blades up and pierce it in the chest.

Elsewhere, Raphael had found Yang punching her way through a horde of Beowolves as Raph leaped in to connect with one coming at her from behind.

"So, guess we ain't missin' out on some of the, aghr, fun togetha huh, are we?!" Raph said, thrusting his sai tips into the approaching Beowolves, ducking and weaving, almost as if punching out at them with his sharpened fingers, Yang to his back.

"Yeah well, sorry about the mess but hey, it's best to share in the fun huh?!" Yang shouted ducking and weaving, swinging her fists out in a blinding flurry of punches and shotgun shots, before the two saw an Ursa Major towering over them, roaring. Raph leaned back, kicking up as Yang kicked off him, delivering a blinding rapid series of punches against its armor, before rolling over its back and onto the ground, launching herself with a shot to dodge a swing, while grabbing Raph and tossing her on the opposite, the two quickly swinging their fists up as gauntlet and sai smashed into its chin by a double uppercut, sending the massive bear flying and disintigrating.

Weiss had found herself surrounded, using her glyphs to rapidly leap, jump, and launch herself at the various Beowolves and Creeps who snapped and swung at her, her sharp blade stabbing at them as she was always gliding along the ground or kicking off her glyphs mid-air. But as she struck her blade into one, she heard a roar behind her, looking back to see the jaws of a Creep closing in on her, until she heard the loud crack of a gunshot, and the Creep was sent flying. Looking back, she saw Donatello with his rifle raised, before he swung it down back as a spear. Donnie gave a small, awkward wave, when Weiss rolled her eyes, before widening and raising her hand. Donnie saw her form a black glyph and Donnie felt himself sucked towards it. As the purple turtle rolled forward, he looked back and saw a Boarbatusk rolling along the ground in a deadly spin right where he'd been standing. Donnie came to a halt and pushed himself up, holding his blade out.

"Well, thanks for the save!" He said.

"Just shut it and thank me by helping out." She said with a huff, letting Donnie kick off the ground, raising her hand as Donnie kicked off of one of the Glyphs, landing behind the Boarbatusk, swinging his staff up to catch its tusk, leaning back and getting launched by a glyph as it swung the Grimm's head up, Donnie spinning around and being given a trail of glyphs to leap across before getting around the monster's front before it could lower itself back down, kicking off and stabbing his spear into its belly.

Elsewhere, Jaune took a breath as he held up his shield, looking at a hulking Ursa. Jaune took another breath and let out a loud shout, rushing in and swinging his sword around, crashing through its flesh as he tried to put his training to good use. As he did this, he looked up and saw the Ursa fall back with a groan, before he heard a voice behind him.

"Hey great job, you really are improving!" Mikey shouted as he landed on Jaune's shield, kicking his leg out to smack a Beowolf in the face, before gripping the edge of his shield and landing right behind Jaune, holding out his nunchucks. But I still think you need a sort of battle cry!" He said, swinging it out.

"Where did you-never mind!" Jaune said, blocking a Creep biting at his shield, as he thrust the blade down into its eye. "I still don't think a battle cry is all that effective!"

"Oh come on, not everything needs to be effective!" Mikey said, wrapping his nunchuck around its wrist, pulling it in to leap back, kicking it under the chin, landing on his feet in place. "You need some pizzazz, some flavor!"

"We're talking about fighting monsters, not cooking!" Jaune countered back, swinging his sword down against the armor of a Creep. "I think we need to focus on the fight, not on "flavor" or whatever!"

"Yeah but what's the point in fighting some deadly monsters if you don't look good doing it!" Mikey said, kicking a Beowolf back, before wrapping his arms around Jaune's, who raised his shield and let out a grunt, swinging Mikey around, with Mikey launching jets of flames from his nunchucks, cooking every Grimm surrounding the pair. Mikey let go and grinned. "See? Being effective is one thing, but being effective and epic is way more important!"

The four brothers continued to fight and helped in turning back the tide. All things considered, despite the Grimm invasion, there weren't a lot of terrible Grimm. A lot had made it in, but it was clear to Leonardo soon that this wasn't an invasion that couldn't be handled, which he was thankful for. Finally, something went right today. The four brothers met up again to go over this finding.

"So it looks like

Atlas is moving in." Leonardo said, as they managed to get a quick breather, Leonardo pointing up to the Atlas fleet that was moving in.

"Finally, they do somethin' besides look like an oppressive eyesore." Raph huffed as Mikey nudged him.

"Oh come on, they look cool! And hey, for once it's nice that the good guys have the cool looking toys and not just the "evil empire" or whatever." Mikey said, nudging Raph.

However, the four felt something slam down next to them with a growl, a familiar looking creature standing up to face them. Looking up, the four found themselves staring back at an Alpha Beowolf, the same thing that'd given them such a hard time during initiation. The four raised their weapons, planting their feet as it roared at them.

"Well." Leonardo said, twirling his blades. "Let's really put to the test everything we've learned this year." The eldest brother said with a smirk as the four rushed in.

The Alpha roared at them, swinging its paw down, as Donnie rushed in, swinging his staff up to block it, the aura in his hand and staff blocking it well as Leonardo and Raph leaped up past him, their legs outstretched to kick it in the face. It stumbled back, snarling as it leaped towards them, its jaw biting down on Raph's leg, but before it could even fully close its jaw on him, Mikey reached up, wrapping his nunchuck around its lower jaw.

"Here, bro!" Mikey said, tossing up the other pair to Raph, who stabbed one of his sai into its boney faceplate, raising himself up, and using the momentum to bring its upper jaw up, a pained roar was let out as its mouth was forced open. It reached up its massive paws to grab at them, only for Leonardo to run in, swinging his swords down and cleaving off the two paws, landing behind it with his eyes closed.

"Now Donnie!" He shouted as he leaped backwards over the Grimm, just as Donnie jumped upwards, the two meeting in midair as Leo kicked Donnie's feet, sending him down towards it, his spear aimed down and slicing down into its throat, making it go limp and crumbling into dust.

The four landed together, looking around with a grin as they saw Atlas robots marching through the streets, their guns firing and killing the smaller Grimm, while they saw Glynda had finally made it, looking as angry as ever, heading towards the breach, raising her riding crop as large chunks of stone flew through the air to plug up the hole.

"Well, it looks like we got a job well done!" Leonardo said, raising his hand as his brothers all grinned and did the same, all four giving a united high-three.

Indeed, the Breach had been ended rather shortly after Glynda sealed up the hole. What Grimm were still in the tunnel were blocked off, and what few Grimm that were in the city were being mopped up by Atlas forces and local Huntsmen. The students who had helped were given a commendation by Ozpin and the Kingdom of Vale as a whole and returned to rest after giving assistance in that battle.

Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo had found themselves back at Beacon, meeting up with Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang, with the two teams going over what they had found and what had happened. The turtles had told them about the advanced weaponry factory, the clear signs of a massive scheme to arm the White Fang, and the advanced "Fang Tech Suits" as Donnie was calling them.

"Not to mention that mystery warrior they had." Leonardo said, almost more to himself than anyone else, before he turned to Blake. "Did you know anyone like that when...you know."

"Hmm...black furred rabbit Faunus? With armor and twin swords? Highly skilled?" Blake asked, thinking it over in her head. "No, I can't say I knew anyone like that. It could be a new recruit, or someone from another branch of the White Fang though." She said as Leonardo nodded.

"Right...I suppose that makes sense." He said, still thinking on it.

In return, the girls told them how their mission had gone. They brought up their mission to Mountain Glenn, finding a hidden White Fang encampment in its tunnels, the train with bombs to lead Grimm to the city, as well as the stolen Atlas mechs that had been stopped, but not before crashing into the wall, including another run in with Roman Torchwick and his little assistant Neo.

"Well...at least we caught him." Ruby said, looking around at them. "It seems pretty obvious what happened. They were preparing for an attack on the city, but both of our teams caught them before they were ready, they jumped the gun and were stopped."

"Yeah...but that still doesn't explain a lot of what happened." Donnie said, rubbing his chin in thought. "Like the virus. I've gotten my own hands into the system. I haven't been able to find anything in the system myself though, so maybe we'd stopped the mystery woman before she'd managed to get anything on?" Donatello said, looking down at Ruby.

"Maybe. Also um...is that you know...legal?" She asked him as Donatello rubbed the back of his head.

"Ah well...I'm just wanting to help you know?" He said a bit sheepishly.

"Right right, we got all this done, but we don't know how it all matches up." Raph said a bit impatiently.

"Well...not every story has a neat and tidy ending." Weiss offered up, as Leonardo nodded.

"Right. But I get the feeling this story isn't over yet. We should keep an eye out regardless." He said, seeing Ruby nod her head in agreement.

"So yeah cool we did it, what now?" Yang asked, a bit bored and tired.

"Well...maybe some bed? We've been working hard literally all night." Mikey suggested, causing Raph to roll his eyes.

"Right, ah course ya would." He said and stretched. "I suppose we got the tournament comin' up soon...maybe some rest would be good fer it." Raph suggested causing Mikey to grin.

"Yep, then you all will see a return of the Battle Nexus Champi-"

"SHUT UP!" Came a matching shout from his three brothers, all getting up and lining up to smack him upside the head.

"Ah, hey!" He said, groaning as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Well, some rest sounds good. I'll see if Pyrrha wants to do some Aura training. Working on it and some meditation would be good for the mind after the night we had." Leonardo said.

"Yeah, I think just a straight up nap is more my speed now that ya mention it." Raph said as Yang stretched.

"Ya read my mind too." She said, as Ruby noticed Donnie reading his Scroll.

"Hey, you okay?" She asks.

"Huh?" The purple turtle said, before looking up. "Oh yeah, uh nothing much. Just well...I guess Ironwood wants to see me about the weapons we found in the warehouse." Donnie said. "So I guess my day's not over yet."

"Well hey, good luck. And get some rest, we'll need it for what's coming up." Ruby said with a smile.

Elsewhere, another group was meeting up to go over the events that had just occurred. However, this group was far more knowledgeable, and also far more sinister.

"I still can't believe those animals you lot stuck me with failed so spectacularly!" Came the familiar voice of Baxter Stockman, who was glaring at Cinder, Emerald, Mercury, and Almiraj. "I had a perfect system set up! Do you have any idea how hard it is to set up a miniature manufacturing center pumping out the most advanced weaponry and armor in the world on the budget we have? All in the middle of a hostile city without getting caught?"

"And yet you were." Came a snide remark from Mercury, his arms crossed as he looked at Stockman.

"Only because of the raging incompetence surrounding us at the moment-" He started, before Cinder rose her hand. Stockman was very familiar with this from his years working with the Shredder, so he immediately shut up.

"Quiet. Today has actually been overall a success." She said, looking over to Stockman. "While the loss of the warehouse was unfortunate, you said most of the goods had been shipped out already?"

Stockman sighed and nodded. "Yes, Miss Fall." He said, keeping his head lowered. "At least we have enough out for the plan to work. And with the virus still in place, I should be able to keep an eye on anything if they try to come up with a plan." He said, tapping his metallic head. "Your associate may be smart, and his insight on the network is appreciated, but if it weren't for my brilliant modifications, it'd have been caught by now." He said, although his blustering had caused Emerald to roll her eyes. "You just better hope that those stupid animals are better at this next job. Still...I suppose Roman's incompetence got him locked away, even if it is part of the plan." He had been annoyed to learn that, somehow, Roman was one of the few people to survive the encounter on the train and that he was still required for the plan.

"Speaking of, we lost a lot of Faunus in the tunnels." Emerald said, shaking her head. "You sure they're gonna be okay listening to us?" She asked, when another voice interrupted them, walking over.

"No." Standing before them was the leader of the local branch of the White Fang, Adam Taurus. "But they'll listen to me."

"Then you'd do good to remember who you listen to." Came a growling, wispy voice as if on the air. Suddenly a puff of smoke surrounded Adam, and when it dissipated, four figures stood on either side of the Faunus leader. They looked almost identical, wearing a large rice-hat, red scarves wrapped around their faces that only allowed piercing red eyes to shine out, wearing black garbs. The only way you could tell the four apart was their weaponry: A spear, a battleaxe, a trident, and a double-sided sword. The one holding the sword spoke up again.

"It would be a shame to end such a beneficial alliance so abruptly."

Author's Notes:
And with that, we finish off Volume 2 of RWBY with the turtles getting involved. Things are setting more into motion, a new threat has entered the fray, and we have a few more "friends" joining Stockman and gang. Next time, we

start up the Vytal Festival Tournament...and the most unforgettable moment in RWBY.

Anyways, onto some comments:

"I have one question: Will the Shredder make his return?"
In general, and this is for everyone as well, I'm not ever going to confirm or deny if there are any other characters from the TMNT-verse coming over. If it happens in the story, that's the first anyone will ever hear of it.
That said, the Shredder is a unique case, so I will just say no, I have no plans to bring in the Shredder for this story. I have an idea for him in another story, but none for here.

"I just realized that LMDR is also the order of the intro.
L: Leonardo's always in control.
M: the wise guy is Michaelangelo.
D: Donnatello he's the brains of the bunch.
R: count on Raphael to throw the first punch."
...Huh, you know I wish I could say that I did that intentionally, but no, what a brilliant coincidence.

"Will you be able to do and finish "Life has many walls" fanfic? It has been awhile and wanting to know if you would do it?"
Just in general, I am not going to talk about my other fics outside of those fics. I do intend on getting back to all of my other stories at the times I am able to, and want to. That is all.
