Author's Opening Notes: Sorry for the long wait. I tried to publish this before Thanksgiving but was interrupted by my family. I'll go more into detail at the end.


Review Response

Ultima-Owner: Thanks. I originally planned for Tyrian to be the Team Castle Medic, but made Lionheart the Mdic instead as I have better plans for the Scorpion Faunus.

StrongGuy159: I don't know how to make Nora both the Demo and the Medic. Unless I cover Meet the Medic, but it's Demoman by Doctor Lalve.

DragonKingDragneel25: Of course I'll be covering Fan animations. Ranging from well known Saxxy awards to obscure short films. I'm not sure I'll be covering Emesis Blue since that film is super dark. Maybe Gold-Sith would cover it on his one-shots. Till then I'm mostly focusing on action/comedy animations like Team Neighborhood and the Tiny Desk series.


Inspiration: Meet the Demoman, Pyro, and Medic

Dr. Stirling has finished everyone's order and is handing them out amongst the members of the Inner Circle.

"Alright Ma'am, here your plate of two everything bagels,"

He places the plate of bagels in front of the Grimm Queen. She just stares at it as the Doctor walks to Roman and Neo's table.

"Here's your tea my good sir." He turns towards Neo, "and for you young lady."

He then places down a huge glass bowl full of ice cream that is meant for multiple people to enjoy.

"Your banana split Sundae with ten scoops of Neapolitan ice cream, extra nuts, lots of whipped cream, and a huge cherry on top."

The Neapolitan Girl immediately goes ham on her sundae like a hungry dog chowing down on ribs. She didn't even use a spoon, just stuck her face in it and went, "OMNOMNOMNOMNOM!"

The Temp Host then placed his final order at Dr. Watts table. "And here you go sir, a nice hot cup of coffee!"

Dr. Watts took a sip of the coffee and immediately spat it out. "This coffee is cold!"

"A nice cup of coffee!"

"It tastes terrible!"

"A cup of coffee!"

"I don't even think this is coffee."

"A CUP!"

"This isn't even a cup… it's a bowl."

"A!"

"Did you intentionally screw up my order all for a stupid gag."

The Doctor shifted his eye back and forward going, "Noooo?" in a Jon-Tron esc voice.

"Is there a reason why you are still keeping us here?" Roman asks the Temp Host after sipping his tea.

He just stared at Bowler hatter criminal confused for a bit before responding. "I don't Follow?"

"You brought us here to make us watch our counterparts fight over useless land. But we were immediately killed off on the same film we were introduced. So why even keep us here if our counterparts are already dead?"

Dr. Stirling instantly knows what he is talking about, "Oh, that. Yes… your counterparts have died, but they still live on." He pulls out a clicker, "Watch!"

Everyone was confused as to what he meant, as he pressed a button on the clicker and activated the projector as the audience turned toward the big screen.


The short begins after the events of Meet the Spy where Lionhearts sitting on a bench in what looks like some sort of locker room, patting an ice pack on the crook of his neck where Blake karate chopped from their last encounter. A timer overhead on a wall ticks down that reads "Respawning in 3… 2… 1…".

Instantaneously eight of the nine mercenaries pop out of thin air in front of Leo. Each merc rubbing a part of their body that Blake stabs or struck from, like Neo, Adam, and Dr. Watts rubbing their heads where the Cat Faunus planted her bullets.

Cinder turns to see a pissed off Torchwick staring at her with murder in his eyes. She gave a nervous smile as she said, "uhh… Good news… I've found the Sp-"

The Team Castle's Soldier was soon interrupted by Roman decking her in the face and the film ends.


The Bowler hatted criminal laughed his ass off as the audience took a moment to register what just happened, until Jaune recognized what it was.

"No way! No friggin way! They got a real life Respawn Machine!"

"Respawn Machine?" Some of the adults ask, more specifically the adults who haven't played video games once in their lives.

The Fearless Leader explains the best he could. "In some games genres like First Person Shooters, there is a game mechanic where once you die, you'll come back from the dead so to speak. That mechanic is known as Respawning. And they made it a reality."

"Correctamundo," Dr. Stirling confirmed Jaune's speculation, "Early into the war, the Brothers realized constantly hiring new mercenaries to replace the previous mercs that had blown up was becoming costly. So they contracted some inventors to build a machine that would keep their best mercs fighting from beyond the grave. After many attempts, they got the machine up and running. Now the Brothers can send their mercenaries on their most dangerous missions without concern for casualties, now that they can litally come back from the dead. But sadly, it doesn't make them immortal as old age caught up to the previous mercs and had to be replaced with fresh young recruits." [1]

This peaks everyone's interest, especially Ozpin and Ironwood. Not only would many soldiers and hunters continue serving their nation. Their family's wouldn't have to worry about them not coming back one day, now that death is no longer a factor.

Ruby and Yang wonder if Summer would still be with them if such a machine existed in their world.

Weiss clears her throat to attract everyone's attention, "We still have three films left to go through." The Heiress informs, "I don't know what role Nora, Penny, and I play. But we won't find out till we watch the rest of the films."

"I suppose you're right." said the Temp Host as he corrected Dr. Watts' order. "We're at the homestretch with these introductions, so we'll continue talking about the respawn machine, another time."

Dr. Stirling teleported into the projector room and set up the next film. "Now everyone sits back, enjoy your orders, and let us begin."


The Film begins with another Title card that reads "Meet The Demo" with brown bottles sitting atop a box of dynamite.

"Meet the Demo? Like… demolition expert?" Ruby speculated reading the title.

"If that's the case, no doubt it would be Nora." Weiss stated, "She loves explosives as much as she loves Ren."

"You got that right!" declared Nora, as she wraps her arm around her crush's neck, causing him to blush a little.

It was indeed Nora, as she narrowly escapes a massive explosion, jumping from a drop-down corridor in Gravel Pit while the opening fanfare of Drunken Pipe Bomb plays in the background.

At the apex of the explosion, the scene freeze-framed showing a closeup of the Energetic Ginger. She wears a black and red bomb suit with six grenade pills strapped to the vest. She also carries a grenade launcher in her arms, and has an eyepatch over her left eye.

"Holy cow! I look amazing!" Nora said, all excited by her counterpart's getup. So much that Ren had to calm her down a bit.

"I guess we were right about the explosives part." Said Ruby.

"And she is as happy-go-lucky as our Nora." stated Jaune seeing that exact face on his Nora a couple of times during training and on missions.

"What makes me a good Demoman?" Nora voices over the Freeze Frame.

It then cuts to her sitting in a room full of explosives, doing an interview.

"If I were a bad Demoman, I wouldn't be sittin' here, disgustin' with you now would I?" She declared.

"I mean, she got a point." Qrow said after taking a sip out his flask. "Demolition, or any kind of work dealing with Dust is a really dangerous job. One wrong move could send you and your friend everywhere in more ways than one."

Adam and Blake remembered having lost so many members of the White Fang from a train heist gone wrong. All because some rookie mishandled one of the Dust canisters causing a chain reaction, blowing up the train and almost the whole platoon.

Cuts to her on the battlefield of Gravel Pit as she cries out "Let's do it!" before charging forth with her team. Drunken Pipe Bomb resumes as she and the rest of Team Fortress split up to take more ground. All while dodging a cascade of rockets being launched by Cinder offscreen.

"Not one of ya's gonna' survive this." she claims as she rounds a corner.

Cuts back to Nora's explosive room, where she talks to the interviewer, "One crosswire, one wayward pinch of powdered Fire Dust, one errant twitch… and KABLOOIE!"

"Yep," Nora said, popping the p with her lips, "that pretty much explains my experience with Dust." remembering her many trials and errors on customizing her own heart shape grenades.

Back to the battle, where Nora was being pursued by Neo. She bounced a pipe grenade off a wall and directly impacted her pursuer in the face, exploding her into giblets.

Even with the knowledge of respawning. Neo doesn't appreciate the fact that she's being killed so easily.

Cuts back to Nora's room, where she is chugging a bottle of questionable supstance.

Glynda became concerned with the substance Nora the Demoman is consuming, "Please tell me that's not what I think that is." she asks, hoping her student is not an alcoholic.

"It's not alcohol, I can tell you that." The Temp Host replies, causing some of the adults and Nora's friends to feel relieved. "It's actually Maple Syrup." [2]

"I can't decide whether that is better or worse." Weiss commented, surprised to hear that her hyperactive friend's counterpart is drinking straight up liquid sugar out of a bottle.

Nora goes wide-eyed, asking herself why she didn't think of that before, "Dr. Stirling sir. Can I have a bottle of maple syrup please?" She asked kindly.

"NO!" Everyone at Beacon yelled, not wanting her to do something she'll regret.

Back at the battlefield again, where Dr. Watts has upgraded his Sentry to a level three. Cuts back to Nora chugging the bottle of syrup. Cuts back to the battlefield where the level three takes aim at Nora and Jaune rounding the corner and fires. Cuts one more time at a close up of Nora chugging what's left of the bottle, before cutting to the battlefield where the Team Fortress Demo and Scout charge at the Sentry only for Jaune to get gunned down in the process.

"Fearless leader, Nooo!" Nora cried out, seeing Jaune's counterpart fall in combat. "I will avenge you!"

"It's okay Nora!" Jaune tries to comfort her. "I'll be alright. we can respawn, remember."

"I know but… I'm not letting him get away with it!"

Just like she promised. Her counterpart launched two pipe grenades, as they bounced along the ground and hit her target, Blowing up Dr. Watts and his nest.

Back at Nora's explosive room one last time. The one eyed ginger slams down her empty bottle.

"I got a manky eye." She accidentally arms a grenade with her elbow as it falls off the table.

The audience gasped, hoping it was a dud.

"I'm a Ginger, Mistralian Cyclops. They got more F-"

A long loud beep overlaps the audio, censoring her rant and making it impossible for the audience to understand what she is saying.

The Faunus' in the audience covered their ears, not appreciating the loud beep censoring the Demo.

Winter looks over to Penny, "Can you make out what she's saying?" she asks, knowing the android girl has the capability to read people's lips.

Penny just stares at the screen, jaw dropped for a couple seconds before looking back at the lieutenant, "You don't want to know." she said, which made Winter concern.

Nora didn't listen to the conversation as she was busy looking at her counterpart's eye patch, "Dr. Stirling." She asks, curiosity gets the better of her. "How exactly did I get an eyepatch? It looks cool and everything, but what happened to my eye?"

"I can't tell you that just yet." The Doctor explained, "Let's just say you've looked into something you weren't supposed to and lost it in the process."

"-s then they've got the likes of me." The Team Fortress Demo was about to take another swig before they noticed the camera and became lucid. "So…"

Cuts to Nora running out to the final point in Gravel Pit as she is shocked to see every member of Team Castle charging towards her with smug looks on their faces.

"...T'all you find dandies so proud, so cocksure. Prancin' aboot with heads full of eyeballs."

Everyone at Beacon's side became concerned with Nora's safety seeing the entire team coming at her.

"Get out of there Nora, you're outnumbered!" Jaune warns Nora's counterpart, thinking she'll hear.

Nora just smiles, "Don't worry, fearless leader. I have a plan."

"Well, do be careful." Said Ren, hoping she knows what she's doing.

A devious look came to Nora's face as she ran with Team Castle in hot pursuit.

"Come and get me I say! I'll be waiting on ya with a whiff of the 'ol brimstone." She passes a door frame and smiles as she begins lining the frame with sticky bombs as the enemy approaches. "I'm a Grim bloody fable… with an unhappy bloody end!"

The enemy team caught up as Nora was standing outside drinking a bottle of maple syrup. As they are just about to gang up on her. Hazel noticed a line of stickies hiding on the other side of the frame. Before he could warn the other of the impending danger. Nora throws a mock salute as she detonates the stickies, blowing up the entire team into a gory mess. Limbs and blood rains above Nora as she walks up to one of the severed heads looking up at her, as she laughs as an arm bounces off her shoulder.

"Oh, they're going to have to glue you back together… IN HELL!"

The film ends as the Team Fortress title card plays with camera pans out from Nora's face as she's place next to Jaune and Pyrrha.


"That was glorious!" Tyrian cheered.

"She blew up our own team members." retort Cinder, not appreciating the Scorpion Faunus rooting for the enemy team.

He just shrugs, "Carnage is carnage. No matter who's the victim."

"See… I told you I have it under control." Nora stated so proudly to her partner/crush.

"So your counterpart is capable of setting up explosive traps." Ren assumes after watching the end sequence.

"That's right." Dr. Stirling chimes in again, "Not only can she blow people up with her grenade launcher. She can also lay down explosive traps with her sticky bomb launcher at choke points for maximum crowd control."

"I don't appreciate the fact that She has a maple syrup addiction." Weiss criticising Nora the Demo life choice. "Even if it isn't alcohol, drinking all that substance is not good for you."

"You're just jealous that my semblance allows me to eat as many sweets I want, without getting diabetes." Nora rebuttal.

Jaune was surprised to hear this, "Wait, really?"

"Really." Ren chimed in. "When Nora and I got our semblance inspected at Beacon's nurse office. Our nurse discovered that her semblance not only drastically increased her metabolism and immune to getting both type 1 and 2 diabetes. And ingesting sugar and other substances that make her go 'hyper' such as caffeine, actually increases her output by a large margin. That's why I feed her tons of pancakes every morning."

"Still. I would prefer that she drinks water from time to time." The Heiress retorts. "Watching her downing nothing but syrup is making me go into cardiac arrest. Disregard talking about indirect heart attacks, we have two films left." She looks over to the interdimensional doctor looking out of the booth. "Who is up next Dr. Stirling?"

"Penny is up next." answered the Doctor as he set the next film up. "Yours, I've saved the best for last."

This excites both Ruby and Penny as they attempt to guess what role the android girl plays in Team Fortress.

Without further delay, the Doc began playing the next film.


The Film starts with a title card that reads, "Meet the Pyro". A pack of match sticks with a drawing of a unicorn on it, sits under the title as fanfare plays.

"What's a pyro?" Nora asks, unfamiliar with the word.

"Pyro: Noun," Penny said, opening up her inner dictionary. "A combining form meaning fire, Heat, and high temperatures, used in the formation of compound words: pyrogen; pyrolusite; pyromancy."

"In other words, they specialize in fire." Qrow simplified it.

Ruby is a bit concerned as this is Penny's introduction film, and people who dabble with fire are usually pyromaniacs.

The title card burns away to reveal a pair of boots walking through the aftermath of a battle, stepping on a pair of glasses and kicking some spent cartridges. A fire axe dangles to their side as ominous music plays.

"Ooo, now that's ominous." Tyrian said as Cinder and Salem became interested as well.

The scene cuts to Hazel the Heavy sitting in a room in silhouette being interviewed. "I fear no man." He states before leaning forward with an unease face. "But that thing…" He looks to his side as if he's making sure whoever it is that makes him feel uneasy is not listening. He scoot closer to the camera, showing fear in his face. "It scares me." [3]

Ruby and her friends see Penny perturbed by Hazel's comment, so Yang tries to cheer her up.

"Hold on Penny. Maybe he's just talking about someone else." The Blonde Brawler tries to hold a smile but she's faltering.

It then cuts to a view of a town over Penny the Pyro's shoulder, where all the members of Team Castle are taking shelter as Mercury is locked out by Dr Watts.

"What the fuck Watts! Let me in!" Mercury complained about being left out to die by her hands.

Arthur just smiled, as he wanted to screw Mercury over the first chance he got.

"No, I… I ain't, I ain't talkin' bout that freak, alright?" Said a very distressed Mercury as he is now being interviewed. He tries to remove the mic clipped to his shirt while looking around. "She's not here is she?" he had enough, he got up and knocked over the camera as he goes, "How do I get this f*ing thing off!?"

There was no denying this time. It was obvious that they were referring to Penny. The Android Girl slid down on her chair, going into a deep depression.

The door to one of the buildings Team Castle was hiding, kicked open revealing Penny's getup. She wears a red fire retardant suit with a couple of incendiary grenades strapped to her chest. A gas mask covering most of her face, only her orange hair is exposed. And she carries a flamethrower that looks to be built from scratch.

Ruby wants to complement Penny's flamethrower, but notices becoming more and more upset. As the psychotic trio is getting more and more excited.

Penny the Pyro aims her flamethrower as Team Castle cower in fear. It cuts to Torchwick smoking a cigarette.

"One shudders to imagine what inhuman thought lies behind that mask." he asks himself, as the scene cuts to Penny igniting her flamethrower into the as the town burns around her. "What dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty?"

The Scorpion Faunus, the False Maiden, and the Queen of Grimm were at the edge of their seats. As Penny is ready to leave the theater altogether.

The camera zooms into the Penny goggle, showing her perspective to reveal.

"Do you believe in magic? In a young girl's heart… how the music can free her whenever it starts."

Instead of hellfire and screams of the damned. It's sugar, spice, and everything nice as everything she sees is a little girl's dream. Her flamethrower is now a weird looking brass instrument that blows bubbles and rainbows, that blooms flowers and candy all around her. "Do you believe in magic" plays in the background as the camera pans out showing her view of the Badlands, all vibrant in pastel colors with kittens and puppies floating in the sky.

Everyone was flabbergasted from the tonal whiplash. The room was dead quiet for about a solid minute before most of the audience bursted out laughing.

"Oh my Oum! That just took a total, one eighty!" Neptune said, trying to catch his breath.

The adults just stared, trying to process what they're looking at, as Penny's depression just left her body all at once.

As for Cinder, Tyrian, and Salem. They are terrified at what they are seeing. [4]

"What is that!" Exclaimed the Scorpion Faunus.

"I don't know! But it's horrifying!" The Grimm Queen States trying to look away.

Mercury and Emerald just look at the trio with a confused look as one of them said. "Dude… it's just cuteness."

Cinder just attempts to block her view of the screen with her hand. "Well to me it's disgusting."

A kitten passes in front of the screen going "Mew!" transitioning to a huge sandvich with a bite out of it. Hazel's head popped up from behind the sandvich with a full mouth, implying he was the one who took a bite out of the meal.

Mercury pointed at the screen, "Hey Hazel, you're in her weird trip thing."

"I half expected she would see you as a baby or puppy or something." Emerald quip.

"And it's magic, if the music is groovy."

Hazel jumped up from behind the sandvich, revealing that he has a chubby cherub body with little wings and wearing a diaper. His body squeaks as he bounced on the ground making baby noises.

This time nearly everyone was laughing, as Hazel's face turned red in embarrassment.

"Now I've seen everything." Ruby commented.

Weiss just sat there confuzzled. She has a fondness for cute little babies, but seeing an adult man's head with a full beard on a baby's body. It's giving her mixed signals.

"I was kidding about the baby part." Emerald wished she had bit her tongue. Now she has to witness herself and her team having chubby baby bodies.

"It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie."

Penny rips a lollipop out of the ground and rises it in the air, her mask muffles her cheer.

"I'll tell you about the magic, it'll free your soul,"

Hazel the Cherub ran toward her in excitement, as fast as his tiny baby legs to carry him, he trips but quickly gets back up desperately wanting the lollipop.

"But it's like trying to tell a stranger about rock and roll."

The Team Fortress Pyro hops and skips before leaping up into the air, then bringing the pop down upon the cherub. For a split second it shows what's really going on as Penny splits Hazel skull open with her fire axe.

The room went silent as everyone immediately stopped laughing when they were reminded that this is all in Penny's head and she's committing mass genocide without realizing it.

"I honestly forgot this was a hallucination." Jaune admits.

Dread came back to Penny as she looked at her hands. "I'm a monster."

"If you believe in magic… don't bother to choose."

Back in Penny's daydream, Hazel is enjoying his lollipop as Penny turns to see a Cherub version of Mercury flying towards her.

"If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues."

Mercury the Cherub landed on her instrument, as Penny pulled out a bubble wand and blew bubbles at Mercury causing him to laugh. Reality flashed once again revealing that Penny is actually shooting the Team Castle Scout in the head with the Scorch Shot, as he screams in pain.

Mercury cringed, not from watching his counterpart get headshotted by a survival tool. But from seeing himself with a chubby baby body.

Emerald snickered a bit, trying to hold her laughter as her partner turned to look at her.

"Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find…"

Back to the dream, Mercury and Hazel belly bumped each other laughing as Penny noticed Leon the Cherub peeking out from one of the presents.

"Oh no." said the frightened Lion Faunus, as he realized what's about to happen.

"How you got there, so just blow your mind."

Once noticed, The Lion Cherub quickly hides in the present wanting to play hide and seek. Penny played along, closing the present, but reality came back showing she actually barring the shed door with her axe, trapping the Team Castle Medic inside.

Lionheart tried to escape, but his efforts were proven futile as he tried to beg for his life, only for Penny to ignore his cry as she set the shed ablaze.

Both Ruby and Ironwood had enough.

"Dr. Stirling!" the General called out, "Want is the meaning of this!"

"Yeah, what causeing Penny to commit such atrocities and be unaware of it."

The Doctor sighed heavily, "Years after the respawn machine was built, Darktarch realized that he's no closer to getting the land from his brother, since the machine made it an infinite war of attrition. So he thought up a project to both overwhelm his brothers infinitely respawning mercenaries and take his birthright once and for all. His answer… robots, more specifically, robots that can think and perform better than the mercenaries he hired. One that if they get destroyed, their memories and information will be transferred to a new robotic body."

He pulls out his clicker again, and uses it to present a slideshow of Darktarch's project. "He got his top inventors working hard for months without his brother's knowledge, till they finally got their prototype up and running. That prototype name is P.E.N.N.Y."

The next slide shot Penny booting up with nothing but an endoskeleton, "His prototype as a success. P.E.N.N.Y. was able to walk, talk, and learn almost instantly. But there is one small problem."

"And that is?"Asked Blake.

"She couldn't hurt a fly." he pulls up the next slide showing P.E.N.N.Y. with skin and combat gear, hiding behind a rock during a trial run. "She would never pull the trigger and hide from the first sounds of danger."

"That doesn't sound so bad." Comment Neptune, "That just proves that she has both self-preservation and humanity."

Penny smiled from his complement.

"True… but for someone who wants an army of her to overthrow his brother, it certainly wouldn't do. Rather than starting from scratch, he ordered to install something that would censor the horrors of war from her vision. And that something is a little program called, 'Pennyvision'."

"Pennyvision? Is that what caused her to see nothing but rainbows and cuteness?" Jaune asked.

"Correct. Once they installed Pennyvision into her mainframe, the horrors of war were soon replaced by cuteness. The program worked well… too well."

The students felt a sense of eeriness from the Doctor.

"Once the trial run was over, they attempted to turn the program off. Only… it won't turn off. And when one of the scientists tried to remove it manually, P.E.N.N.Y. killed them on the spot."

Most of the audience gasped, hearing that the once gentle automaton just killed someone in cold blood.

"They then tried to take her down, but she was designed for combat. As a result, the whole lab turned into a massive bloodbath. With no other choice, they grab some flamethrowers and try to burn her alive."

The Doc pulls up the next slide showing a group of scientists equipped with flamethrowers, spewing fire all over the android as she consumes in flames. The slide shocks the Beacon side of the audience as Tyrain enjoys the carnage.

"As P.E.N.N.Y. was surrounded by flame, she felt incredible. Instead of pain, she felt pleasure. Instead of suffering, she felt joy. And she wants to share it with everyone. She grabbed one of the scientist flamethrowers from within the flames and set the rest of the group ablaze."

The next slide shows P.E.N.N.Y. setting everything on fire with the stolen flamethrower with a warped smile on her face.

"Darktarch, despite his decrepit state, has managed to make it out alive as he watches the facility burn to the ground. As the fire died down, he led P.E.N.N.Y. to his brother hoping she would destroy some of his property. Only, somehow, despite all odds. Lightmond manages to tame her with a lighter and some gummy bears."

The next slide shows just that, as Lightmond holds out a lit lighter and some gummy bears to P.E.N.N.Y. as she accepts his offer. Some of the Inner Circle were baffled how easy it was to quell her madness.

"Despite losing his prototype, Darktarch prefers that she stay as far away from him as possible. As P.E.N.N.Y. renamed Penny, now works under Lightmond as Team Fortress' Pyro."

Penny thought back to all those atrocities her counterpart committed. "So all of this happened all because of a program in my core."

The Temp Host Nods, "I'll tell more about later, but first we need to finish the film first."

Penny complies as the Doc continues the film.

"If you believe in magic, come along with me."

In Pennyland, Penny skips through town with the rest of the Cherubs swarming around her as she summons a pink balloonicorn in front of Cherub Roman and Watts as they ride atop the rubber unicorn.

Neo tugs Roman's sleeve, pointing at the screen as if to say "I want a pink unicorn."

Torchwick just smiles, "We'll get you one afterward, don't worry."

"We'll dance until morning, just you and me."

The Cherubs all gather up at the edge of town, waving goodbye to Penny as she leaves town, satisfied with another job well done.

Cinder, Tyrian, and Salem begged for this wholesome nightmare to end as Neo quickly sketched every Cherub on her notebook.

"And maybe, if the music is right…"

As they waved, a fiery explosion erupted behind them, transitioning to reality as the laughing Cherubs turned into screaming Team Castle members.

Everything is exploding as Adam lays on the ground being consumed by flames screaming "I'm burning!" as bodies go flying and Mercury runs by screaming trying to put himself out.

Emerald defenestrated herself out a burning building, landing face first on the ground. The Team Castle Sniper crawled across the dirt grabbing a leg as she cried out for help, only to realize she grabbed Penny's leg. The Team Fortress Pyro aims her flamethrower at Emerald and sets the enemy sniper ablaze, tilting her head as she hears Emerald scream.

Emerald felt like this was karmic justice, but she doesn't know why.

The end credits play as the camera zooms out from Penny's face as she is placed far left of the group.

"If you believe in magic…"

In Pennyland, Penny strides into the sunset as it pans out through a burnt gaping hole that is Cinders stomach. Death finally caught up to her as she fell forward, revealing the aftermath the Team Fortress Pyro brought to the town. Penny whistles the rest of the song as corpses litter the streets and buildings crumble to pieces before her as the film ends.


"So this is who Penny is." Cinder said out loud, after Salem, Tyrian, and her calmed down from watching a cutesy hellscape known as Pennyland. "An schizophrenic anarchist who is unaware of her actions because a program is making her think she is spreading joy, but in reality she is causing fear. Her own team probably thinks she's a monster."

Ruby stares daggers at the False Fall Maiden as she comforts Penny. And the Android wants to cry but can't since her father hadn't installed tear ducts yet.

"No, Actually." Corrected The Temp host.

"No?" Penny and Ruby said in sync, wondering what he meant.

The Doctor plays a short film for her to watch.


The short begins taking place after 'Meet the Pyro', with Penny approaching a massive blast door with a red cross on it to what seems to be an abandoned hospital. She knocks and waits for a couple seconds before the doors slide open. It was Pyrrha who opened it as she peered her head from behind the thick slab of metal.

"Penny! There you are!" The Soldier said excitedly, as if she was happy to see her. "We were wondering where you went. Come in, come in."

Penny pondered as to why she's so happy to see her when everyone else runs in fear.

The Pyro followed her into the building as the doors closed behind her. Faint sounds of music can be heard echoing throughout the halls. It gets louder and louder till they enter a room where the music is blasting at full volume and most of the Team Fortress mercenaries are having a party. The room used to be the hospital lobby, but they converted it into a party room as everyone is having a great time.

Ruby is sitting behind the reception desk as the DJ, playing 'Requiem for a Fish' by The Freak Fandango Orchestra, on a jukebox she built. Ren and Blake having a conversation with drinks in their hands as Nora dances with a bucket on her head.

In the center of the room hanging upside down are Hazel, Mercury, and Roman, all tied up to each other and dangling by their feet. Yang kept them suspended in the via pulley system as Jaune kept hitting them with a metal bat like a pinata, As they cried out in pain, begging to be let down.

"We heard that they were talking shit about you during an interview. So we kidnapped and turned them into human pinatas as punishment." Pyrrha explains as the three Team Castle members scream in the background.

"Alright, alright, I won't call your psychopath a freak! Just let me go!" Mercury cried out as Jaune came swinging right at his face.

Mercury winced, rubbing his cheek where the rival scout hit. The rest of Team JNPR were surprised to see this side of their leader, wondering if his interaction with Cardin would end differently if the red-headed brute had bullied his friends instead of him.

"Weiss wouldn't be joining us unfortunately." Pyrrha said as she offered Penny an extra bat, "She's working on something big, so she's pulling an all-nighter, and wants you to wacky the pinatas for her. Would you care to join?"

Penny the Pyro, all giddy with glee, accepts and joins in the party as the mercs take turns whacking the three hostages all throughout the night.

And with that, the film ends. [5]


Cinder laughed her ass off before immediately silenced again by Neo's death stare as she peered into her soul.

All of Penny's sadness washed away with the knowledge that her teammates cared for her.

"Believe it or not, the whole team is just as insane as you are." The Doctor explains much to the audience disbelief. "Despite each member being more insane than the last, they make up for it in conradary. If one of their teammates is in trouble, they'll rush in to aid."

The audience remembered the scene where Pyrrha the Soldier was talking to a bunch of severed heads like their recruits, and Nora downing bottle of liquid sugar.

Ruby and Penny however are happy that their team accepts who she is and are willing to defend if need be.

Yang looks over to her white-haired partner, "I believe you're up next, Ice Queen."

Weiss, ignore being called that asks the Temp Host a question. "You said you've saved mine as best for last. Do I play a major role in my team?"

"Oh yes." the Doc answered. "And let me tell you, you're quite the character. But best I show you rather than tell."

The Heiress felt quite off as Doctor Stirling prepared the film, getting better and better every time he set it up. What did he mean by quite the character by describing Weiss' counterpart. There's only one way to find out as the film starts rolling.


The film starts with a view of a peaceful mountainous background where birds are chipping and everything is calm. That peace soon disappears as rocket, lights, and sounds of explosion go off in the distance, as Jaune and Nora jump over a rock, scaring away a crow that was minding its own business.

"Move cyclops, move!" cried out Jaune as they tried to get away from the chaos.

Both are heavily injured as they are covered in bandages and Nora is wheelchair bound.

"Come on, come on, almost-" Said the Team Fortress Scout as he helps push Nora's chair as a stray rocket knocks him into a cliff face, separating him and his partner.

Nora wants to go back, but she has no choice but to leave him as she sees three missiles arcing towards them.

Jaune tries to pick himself up, groaning in pain, he looks up to see the missiles coming towards him as he screams. "Whoa, the F-" before he could swear, the missiles detonated upon impact, sending him flying into a window. The window cracked as if he broke the Big Screen.

Most of the audience winced when Jaune the Scout impacted the window.

"Seems we're off to a bad start." said Jaune as he rubs his cheek, feeling the pain of his counterpart.

"I'll say!" exclaimed Nora. "We're getting our asses handed to them."

"Doesn't help that you're both heavily injured." Ren points out their bandages. "You both are in no condition to fight. Especially when one of you is wheelchair bound."

"Maybe they're escaping from an ambush." Ruby guesses. "Like they were in the middle of recovering from the last mission, but Team Castle was tired of having their asses kicked the past eight shorts, so they decided to bring the fight to them."

"Medic." he said as a white dove head pops up from the other side of the window, cooing in curiosity.

The Title Card pops in with usual fanfare as it reads "Meet the Medic". A bloody bucket filled with a bomb and a human heart sat under the title with a bird feather next to it.

"So I'm the team's medic." Weiss estimated when reading the title. "Never thought of myself as a caretaking type, but I'm not complaining."

"No doubt you're the most sane of the groups." Winter complimented her sister. "In the team full of crazed gunmen and lunatics. You're most likely to keep everyone together."

Laugher can be heard as Jaune slides off the window pane as sounds of muffled explosions go off in the background. The camera pans down to a white-haired girl wearing glasses, performing open-heart surgery on Yang with her bare hands while she was still awake. Doves fly overhead as the two laugh, trying to catch their breath.

"Wait, wait, wait- it gets better." Weiss said as she held Yang's heart in her hand. "When my father woke up, his skeleton was missing, and the doctor was never heard from again!"

Weiss the Medic laughed followed by Yang after taking in what her doctor just told. Yang Slammed her hand on the table next to her in her fit of laughter, causing some of the 'improv' medical equipment to fall to the floor.

"Ah, anyway… that's how I lost my medical licence."

The room was completely silent once more as the audience sat with a thousand-yard stare with drop jaws and bug-eyes. There were many ways to describe Weiss Schnee, lack of sanity is not one of them.

Ruby averted her eyes, not wanting to see her teammate performing open-heart surgery on her sister, going. "Ew, ew, ew, ew, EW!"

"Uhh… I think what you meant to say is that she's the most "insane" of the group." Qrow attempted to correct the eldest Schneebling, only to be punched in the face.

"Ahem, Dr Stirling." Weiss clears her throat to get the Temp Host attention.

"Yes Ms. Schnee?"

The Heiress took a deep breath before getting what she wanted to say out of her system. "WHAT THE F*K!"

Everyone jumped a bit away from her outburst. Blake and Velvet rubbed their Faunus ears as Penny adjusted her audio input again.

"Why am I performing open-heart surgery on Yang! Why am I doing it with my bare hands! What was that about me losing my medical licence because I stole my father's skeleton?!"

Weiss kept piling on question after question, till the Doctor put a stop to it.

"Calm down! Calm down. I'll try to explain everything with a short story." The Doctor clears his throat. "She was once a well renowned doctor from a family of doctors. Constantly performing miracles, and revolutionizing modern medicine. Even as a child, she memorized every medical practice, every disease, every prescription. She was a prodigy."

Winter is happy to hear her sister's counterpart's success, but her happiness soon fades, wondering how Weiss the Medic came to be.

"But fame also brought envy from competitors. Weiss soon found out all her ideas and practices had been plagiarized without her knowledge. It didn't take her long to find the root cause of her credit stealing problem back to its source. And it was none other than her own father, Jacque Schnee, CEO of Schnee Health Center."

"Of course my father would steal all my hard work!" The Heiress said, all piss off. "That man is nothing but a humanoid parasite!"

"Funny, that's pretty much how your counterpart describes Jacque as she confronts him. They argued for what felt like hours till the CEO snaps saying, "You should have been a nurse like the women!" and she snapped. She took the bust of Hippocrates and turned Hippocratic Oath into the Hippocratic Suggestion as she beat him in the head with it."

"That horrible." said Ruby.

Weiss was equally shocked, "I know I hate my father, but I never go so far as to murder."

"It gets worse."

Everyone was surprised to hear that.

"She dragged her unconscious father by the coat and strapped him to an operating table."

"I don't like where this is going." Stated Jaune.

"Once the CEO woke up, he found himself strapped and gagged as Weiss made her preparations. She blasted loud opera music to muffle Jacque screams as she operated his body without applying anesthetics, surgically removing his skeleton, one bone at a time."

Adam and Tyrian were enjoying it up until this point. Now they felt uncomfortable.

"Despite all that, he somehow is still alive. When he came to, he realized he was nothing more but a pile of wrinkly flesh. Weiss was nowhere to be found as she submitted her two weeks notice in the form of a shredded up medical licence. The last anyone saw her is when she hopped into an ambulance with a bag full of bloody bones and drove off, never to be seen again."

"Why did she shred her license?" Penny asked

"I think I know why." Said Weiss, "It's because I cause harm to Father while he's on the table. Therefore I was unfit to be a licensed doctor."

Jaune was hesitant to ask, but his curiosity got the better of him. "Not wanting to sound rude by changing the subject Dr. Stirling. But what exactly happened to the Jacque skeleton?"

"Oh, she hung it right over there." The Doctor pointed to the screen.

The audience looked to where the Temp Host was pointing, and lo and behold. In the background behind Weiss, right next to Yang's X-ray pics hangs The CEO's skeleton. A huge crack can be seen on the cranium where the Mad Doctor stuck. Doves sat atop its shoulder blades as they riddle the nothing more than decoration skeleton with bird poop. [6]

The ones who saw the skeleton earlier and thought it was just poorly maintained prop, immediately became stittish when they realized it was an actual skeleton.

"Jacque Schnee is still alive by the way." Dr. Stirling clarified. "After the incident, he got himself an artificial skeleton to stuff his meat suit with. The procedure was a success, but he's forever scared in more ways than one. Not only is he covered in stitches, he had to step down as CEO as he now lives in constant fear that his daughter would one day come back to finish the job."

"You weren't kidding about the whole team being full of lunatics." Weiss said as she looked down at the floor. "I thought I would be the straight woman keeping them in line, but in reality, I'm the most insane of them all."

"There's nothing wrong with that." Pyrrha tries cheering the Heiress up.

Weiss looked up at the Invincible Girl in confusion to what she meant by that.

"Yes. Your counterpart just skinned your father till he's nothing but a living husk. But remember that my counterpart was talking to a bunch of severed heads at the end of my film, and I'm alright with that." She explained, as Weiss gave her a surprised look. "Think of your counterparts as one who you wish you could be. One who is free from the societal shackles that your father gave you. It is what I thought of myself, and I'm enjoying watching my counterpart, despite their flaws."

The Heiress thought to herself for a minute and realized Pyrrha is right. So what if her counterpart is violating the hippocratic oath right now. She is free from everything her father entrapped in. Free to do everything she wants, whenever she wants. True she's pretty much a social outcast, but so are all her teammates, and what other place to be than hanging out with misfits like her.

"You know what. You're right." Weiss agreed with Pyrrha's statement. "I should accept who my counterpart is, flaws and all. I mean, who's gonna judge, Father… that deadbeat parasite is not even here and my counterpart cut ties with him long ago on her own accord."

Winter smiles at her sister as Weiss looks over to the Temp Host once more, "So where were we?" she asks, wanting to continue her film.

"I believe we're at the part where you're in the middle of performing open-heart surgery on your teammate without wearing gloves." He replied nonchalantly.

The audience's smiles soon faded away once they were reminded that Weiss the Medic is doing something in Ruby's own words, 'really really gross', as The Doctor continues the film.

As Weiss finished her story, a dove popped out of Yang's open-chest cavity covered in her blood. It cooed as it rummaged through the Heavy Weapons Gal's inners like its a nest.

"Archimedes, No!" Weiss shoo away the bloodied dove, "It's filthy in there. Uck." the two looked at each other before Weiss chuckles, "Birds, ha ha ha"

The more squeamish audience members got shivers down their spine watching a bird pop out of Yang's guts.

"Now that's just unsanitary." Glynda commented.

Weiss just smiles. As much as she loves Zwei, she always wanted a pet dove. But she fears her father would have kept it in a cage, unable to fly, much like her life before applying to Beacon.

Her counterpart not only has multiple of them. They're all flying to their heart's content.

The Mad Doctor grabbed a strange device with a dial labeled 'Uber" off a nearby table and casually stuck Yang's heart onto it.

"Now, most heart wouldn't withstand this voltage, but I'm fairly certain your heart-"

As she positions the heart under a red beam that's keeping Yang alive, it explodes into a bloody mess. A piece of Yang's heart knocked Archimedes off its perch as a silhouetted figure with bunny ears watched the operation from a window.

"Birdy No!" Ruby calls out, concerned for Archimedes.

Yang slowly turned towards Weiss with jaw dropped and pupils dilated. "Weiss… how could you."

"Wha… I… I'm sorry…" The Heiress fumbles her words trying to defend herself. "I didn't know it would explode. I thought it would handle it."

"You didn't need to be a heartbreaker."

The room was silent for a couple seconds before the audience groaned when they realized it was a setup for another pun.

Weiss' eyes twitched as she placed her hand on Yang's shoulder, then another hand on the other shoulder. Then proceeded to choke the shit out of Yang, like she was a yellow skinned middle aged man choking his bastard son.

It took Ruby and her friends everything to separate the two as Yang's face turns blue. Even Glynda had to use her semblance to release Weiss' grasp. Salem smiled as she wished she was the one to strangle her.

Yang was able to breathe again, coughing a couple of times as she whimpered, "Worth it."

After a stern talk from Ms. Goodwitch, the two settle their differences and continue watching the film.

"What was noise?" Heavy Weapons Yang asks, unaware that she literally became heartless.

"The sound of progress, my friend." Weiss replied as she removed what was left of Yang's heart off the Uber device.

The Mad Doctor opens a fridge full of beer, food, and different size hearts.

"Ah, perfect." Weiss grabbed a massive heart that was labeled, 'Mega Baboon'.

When she picks it up, she reveals the Head of Roman Torchwick hidden behind it. The head is still alive, smoking his cigarette thanks to Weiss' battery powered device around his stump. He even has an ashtray to put out his smoke.

The Inner Circle laughed at the Ginger Criminal's predicament.

"Well." Spoke Cinder. "First you were a body with no head, now you're a head with no body."

Roman was unamused as he felt Neo tugging on his sleeve. "What is it?" He asks Neo as she hands over her scroll for him to read.

"Yo, Doc!" Roman calls for The Temp Host attention. "Neo asks if the reason Team Castle is attacking is because Team Fortress has my head as a hostage."

"That is exactly what is happening." answered the Doctor. "Recently, Weiss discovered a loophole when it comes to the respawning mechanic: that is, in order to respawn, one must be completely dead. So for shits and giggles, Weiss kidnapped Roman by chopping off his head in one swift motion, hooking it up to a battery to keep his brain active, and now the machine won't let him respawn as it think they're still healthy as if they have never been decapitated."

"And now she's keeping me in her fridge like a pet." said Torchwick.

"Pretty much. And now Team Castle is here to get their spy back." The Temp Host then continue the film.

"Kill me." Roman's head Requested in a monotone voice as if he asked so many times before.

"Later."

The Mad Doctor closes the door and towards Yang.

"Where was I? Ah, there we go." She stuck the device onto the mega baboon heart, and held it under the beam with both hands.

The massive heart started to beat as Weiss went, "Come on, come on." as it beats faster and faster.

The music became more intense as the Doctor began to laugh maniacally, causing Yang to laugh worryingly, turning her head away as if the heart was going to blow up.

Everyone leans back on their chair gripping their armrests, bracing for the worse as some members of the Inner Circle make a mental note to stay as far away from her as possible.

As the dove sidestep away from Archimedes and Weiss close her eyes, expecting for the worse. Nothing happened. The Mad Doctor opens her eyes back up to see her experiment is a complete success. The heart glows red in aura as it beats steadily in her hands.

"Oh, that looks good." she said as she casually dropped into Yang's chest cavity with a loud plop. "Very nice there."

"Should I be awake for this?" Yang asks with concern.

"I'm more concerned about whether or not it would fit." Yang pointed out. "It's bigger than my head… it's bigger than my chest!" She grabbed her breasts.

"Ah heh. Well, no." Weiss responded honestly as she adjusted her glasses, "But as long as you are, could you hold your ribcage open a bit?" She tries to push the heart in as Yang did just that. "I can't… seem…"

A loud snap can be heard as Yang screams in pain. Weiss has accidentally broken off one of Yang's ribs as the Heavy Weapons Gal holds the bone in her hand.

The Blonde Brawer wincted as she clutched her side, like she's feeling her counterpart's pain.

"Oh, don't be such a baby," Weiss pinched Yang's cheek as she took the rib from her hand, "...Ribs grow back!"

The Mad Doctor tosses the rib over her shoulder as she whispers to Archimedes, "No they don't."

"Actually, they sort of do." Penny pointed out. "I did some quick research and ribs do in fact regenerate, be it real slow."

"Huh… the more you know," said Ruby as she learned something new today.

Weiss moved the beam close to Yang, closing up her chest cavity with angelic music playing as Yang's bone, skin, and clothes mended back together as if it never happened.

Ruby gasps in amazement by Weiss' healing beam, as she watches it put her sister back together. "That is cool!" She said with enthusiasm. "What's that healing device?"

"That is Weiss' latest and greatest invention. The Quick-Fix." The Doctor answered. "Early in her new career as a mercenary, she realized her comrades are dropping faster than she can heal with current practices. And when respawning makes you come back fully healed. Some preferred killing themselves to respawn rather than wait for Weiss to slowly recover them, making her feel obsolete."

Some of the students of Beacon felt bad for Weiss the Medic, especially Jaune as he knows how it feels to be useless before he accepted help.

"So She spent the next couple months planning and inventing a device that could heal her team's wounds faster than they could get them. Soon it became a reality when she finished her prototype she named the Quick-Fix."

"Prototype is right. Looking closely. It seems that she built it with a blender and a bunch of scraps." Ironwood points out. "I'll give her points for ingenuity"

"But she isn't done yet." Dr. Stirling continues. "As she just finished something revolutionary, and Yang is going to be her first test subject."

Everyone was concerned about what he meant.

Jaune was the first to ask, "What exactly did she do to Yang?"

There was a moment of silence before the Temp Host answered. "To quote Weiss. "It would turn Men into Gods."

Heavy Weapons Yang took a deep breath before asking, "what happens now?"

"Now?" The Mad Doctor chuckles as she helps Yang up. "Let's go practice medicine."


Marching drums sound as Weiss is gearing up.

It then cuts to some blast doors opening up. Choir and harps hype up Weiss' entrances as a light shines behind her and her doves flew out the building, making her look like an angel. She wears a white coat and red rubber gloves as she holds the Quick-Fix in hands and a tesla pack strap to her back.

"Way to hype yourself up Weiss." Yang elbowed her partner.

"A Schnee must always be presentable." explain Weiss, "Insane as my counterpart is, at least she knows how to make her presence known."

Yang exited past Weiss as she surveyed the chaos that is the battlefield. Team Castle is just beyond the hills as they bombard Team Fortress with rockets. Ruby is taking cover being a rock with Ren as she attempts to repair her Sentry. Pyrrha, Penny, and Blake are providing cover fire for Nora as she is wheeling herself to safety, only for one of Cinder's rockets to blast the Demo off her chair as she screams "MEDIC!"

"This is your moment Weiss." Winter said to her sister, "Show everyone what you can do."

Weiss pushes up her glasses smiling as she turns on the Quick-Fix with a flick of a switch. The music intensifies as she pushes the lever atop the Quick-Fix, healing Nora off all her injuries.

The Demo rips off her cast and bandages, getting back on her feets as she picks up her sticky bomb launcher. She nods to Weiss as she gets back into the fight.

The Medic then aims the Quick-Fix to Jaune who was laying on the ground the entire fight. She heals all his bruises and regrew his lost tooth with a cartoonish ding.

"Wait. She can make you grow a new set of teeth but can't give me a new eye." Complained Nora.

"Again, it's a long story." The Doc explained. "Just wait till next Halloween. Then I'll give you your answer."

The Scout jumped up excitedly as he pulled out a metal bat and charged forward going "Woo Hoo Hoo!" as he ran past Yang who was taking cover behind a truck.

He ran up to Mercury who was coming out of hiding from behind a rock, only to get hit in the face by Jaune's bat as he goes, "Oh Yeah!"

"Gonna feel that one in the morning." Said mercury as he placed his hand on his head where Jaune struck.

Yang peaked around cover to not just one, but multiple Cinders charging towards them with the rest of Team Castle.

"Woah!" Exclaimed Emerald and many other audience members. not expecting to see clones of her boss.

"I forgot to mention that not only did the Brother invest in a respawning machine. They also invest in cloning to cover more ground." Explained the Temp Host, "So expect to see lots of clones of yourself and your friends. Especially Ruby. [7]

Ruby doesn't know what The Doc meant by that.

"Doctor! Are you sure this will work!?" Yang calls out to her Medic.

"Ha Ha, I have no idea!" Weiss said with complete madness.

"That's the last thing you want to hear from any doctor!" Exclaim the Heiress. "Especially from me!"

Flicking a switch that read, "Ubercharge ready" her pack started arcing with red electricity.

Yang jumps out of cover screaming, "Yah! ha ha!" as Weiss hit her with the charged up beam. The camera zooms inside Yang showing her massive heart as it beats faster and faster. The dial on the device is at max as it makes the Heart glow red. Soon Yang's entire body glows a bright red and her eyes glow bright yellow.

Everyone jaws on the floor as Ruby and Nora's eyes sparkle in awe from the sheer awesomeness radiating off of Heavy Weapons Yang.

As the duo march forward, a rocket makes a direct impact to Yang's chest, only for her to walk out of the smoke unharmed as she laughs.

"Ha Ha Ha! I am Bulletproof!"

The rest of Team Fortress watch with awe as Heavy and Medic walk towards the incoming army of Cinders. Bullets and rockets bounce off Yang's chest as she single handley mows down the entire battalion with her beloved Sasha.

The music crescendos as they climb the mountain of Cinders as Weiss steps on one of the Cinders face. When they reach the top, doves fly over the duo as the horns, guitar, and choirs peak.

The End Credits play with the team now complete as stands grinning at the far right of the group photo.

It then cuts to most of Team Fortress sitting in the waiting room, most likely getting their Uber heart transplant as Ruby plays her guitar, Blake reads her ticket number, Penny playing with her lighter while reading a magazine, Pyrrha standing in attention, Nora downing a bottle of maple syrup, and Ren taking a nap.

Weiss can be heard on the other side of the door as she finishes working on Jaune. "That looks good. Very nice there."

"Hey, thanks doc." After complimenting his team doctor, Jaune the Scout kicks open the door proudly, showing his team the new him as the sign reads 'now serving 2'. "Aw, man. You would not believe how much this hurts."

His chest bulge as muffled dove cooing can be heard within. It was clear that Archimedes has snuck inside Jaune inners during the procedure and is now trapped.

The film ends as the Scout looks down in surprise as the Mad Doctor calls out, "Archimedes?" looking for him.

The fearless leader of JNPR got goosebumps as he felt butterflies in his stomach before, but never wanting to imagine what having Archimedes in his chest feels like.


Author's Closing Notes: This chapter took over 10,000 words and almost a month for me to finish thanks to the holiday rush. Work took a lot of energy out of me as I work at a bakery, and you would not believe how fast the cookies disappear after taking them out of the oven.

I have been coming home exhausted, unable to write a paragraph, as well as overcoming writer's blocks.

Now finally able to submit it before christmas, you'll get the next chapter pretty soon now that I'll finish the Meet the Series. Now the fun will truly begin and it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.


Author's Footnote

[1]- This is my in-universe reason as to why the cast keeps coming back after dying so many times. (This would also lead into Emesis Blue. I'm not sure whether or not I should cover it. But I'll leave it on the table if I make the final decision.)

[2]- Yes. I've K'nuckles her drinking habits.

[3]- I didn't want her friends to talk bad about her, so I made it where the mercs from Team Castle are the ones being interviewed.

[4]- I would imagine them loathing cute/wholesomeness. And if they interacted with Ruby more often in the main story, they would despise her because of her puppy dog face.

[5]- I added that last bit to make Penny feel better about herself. Showing that the mercs do care for each other despite how insane each of them were.

[6]- I would imagine Weiss using her father's skeleton as a prop in her office. Not caring whether or not her birds poop on it.

[7]- This is also my in-universe reason as to why there are multiplies of the same person.
