I want to thank you all for those who supported my works. It really means a lot to me. I also want to thank everyone who spared a few minutes of their time to read this story.
I do not own Red vs. Blue, Halo, nor RWBY
Here we go
"Do you really think this was a wise decision president Kimball?" a councilman asked her. Kimball was currently in a meeting with Gulch's other political and military leaders regarding the plan of establishing peace with the other kingdoms. General Doyle was sitting next to her, with the Director and counselor, and Chairman Hargrove not too far.
"I say we nuke them!" a grizzled war veteran protested. "We now have the firepower to do so. We can drop orbital bombardments with them not even noticing til' the last second."
A few nods and murmurs of agreement followed after the bold statement. The man then continued "They provoked us first when we had nothing to do with their stupid squabble. Let this be a lesson to them. We drop havok nukes on them and strike with our MAC cannons! What are the purpose of our starships if we do not use them in battle?" he pounded a fist on the table.
"No." Kimball replied back in a stern voice. "We will not be reinstating another Great War. If we do this, then we are no better than what they did to us in the first place."
"I have to agree." General Doyle joined in on the conversation. "While they may have attacked us first during the war, that is all in the past now. We must not let that get over our heads. Instead, we will be doing the opposite if we are not to follow in their footsteps, which is why we will be offering a peaceful conference."
"As if they even stand a chance against us." a politician piped up. "I say we display the full might of Gulch's army and show them what we are capable of accomplishing."
"Put that all in the past now eh?" an officer in the army butted in. "Well, tell that to the innocent people and families they have all killed."
Doyle sighed sadly. While it was true that all of the harsh events they experienced in the war was a long time ago, he couldn't blame the families who have lost their loved ones who died bravely in battle or have been mercilessly killed, being angry at the rest of the world. But responding with violence at a time of peace wasn't the right answer and will only lead to another conflict at their hands. Who knows how advanced the other kingdoms are now and to have all four of them join forces in attacking Gulch again wasn't a nice picture to imagine in his mind.
Kimball placed both her arms on the table. "I am sorry for all of your losses. I really am. But attacking and killing their civilians, who didn't have any part on the war will only paint us in a bad light. We aren't going to stoop down to their level by harming innocents."
"It will also be good for business" added Malcolm Hargrove. "Once we get to have some of their resources, it might put us at an advantage."
"But don't they use dust? We don't need that here, that stuff's useless." replied a councilwoman.
"A little experimenting won't do no harm. Besides, once we showcase our innovations, I'm pretty sure the citizens of Remnant will be wanting them badly. It will make Gulch the business center and richest place in Remnant if we outdo their own companies and businesses. It will only boost our economic stability as a country if we manage to make peace with them." Hargrove finished.
"Sure cuz that's all you ever think about." an officer remarked.
"It has got me to where I am now." The chairman of Charon Industries retorted.
Meanwhile, a pair of armored soldiers stood guard at the room, listened in on the assembly. Those soldiers being Felix and Locus.
The orange trooper tapped his foot impatiently and muttered "When the fuck are they ever going to send us out? I'm itching for the action. How come those stupid sim troopers get to go first."
Locus, who was used to hearing Felix bitch and whine everyday, groaned and answered to his partner.
"Will you just have patience? The Chairman will be giving our orders soon. The last time you ever disobeyed command led you to being punished severely just because you couldn't think about waiting. Having a little bit of patience wouldn't hurt now right?"
"Come on Sammy-"
"Codenames" Locus growled.
"-that was a one time thing. All we ever do is wait! We never get involved in the good shit now! I don't understand on why they even let that maniac Sharkface get to do cool operations."
This was just another day for Locus. Wake up, eat, wait for orders, accomplish the mission, put up with his partner, sleep, then repeat. That was all he ever knew and did. Sometimes, he felt that he was a machine more than a man, which is why he chose to take up the codename of the armor he was wearing. Nothing ever really impressed him now. No matter how hard Felix will try to lighten him up, it always fails. Which is why this felt like another day in the office for him. He tuned out on what his partner was ranting and focused on what the people in the meeting were debating.
"How is the completion of the Infinity by the way?" asked General Doyle.
One of the officers in the army responded for him. "The ship will be ready in 3 to 4 months now sir. The slipspace drives have been a success as well. We tested it on the UGM Resilience and it functioned properly. According to what our scientists said, it took only two days for the ship to reach the planet Xena, and another two for it to travel back to Remnant."
Gulch has also invested it's time in studying the stars and planets by funding for observatories, space telescopes and space stations for them to study the heavenly bodies. They also sent the first man on Remnant's moon and of it's broken pieces. They also made a few discoveries, one of them being Xena, a planet whose conditions are similar to that of Remnant. With oceans and land present. Some of the scientists speculate that the planet can be habitable where they sent a few astronauts there to explore it.
"If those slipspace drives truly do what they were made to, then I say we send engineers and architects to plan and build a colony over there so we can live on that planet." another councilman said. "Think about it, we are considered outcasts by the other kingdoms and with the Great War that had happened only bolstered the proof that we are not welcome here. I propose that when the Infinity is completed, we send people to that planet Xena, and start making a new colony for our people to live in. It will add another achievement in Gulch's history. A big one nonetheless."
Kimball cut in "But that would result in a huge funding for this operation." She said as she wiped her forehead with a handkerchief. "Think of all the resources we will be using, the plenty of people we need to hire, the planning we will need for this. I am sorry but that proposal shall be for another time. Right now, we need to focus on establishing peace with the rest of Remnant."
"Why would we need to do that Ms. President?' a councilman asked.
Kimball sighed, clasped her hands, and placed it on the table. "Because we need to learn to put all of this behind us. The paranoia, the fear, all of it has to stop. Yes, we did suffer greatly during the war but all of that was long ago. During our years of peace, we have taught our citizens that there is always an enemy that we need to hate outside of our nation. I want to stop that. What I dream of is that our country and the kingdoms can come to a civil discussion and finally reconnect with the rest of the world. I want our people and our future children to coexist peacefully with others outside our country. That is what I plan. Continuing down this path of hate will not do us any good."
Some of the people were moved by her speech and agreed with her, while the others were still of unsure what to do.
"What we need to do now is to make sure this operation will be a success. I have faith in the soldiers who volunteered with this mission. Wile we wait for the results of this plan, I now fully dismiss this assembly. Thank you all for coming." Kimball concluded.
Meanwhile on a pelican en route to Vale
In the troop bay sat nine individuals in varying states of boredom. The Reds and Blues were one of the volunteer groups who were assigned to scout Vale.
Grif decided to break the silence with a stressed groan.
"Gods, why didn't they decide to put windows on this thing. That way, I wouldn't have to be staring at you fuckers." Grif said. The lazy member of the reds wore an orange shirt, some tattered jeans and a pair of sneakers.
"Oh, our faces are irresistible." Tucker replied. "One look and you can't get enough."
"Grif, even if the pelican has any windows, all you would be looking at are endless groups of clouds and blue sky. It will be pointless" Simmons answered to his partner. Simmons' outfit contrasted Grif's greatly. The nerdy red wore a marron blazer over a red dress shirt, with black dress pants and business shoes. Some would say he was wearing something a bit too formal for a combat mission but eh, who cares?
"Oh hogwash." Sarge complained. "For once, I have to agree with this useless pile of lard here." he motioned his hands towards Grif. "Windows are completely useful. That way, I could just smash it and throw Grif out instead of having to press the door switch which would suck us all out." Sarge was wearing a red amo shirt with combat pants and boots. Thear was also tactical fingerless shooting gloves in his hands.
Lopez just muted his ears in order not to listen to the bickering.
Caboose then joined in the conversation. "I like windows." he said, "it allows me to play I spy. Oh, how about we play right now? I spy with my little eye someone who looks like Church!"
There was silence.
"Why isn't anyone answering me?"
Church groaned in annoyance. "Will any of you fools shut up? I'm trying to sleep here?"
"Oh yes! Church knows the answer!"
"Shut up Caboose." Church retorted. "When is this flight gonna land? My ass is starting to numb sitting in these rock hard chairs." he complained
Sounds of munching can be heard as the group turned towards Donut who was eating something. "Aw don't worry Church, I know something else that's rock hard." Donut reached for his pocket and gave Church a packet of food. "Here, help yourself to my nuts!" Donut shook the packet of peanuts in front of Church's face. Donut wore a pink jacket with a white designer polo shirt underneath it. He also wore beige pants with penny loafers
"Bow chicka bow wow!" Tucker exclaimed.
Church groaned yet again. "I appreciate the offer Donut, but I'm full. Maybe later."
"Okay~!" the pink grenadier cheerily replied. "What about you guys? Here, I still have plenty. Don't eat fast now. I wouldn't want you guys choking when you eat my nuts."
Almost everyone in the dropship, even the pilot and copilot, cringed at Donut's innuendo with the oblivious lightish-red soldier not knowing what the word meant. Caboose merely smiled, also not knowing what Donut's remark just meant.
"Bow chicka bow- oof" Tucker was cut off from continuing as Church elbowed his side.
"Worth it" the aqua member of the blues muttered.
Doc meanwhile, was just relaxing and listening to music on his MP3 player while reading some basic info of Vale.
"Man, how long are we gonna stay in Vale? I don't want to miss my dose of daily basketball." Tucker said out loud.
"Wait, you're a fan?" asked Church.
"Heck yeah dude. Lakers gonna win 2nd straight again. The King, the GOAT, LeBron won't bow down to no one!"
"Good luck with that." Grif said. "Dame Dolla be will be shooting them dagger threes. Blazers in six."
"Nuh-uh." Simmons replied. "Curry has got more range. Plus, when Klay come's back from his injury, the Warriors will be the top seed in the west again."
"Hate to burst your bubble Tucker, but LeBron's injured." Church spoke to him.
"Wait what!?"
"Uh, yeah. I read in the news earlier. Lebron injured his ankle and may be out indefinitely."
"Great, so him and AD are both out now? No matter, they'll pull through."
"What about Mr. Westbrook?" Caboose questioned. "I like the Thunder."
Tucker replied for Caboose. "Sorry man, but the guy plays for the Washigton Wizards now."
"So him and Agent Washingtub are wizards now? That is neat!"
Tucker shook his head in annoyance and grinned towards Church. "So buddy, how are your Cavs doing?"
"Collin Sexton will be great. Just you wait."
"The only ball game I love is Griffball. Yessiree. I would love nothing more than to pummel that lazy good for nothing bastard with that experimental gravity hammer haha!." Sarge proudly exclaimed. "I could happily remember, Grif having a hard time carrying that bomb and then wham! I sent the greaseball soaring through the sky like a bird.
"Go screw yourself old man!" Grif yelled. (Thanks to TheFishKing for adding this idea)
Their flight continued for a few more hours before the Pilot in the cockpit spoke up. "Attention gentlemen and robot. We're approaching the kingdom of Vale."
This was it. The moment is nearing. Church began examining his weapons to check if they are okay with the others doing the same. It's mission time.
