"Where are we?" I asked as I couldn't find us on the map, because it wasn't working. We walked on, with us passing through a gate, when we suddenly heard Oobleck, but it was static like. "that's not good." I said, looking over to the side. "There, the tower should boost our signal." I said, with Em and Jessi nodding, with me knowing that they didn't like what had happened to Fal just hours ago. Walking forward, we saw red armor on the ground, weapons beside them. "They must of been here long before anything had happened here." I said, walking past them.
that's when we heard a squishing sound. Turning around, we saw Jessi with a spear in her chest from behind, shocking us as the red armored knights started standing up. We watched as they picked her up and tossed her aside, her lifeless body landing in the water. Em was pissed, he gave out a battle cry and charged them, where he broke the staff and stabbed it into the robots chest. He went off, killing each and every one of them that stood up.
Seeing as he had it, I made my way over to the water and used my aura to pull Jessi out of the water. Once she reached me, I grabbed her and laid her down on my lap, her eyes still open from shock. I closed them as this was going to be our last mission as a team. We were going to die out here, and we didn't know where we were to begin with. "No way to get in touch with Beacon, no way to contact home, and we were going to need to leave her behind. At least she has a body." Em said, walking over to us.
Standing up, I used my aura to pull some of the ground out, where Em picked her up and placed her in it, with me dropping the dirt on her. "May she rest." I said, narrowing my eyes as that was another member down.
"Come on, we have to get in touch with Beacon and report in." Em said, with me nodding and following him. We continued on, with me watching Em kick down a fence as we had to go this way. Walking over to the doors, I looked to the right as we saw the Radio tower in the other direction." Em, go take care of that, I got this." I said, seeing the army of Grimm approaching.
"Fine." He said, walking off, with me facing them. Seeing them charge, I cut them down, with them falling behind me. Seeing an alpha charge, I snapped its neck and watched it come to a stop in front of me before. They started backing up, but them all charged at once. I shoved my hands forward, with all of them flying off the cliff, killing them.
"Whatever you just did...Keep doing it!" I heard, with me looking at my scroll. "Somewhere else on the island. You must... and they... Understood?" I heard, with me knowing that there must be another one.
Seeing Em land next to me, we continued on, not wanting to deal with this shit anymore. I forced the doors open and saw another docked ship. Walking over to it, we saw more Grimm on board. Narrowing my eyes, I held my hands out and ripped the ship in half, with it sinking and most likely killing the Grimm in the cages. We ran over to the other side of the docs, seeing the radio tower.
Once we got there, I saw another one in the distance. "Most likely a three part jammer." I said, with him nodding as he went to take care of the second jammer.
"Team! Its working, the signal seems better but... A little more and I can pinpoint your location on the island... Nevertheless, keep it up!" Oobleck said, with me making my way over to the next Radio tower. Once we reached the gate, I saw three Boarbatusk's, with me holding my hand out and ripping the tusks off, then jamming them back into the heads, killing them.
Neither of us wanted to say anything, we were pissed at what had happened. We continued on and once we reached the last tower, I tossed Em up to the top, where he started messing with it while I headed on. "Ahh, that's better. Sorry, but the reception is always so bad all the way out here. I hope you're enjoying you're stay on the island. You're the first visitors I've had in, well, you are the first!" A new voice said, with me picking up my scroll and looking at it.
"You son of a bitch, I'm coming for you, and when I get my hands on you, you will BEG me for your pathetic excuse of a LIFE!?" I yelled, with Em jumping down and joining me. "You killed two of our team members, OUR FRIENDS!? I will make you wish you were never born!" I yelled, hanging up and continuing one.
"Manners! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dr. Merlot. You don't know me, but I most certainly know who you are, Dakota." He said, with me narrowing my eyes at him. "You didn't think that this was just random, did you?" He asked, with me clinching my fist. "No, your sister is paying me to draw you out, your friends are just collateral damage." He said, with me yelling, crushing a container that was near by. "Nevertheless, I'm thrilled you're here. You are exactly what I need for a very important... Experiment." He said, pissing me off even more. "For you, it should be an easy test, but your friend isn't needed." He said, pissing Em off.
Before he could speak up, someone else beat him to it. "So we meet again, Dr. Merlot." Ozpin said, with me closing my eyes to calm myself.
"Ozpin? Or shall I call you Oz like old times, chum?" Merlot said, a bit surprised but not that surprised.
"I thought you perished in the Mountain Glenn disaster, a tragedy you played no small past in." Ozpin said, reviling that Merlot was the cause of Mountain Glenn.
"It was a mere speed bump on a super highway of scientific progress. You couldn't possibly imagine the ramifications of my latest research." Merlot said, sounding pleased with his self.
"The world was a much safer place without you, or Revan." Ozpin said, with me knowing that was true. Revan, my sister, and my rival. She was close, and I was going to kill her when I got my hands on her.
"You're calling me the reckless one? Sending your students out on an excursion like this?" Merlot shot back, with me looking at Em as he sat down to catch his breath as we had been running for a long time.
Even with the remaining ones, They're more than a match for your mindless robots. "What you're doing here is wrong, Merlot." Ozpin said, with me sitting down as well as we listen to them arguing.
"Trying to make the world a better place is wrong? Say what you will about me. It wont change the fact that you're powerless to stop me." Merlot said, sounding smug.
"You'll botch this somehow. You always do." Ozpin said, with me looking at the sky, seeing that it was getting darker.
"Well, lets agree to disagree. I tell you Oz, it has been truly a pleasure catching up, but unfortunately its time for me to run. Fair well, old chum." Merlot said sarcastically, with him signing off.
"Team, we've been attempting to locate merlots island, but we've yet to obtain its coordinates. I need you to continue exploring the island and contact me when you find any evidence of his whereabouts." Ozpin said, with both Em and I standing up.
"Sir, its just two of us." I said, holding my scroll up. "Jessi recently passed away, and Fal passed away a few hours ago, this is almost a suicide mission at this rate." I said, with Em nodding.
"I understand your anger and frustration, but as of now, its the only way to find out where you are." Ozpin said, with me looking at Em and him doing the same. "This is something that only you two can do, I believe in you, we all do." He said, with us nodding and continuing on.
