Chapter 5

Today was the day, after confronting Blake about her problems, Team RWBY is preparing for their mission off in the world. Today they would infiltrate the White Fang, keeping them one step ahead of the horrible group of meanies.

"I didn't think that class would ever end," Blake spoke as she tightens the ribbon around her wrist.

"I know," Ruby jumps from her hanging top bunk. "Does everyone remember the plan?"

"You and I will head to the CCT and check the Schnee records for any other Dust robberies or inconsistencies." She explained to the group. "Seeing as I'm in the family, it shouldn't be a problem."

"The White Fang has regular faction meetings to hand out orders and recruit new members." It was Blake's turn to explain her role. "If I can get in, I can hopefully find out what they're planning."

"I have an old friend on the shady side of town that typically knows everything going on in Vale," She give a pleased smile. "Getting information out of him shouldn't be too hard."

"Great!" The little two-tone haired leader cheered. "We'll meet up tonight near Yang to go over what we found. Let's do this!"

"Yeah!" A new voice cheered, the four teenage girls turned to see Sun Wukong hanging outside their window by his tail, the sight of the faunus caused the girls to jump back.

"Sun!?" Blake yelled the hanging blond boy with a hint of confusion in her voice.

"What are you doing out there?" Weiss asked.

"Better, How did you get up there?" Yang countered her question with another.

"It's easy," He played it off as no big deal. "I do it all the time."

"You do what!?" Weiss was outraged.

"I climb trees all the time." Weiss wanted to say something but she held her tongue for now as Sun jumped into their room. "So, are we finally getting back at that Torchwick guy?"

"We are going to investigate the situation," She explained slowly. "As a team."

"Sorry, Sun, We don't want to get friends involved if we don't have to." Ruby apologize to the faunus.

"Well, that's dumb," He laughed, "You should always get friends involved, that's why I brought Neptune." He jabs his thumb towards the window, the four girls leaned out the only window to their room stacked on top of each other to find said blue-haired teen standing near the window looking down. He noticed the girls looking at him and smiled.

"Sup?"

"How did you even get up here?" The leader of the team asked.

"I have my ways." He took one last peek down before turning back to the girls. "Seriously, though, can I come in? We're like, really high up right now."

After climbing through the window and being unable to get the two boys to back down from going, the girls made a few simple changes to the plan, now giving both Blake and Yang a partner, much to Weiss's dismay. The teams were off.


"Wow, I forget how big the tower is up close." The young said looking up at the Transmit Tower in awe, her big eyes widening even more.

"We were just here a few weeks ago," Weiss looked at her leader.

"I know, but It's just so awesome." An idea popped into her head. "Imma take a picture!"

Pulling her scrolls from her skirt pocket, she was a bit too fast for her own good, stumbling with the phone, dropping it. The tough little device skipped a few times before stopping in front of someone, who bent over picking it up.

"I think you drop thiiiiiiiii-" The person froze as Ruby got a good look at her. A redheaded girl in a green dress.

"Penny?!" Ruby rushed over to the redhead girl. "What happened to you!? After the fight, you just disappeared."

"I-i-i-i don't know who you are talking about." A small hiccup comes from her. "You must have me confused with someone else." Another hiccup. "I need to leave."

The redheaded girl quickly turned away from the girl making her way to a staircase.

"What was that about?" Weiss asked.

"I don't know, but I'm going to find out." Ruby took off after Penny.

"W-wait!" Weiss tried to stop her leader but it was far too late, she could only roll her eyes and complete their main mission as she turned to the CCT and made her way in. Ruby was able to catch up to the redhead.

"Penny, Wait! It's been weeks!" She slides down the railing to pass the girl. "Penny please, Those people we were fighting at the docks are really bad people, what happened to you that night, did they hurt you?"

Penny was still in a panic slightly pacing back and forth.

"Penny, please, I'm your friend, I want to help you." Ruby pleaded. Penny looked side to side slightly taking notice of the people nearby.

"It isn't safe to talk here." She whispered into Ruby's ear before pulling her away.


Weiss stood on the elevator working on her smile waiting to get to the top floor, going through about three or four of them before picking none of them. It just felt stupid and wrong. With a ding, the doors slide open allowing the white-haired girl to step off on to the communications room. The room was busy today, most likely all the students from other schools calling home to their families. Weiss made her way to the front desk where she was greeted but a woman.

"Hello and welcome to the CCT, how may I help you?" She asked with a small smile.

"Yes, I need to make a call to the Schnee Company World Headquarters in Atlas, Please." She requested.

"Yes, If you head to terminal three, and I'll patch you through."

"Thank you." Weiss made her way over towards the terminal. She got a small look around seeing a few people talking at their own terminals, it didn't take her long to find her seat before her monitor, she pressed the button and a woman appeared on the screen.

"Thank you for calling the At-" She cut herself off as she noticed who she was speaking too. "Oh! Miss Schnee, Good Afternoon. I could patch you through to your father is you like?"

"No, thank you." Weiss give a polite smile.

"Are you sure, I believe your sister, Winter, is also here."

"Yes, I'm sure." She answered one last time before moving on with her main goal. "Actually I was wondering if you could find some files for me. I've compiled a short list."

She placed her scroll into the terminal, the woman looked down and an eyebrow rose slightly.

"I see… Ma'am, there are some sensitive documents on this list." She looked back to Weiss. "May I ask what this is for?"

"It's for a school project." She said simply.

"Ma'am… I don't think I can give you any of this." The worker explained.

"Is any of it classified?" This got the woman's attention as her eyes widen slightly.

"I'm sorry?"

"Anything on the list, is it classified?" Weiss asked as she went over the list herself.

"Well… No, Ma'am."

"Then I see no reason why allowing me to use it for a school project would be a problem." Weiss give her a small smile. "Unless… There is a reason why you are trying to prevent me from getting a good grade?"

"Not at all, Ma'am!" She typed a few keys before Weiss's scroll lit up downloading the data. "Sorry about the minor inconvenience, Miss Schnee, Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"No, thank you, you've done more than enough."

"Well… then, have a wonderful day Ma'am." The lady gave the brightest smile that she could.

"You as well." Weiss hung up and her smile dropped, she felt horrible doing that to the woman, but they needed the data, and she shouldn't get in trouble for giving it to her. She hoped.


After catching up to Penny, Ruby was able to get the Redhead to talk to her just not near the CCT. She was told to meet up with her in front of a small cafe a few blocks away from the Tower. It didn't take long for the redhead to appear.

"Penny, what happens to you that night, you just disappeared." The young leader asked. "Did they kidnap you?!"

"No! Nothing bad happened to me..." She looked down slightly. "I've never been to another kingdom before, so I chose to wander off for a bit sometimes. My father wasn't too happy with me when he found out. My father isn't a bad person, he just worries."

"Trust me, I understand."

"I was also asked never to talk to you… Or Weiss… Or Yang, or Blake… Or anyone really." She gave a short sigh, "That also forced my team leader to keep a watchful eye on me."

"Geez, he was that mad at you?" Ruby asked.

"No, it wasn't my father-" The sound of a crowd's 'ooo' cut her off.

As they reached the corner of there was a large crowd displaying Atlas bots with two large cases behind them, as a hologram of General Ironwood spoke to the crowd.

"The AK-130 has been a standard security model of Remnant for several years, and they have done a fine job. Wouldn't you agree? Wouldn't you agree?" The hologram of Ironwood asks to the clapping audience as the drones bow in a slightly sluggish form.

"But, the kingdom of Atlas is a kingdom of innovation, and 'fine'... Well, that's just not good enough, is it? Presenting..." The doors to the cases roll up, and six new, bulkier, shinier automatons stand at attention before knocking their obsolete predecessors down to the applause of the watchers. "The Atlassian Knight-200!"

"Smarter, sleeker, and admittedly, a little less scary." Ironwood markets the robots as they flex and pose as a demonstration. Ruby was amazed by the sight, the weapon junkie in her was showing. Penny, on the other hand, was slowly backing away, but she noticed another redhead looking towards her, her eyes widen as she turned to run. Ruby snapped from her daze as she heard Penny take off followed by a voice yelling.

"Penny!"

Ruby was right after the girl and she could hear the footsteps of the person right behind her. She suddenly heard the horn of a car screaming and a voice yelling, "Sorry!" She tried to take a peek back but couldn't as she had to keep her eyes on Penny who turned down an alley.

"Penny, Stop!" Ruby heard the person behind her, it sounds like she was losing him. Good, as she was catching up to Penny. She noticed a stack of crates stacked on top of a random platform, with her quick thinking she whipped out her weapon in it's melee form and slashed the legs dropping the crates to block the path as she sped past them.

"Oh no, that looked expensive!" She heard his voice, he was still on their tail.

She didn't know who he was but if Penny was running from him he had to be bad news. She saw Penny was about to pass a small side alley in the alley, kicking in her semblance she jumped onto the wall running along it for a moment before dashing forward landing on a wall right next to Penny, "Hang on!" and with one strong push with her legs she scooped up Penny and flew down the alley. The wind blowing past her face made it hard to keep her eyes open, and Penny wasn't helping, why did she weigh some much.

"Can't. Keep. It. Ugh-!" She hit the ground just as they reached the end of the alley causing the two girls to skip across the ground Penny slowing to a stop before Ruby leaving her on the sidewalk as Ruby flew right into the middle of the street. Her body felt a bit sick after doing that, this had to be how Jeanne felt on an airship. The sound of a horn screaming at her forced her to turn as she trying to get back onto her feet, to see a truck rushing towards her. She let out a gasp, her arms shot up to protect her with the good that that would be. A force knocked her to the side out of the truck's path, she looked to see Penny now before the raging truck.

"Penny!" Said girl lifted her hands just as the truck slammed into her causing it to almost jack-knife off of her. She held onto the Track to stop it from flipping before gravity forced it back to the ground. "Wha…."

A crowd slowly started to build up from the sight, just the idea that a small girl like her was able to stop a massive track blow their minds. A lot of people didn't even know aura was a thing, but this even shocked Ruby as the only person she knows able to do this would be Yang, Maybe Jaune if he is able to go blow for blow with her. Penny bumping into her forced her from her own mind as she ran off after her. Reaching the end of the last alley of this long chase, Ruby found Penny pacing and mumbling to herself.

"Everything is fine." She hiccuped. "Everything is going to be fine."

"Penny, what is happening, how did you do that?!" She ran over to her friend.

"Everything is fine, I don't want to talk about it!" She backed away from the caped girl still in a panic.

"Penny, I want to help you, but I need you to tell me what's wrong," Ruby spoke with a softer voice, trying to defuse at least a small part of the problem.

"You wouldn't understand."

"We'll never know unless we try." Ruby took a step closer. "I'm your friend, you can trust me."

"Y-you're my friend." Ruby give her a soft nod before Penny slowly revealed her hands showing that flesh has been torn off but no blood, just a shiny interior. "Ruby… I-I'm not a real girl."

"… Oh." Ruby's eye widens by the sight. "I think I might need you to explain more."

"Most girls are born, but not me… I was made." She looked at her own hands. "I'm the world's first synthetic person capable of generating an aura."

The redhead's face saddens as she looked away. "I'm not a real person."

"Yes, you are." The sudden answer caused Penny to look at Ruby who was taking her hands and smiling at her "Just because you have nuts and bolts and not the squishy guts like me, doesn't mean you're not real. You're standing right in front of me."

"I… Um… You are taking extraordinarily well." Penny leaned slightly closer to Ruby to see if she was feeling well.

"That's because I'm your friend." She placed her hand over Penny's chest. "You're not like those things back there, you something they'll never have."

"Breast?"

"No!... A heart and a soul. Like you said, you have aura, only people with souls can do that." The two smiled at each other. "Trust me, I can feel it."

"Oooooohhhh, Ruby!" Penny wrapped the girl into a big bone-crushing hug, swinging the poor leader back and forth. "You're the best friend anyone could have."

"Crushing! Crushing!" She was quick to let go of Ruby who was rubbing her arm. "I can see why your father would want to protect such a delicate flower."

"Which is why you really shouldn't run away from your Team Leader." Ruby and Penny both turned to see the Redheaded teen as was leaning on a wall catching his breath.

"Oh, Shirou!"

The male redhead groaned as his hand reached up to his forehead. Ruby was able to get a better look at the teen. His redhair was short and spikey and was in a plain white t-shirt with blue sleeves and a pair of blue jeans.

"Why were you running from me?" He moved over to the robotic girl. "Also you know your father won't be happy about you giving out your secret all willy-nilly."

"… I know." Penny looked down.

"But I guess he can't be mad about something he doesn't know about." Shirou gave her a smile. "Right?"

Penny's eyes lit up at the smile. "Right!"

"So who's your friend?" He asked.

"Oh, This is Ruby Rose." Penny pulled Ruby slightly closer. "She is the first friend I made in Vale and is my new best friend ever, of all time."

Penny was suddenly next to Shirou. "Ruby, this is Shirou Emiya, My team leader and my boyfriend!"

"W-"

"I am the only boy that is also her friend." Shirou was quick to correct.

"Oh."

"It's nice to meet you, Ruby." Shirou held his hand for the shorter girl.

"Same." She took his hand and give it a shake. "Why were you chasing us?"

"Because someone wanted to run off and explore the city on her own again," She looked at Penny who gave an innocent hum. "I need to get her back to the rest of the team before I'm yelled at."

He reached over and took Penny by the hand. "I guess we also have to come up for a reason why this happened, I'll think of something."

"Sorry, Shirou," Penny said as he started to lead her away. "Goodbye, Ruby, Oh I cannot wait to see you again."

"Bye Penny!"


The Den was ready to open its door for the evening, the bar was clean, the dance floor was prime, DJ Kuma… Looking good. Things were looking up for Junior, The twins were back to their tip-top show, Roman hasn't bothered him for months, and he would never ever have to see that blond girl ever again.

"She back!"

Spoke just a little too soon.

Two of his men held the door but they suddenly exploded open and stepped in the Blond nightmare, well it's much better than the scary mute.

"Guess who's back!" The blond came in with a huge smile only to be met with about ten guns pointed right at her. "You remember me!"

"Stop, stop, everyone stop!" Junior ran over calling off his boys. "Blondie, You're back… Why?"

"You owe me a drink, Mr. Man." She walked past the armed guards heading towards the bar, leaving the blue-haired boy to his own devices.

Junior gave a heavy groan. "Everyone back to work."

After getting his boys to stand down, Junior met the terror sitting at the bar, who was looking down the menu.

"So, what do you want Blondie?"

"Oh, you know, a drink, a bit of info, the norm." She gave him a smug smile. "Where is Torchwick?"

"I don't know, and if I do you'd have to pay, ya' know?"

"What do you mean you don't know where he is!?" She slammed her fist onto the bar.

"It means I don't know." He slowed down each word. "I haven't seen Torchwick in months after he took my guys and they didn't come back."

"And you didn't look into it?"

"No point, I know where they are." He shrugged. "Just can't do anything about it right now."

"So you're telling me, a guy that knows everything about this city, doesn't know something doesn't know something about this city?"

"Yup."

"Bull, you're hiding something, you better tell me Or-"

"Or, what are you going to do trash my club again?" He crossed his arms. "Cause this time I'm just going to call the cops this time."

The two glared at each other for a moment, trying to pressure the other to back down.

"Fine, let's go." Yang stood from the bar, her eyes still locked with Juniors, "But if I find out your lying."

"You'll what? Get arrested?" Yang let out a growl.

"Hey, buddy you got a problem?" The small commotion got the attention of the two breaking their deadlocked glares to see the sight of Neptune being held up by his shirt by come blond haired chick.

"Nope! No problem at all, I was just saying how lovely you and your sister look." He tried to defuse the problem.

"Don't try that flirting non-scene with me!" The blond yelled.

"Sister, you really need to calm down." Her sister spoke up.

"And you need to put my friend down, Now," Yang added to the blond party.

"Oh, looking for a brawl, Blondie?" Now that Yang could get a closer look, she could see that the two blonds we're twins. The angry one was in a pair of super short shorts, a white tube top and a red leather jacket to top it off. Her hair was a wild pony, green eyes glaring at her. Not with hate but joy ready for a rumble.

"Oh, my god you're beautiful!" The other one appeared into Yang's view. Being twins the two looked perfectly the same beside the hair and outfit. Her hair was up nicely in a bun with a red ribbon tied in it, her outfit was at least better than her sisters. A red mini dress with slight black trims. "Just look at you, perfect purple eyes, or more of a lilac. Mmm, your body type is just divine, A nice ample chest, and golden long locks."

"Uhh..."

"How foolish of me, I never asked your name, But it's only right if I give mine's first." She took a big leap back with a spin, she stopped with one leg in front of the other. "My name is Nero Pendragon, and I'll be your date for this evening."

Everyone stared at the girl for a very uncomfortably long moment. Yang's face was bright red from everything that just happened.

"Teach me, oh Wise One." Neptune was on his knees before the Bun twin.

"Ha, Ha, Ha. Of course, I will, anyone willing to learn the ways to Woo a Woman is welcomed to learn under my wing."

"Oh my god, if you use another W word I will slap."

With another spin, Nero stood beside her sister. "Let me not forget you Sister, This is Mordred Pendragon, my younger and rowdier sister. You may call her Mo."

"If you do, I will hit you… hard."

"Don't be that way Mo."

"Shut up!" Mordred yelled as she grabbed Nero by her collar pulling her away towards the bar. "You're starting to piss me off."

"Neptune we're leaving." Yang already had Neptune by the back of his jacket pulling him towards the door. He was reaching out for Nero, as Nero was reaching out for Yang.

"Noo, I have so much to learn from her!/Nooo, She's my date!"


"This is the place." Sun looked at the warehouse Blake led him too, it seemed like a place an organized group of bad faunus would hang out. He noticed a guard standing out at the front door, he was dress in normal everyday clothes but he wore a mask to cover his eyes. The pair moved into a line of new recruits as Blake handed him a mask.

"I don't get it." He spoke as he placed the mask over his eyes. "If they think they are doing the right thing, why did they hide who they are?"

"It's a symbol." She started to explain as she looked down at her mask for a moment before placing it on. "Humanity wanted to make monsters out of us, So we donned the face of real monsters."

"That's stupid." Sun blurted out. "That's like someone calling me dirty so I go run around in the trash, it's not really helping anyone either."

He found Blake looking at him, so his hands shot up in defense. "Sorry."

"No." She said, he assumed she was glaring like normal. She wasn't. "I agree with you… It's why I never wore mine. It's why I hate wearing this one."

The group of newcomers was all grouped up in the middle of the warehouse as they were led in, members of the White Fang soldiers stood on the sideline. Most likely for protection and also to show off how cool it could be, Sun had to guess.

"Thank you all for coming!" A gruff deep voice spoke over a mic, his voice forced everyone to quiet down. "For those of us that are newcomers, allow me to introduce a very helpful comrade of ours! And I can assure you, he is a strong key to helping obtain what we have all fought for, for far too long."

"Thank you, thank you!" Roman Torchwick wanted onto the stage followed by a short girl in an outfit just like his but more ladylike, and very out there hair made of three colors. But also behind him was a woman dressed in a green and black dress, green being the theme color. She also had long black thigh high boot. Her hair was long and blond, with green dyed at her bang. Resting on top of her head with a pair of cat ears and also a cat tail sticking out from behind her.

"I've never seen a Faunus with two traits." Suddenly he felt Blake grab his arm with a small yank.

"We need to leave." She whispered into his ear, her eyes were locked onto the blond and green. He could hear Roman talking in the background and the crowd getting rowdy.

"Woah, what's wrong you know her?"

"Yes, very well. She will easily spot me out in this crowd if she looks even remotely my way." She was doing her best to hide her face and back away but the crowd started to push the pair forward. Looking forward, he saw that Torchwick just unveiled an Atlas Mech. "Oh no."

"How did they get their hands on something like that?" Sun asked.

"I don't know, but they found a way and everyone could be in big trouble if that thing is let loose." Blake looked back towards the stage and froze, she couldn't see the eyes but she knew that a pair of green eyes glaring at her. She couldn't hear her but she knew she was growling. "We need to go. Now."

The green-themed girl bumped Torchwick's arm gaining his attention, She pointed right at Blake. His glare she could see.

"What's the plan?" Sun waved nervously.

Blake looked around for a moment before pulling out her sword gun. "Not all Faunus can see in the dark." She fired two shots into the junction box, causing the lights to flicker before shutting off as the crowd panicked from her firing off shots into it.

"Sun the Window!"

"Stop them!" A female voice yelled out. "And take the girl!"

"If you don't want to die, you better move."

A screeching noise filled the warehouse, followed by the sound of gunfire. Suddenly the hunters in training crashed through a window near the top of the building, landing on the ground below just took run away as fast as they could. And for good reason as I giant mech broke through the building giving chase.

The undercover pair jumped to the rooftops to keep away from the Mech, the giant metal beast was knocking cars from its path and tearing down street lights just by moving forward.

"We got any-" He leaped from one building to another. "You know like- Back Up?!"

"Working on it!" Blake was trying to make a group call on her scroll, but running, jumping and pressing buttons was not the easiest thing to do when you did them all together. But she was able to pull it off. "Everyone, if yo-"

"Heeeeelp!" Sun yelled cutting her off. "Giant robot! We're being chased by a giant robot!"

"Oh, I'm not missing this." They heard Ruby's voice.

"That Torchwick is in it!" Sun looked back at the Mech. "But it didn't like eat him or anything! He controlling it!"

"Where are you guys?" They heard Yang ask as leaped from another roof.

"Heeelp!"

"Well, that was easy."

"Hang on!"


"Why is he still chasing us!?" Sun looked back to see Roman plowing cars from his path, as the pair stood atop of speeding cars. During the chase the two found themselves on the highway hoping he would stop, he didn't.

"Come on!" Blake yelled as she kept pressing forward, leaping from one car to another, Sun following right behind.

Yang and Neptune chasing Torchwick on her bike, dodging and weaving between the cars. "We gotta slow it down!"

"Got it!" Neptune whipped out his rifle taking aim at the Weaponize Giant. But it looked like the Torchwick noticed too. The arms of the Mech started to swing wildly throwing nearby cars into the air, horns blazing as Yang's eyes widen. "Hold On!" She ordered as she turned her bike quickly to dodge the falling cars, as Neptune tired to hold on the best he could. Once they reached the point where the raining cars stopped Neptune readied himself.

"I got an idea." Spinning his rifle allowing it to transforms into its Guandao mode, before taking a deep breath and reassuring himself. "Okay, you can do this. You're the man, I'm the man."

Once Yang was close enough Neptune took a giant lead towards the Mech stabbing it in it's back. His hands held tight to his weapons but his feet couldn't cling so well as he swung around like a flag in the wind. Ahead of them, Sun watched his best friend swing around.

"Neptune I'm coming!" Sun slammed his palms together glowing a golden aura summoning two aura clone before him, both leaped from the truck crashing into the giant robot breaking into a blinding light followed by Sun leaping to attack. With a strong shift, Neptune was thrown from the metal beast back right into his leader sending them both off the overpass.

"Sun!" Blake called out. "Blake, I'm in position."

Far ahead of the group stood Weiss on the yellow lines of the road, car's flying past her as she stared down the stolen Atlas tech. She didn't know how they got their hands on it but she knew they had to stop it. She waited for the last car to past her and with a turn, she plunged her sword into the street freezing the ground over just as the Mech was about to past. The beast completely lost it's footing forcing down it fall and slide off the overpass, falling down the ground slightly empty ground belong. Only slightly because Ruby was waiting at the bottom for it.


Team RWBY formed together as the Mech got back to its feet.

"Freezeburn!" Ruby quickly ordered before Torchwick could make the first move. Both her and Blake jumped back as Yang leaped high into the air and Weiss did her spin before stabbing her blade into the ground freezing it over once again just for Yang to slam into it causing a large smoke screen. The large mecha moved slowly in the mist, it's Laser Tracking Systems activated as the girls moved around in the fog. The Mecha fired twice, trying to hit the hidden girls, but the red themed leader made it simple as she rushed the mech cutting at one of its LTS. "Checkmate!"

Blake and Weiss appeared from the mist attacking the legs of the Mech with their blades forcing it to back away to not allow them to cut anything important. Weiss took this opening to stab the front LTS before back away into the mist with Blake. Suddenly rocket pod opened on its shoulder sending the hailstorm of rockets, the pair was quick to dodge each one staying just out of the blast zone, until a blue blast knocked Weiss away from Blake.

Even after the blow, Weiss was still able to see the rocket pods opened again, she places a glyph under Blake just as she hit the ground with a thud. "Ugh! Blake!"

"On it!" Blake felt the world around her slowing down as the Mecha sent another volley of rockets towards them. With great speed and a bit of dust, she slashed at the air firing a purple dust slash, slice one rocket in two. Followed by another and another until she was combing sending dust slashes destroying all the rockets. Just for Ruby to speed past her.

"Ladybug!" She slid under the Mech to be on its backside, the pair sped past it crossing paths slicing at its legs, before going back and forth over and over, forcing it to look down and Fire. The pair jumped, dodging it. The Mecha turned to find them only for a gun to be stabbed into its arm with a ribbon tied to it, with a strong tug, Ruby and Blake flew slicing its arm clean off as they pasted it. Staggered the Roman didn't have time to notice that Yang running up behind him and Jumping onto the back of the Mech unloading into it. The Mecha jumped back as Yang was beating on it, slamming her through two columns holding up the highway, embedding her into a third one. The Mech turned facing towards Yang transforming his last arm from gun mode to fist mode, slamming it down onto her and through the column.


"Yang/Sis!"

She could hear their voices but her ears were ringing. She had to get up, no time for waiting. Her body hurt, a lot, but it didn't matter. Not right now anyway, She was too pissed to care. The ringing slowly stopped, good. Her hands shot up catching the giant metal fist completely stopping it in its tracks.

She would show this guy not to mess with her. She let out a growl as she looked up at the Mecha, the growl quickly turning into her warcry as she cocked her fist back and slamming it into its fist firing her shotgun into it blowing it whole arm off into scrap. Suddenly the Mecha's foot shot forward smashing into her sending her flying towards her Team.

"Bumblebee!"

She heard Ruby call out, she knew what that meant. Looking around she found Blake's gun flying near her, reaching out and grabbing it, she felt herself come to a snag. Twisting her body to land on her feet she took off in an arc heading back to the Mech. She was going to punch Torchwick right dead in his mouth. Firing off a shot to pick up speed she swung at the Mecha missing just a little.

"Iceflower."

She kept moving, she knew this plan. She had to go faster, she had to hit harder. Unloading with each skip she saw the Mech coming into view, frozen it place thanks to Ruby and Weiss. She cocked her arm all the way back, the drag of the wind wouldn't stop her nothing was going to stop her. She yelled as her fist slammed right into the cockpit, the blow knocking the Mecha into pieces, breaking it like a toy. Even though she was flying past, she noticed Torchwick rolled back to his feet and dusting himself off.

"I just got this cleaned… Hm?" He looked up at them as Yang joined her team, his words just pissed her off more. She fired a round at him, hitting… a pink parasol. Some short girl wearing an outfit close to his blocked the shot. Her pink and brown hair stood out the most, besides her smug smile. "Ladies, Ice Queen," Weiss didn't take kindly to that. "It's always a pleasure. Neo if you would."

The little shrimp gave a bow. Yang let out a small growl just before… a black mist shot past them with an unholy roar, it threw a spear at the villain pair, shattering them into pieces. Her eyes widen but her attention turned to an airship leaving with Torchwick on it.

Another roar filled the air just before the sound of an explosion. Yang saw everyone was looking at the person, they all knew who it was, but why was he here.

"Jaune?"


"Jaune?"

Jaune looked over to Jeanne who was looking at him. "Yeah?"

"So you weren't paying attention." She rolled her eyes. "The dance, are you coming?"

"I'm pretty sure I'm working it, so I guess."

"You got a date?" She asked.

"Do you?" The pair laughed. "I'm pretty sure it's completely illegal for a teacher to date a student."

"One, you're not a teacher."

"Helper."

"Two, you're younger than me, I'm pretty sure you're allowed to have a girlfriend. And the cops can't say anything about it."

"Yeah, yeah." He smiled. "Do you have a date?"

"No, but I got training to do before this topic turns on me." She ran away with a light jog. "Bye, Jaune!"

"Coward!" He shook his head and turn to finish his patrol of not really doing anything and getting paid. He wouldn't lie, taking Ozpin's money and not having to really work most of the time was great. Keeping the forest clear was pretty much just training, stopping the fights was… a pain but the fear of Goodwitch punishing them was really all he had to say to get them to stop. And helping in class wasn't too hard, he pretty much just did the heavy lifting and aiding them when they needed it. And lastly, his patrols were just going for a walk. It was nice.

He also had to look after the Problem Team, aka team RWBY, but they didn't do anything really. Ruby was just a ball of fun with a tough little cookie hidden within. Weiss was… fine, a little mean at times but fine. Blake was quiet. And Yang, well she seemed like a problem child, she's almost been in about ten fight since Jaune started to work there, but she was never really the start of them… fully anyway. She also didn't hurt anyone yet, just gave them a good scare. Speaking of RWBY he was pasting their dorms. He looked up to see a Faunus hanging out near their window from a nearby tree and a blue-haired kid moving closer to their window by climbing up.

"Jeepers Creepers I think I see some Peepers." He made his way to the inside of the dorm before Yang killed somebody.

Jaune soon found himself outside of Team RWBY's door ready to knock on it. But a voice stopped him. "Neptune, you can go with Yang since she doesn't have a partner. Everyone got the plan?"

He sighed. Guess he was going to do some tracking.


Jaune stood atop a building after following Blake, she was the last member of RWBY he followed. First was Weiss and Ruby, Weiss went into the CCT, so no real trouble to get into there. Ruby, on the other hand, met up with a friend of hers who she seemed surprised to see, it felt wrong to eavesdrop on that so he didn't. Next up was Yang, she was the likely troublemaker, and like a troublemaker, she went into a club. The door guards seemed to know who she was as she had a very unwelcoming welcome with the door being slammed into her face and then kicking open. But everything seemed to calm down quickly, so he left her alone. So that left Blake, Jaune didn't know what type of trouble the book reader of the team would get into but it looked like a rave. A Faunus only rave it appeared to be because he hasn't seen one human insight, and the mask kind of made them look like Grimm, weird, but he could see how that could be trending. There are Grimm plushies and stuff.

He's done the same thing as the other girls he would give them ten minutes and if they didn't do anything wrong he would leave them to their own devices.

He heard two popping noises from the inside and the lights turned off, guess the party was getting started. Suddenly Blake and Sun jumped from a window and took off running down the street. Weird Party. A Giant Mecha then crashed from the building chasing after them. Wrong party!

He pulled the folded spears on his back transforming it into its turn form. He was about to take off after the mech but something came into view in the corner of his eyes. A Faunus taking off after the group, she was also wearing a Grimm mask with a bow on her back. Jaune was quick to follow.

Jaune was able to catch up to the blonde Faunus, she was stood a top with her bow drawn back fully and arrow at the ready.

"Blake, I don't know why you betrayed us, but I'm going to bring you back." She fired the arrow only for it Jaune to slash it with his spear.

"Sorry, Lady, but I can't let you do that." He leaped up during her monologue to make it just in time, he also assumed it looked cool. It normally did in movies.

"Why are you interfering, Human?" She asked. "This has nothing to do with you."

"It kind of does," He readied himself. "So is there a chance that you'll just give yourself up?"

She armed another arrow aimed it at him.

"Guess not…"

The two glared at each other, waiting for the other to make their move. Jaune noticed her eyes widen slightly, as she looked over his shoulder.

"What… are they doing?" She asked.

"Like I'd fall for that."

Her eyes widen more as before she took off sliding past Jaune's guard, He turned ready to attack only for his eyes to widen by the sight of the Mecha jumping onto the Highway.

"What are they doing!?" She yelled once more in horror as she reached the edge, suddenly a gust of wind blown past her as Jaune leaped from rooftop to rooftop, trying to catch up to the Metal terror. He jumped from rooftops landing onto the highway, traffic has come to a complete stop going both ways, cars were knocked all around but no one appeared to be badly hurt. Jaune let out a small breath he was holding and took off down the street, he looked at all of the carnage that the mecha caused. He gritted his teeth as he felt himself moving faster, he could see Yang far ahead of him on her bright yellow motorcycle. He had to move faster to catch up to them, he had to get more pissed. Wrong thing to wish for… as The Mecha started to throw cars into the air to try and crush Yang. Cars filled with innocent people were now raining down, The world went red.

"Jaune?" He snapped back, he was staring down team RWBY. He felt his heart races, his blood boiling. His memories all flowing back to him at once, all of what happened all that he saw. His fist tightened, his teeth pressing against each other grinding. He let out a loud scream as a giant burst of black mist exploded of his body.

"Jaune!" He heard Ruby yell.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?"


"Tonight a terrible incident accrued, leaving over two dozen hurt, four in critical condition and about seven dead. Reports say that a Giant Mechanized Robot went on a rampage Hallway 94, leaving carnage in its wake. Witnesses at the scene as a local Huntsman was giving chase to catch up with the Robot but stopped to try and save as many lives as he could before loc-"

The T.V was turned off. Ozpin let out a long sigh as he lowered his head.


Hey, it's me, sorry this took forever to come out, but I ended up looking at the whole thing of Fate once again. You know UBW, Extra, Apoc. I also been looking at RWBY again. And I work. But I got this one out and the next one should come out sooner.

Also, where do you 600 followers come from? That's a lot of people. I'm glad you all are enjoying it so I'm going to keep doing my best.
