Ruby's shaking knees hit the cold, hard ground.
Cold, like the grim reaper, a collector or souls, death itself. And the grim reaper just took her friend, Penny.
In a quick move, the machine was deactivated.
Pangs of incredible pain struck her heart, itching at her eyes, drawing tears.
Behind her, Mercury stood, laughing at her agony.
"Haha, your little fucking robot friend is dead as shit!"
He jeered at her, spraying his spit and her crouched figure.
"Penny Polendina sat on a wall…"
His eyes narrowed, a creepy smile growing. Ruby could feel herself getting angry
"Penny Polendina had a great fall…"
Her hands curled into fists
"All of James Ironwood's men, and all of his robots, couldn't put Penny together again."
As he finished his song, Ruby whirled around in rage, scythe at hand, ready to cut the fucker's head off, but her team got there first.
Yang rammed into him with speed, slamming him into the opposite wall.
The concrete cracked, and Mercury slumped to the floor with a black eye.
Blake kicked his head, knocking out a tooth and a wave of blood.
With Weiss's foot on his back, he fell to the floor, breathing heavily into a pool of his own blood, laughing softly.
"Haha…why so violent?"
Yang grabbed his grey hair and pulled his bleeding head up. She stared right into his evil eyes.
"You didn't think we wouldn't find you suspicious? We already guessed you where part of some evil ass plan."
He chuckled quietly "You can never guess what comes next."
Yang punched him hard in the face, breaking his jaw and knocking him out cold.
"Stay down this time, you little bitch. We got your back, Rubes."
For the AVGN, he observed the event known, later as The Battle Of Beacon, behind them without a word.
To him, this was all fuzzy. He had still no idea where he was, or what was going on.
To him, he had no stakes. Unlike team RWBY, this wasn't personal to him. Not yet anyway.
He silently heard Cinder's threat, his brain calculating the situation.
As the Grimm warning rung out into the mass of frightened students and teachers, he stayed put.
Weiss grabbed his arm, and pulled him around the face her.
"Now you look here. I don't know who you are, i don't care. But you should help us now, or we'll send you to Ozpin. Got it?"
"Who the fuck is Ozpin?"
"Help us-"
Her words where cut off by the ghastly screech of a Nevermore, pecking at the protective bubble that covered the stadium.
He scowled "Thats not good."
The team armed themselves with their weapons, each with their own personal feelings of shock and sadness. The fact that their happy and peaceful world suddenly was shattered and broken…felt…weird…
Feeling like an outsider, James watched RWBY join with other teams, many of which didn't notice him in the heat of battle.
Suddenly, he heard a hiss. He turned and saw the Guitar Guy, the Bullshit man, and Bugs Bunny gingerly poking out from a corner not too far away. With everyone distracted, James snuck off to meet them.
"How the hell did you get here?!" James questioned furiously
"You just disappeared, and i thought i'd just play the game. Then these guys came to watch…" Kyle defended.
"You know whats bullllllllllllllllshit?" The man with a head caked with shit commented
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeh what's up, doc?" Bugs Bunny asked.
The Nerd seized Bugs's head and thrust it into the wall next to him.
"Dick head. So what now?"
Kyle shrugged "I guess we just wait. Try to survive whatever the hell is going on now"
"Good idea" the AVGN considered
And so they ran around the school, searching for a safe place to hide.
Finally they seemed to find a suitable area : Beacon's now destroyed cafeteria
Crouching under a beat up wooden table, bodies squashed uncomfortably close, they peered out into the smoky night.
Out from it came a group of screaming teenagers, chased by some one with a white mask, red hair, and black clothing. Adam Taurus.
Adam heartlessly kicked them around in glee. James made a move to get up and out of the makeshift hideout, but a startled voice that he vaguely recognised as Blake's stopped him.
"No…Adam?"
The shuddering sound was overflowing with emotion. She sounded like she knew Adam. Like they had a long history. And by the sound of her voice, not one she liked.
Adam grinned at her like a pedophile. "Hello, my darling"
As she backed away, he taunted her "Running away again?"
James had no idea what they where talking about, but he was getting bored fast. This Adam guy looked like a fucking asshole.
The table flew up, as Bugs Bunny revealed himself
"Eh, i'm bored! This table fucking stinks!"
Adam's eyes snapped onto the giant man sized bunny. Drawing his long sword, he twirled it and threw it with deadly accuracy at him, impaling his throat.
Bunny blood sprayed around, showering James, Kyle and the Bullshit man, while Bugs gargled, desperately attempting to pull the blade out of his throat in vain.
While he died, the Bullshit man raced forward, wanting to cause this red haired man some pain.
"You know whats buuuuuuuuuuuuull shit? Your fucking face!"
His shit covered hands wrapped themselves around Adam's disgusted face while the surrounding viewers were frozen in amazement at what they were witnessing. Eventually, the Bullshit man was overcome, and his neck was broken. Blake broke out of her stupor and sped forward, only to be tackled to the ground. It seemed all hope was flushed down the shit hole, but the Nerd stood up.
"I've had enough of this fucking shit eating, cock sucking, dick thrusting anal rape of a day!"
Adam seemed slightly more apprehensive towards this filthy mouthed idiot, stabbing Blake in the gut, so as to focus all of his attention on him. He rounded his shoulders and raised his fist, thinking that he should at least give his more arrogant enemies a feeling that they could win against him.
But the Nerd grappled him, and without his sword, Adam's arms flailed uselessly as he was slammed into the ground, breaking the smooth tiles below.
"You fucking red haired son of a bitch!"
He buried his fist into Adam's crotch, it's owner giving forth a loud yell.
"Shit eating fuck head!" James roared as he flipped his opponent onto a wooden bench, which exploded into fragments of wood shards.
Adam attempted to get up, pieces of wood sticking from his back, but met a visit from the Nerd's shoe.
Blood flew into the air, and a hand caught Adam's collar and whammed his face into the floor.
"I'm fucking lost, tired and angry! So, FUCK OFF!"
A kick to the gut sent him skidding across the floor.
"I've had enough of this shit! I HATE this place! I'd rather suck a buffalo's balls! I'd rather lick a turtle's wang head while getting a mace flung into my ASS!"
Adam's head got repeatedly stomped by the Nerd's shoe, blood shooting everywhere, decorating the floor red.
Ruby, Weiss and Yang made their way onto the scene, gasping at one their best friends impaled.
While they desperately tried to pull the sword out of Blake's stomach, Adam spat blood and slowly stood up to face the Nerd, grimacing.
"Who are you?"
"Me? I'm the fucking Angry Video Game Nerd."
With that, he head butted Adam to the ground and jumped on him, his shoulder impacting Adam's chest.
Finally, Adam was down for the count, and the Nerd sighed. Kyle had appeared at his shoulder, figuring that this was a sign that the danger was over.
"Ya know Nerd, I think that this was one weird day."
"Not weird," James growled, " Fucking irritating. I'd rather give birth to Godzilla though my dick hole than relive today. I'd rather be stabbed by the Empire State Building. I'd rather…" He stuttered, as if pained to say what was on his mind.
"Yes?" Kyle egged on
"I'd rather finish RWBY Grimm Eclipse."
Out of the blue, sparks blew out from the ground, circling the 2, turning into smoke that surrounded them like a cocoon.
Team RWBY, now with Blake saved and definitely not impaled, watched them teleport into another world silently, not knowing what had happened or how it happened…
Years later, when team RWBY had grown old and settled down with families and grandchildren, they still could never guess what had happened that day. To them, it was an odd appearance that boggled their mind. With their memories fading away, it was hard to remember what the mysterious man looked like. But there was one phrase they could always remember from that day, etched into their old and wise minds, never to fade away…
"Angry Video Game Nerd"
