Team RWBY

Summary:

Remnant sent their champion to protect them against the Grimm, a deadly race about to destroy Remnant. The champion would wear a battle suit, allowing them to defeat any enemies they would face. However, not everything goes to plan when four girls find the battle suit first and they each take a piece of the suit. Can a blonde bimbo with anger issues, an antisocial bookworm, a new traffic cop from Atlas and an hyperactive optimist save Remnant?

Chapter 1: It's a bird? It's a plane? No, it's a fucking UFO!

Notes:

Hello everyone and welcome to my RWBY x Lazer Team crossover. I don't have anything more to say so, enjoy!

Chapter Text

Pyrrha Nikos was called many things, a daughter, Jaune's girlfriend, the example of a good student, but what she preferred above all was being called a champion, Remnant's champion to be precise. From a young age she had been trained by James Ironwood himself, Atlas' headmaster as well as its General, educated by Bartholomew Oobleck, the best archaeologist and historian in all of Remnant and trained on how to handle weapons by the famous hunter Peter Port and if she has been trained by all these important people, it is for a simple reason. Remnant had been able to decode a transmission sent by an alien race which called itself the Faunus. The transmission stated that an incoming doom would befall on Remnant in the form of another alien race known as the Grimm. The Faunus however, told them that they would get a chance to fight back thanks to a battle suit that they would send them. The battle suit would consist of an energy shield to protect against anything, an energy cannon to shoot at your enemies, boots which would let their wearer run at superhuman speed, and an helmet that would enhance its user's mental capacity as well as allow them to use many features such as an X-ray vision for example. After training intensively for all of her life, Pyrrha was ready to don the battle suit when it would arrive tonight. However, this was not her story.

 

 

"Remind me why I need to push you everywhere again?" Asked a blonde beauty to a dark-haired girl with a bow on her head and a cast on her leg.

"Because, you got into too much trouble with the school football team, again, and the headmaster gave you one last chance. Either you control your temper by staying with me and helping me because of my cast, or you drop out of Beacon. It's your choice really." 

"Oh come on, we were only joking around!" The blonde exclaimed while pushing the other girl who was reading her book on her wheelchair.

"You got into a fight with them and managed to break one guy's arm, three legs, and you sent someone to the ER."

"It was a brawl! What did they expect me to do!? Not fight!?"

"It was the coach Yang, he was trying to protect the team members from you." The girl said while lowering her book and tilting her head backwards to glare at the fighter.

"...I'm not apologizing."

"You know, it doesn't surprise me anymore. Just push me for another two weeks or so and then we won't ever get to talk to each other again." Blake said while going back to her book.

"What? You don't want to spend more time with little old me?" Teased Yang.

"Well since it's because of you that I have this cast, not really no."

"Really?" Asked Yang with confusion written all over her face.

"What do you mean really?" Blake asked back after lowering her book once again.

"I don't remember doing something that would cause you to wear a cast."

"...You're joking right?"

"I'm afraid that no."

"I was one of those who got their leg broken you moron!"

"Just tell me how I did it you drama queen."

"Ugh, fine. Here's what happened."

The incident happened three days ago, as Blake was going to her next class while reading one of her mysterious and yet captivating book-

"Are you really narrating right now?"

"Shut up, don't interrupt me." Yang rolled her eyes and kept on pushing the wheelchair while listening to Blake's fantastic narration.

She was reading one of her captivating book but she was however interrupted mid-reading when something, or rather someone collided with her. His name was Sun Wukong, one of the school's quarterback, muscled and smart while being surprisingly caring of others. The reason for which said individual impacted with her could have been many things, destiny, a joke from the Gods, but a simpler answer would be that Yang Xiao Long decided to be a cunt and challenged the entire football team into fighting her in one of the classrooms, a place where people learn for fuck's sake!

"Really inspiring, I especially liked the part where this Yang Xiao Long chick managed to beat them all without even sweating."

"Fuck you Yang, do you know how difficult it is to take showers because of the cast? It's hard as fuck."

"Bow-chicka-bow-wow. But come on, it was just an accident."

"I will cut your hair."

"What did you say!?"

"Just fucking bring me to the park and shut up. I hate you."

"The feeling's mutual, nerd."

 

Meanwhile, a white-haired girl was wearing her uniform and watching over the school's students in case something happened. This was not her job since she was sent from Atlas to Vale in order to apply the law where it was needed to be applied. Unfortunately, she was tasked with surveying traffic, her, Weiss Schnee, daughter of the (in)famous politician Jacques Schnee and gambling mother Willow Schnee as well as sister of commanding officer Winter Schnee in the army of Atlas. So it was unreasonable for her to be tasked with such a simple job. She was a cop, not a traffic sign damn it! So instead of surveying said traffic, she preferred watching the students leaving Beacon, not that it was any better but at least she did not have to do anything. She must have been staring at a trash can for five minutes when she caught something in the corner of her eye, a girl, staring at her. Weiss stared back at the girl who was staring at her while scribbling something in one of her sketchbook. She stared at her a little more before looking at the book, then back at her, then back at the book. She must have done this seven times before Weiss got fed up and walked to the girl who kept on scribbling in her book.

"Excuse me-"

"Don't move."

"...Wh-what!?"

"I said don't move."

"Can you please explain to me why you were staring at me like that?"

"I needed inspiration." Weiss blinked before trying to peek at the sketchbook. The girl however moved the sketchbook so that she would be unable to see the drawing.

"What are you drawing?"

"You'll see when I'm finished."

"It's me right?"

"Duh! Anyone with a brain would have guessed it." Weiss temple began pulsing but she was able to stay calm, those were just simple mockery.

"Will you let me see the drawing when you're done?"

"I literally told you that I would like two seconds ago. Are you deaf or something?"

"Now listen here you little insolent-"

"Can't, I need to concentrate." Weiss was fuming, how dare this little girl just ignore her like that!?

"Do you not know who I am?"

"Don't care, but feel free to tell."

"I am Weiss Schnee, daughter of Jacques Schnee, one of the most influential family in all of Remnant and I will not let you mock me any longer."

"Never heard of him, what's his name again?"

"You little!... stay calm Weiss, that's just a stupid student trying to get under your skin, you've faced worst in your life and you'll face even far worst in your future. Just don't listen to-"

"I'm done. Here." Weiss would be a liar if she said that she didn't jump on the sketchbook as soon as the girl handed it to her. On the paper she could see herself drawn majestically well, no, she was gorgeous. This was the most beautiful drawing Weiss had ever seen and yet the girl must have done it in under twenty minutes. Weiss was confused, how can a girl act so mean to her but draw her as if she was a character out of a fairy tale? And then Weiss noticed writing underneath the drawing, she began reading it.

She was as pretty as she was bitchy, people called her Weiss Schnee, and yet all I was able to see, was the bird shit on top of her kepi. By, Ruby Rose.

One of Weiss' hands let go of the sketchbook and grabbed the hat on top of her head and she was surprised to notice that a bird had indeed shitted on her. She looked back at the girl called Ruby and noticed that she was wearing a shit-eating grin, the little bitch.

"Where are your parents little girl?" The grin on Ruby's face fell and the girl started to frown while raising her hand to get her sketchbook back.

"Give it back."

"I think that I asked you a question."

"And I won't answer it, now give me back my sketchbook. I need it."

"What you need is to cooperate, answer the question." Ruby stared at Weiss' face but Weiss was not afraid to look back while sending a chill down Ruby's spine who eventually looked down and mumbled.

"Please, give me my book back..." Weiss smiled in victory.

"Can you repeat that please, you said that I was deaf remember?"

"You heard me already, don't mess with me."

"Because you didn't?"

"I was joking with you!"

"Calling people bitchy is joking to you!?"

"I also said that you were pretty!"

"You still called me a bitch!"

"Oh yeah!? Well I guess I was right then!" Weiss has had enough of the little pest.

"That's it, you're following me to the police station where your parents will see you." Ruby was taken aback by Weiss' action.

"You can't do that! I have rights!"

"Yeah, the right to shut up and get in the damn car."

"My dad will kill me!"

"You should have thought about that before insulting an officer during their service." Weiss took the girl's hands and brought them together before handcuffing her and bringing her in the backseat of the car. She began driving while checking the rear-view mirror every once in a while. Ruby was staring through the window with a mix of sadness and anger on her face, something that saddened Weiss too but she still had to do her job. Plus it was not her fault, she was the one who started it. They drove next to the park when they noticed fireworks coming from the park. Ruby just admired the fireworks with a smile on her face while Weiss just rolled her eyes, she just wanted to go back to her crappy apartment but nooo, her day just had to worsen somehow. She drove through the park's entry until she was next to the origins of the fireworks and she stopped the car.

"I'll check what this is about, don't move and don't do something stupid." Ruby gave her a deadpan stare before bringing her handcuffed hands under Weiss' nose. Weiss rolled her eyes and exited the car. She walked for two seconds when she heard the sound of a car honking. Her car to be more precise. Weiss tightened her fist before walking back to the car and taking the hyperactive girl with her.

"Two seconds, I leave you for two seconds and you manage to do exactly what I told you not to do."

"Not my fault, someone put a horn in my way."

"Just shut up." The two eventually arrived at the site of the fireworks and while Weiss facepalmed, Ruby had a huge smile on her face.

"YAAAAANG!" In front of them stood two girls, well one of them was up while the other was crouched next to what looked like a fire-camp.

"RUBYYYYY!" The blonde one who was up ran at her sister who was also running towards her sister before she remembered that she would not be able to hug her because of the handcuffs and got as a consequence tackled to the ground.

"Yang! My back! I think I'm dying!"

"Oh shut up, how are you? And why do you have handcuffs on your back? Are you and Penny still doing those kinds of activities?" Yang suggested while wiggling her eyebrow up and down.

"Yaaang! You know that we're not together anymore."

"Uhm, excuse me, do you two know each other?" Asked Weiss while advancing next to Ruby and taking the handcuffs out of her hands.

"Of course I know her, she's my sister. But I can't say the same for you, who are you and why did you handcuff my sister?" Yang said while crossing her arms in defiance.

"I am officer Weiss Schnee from Atlas and your sister here insulted me during my service. Now, I should be arresting her and bringing her to the nearest police station, but, seeing as you're already here, I will allow her to go freely, if, you give me those fireworks." Blake heard that and turned to Weiss.

"What gives you this right if I may? It's not like what we're doing is illegal."

"Do you have a licence? If you don't this could be considered as endangering for civilians and I'll have to arrest you."

"Of course I have a licence, it's just behind you on the ground." Weiss turned around and checked the ground but saw nothing making her confused. Meanwhile Blake made hand signs to Yang to tell her to knock-out Weiss but Yang did not understand her.

"You want me to seduce her?" Blake facepalmed and Weiss turned back to face her.

"There's no licence on the ground." If Blake rolled her eyes any higher they would have fallen out of their sockets.

"Of course there's no licence on the ground I was being sarcastic you idiot!"

"What's sarcastic? Can I eat that?" Chimed in Ruby while tilting her head.

"Don't be dumb, that's sardines." Yang said while slapping the back of Ruby's head.

"Alright, that's it, everyone gets in the car. You're all under arrest."

"Fuck you cop, I'm not going anywhere." Yang cracked her knuckles while glaring at Weiss who only scoffed back.

"Yeah I'm not moving either, literally." Blake pointed at her cast which was hidden behind the remaining fireworks.

"Miss Yang, could you please not make a scene and carry Miss..."

"Dover, Ben."

"Miss Ben Dover... Is that really your name?"

"No it's Blake, I was just fucking with you."

"Just please carry her so I can end my shift."

"Fuck you, I'm not doing that." Yang said while wearing a smug grin on her face.

"Just for the record, I want you all to know, I hate all of you." Weiss said as she approached Blake.

"Don't take another step." Blake warned Weiss.

"Or what?" Blake took one of the firework in one hand and aimed it at Weiss while she took a lighter in her other hand and brought it next to the firework's wick.

"Or else I light up this Torchwick and you can say goodbye to your pretty face."

"Why is everyone calling me pretty but then act mean towards me? No seriously that's the second time today."

"Well you have a pretty face, too bad you're acting like a bitch." Yang reasoned.

"That's what I said!" Shouted Ruby.

"Shut up, and you, lower your, potential weapon."

"Come and get it, cop." As soon as Weiss took a step forward, Blake light up the wick and the firework burst out as if alive and nearly touched Weiss right in the face. Thankfully the firework passed right next to her and flew into the air which made Blake gulp.

"You know, you're right, maybe we should follow you into the car."

"Exactly, get up and go to the-" Suddenly the firework hit something in the air and they could see an unidentified flying object heading toward the car before it landed on it, destroying the car's roof in the process. "-car..."

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?" Ruby yelled while running toward the site of the crash.

"Ruby! Wait for me!" Yang said while running after her sister.

"You, can you walk on your other foot?"

"Does it look like I have two casts?" Weiss bit back a remark and held the handicapped girl by bringing her arm over her shoulder. "Whoa, you're not going to buy me dinner first?"

"I swear to God, if you make another remark I will shove the rest of these fireworks up your ass and light them. Understood?" Blake nodded in fear and the two walked behind the two sisters who were looking at the crashed UFO. "Everybody stay back, I'll check what this is abo-" Ruby slid next to the UFO and taped on what looked like the cockpit.

"Is someone in there!?"

"I will kill this girl one day, I swear. COME BACK HERE YOU DOLT!" However the cockpit opened and inside was, no one. Weiss let go of Blake and brought her to Yang before sliding next to Ruby and examining the interior of the UFO.

"There's nothing in it."

"Yeah I can see that Einstein, the question is why would there be an UFO with nothing in it flying around Remnant."

"Maybe they escaped before we got here." Said Yang next to Weiss who did not notice her and Blake.

"Ugh, I'm getting a headache. I'm just gonna call the station so they can take care of-" Suddenly an hologram appeared in front of them and it appeared to be the hologram of a Human. However, that Human had what appeared to be horns on his head, bull horns to be more precise. "-it. Why am I always the one getting interrupted? That's unfair."

"Greetings champion, my name is Adam Taurus, and I am as you know it the leader of the Faunus."

"What's a Faunus?" Asked Yang while scratching the top of her head.

"That's probably their race, see how he looks like a Human but he's got an animal feature, he's an alien, and that's their UFO." Said Blake while pointing at the UFO.

"As you know it, the Grimm are slowly approaching Remnant but rest assured, you now have the possibility to fight back thanks to, these." From the side of the UFO came out four accessories, a pair of boots, what looked like a huge glove, a sort of blaster, and a helmet. Before the hologram could continue Ruby took the blaster and inserted her right hand in it.

"What are you doing!? Put it back!" Ordered Weiss.

"No way, that's awesome!"

"Hey, I just needed a new helmet for Bumblebee, how lucky." Yang took the helmet and put it on herself.

"And I just needed a new pair of boots, this cast is killing me." Blake tore her cast and put her feet in the boots. "Wow, it's so comfortable."

"Would you three just quit it and put those back where they came from!?"

"Come on officer, just try it, it's like the hand of justice, it's perfect for you." Yang said while handing the glove to Weiss who eyed it with doubts written on her face until she eventually sighed and took it from Yang's hand.

"I'm only taking it so you don't get all of the evidence." Weiss put the glove on and the UFO emitted a sound. Then the four parts of the suit glowed and started tightening on the girls except for Yang which made them scream in pain.

"What is happening, I can't take it off!" Ruby said while using her feet to push the cannon out of her hand but to no avail. After a few seconds the glowing lights disappeared and the four tried to shake the parts away but they would not budge. Then, Weiss, Ruby and Blake turned to Yang who had been the only one who did not scream.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Then before their eyes, the helmet had what looked like two antennas coming out of its top before a drilling sound could be heard and the antennas started digging inside Yang's head.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Screamed Yang.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" Screamed the other girls. Then the drilling sound stopped and Yang was left breathing heavily.

"Yang, are you okay!?" Ruby asked while putting her hand on Yang's shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah, but my brain's hurting a little, the front temporal lobe to be more precise."

"Wow, I didn't know that you knew that." Ruby said while helping her sister up.

"Yeah, me neither."

"These are the parts for your battle suit, the boots will allow you to run with superhuman speed, the glove will allow you to activate an energy shield to protect you against anything, the energy cannon is, well an energy cannon, and the helmet will help you in battle thanks to its features as well as making you smarter over time."

"Wait, can I get the helmet and you take the boots? I don't really need speed." Blake suggested to Yang.

"Well seeing as you should be unable to remove the boots from yourself I do not believe that this demand is doable." Yang answered Blake who only stared back in horror.

"Oh no she's already getting smarter! The end is near!"

"This is stupid, 'boots that can give you superhuman speed?', 'a helmet that makes you smarter?'. This is obviously a prank." Commented Weiss when she noticed that Ruby was aiming her arm around her while making 'pew pew' sounds with her mouth. She was about to tell her to stop when the cannon glowed and a blast of energy came out of it and impacted with the car, destroying everything in its path.

"That, was, AWESOME!!!" Ruby yelled while caressing the cannon with her remaining hand. Blake saw the blast and decided that she'd much prefer staying out of this.

"Alright, I'm not staying here any longer." She started walking when she noticed that her leg was totally healed. "Uh, neat."

"Hey, come back here Blake, I still need to bring you three to the police station."

"Catch me if you can Weiss!" Weiss lifted her hand to catch her but Blake started running and the world around her stopped. She looked behind and saw Weiss with her hand raised to catch her but Weiss was immobile and so were Ruby and Yang. Blake grinned before she kept running far away from here. Far away being fifteen feet before she stopped and fell face first on the ground to catch her breath. "Should, exercise, more." Weiss rolled her eyes and took Yang and Ruby's wrists in her hands before walking toward Blake who was lying on the ground. Before they got to her however, the army arrived and circled them.

"FREEZE! NOBODY MOVES!"

"That's okay, I already apprehended them, you can take them with you." Weiss said while putting her hands on her waist.

"WE SAID DON'T MOVE! DON'T FORCE US TO SHOOT!" Weiss opened her mouth in shock. Did they not recognize her? She was Weiss Schnee for fuck sake!

"Hey! I'm with you you idiots! I'm an officer! Look!"

"SHE'S ATTACKING! SHOOT!" Weiss pulled her hands in front of her to protect her and she tightened her hands in fists while closing her eyes. She heard the sound of gunshots and then nothing. She opened her eyes and noticed a blue circle coming out of the glove which protected her. That must have been the energy shied and it saved her life! She began smiling when she noticed three soldiers walking toward her. Two of them took an arm each and the last one brought the butt of his rifle directly to her face, rendering her unconscious. When Ruby saw this she panicked and yelled:

"EVERY GIRL TO HERSELF!" She aimed the blaster at a soldier and shot. Thankfully the soldier had time to dodge but the tank behind him did not and it exploded. Ruby aimed the cannon at another soldier but the soldier took out a taser and shot her first which shocked her until she was unable to move.

"Come here you bastards! I'll fucking end you!" Yang shouted while fighting the soldiers barehanded. She punched one of them in his crotch and kicked another one in the head. She was about to run to another group of soldier when the one closer to her shot her in the head. Thankfully the helmet was hard enough that the bullet just bounced off of it. Yang was about to charge him when she felt two probes from a taser on her back and an electrical current pass though her. She screamed but kept on charging the soldier who shot her until she felt three pairs of probes on her arms and legs which worked this time as she fell on her knees. Before she fell unconscious, she gave the bird to the soldier which face she burned in her memory for later. Finally, only Blake was left but she was still on the ground, laying down.

"If I beg of you nicely, will you let me go?" A boot to the face was her answer.

Chapter 2: Remnant's swimming pool's champion.

Chapter Text

Blake woke up with a headache and no feelings in her legs. When she opened her eyes she noticed that she was in what seemed to be an interrogation room next to the three other girls who were with her during the UFO's crash. Ruby's leg was bouncing up and down, Yang was tapping her cheek in rhythm with her fingers (or at least she was trying to but it was hard seeing as the helmet was in the way) and Weiss had her forehead against the table with her hands in her hair.

"So, why are we here?" Blake asked to no one in particular.

"It's one of life's greatest mysteries isn't it?" Yang said while looking at her reflection in the big mirror facing them.

"No, I meant why are we in an interrogation room. Why did those soldiers show up? And why did that bastard kick me in the face? That shit hurt for Oum sake."

"I have a theory about that." The three girls turned to Weiss expecting for her continue. "What?"

"Aren't you going to give your theory?" Blake asked while the two sisters nodded.

"Oh so now you're listening to me? No because earlier when I told you to follow me to the car-" The three girls decided to ignore her and wait until someone came through the door and explained why they were in fact here. They waited five minutes when the door opened to reveal a girl with red hair and emerald eyes in a suit which accentuated her, assets. The girl however looked at them with an angry expression on her face.

"Do you gave any ideas of what you've just done?" The girls looked at each other before shrugging their shoulders at the same time. "You four just doomed Remnant."

"We what?" Ruby asked while raising an eyebrow.

"You just took our army's only defense against the enemy."

"You mean the Grimm?" Pyrrha was surprised at Weiss' question for a second until her features hardened again.

"So you already know that Remnant is about to be invaded by the Grimm unless Remnant's champion fight them with their battle suit?"

"Remnant's champion? Who the fuck is that?" Yang questioned the girl.

"That's me, Pyrrha Nikos. I am the champion of Remnant!" The four girls blinked before bursting out laughing.

"You look like the champion of swim team!" Yang added which made them laugh even more than before while Pyrrha started to turn red in embarrassment and anger.

"Shut up! Stop laughing!" That's not funny!" The four slowly started to stop laughing while wiping the tears from their eyes.

"Alright so what's the deal then? Can't you fight those Grimm yourselves? You know, use a nuke and all like in Avengers?" Ruby said which made Pyrrha rub the bridge of her nose.

"It's not so simple, the battle suit was given to us specifically to take care of the Grimm and it was supposed to work as a single unit but you four each took a part of it and now, now we're doomed." Pyrrha finished her sentence while a dark expression on her face.

"...Well, I'm not staying here any longer." Blake said before getting up and slamming her chin on the table in front of her. "What the fuck!? Why can't I move my legs!?"

"We sedated your body parts so that you would not escape. Since you can't remove the pieces of the suit we decided that we would instead cut your limbs to retrieve them."

"You can't do that!" Weiss shouted while turning blue in fear. Thankfully for them the door opened to reveal an older Weiss but this one did not have a scar over her left eye.

"She's right, they still have a chance to make up for their mistakes."

"Am I high or is there an older, sexier Weiss at the door right now?" Yang said while licking her lips.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Weiss responded while glaring at the blonde girl.

"Weiss? Please calm down." Weiss calmed down but still pouted. "Hello to you four, I am Specialist Winter Schnee from the army of Atlas, and Weiss' older sister. But that is unimportant, what is important is that you four have a chance to make up for your actions."

"Uhm, excuse me Winter Miss?" Winter turned her head to face Ruby. " What do you mean by that? You're not suggesting that we work as a team to replace Pyrrha here right? Like that's definitely not what you're suggesting right? Right?"

"It is in fact what I was about to suggest."

"Cool, because I already put a post on Valebook about us." Ruby said while slumping back on her chair.

"...You did what?" Winter asked with her eyes wide.

"Well I posted a picture of the four of us with our new tools on Valebook with the hashtag, 'go Team RWBY'."

"Why!?"

"Well I wanted to call ourselves Laser Team but it sounds bad you know? Plus I'm the only one with a laser on our team. Then, I thought that since I'm the leader of this group, our group should be named after me. I only adjusted the U for a W because of Weiss."

"No I meant why would you post something this important on Valebook you idiot!? Do you know what General Ironwood will do when he-"

"When he what?" Winter did a 180° and found herself face to face with the General. "When he learns that the world knows about the existence of alien technology?"

"S-Sir!"

"This is enough Miss Schnee. I will take care of these four. Why don't you take care of those new recruits in the Special Ops? I believe that Mr Ebi asked for an assistant."

"I, very well sir." Winter saluted and left the room but not before glancing one last time at Team RWBY's members.

"...So, are you four ready for your training?" Weiss raised her hand but Ironwood continued. "This was not a question by the way. You four either train and get good results, or there will only be one solution left. Your training starts tomorrow, for now you will be directed to your new dorm where you can rest. I believe that is all for now, you can go now." When the four girls looked at each other instead of getting up Ironwood sighed. "Just go to your dorm please."

"It's not that I don't want to go, but I'm kinda stuck unless someone carries me." Blake said while tapping the desk with her fingers. Ruby and Yang looked at each other.

"Not it!/Not it!"

"Wait, what!?" Weiss asked in confusion.

"You're carrying her, next time be faster." Yang said before getting up and leaving the room with her arms behind her head. Ruby put her hand on Weiss' shoulder.

"Good luck partner, I'm sure you can do it." Ruby then also got up and left the room leaving Weiss, Blake and Ironwood.

"...I'm not carrying you."

"You don't really have a choice Weiss."

"You could wait until the sedatives' effect go away."

"Miss Schnee? This doesn't have to be a big deal." Ironwood said with a tired expression. He did not sign up for the army to become General and take care of highschoolers.

"Uggggh... Alright I'll do it, but just this time." Weiss gets up and turns her back to Blake, waiting for her to get on her back piggyback style.

"I'm not getting on your back."

"Get on my fucking back right now."

"I'm not getting on your fucking back. Carry me bridal style."

"Alright that's it. I'm leaving, you can crawl for all I care." Weiss said and left the room. Blake looked at Ironwood, and Ironwood looked at Blake.

"Gene-"

"No."

 

 

"So, you were hanging out with Blake huh? Anything you wanna tell me?" Ruby asked Yang from her top bunk.

"Her? Ruby I thought that you knew me better than that."

"Well she's pretty, witty and she almost hurt a cop. Isn't that your type?"

"Yeah she's pretty, but she ain't got nothing on me. No I was tasked with pushing her because of her cast after fighting with the football team."

"Again?"

"Again. But what about you? Weiss said that you insulted her. What gives?"

"I was just messing with her but she took it personally."

"She said that you called her a bitch."

"It's not my fault that she acted like a bitch."

"Hey, the bitch's here." Weiss said entering the room and falling face first on the bunk underneath Ruby. "Fuck you too." She added with her voice muffled by the pillow.

"Hey Weiss, you're not carrying Blake with you?" Yang asked with a grin on her face.

"No."

"Where is she then?"

"Don't know don't care. Sleeping now. Bye." Yang looked at the white-haired girl and sighed.

"She's lucky I'm tasked with carrying her ass everywhere."

"See? You didn't have to phrase it like that yet you did." Ruby said with a wink. Yang answered her with a middle finger and left to find Blake.

"...Weiiiiss?"

"Sleepiiiing."

"Wanna bet if Blake and Yang end up together?"

"Zzzzzz."

"You literally said the letter z six times."

"Go to sleep Ruby."

"Come oooon, do you think they will?"

"No! I don't think they will! Now that I answered your question can I go back to sleep!?"

"Sure! Goodnight partner!" Weiss rolled her eyes

"..."

"You're supposed to say it back." Ruby mumbled before closing her eyes and sleeping too.

 

 

"But then again, I've always run from my past as far as I can remember. It started with my parents, then my ex... Look all I'm saying is that if I disappear one day, don't blame me for it." Blake explained to Ironwood who was banging his head on the desk at this point. Thankfully, his suffering was over when Yang opened the door to the interrogation room. When Ironwood saw her he started pleading to her with his eyes and he might even have begged of her to take her away before he himself ran outside of the room. Yang watched him leave in a hurry before turning to Blake.

"Did you just break him? Was he crying right now?"

"Mmh? Oh, we were just talking. Are you here to bring me to our dorm? Because I already told Weiss that I would not piggyback ride her and I'm not making an exception because you're you."

"Nah, I'm not giving you a piggyback ride."

"Thank Oum." Yang grabbed Blake's waist, put her over her shoulder and carried her with one arm. "Somehow, that's even worse than a piggyback ride."

"What did you tell him to break him like that?"

"Oh you know, the usual."

"That didn't sound like the usual when I was behind that glass."

"You were behind the glass? How did you do it?"

"It was easy, the helmet taught me how to pick locks. Very intuitive."

"Are we really sure that there's no way for us to switch who's got what?"

"Well unless you want me to die no." Yang kept on walking before she noticed that Blake was not talking. "...You're not thinking about killing me are you?"

"No. What makes you think that?"

"Oh nothing. Definitely not the sharp pressure that I can feel on my back."

"Ugh, that's so unfair. Why can't I have the one thing that could help me with what I'm good at? Being smart."

"You have plenty of other qualities. Don't sell yourself short."

"Really? Do you really think that?" Blake shyly asked.

"No, but it felt like the right thing to say. Man that helmet is dope!" Blake hit the back of her head in response but since Yang had her helmet on Blake only managed to hurt her hand.

"I hate you Yang."

"Sure you do."

 

 

Meanwhile, in front of Beacon's entrance stood Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing, Russel Thrush, Sky Lark and Jaune Arc who were bullying a girl with brown hair and a pair of fake bunny ears on her head. Well, Jaune was not bullying so much as he was here against his will. Earlier this semester Cardin had found Jaune in a, compromising situation. The blonde boy and his girlfriend were in the boy's bathroom in one of the stall with Jaune being the one pushed against one of the wall. Cardin had been discreet enough as to not be seen and took a photo of the two before menacing Jaune that he would send them to the whole school if he did not do his bidding. So here was Jaune, unenthusiastic to see the man bully the innocent girl.

"Give it back please, it's my only camera."

"Heh, listen to her, she's got such a stupid accent." Cardin laughed at his own joke before throwing the camera at Sky who lifted his arm high enough so that Velvet could not reach.

"Fine, you asked for it. I warned you but you did not listen." Velvet said before kneeing the dark-haired bully in the crotch which made him bend over forward. The girl took the camera with one hand and punched him in the nose with the other. "You're lucky Coco wasn't here with me right now, arseholes." And then she left the bullies, and Jaune, in front of the school.

"Wait, she knows Coco? Who is she?" Cardin asked with a frown on his face.

"Velvet Scarlatina, Coco's girlfriend." Cardin turned to Jaune while turning red.

"You knew!?"

"Of course I knew, everyone does. It's Coco we're talking about... Wait you didn't know?"

"Did it seem like I knew!? I will-" Before Cardin could continue with his threat however, the bully could see what looked like a plane falling in the forest behind the school. He was about to leave it at that when he noticed that the shape of the plane was abnormal. "We're gonna talk about that later. Boys? Follow me. I think we've just found something that will make us rich...-er. Richer." The four other boys followed him when Cardin stopped in his steps. "Not you Jaune, you're not invited."

"Yeah, go figure." Jaune said tiredly before heading home. The three other bullies chuckled before walking behind Cardin. They walked inside the forest until they noticed a hole that was not natural in the ground. The group walked near the center of the hole where what looked like a badly shaped UFO laid.

"Oh man, we're gonna be so rich!" Exclaimed Russel with a grin on his face.

"Yeah, think of all the bitches we're gonna get." Said Dove next to him while rubbing his hands together.

"We're gonna be famous. Just imagine, four boys discover that aliens exist. Fuck, we should upload it on Huntstube."

"You're forgetting something Sky, if this is really an alien's UFO, then maybe there's weapons inside. We could get something like a laser, not one those those laser pointer, a real motherfucking laser. We're gonna be unstoppable!" Cardin shouted with a sinister smile on his face. He raised his hand toward the UFO and the visor opened to reveal what looked like a black goo. Cardin raised his eyebrow in confusion before the black goo raised itself in the hair and took the shape of a Geist.

"Wait, doesn't that look like that ghost alien in Ben 10?" Russel asked.

"Yeah, I was just about to say that t-" The Geist launched itself Sky while he was answering and entered the bully though his mouth entrance, making him shake on the floor. The other three watched as their friend was getting possessed by the Grimm and slowly losing his life. Eventually, Sky stopped shaking and got up from the ground. However when he opened his eyes, the bullies could only see that his eyes were now yellow on the inside and red on the outside. Cardin and Dove watched the body of their friend when they heard a sound coming from behind them. They saw Russel with a frightened look in his eyes, and a wet stain in the front of his pant.

"I DON'T WANNA DIE! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!" He then started running away but another Geist came out of the UFO and caught him before he could escape. Cardin watched as the green-haired bully also got possessed. He turned back to see Sky, or what was in the body of Sky walking toward him and Dove. He was about to tell Dove to run in separate directions so they would not be able to go after them but he saw that his last friend was looking back at him with red and yellow eyes too. Before he could do anything else, a fourth Grimm came out of the UFO and possessed him. Cardin tried fighting back but the Grimm easily pushed Cardin in the back of his mind, making him unable to control his body anymore. The four possessed bullies looked at each other and nodded, speaking in their own language. One of them, the one controlling Sky went back to the UFO and woke up the last Grimm who had yet to possess someone. Sky took out a glass tube and the Grimm nodded before turning back to its goo form inside of the tube. The four possessed boys then disappeared into the night.

 

 

"Look, they're already sleeping." Whispered Yang to Blake who was still on her shoulder but did not seem too bothered by it anymore. "What time even is it?" Blake checked the clock in front of her over the door.

"It's eight in the afternoon."

"But didn't school end at six?"

"Yup."

"So we've only had these for two hours?"

"Yup." Yang sighed and put Blake on her bed before throwing herself on hers.

"I already have neck cramps because of the helmet."

"And my feet are itching." Blake said while stretching her legs, something that Yang saw.

"You can use your legs again."

"Yup."

"Since when?"

"A little before Weiss had to carry me." Yang looked at Blake with a serious expression and Blake looked at Yang with a little smile on her face.

"..."

"..."

"... I won't lie, that was pretty funny. But next time you pull something like this it's your two legs that'll need a cast."

"As long as you're not pushing my wheelchair I should be fine."

"Come on I wasn't that-"

"Remember when you had to pee so you attached the wheelchair to a lamppost but then forgot about it?"

"Well no because I forgot, how am I supposed to remember it if I forgot? And it's not that bad, at least you weren't in the-" Blake raised her eyebrow at Yang. "Wheel...chair... You were in the wheelchair."

"I was in the wheelchair."

"Uh, now I remember it. Do you want me to say that I'm sorry?"

"I want many things Yang, your helmet for once, a steady life as a librarian too."

"You wanna become a librarian?"

"Yeah, I could read books and work somewhere quiet. That's like a dream come true." Yang snorted.

"That's a shitty dream." Blake rolled her eyes.

"What about you? What do you wanna do?"

"I... I wanna find my mom." Yang said while looking down.

"Touchy subject?"

"Nah, I've lived all my life without her, I'm used to it."

"Did she leave?"

"Yeah, she left me with my dad and Ruby's mom."

"Wait, you don't have the same moms?"

"Pfft, nah. Summer's Ruby's mom, she was the best. She took care of me as if I was her real daughter... I miss her. And Ruby does too even if she doesn't show it." Yang took a glance at Ruby and saw her still sleeping with her arms and legs out of her blanket while snoring. Blake coughed to go back on topic.

"And do you have any clue about your mom's whereabouts?"

"Well, my dad doesn't, he too hasn't seen her since she left. But my uncle's still in contact with her every once in a while even though he wouldn't tell me."

"Wow, your uncle's a dick."

"Yeah, but he's not so bad. And he's one hell of a coach. But what about you? You were talking about your ex earlier. What happened?" Blake blushed at the mention of her ex.

"Oh, that was nothing. We just didn't like each other anymore and we broke up. That's all."

"Did you know that the helmet also worked as a lie detector?" Yang said while putting her hand on her cheek. Well she tried but the helmet got in the way so she put it on the visor.

"Alright fine. Ilia and I broke up because I didn't like her anymore. But Ilia loved me, a little bit too much to be honest."

"Wow, ego much?"

"No, I'm serious. She literally broke into my house in the middle of the night to take pictures of me when I was sleeping."

"That's... creepy."

"Yup, I had to leave my home and find a flat close to Beacon because of that."

"What about your parents? How did they take it?"

"I don't know, I didn't call them ever since I left. I just wrote them a note telling them that they didn't have to worry about me and that I would see them if something important ever happened to me."

"Isn't our situation right now something important that happened to you?" Yang pointed at her head and at Blake's feet.

"Well yeah but..."

"You're scared." Yang pointed out.

"...Can we just go to sleep? I don't want to talk about it right now. Or ever." Blake said before turning her body to face the wall, ending their conversation. Yang watched her but she just shrugged and took her phone to text her and Ruby's dad that they were okay before putting her phone away and trying to sleep, the helmet prevented her from sleeping on her sides or on her stomach so with an annoyed look on her face, Yang slept on her back.

Chapter 3: Training time or how to fail with(out) dignity.

Notes:

I really like the fic's idea but sadly I suck as an author and even more as someone who needs to write on time. Sure I don't have a schedule, but come on, three months for one chapter? ONE CHAPTER!? And I'm not even planning on writing the next chapter. I know what I planned for the next chapter but I haven't worked on it yet nor do I plan on doing so. Anyways, hope you'll enjoy this chapter, see you in at least a month!

Chapter Text

"Up and at 'em girls! If I even see one of your lazy ass still in bed in the next minute you're all doing five more laps around the building!" Winter shouted as she turned on the light in the room.

"And I swear that if I get up in the next minute we're going to find your body parts all around the building." Came Yang's reply as she put a pillow over her head. Well, helmet.

"Winter? What are you doing here?" Asked Weiss already dressed in her military getup, with a rifle in her hands.

"First of all, where did you get that rifle? And wear something lighter, you're about to go training not fight, not yet at least. But to answer your question, I will be the one training you four for the entirety of this week." Ruby yawned while rubbing her eyes before a smile graced her features.

"You're going to train us!? That's so cool! We're gonna be like super soldiers! Just like in Dust Gear!"

"Or super heroes like in Captain Mistral! Too bad that the critics gave it a bad review, I thought it was a good movie." Yang said as she got up and started changing into her training outfit.

"That's because the main lead is a woman, the critics thought that it made no sense for a woman to save the day." Weiss explained to Yang.

"You watched Captain Mistral? You?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Weiss asked as she crossed her arms in front of her.

"Well, you're you to start of. You don't seem like the type that would watch action movies, I thought you didn't even have a TV at home."

"I don't have one. I went to the theater to watch it."

"Wow, you really are boring." Yang yawned while stretching as Weiss groaned in annoyance. She looked around the room before she stared at one particular bed.

"Has anyone seen Blake?" Yang and Ruby turned to each other before they looked back to Weiss with Ruby answering her.

"No, we just woke up. I didn't even see her getting off of her bed. I don't think she was here when we woke up." Weiss bit her tongue, and asked herself a question she knew she did not want the answer to.

"Where is she then?"

 

 

"Just give it to me!"

"Miss, I'm gonna ask you to leave."

"You're liars! You said you would serve it but you lied!" The cook sighed before he turned back to the angry girl behind the glass window.

"I told you, the tuna sandwiches were served yesterday, we just forgot to take the signs to the kitchen. Plus we serve them every Friday, just wait until next Friday and you'll have your sandwich."

"There won't be a next Friday!"

"That's not my problem, Friday is tuna sandwiches, and today is Saturday."

"So you're saying that you're not hiding said sandwiches behind these doors." The cook gulped.

"The access to the cuisine is unauthorized to individuals who are not members of the culinary staff." Blake grinned.

"I'm not hearing a no." And she disappeared from the cook sight. The cook looked left and right, even looking down behind the glass windows in case she just crouched really fast but no, the angry girl disappeared just like that. Had he been paying attention, he would have noticed the door behind him opening and closing until it stopped moving.

 

 

Winter rubbed the bridge of her nose and raised her voice.

"No matter, we'll find her soon enough. Now, since you three are ready, follow me."

"I didn't hear a please." Yang replied.

"It's because it wasn't a request but an order. I'm a Specialist and since you're all members of this army now, whether you want it or not, it means that you're under my command. So execute my orders and stop bitching about it."

"Grrr." Yang mimed a paw slashing in front of her while wiggling her eyebrows which made Winter let out a dental click with her tongue.

"Uhm, where are you taking us exactly?" Ruby asked innocently as she raised her hand. Winter would have believed in the act had she not seen herself how the little girl had been making fun of Pyrrha, her sister, Ruby's own sister, the missing girl, and herself. Even the General now that she thought about it, the girl really did not respect anyone.

"First you're going to run a few miles to test your stamina, then you will be at the machines to test your strength, and finally you will try the shooting range to test your aim."

"Oh, fair enough." Winter hummed.

"You don't seem all that bothered with what I told you. Is there a reason?" The girl shrugged.

"Well, I ran tracks in High school so stamina testing should be easy enough. Yang forces me to do some workout during the weekend."

"It's not like I could let you devour all these cookies without you at least going to the gym every now and then."

"I don't have an obsession with cookies Yang!"

"No one said that little sis." Ruby hit Yang's arm and Yang gave Ruby the ol' Noogie.

"Ow ow ow! Stop!" Ruby freed herself from Yang's grasp and hit her in the other arm before she turned back to Winter as if nothing happened. "And for the aiming test..."

"What about it?" Winter inquired with a raised eyebrow but it was Yang who answered her.

"Ruby's the town's shooter champion. She won the last three tournaments she participated in." Winter's eyebrows shot up, impressed with what she heard.

"Well this is certainly impressive, are there any other talents that you're hiding from us Miss Rose?"

"Her farts smell like roses."

"They do not! Stop saying that to everyone Yang!" Weiss rolled her eyes at the two sisters.

"I can't believe that I have to work with them, are you really sure there isn't a way for the army to retrieve the alien artifacts without hurting us? Or only Yang?"

"I heard that." Weiss ignored the blonde's comment.

"No unfortunately, we would have done so already if it was possible."

"If it were possible." Winter turned to the blonde.

"What?"

"It's if it were, you can't kill me, it's an impossible situation, ergo, were. And not was. You were wrong." Winter glared at the blonde who sneezed and tried to wipe the inside of the helmet without success.

"You're running double the time everyone will run."

"Shouldn't it be the length that should be doubl-"

"Just shut up for fuck sake!"

 

 

The four girls stood in front of a white line, Ruby was stretching, Weiss had her arms crossed in front of her, Blake had a tuna sandwich in her hand and Yang was muttering something to herself. Winter wondered what she did to deserve her life as she watched them.

"Why is Miss Rose the only one stretching when you all know that you're going to be running for a while?"

"'m ea'in."

"Miss Belladonna, stop eating... And where did you even get a tuna sandwich?"

"Gulp, the cafeteria."

"Why did you say-no. I'm not talking with you anymore. Weiss?"

"I already stretched when I woke up sister. My body is ready to endure whatever it is you will be throwing at us today."

"It was earlier Weiss, now is now. Your body isn't as prepared as it was when you woke up. Try to remember it tomorrow. As for you..."

"67, 68, 69, eheh, 69."

"Miss Xiao-Long?" Yang turned to look at Winter with a passive expression. "Why were you muttering to yourself instead of stretching?" Yang blinked.

"I was counting."

"Counting what?" Asked Winter who tried very hard not to shout at the girl.

"The number of laps we would need to do to achieve 15 miles."

"...How much did you estimate?"

"Almost 88. But I was distracted by a ladybug that flew on my visor earlier So I may have been a mile off." Winter closed her eyes and imagined herself on the beach, in a tropical island. Then she opened her eyes again and she was disappointed to see that the four girls were still in front of her.

"Whatever, just start now." When the girls looked at each other, Winter finally snapped. "I SAID RUN!" The four ran at their own pace with Blake in front thanks to her boots, followed by Ruby, then Yang, and finally Weiss. Weiss smirked as even if she knew she was in last place right now, this race was not a competition of speed, but stamina. Blake, Ruby and Yang will soon slow down and suffer side stitches while she will keep running at a slow pace until the finish line and eventually finish first. Her prediction almost turned out true when Ruby slowly started closing the gap between her and Blake. She could not see her face but she was sure that it was red and that the antisocial girl was panting. Eventually, Ruby passed by her, followed by Yang, and finally her. Blake was indeed being red in the face and panting Weiss noted with a smug look. However when she turned her head back in front of her she let out a small-

"What the fuck!?" A big, sound of indignation. The two sisters were even further from her than they were when they started running and they did not seem to slow down in the least. Now, Weiss knew that she should not let her ego dictates her actions, but seeing the two perform better than her, in front of her sister no less, was not something she wanted to see happening. She pushed harder and closed the gap between her and Yang steps after steps. When she finally caught up to her, Weiss noticed that Yang was smiling for seemingly no reason. What was wrong with her? Then Weiss noticed it a little light coming from her visor. Weiss squinted her eyes to see better and she let out a gasp before she turned red from more than the exercise.

'Is this idiot really watching porn while running?' Weiss shook her head and simply kept on running, intending to close the gap with the girl in first place. She had to admit, while Ruby may have been an asshole when they first met, the girl sure had stamina while still keeping a pretty decent pace. Weiss was impressed by the girl's physical prowess, but she had to beat her and so she kept on running, pushing herself even harder to catch up to her and outrun her. Winter was observing the girls with a frown on her face. Weiss was taking the training as a competition as Winter knew she would, Blake had tried using her boots and was now lagging far behind Yang in last place, Yang who was running at a decent pace while also doing something on her helmet that Winter could not see but if the way the blonde was biting her lower lip was any indication, it probably meant nothing good and finally Ruby. Winter let out a smile grace her lips. While Ruby acted like a child, she at least took the task of saving the world seriously. And she was doing a good job for the girls' first exam. She hoped that Ruby and the girls would pass those exams, not only because Weiss would then have to lose an arm and Yang would be a sacrifice for the greater good, but also because the fate of Remnant was in their hands. And in Blake's boots, and Yang's helmets. And Ruby's cannon since her alien artifact did not have fingers.

 

 

'I'm close, I'll finally pass her!'

'I wonder how Zwei's doing... Oh and dad too. I didn't forget about him. No, shut up brain... Wait, is that?' "Oh hey Weiss! What's up?"

"I'm, gonna, beat you."

"What? It's not a race Weiss. You don't need to push yourself like that."

"Shut, up."

"You know that I ran track in High school, you don't need to prove that you're superior to me."

"I said, shut up."

"I mean not that it's the case, I'm not even tired while you look... Well let's just say that I've seen you doing better."

"I'll win this race and make you shut up."

"Mmmh, I don't think so no. I mean without counting the fact that I'll probably still talk even if you were, and I repeat, were, to win this imaginary race of yours, I don't think you'll outrun me. But just to be sure, WINTER!"

"What is it!?"

"How many laps are remaining!?"

"2!"

"Well bye Weiss, don't mop too much after your 'defeat'." Ruby looked ahead and ran even faster than she was already doing while singing 'We Are The Title-Holders' by the Achieve Men band. Weiss tried keeping up with her but she was too exhausted after pushing herself this much. She was eventually passed by Yang who was panting, no wait she was moaning until Blake joined her.

"I hate, your sister, so much."

"Shut, up." The two finally reached the finish line where they started, Weiss in the last ten meters actually sprinted, not wishing to end up last but Blake simply used her boots to arrive in third place, sticking her tongue out at the girl before she fell face first on the ground, exhausted after running more than she ever ran her entire life. Weiss groaned in annoyance before she too fell on the floor. Hopefully she will end up with a better score than them at the strength test.

...

...

...

She did not but in her defense, she did end up in second place. And Ruby only ended up in third place so, take that Ruby! Also her thighs were killing her and they might be sore for the next two or three days. She was also never talking to Yang again who kept boasting after she managed to lift all the weights available for each machine. That girl was a monster.

 

Finally, the four girls found themselves in front of the shooting range. Winter instructed them on what they were supposed to do which was relatively simple. Targets would be moving left and right and they had to hit them as soon as poss-

BANG!

"MISS XIAO LONG!"

"My finger slipped!"

'Of course, even the easiest tasks would prove themselves to be near impossible with these three idiots.' Weiss thought before she went first and shot the moving targets. She only missed three which still counted as a success for the examiners. Blake went next and surprisingly only missed two targets. When Weiss raised an eyebrow questioningly Blake only shrugged before she took a seat next to her. Yang went after her and she ended up with only one, only one target hit. She did not actually shoot the target, she got angry when no shot hit and threw the gun at it, effectively breaking it. The gun also fired and shot the girl in the head but thankfully the helmet was still bulletproof. It still hurt though and she sat on the ground in front of Weiss and Blake who chuckled at the expense of the angered girl. Ruby walked in front of the shooting range and checked the gun in her hand before she turned to Winter.

"Do I really need a gun?" Winter tilted her head.

"What do you mean?" Ruby raised her right hand where the blaster was still stuck and Winter made an 'oh' expression.

"Well, you're not wrong but, with the blaster you won't be able to restrain your foes, only kill them, painfully too."

"Who cares about that? They're Grimm, it's not like I'll be a cop or a soldier when it's done. I'm here to save the world, arresting criminals is you and your sister's job." Winter opened her mouth before she closed it as she pondered over the girl's logic. She technically was not wrong, but she could have been more, gentle, with how she explained.

"Well we still need to use those targets later, so destroying them is not an option, now use the gun and shoot the targets." She was still a little peeved Ruby could tell, but she just shrugged and aimed the gun at the targets as they came. Weiss watched as the regular student shot every target, in the head no less, without even using both hands to aim. Yang was cheering for her sister and Blake was clapping with a neutral expression on her face. Weiss however was glaring at the other girl. Winter wrote something on her notes and she left the training room, only for Weiss to get up and walk to stand next to Ruby.

"What was that!?" Ruby raised an eyebrow as she set the gun in front of her with its clip out of the chamber.

"What was what?"

"You think I haven't noticed huh?"

"Weiss, what are you talking about?"

"You're trying to get on Winter's good side by making me look like I'm bad. Don't deny it." Ruby blinked before she raised her hand and took a deep breath.

"What!? Weiss! No! I don't care about those tests! Well I do care but not for the reason you're thinking! I just want to save the world and for me to do so I need to perform well. That's it!" This time, Weiss was the one blinking.

"Sooo, you're not trying to win my sister over me?"

"First of, gross, phrase it a little better, and no, I don't want to win your sister's affection or adoration or whatever you think it is I want to win." Weiss let out a sigh of relaxation.

"Good, I was scared for a little bit. But hear me out Ruby, I will train, and I will be better than you at everything we're doing." Ruby winked at her before she turned her back to her.

"We'll see about that, Weiss." The four then saw the door opening and Winter coming out of it with a frown on her face.

"We've analyzed your performances and we've come to a decision." Winter turned to Ruby and Weiss. "You two will be able to keep the suit's parts and fight in order to save the world. Your performances were tolerable enough to give you two the capacity to stay." Ruby almost cheered before she understood what her and Weiss's acceptations meant for Blake and more importantly, Yang. Winter turned to the two other girls and at least had the decency to look sad. "You two have not been able to measure up to our standards. For you Miss Xiao Long it was due to your inability to shoot a target. As for you Miss Belladonna, your physical performances were simply not suited for someone fighting to save the world. I hope you will come to accept our decision since whether you want it or not we will take the helmet and boots from you." Ruby was about to shout before Yang's voice answered Winter.

"I understand, you have to do what you have to do to save Remnant... When will you take the helmet?"

"We have a team of surgeons that will retrieve the artifacts early tomorrow. I'll wake you up and take you to the operation room... I'm sorry."

"Don't be, it wasn't your decision to make." Winter's fingers pressed on her notes harder but she kept her voice from wavering.

"You four can go back to your quarters. Goodnight." As soon as Winter closed the door behind her Ruby tackled Yang.

"WHAT WERE YOU SAYING!?"

"Rub-"

"ARE YOU AN IDIOT!? THEY'RE GOING TO KILL YOU YANG!"

"YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT!?"

"THEN WHY DID YOU AGREE!?"

"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU YOU MORON!" Ruby flinched but Yang continued even as tears started falling from her eyes. "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THAT I'M READY TO SACRIFICE MY LIFE IF IT MEANS YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO LIVE! I DON'T- I DON'T WANNA DIE BUT I'D RATHER DIE KNOWING YOU'LL LIVE THAN STAY ALIVE KNOWING YOU'RE DEAD BECAUSE OF ME!" Ruby looked at Yang before she darted for the door and left, leaving behind the three girls with different thoughts on their minds. It was Yang who spoke first after she sniffed in order to stop her nose from running. "Weiss?"

"Yes?"

"I want you to promise me that you'll look after Ruby after I'm gone."

"I-I..."

"Please Weiss, promise me." Yang looked up at Weiss and the look she gave her made her gulp.

"I promise Yang." Yang smiled a small smile before she got up from the floor and left the shooting range training room to go back to the team's quarters. She saw Ruby on top of her bunk bed with her back facing her, it hurt, but at least she was making the right choice. She took a shower and put her pajamas on before she went to her bed and slept with a frown on her face.

 

Clung!

Alert, alert, unknown movement in peripheral vision, possible enemies on the move, wake up.

Yang woke up alarmed when she heard the helmet's voice in her head. She looked left and right but only the dark met her. Thankfully she remembered that the helmet came with night vision so she activated it and saw, well it was a cute butt, well-developed that's for sure, but why was an ass waking her up? The ass moved and from behind it came the face of Blake in variations of green and white.

"Blake? What are you doing?" Blake was startled when Yang addressed her but she turned back to her bag.

"I'm leaving." The words took a moment for Yang to understand them before she was awake for good.

"You're what!?"

"Shhh. Don't whisper-shout."

"What do you mean you're leaving? You can't leave, they haven't taken the boots yet."

"Yes exactly, I'm not going to sit here while they take my legs and leave me crippled." Yang shook her head as Blake picked up her bag and left the room. Yang quickly put a jacket over herself and grabbed a pair of shoes that felt too small, of course, Yang wore boots, she took Ruby's shoes that were two sizes too small, before she went after the fleeing girl. She easily caught up to her and pinned her against one of the wall of the hallway.

"You're not running away. The planet is about to be destroyed and you want to run away? Where do you think you'll go? Nowhere will be safe when the Grimm will be here!"

"I don't know about you but I have boots that can help me escape for as long as I'll need to. And don't be such a hypocrite." Yang's face twisted into fury at Blake's statement.

"What did you say? Say it again, I dare you." Blake looked back at Yang with a frown of her own.

"You heard me, you don't care about Remnant, you only care about Ruby."

"So what if I do!? She's the only thing I have left worth protecting and you can believe me when I say that I'm gonna do everything to protect her, even if it means stopping you."

"Then, good luck doing that." Blake punched Yang's stomach and used her boots to run away from Yang who ran after her. Blake may be faster, but she will tire herself out. And while she could run, she could not hide as the helmet allowed her to see where the other suit's parts were. She took off after Blake who took turns after turns in the hallways before she came to a stop. 

'A dead-end! She can't escape now!' Yang slowed down before the corner, ready to ambush Blake when she heard two voices, one male and one female.

"What was she doing here? And why was she running?"

"I don't know, but the General told us to keep an eye on the girls with the boots and the helmet. I think she tried to run away."

"What should we do?"

"Well she's just going to try and run away again, I say we kill her in 'self defense', take her boots and maybe the General will pick us to save the world."

"Fuck Em, that's why you're the smart one while I'm the handsome one."

"Shut up Merc, just kill her and throw her body in the morgue or something." Yang did not even think before she intervened.

"Hey!" She noticed Blake's body lying on the ground and the two soldiers looking in her direction. "Get away from her!"

"Oh shit it's the one with the helmet! Shoot her Merc!"

"You shoot!" The two shot in her direction but Yang had the time to hide behind the wall from which she came from. She had to think fast or Blake would die. But, was it so bad? Of course it was! She may have disliked the girl and she may not agree with the whole running away from responsibilities but she did not deserve to die for some recognition! What could she do? Wait, the helmet could tell her what to do! "...You think she ran away?"

"Well, there's only one way to find out..." Emerald and Mercury longed the wall opposite the corner in case Yang attacked them by surprise. They longed until... Nothing. No sight of the girl with the helmet.

"Well, I guess she did run aw-" Mercury received a knee to the head that seemed to have fallen from heaven but was actually just the top of the hallway. Yang went up the hallway's walls by using her hands and her legs to stay in place horizontally. Emerald raised her rifle again but Yang snatched it from her and used the butt of it to hit the girl in the face hard enough to render her unconscious and knock a tooth out. Mercury from his side got up and took a fighting stance as he regained his bearing. "Nice trick but you won't catch me by surprise this time." Yang stared at him and she aimed Emerald's rifle in his direction giving him just enough time to widen his eyes before she shot him in the knee. "ARGH BITCH!" 

"Uh, I was aiming for your head, I guess you're luck-" A second shot was fired by accident when Yang lowered the rifle which hit him in the other leg. "-y... Welp, it was nice meeting you." She kicked him in the head as she passed by him and picked up Blake's unconscious body before an alarm went off.

Warning, traitors attacked the base, this is not a drill. Traitors identified as Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long. Shoot on sight if encountered.

Meanwhile, back in the dorm.

"What the!? Oh you've got to be kidding me! Damn it Yang!"

"That's your sister, what were you expecting?"

"Many things but not attacking one of the army's training base!"

"And she even dragged Blake in her shenanigans, I'd say poor girl but she hasn't done a thing to deserve my pity."

"We need to find them. Yang is strong but they'll both die if we don't help them." Weiss chocked on her own spit.

"Are you crazy!? They're going to kill us!"

"Not if we all fight together! We have the suit for a reason don't we!?"

"The suit wasn't made for us in the first place!"

"Well, I'm still going. You can come with me, or you can stay here... I'd be happy if you came." Ruby whispered the last part and ran out of the room with the door closing behind her. Weiss watched the door and shook her head.

'If she wants to die then it's her problem, not mine...... Damn it I hate them. They're lucky I feel gracious enough to help them. They wouldn't survive without me.' Weiss left the room and ran with only one thought in mind. 'Where the fuck did they go?'

Chapter 4: What's the plan?

Notes:

Yeaaah more notes at the end.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Ruby ran and immediately regretted it. She had no clue as to where Yang and Blake were. She supposed it was not that bad since it meant the other soldiers here did not know either. She noticed several soldiers ahead of her and she acted fast. She knocked one of the soldiers head with her blaster and took his gun in her left hand before she shot a hole in one of the wall. She ran inside of the hole and saw another hallway but empty this time. She ran in what was hopefully the right direction and thought of a plan to escape the military base. They could not just try to leave head-on, it was too risky even with Weiss' shield. Then again Weiss did not seem like she was about to leave the dorm so even lesser reasons as for them escaping this way. They also could not disguise themselves for various reasons, clothes' size, Yang's helmet, her blaster, Blake's boots and the fact that they were teenagers looking like teenagers did not help. She ran and turned left only to get knocked to the ground when a arm collided with her. She shook her head to focus back and saw red hair on top of her. Pyrrha stared at her with an angry expression. This was not looking good for her. She looked away and saw the knife in the girl's hand. The knife which quickly moved in her direction. She barely dodged the stab aimed at her face but she knew that she would need a new haircut. Before Pyrrha could try to stab her again she kicked her in the stomach and pushed herself to her feet only to dodge another stab aimed at her chest this time. Pyrrha was too strong for her, she had trained to be Remnant's champion after all and so Ruby did the most logical thing and ran in the direction from which she came from.

"Oh no you don't." She turned and saw the knife turning on itself while moving behind her and she closed her eyes expecting pain only to feel nothing. She opened her eyes again and saw Pyrrha through a blue colored filter. The filter disappeared with a noise and Weiss smacked her head.

"Really!? I leave you alone for a second and you almost die!?" She was about to continue scolding her when Ruby hugged her with a smile.

"You came! Thank you Weiss!" Weiss blushed a little but cleared her throat as she pushed the younger girl away from her.

"Don't ever hug me again, that's disgusting. Now then," Weiss turned to Pyrrha who took the opportunity to pick up her knife again when it bounced on the shield. "I think we need to go that way and you're blocking us." Ruby turned to her.

"How do you know it's that way?" Weiss blinked.

"What do you mean? Aren't Blake and Yang behind her?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know!?"

"I mean I don't know! I was just running and hoping to find them!"

"Dammit Ruby! That's the stupidest plan I've ever heard!"

"At least I'm try-dodge!" Ruby pushed Weiss out of the way and the knife took her place before it stuck itself to the wall behind them. Pyrrha ran at Ruby and swept her of her feet before she turned to Weiss and threw punches at her. Weiss dodged and blocked some of them but still took some blows on her and after a right hook was sent on the floor. Pyrrha took the knife from the wall and tried stabbing Weiss only for her reflexes to save her when she opened the shield just in time. Pyrrha was pushing the blade but it was also pushing the shield with it. She kicked Weiss' legs with her feet to try and make the girl release the shield but before she could continue she felt a blow on her back making her release the knife. She turned and saw Ruby with her blaster aimed in her direction. "I won't hesitate bitch!" Pyrrha only smiled viciously.

"You don't have the guts kid. You're too-" She was interrupted when Ruby fired and the blast hit her in the chest sending her crashing against a wall unconscious.

"Holy shit Ruby you killed her!"

"It was an accident! I didn't mean to kill her! I swear! Wait look!" Weiss looked back at Pyrrha's body and she noticed that her chest was slowly moving up and down.

"That was still too close. Don't shoot with the alien tech next time."

"I won't... Maaaaybe. You've gotta admit that it was pretty cool." Weiss stared at her.

"Ruby."

"Okay okay, I get it. Such a buzzkill. Anyway, shall we continue?" Weiss rubbed the bridge of her nose.

"We may as well." Ruby helped Weiss up and the two ran and turned left but Ruby collided with someone and sent them all crashing to the ground. She quickly got to her knees and aimed her gun at:

"Yang!"

"Ruby!" The two went in for a hug but Yang had her arms over her head since she was carrying Blake on her shoulder in a fireman carry.

"Uhm, why's she unconscious?" Weiss asked and Yang looked at Blake's face.

"Oh her? She kinda tried running away and I tried to stop her but she used the boots and when I found her again she was about to get shot by some soldiers so I protected her and now here I am." Yang explained simply.

"Did you kill the soldiers!?" Weiss shouted.

"What? No! I didn't kill anyone but it was pretty cool I will admit." Weiss sighed while Ruby was asking for 'more details explain!' in the background.

"Let's get you two back to the dorms and we'll explain them that it was simply a misunderstanding." Yang snorted.

"Oh sure, let's take the hallways that are filled with soldiers ready to shoot Blake and I on sight. Great idea Weiss." Weiss blushed.

"Well it's not my fault that you two sounded the alarm. At least Ruby and I are still-"

Warning, traitors attacked the base, this is not a drill. Traitors identified as Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee. Shoot on sight if encountered. The same also applies for the other traitors Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long.

"Mmmh no mom I don't wanna go to school." Blake mumbled in her unconscious state.

"Oooh Blaaaake~ you need to wake up sweetie or you're gonna be late." Yang told her in a tender voice.

"But whyyy?"

"Becauuuuse~" Yang put Blake down and slapped her face which woke her up instantly. "BECAUSE YOU'RE A FUCKING BITCH THAT'S GONNA GET US ALL KILLED SO YOU'RE GOING TO FUCKING STAND UP AND FIGHT! GOT IT!?" Blake nodded as she did not want to know what Yang would have done if she had said no instead. "Good, you're not going to run away again?" Blake shook her head. "Very good, welcome back to the team." Weiss cleared her throat to get everyone's attention.

"I'm super glad that we're all friends again, I mean I don't personally care but that's not the point, the point, is that we're still in a military base, filled with trained soldiers that are armed. What do we do?" Two heads and a helmet turned to a fourth one.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Ruby asked. Weiss opened her mouth and closed it.

"That's a good question, why are we all looking at you like that? Why am I looking at you like that?"

"Maybe because you finally consider her as someone you can trust and rely on when the situation asks for it... Does anyone smell bacon or is it just me?" Yang asked while her helmet made some small noises.

"What!? I'm not..." Ruby, Blake and Yang looked at Weiss. "No, no I won't believe what you just said. Shut up. Shut up." Blake who finally woke up from her state of trance turned to Ruby and ignored Weiss' little external crisis.

"Do you have a plan?"

"A solid plan?" Ruby asked.

"Any type of plan at this point."

"No wait, it smells like ham." Tuning her out, Ruby answered Blake.

"To be honest, no. I don't have one. At least, I don't have a safe plan."

"So you do have a plan. What is it?" Ruby's feet were fidgeting.

"It's nothing it's stupid." Blake was patient but even she has her limit.

"Ruby, tell us the fucking plan." Ruby looked at the three girls and mentally cheered herself.

"Okay, here's what we're gonna do."

 

 

"Sir, we haven't found the traitors yet but managed to establish a perimeter to prevent them from escaping." Winter announced as she entered the General's office.

"Tell all of our men to be prepared, we will launch an attack to make sure that we retrieve the alien technology."

"Sir, about that." Winter timidly said.

"What is it Specialist Schnee?"

"Well, one of the traitors is my sister and she's working as a cop so I doubt that she is collaborating with the other three girls."

"And?"

"I think that killing her would be a mistake. The same thing goes for Miss Rose." Ironwood raised an eyebrow.

"I can understand the concern for you sister but what about Miss Rose?"

"She, she bested Miss Nikos." Ironwood opened his mouth with a shocked expression visible on his face.

"She did what?"

"She knocked out Miss Nikos and that's why I believe that killing her would be a mistake. She could be a great help against the Grimm sir and I would like to remind you that she isn't even properly trained." The General put his indexes against his lips in thought before he stood up.

"Tell every soldier to stay where they are, I'll find them and talk to them mys-" A soldier opened the door in a rush and quickly informed the General.

"We found the traitors sir!"

"Where are they?"

"They're moving sir!"

"Where are they heading to?" The soldier gulped.

"The front of the base sir!" Ironwood blinked before he asked himself perhaps the single most important question in his life.

"They aren't that stupid, are they?"

 

 

"RUBY YOU STUPID IDIOT IF WE DIE I PROMISE YOU I'LL KILL YOU MYSELF!!!"

"SHUT UP AND KEEP PUSHING WEISS!"

"I JUST WANTED TO KEEP MY LEGS!"

"FUCK THE POLICE!"

"WE'RE SOLDIERS NOT COPS YOU BLOND OATH!"

"LOOK OUT!" The other three girls looked ahead and noticed soldiers standing in front of them aiming their guns in their direction and Weiss put her glove in front of everyone as Yang held her shoulder which doubled the size of the shield and allowed the four of them to be protected behind it as Blake pushed a random cart that they found in the base toward the entrance. "Blake go faster!"

"You go and push 3 grown-ass women on a cart!" Ruby stuck her tongue out and aimed her blaster in the soldiers' way.

"You're not actually going to shoot them are you!?" Weiss asked and Ruby turned to her.

"You have a better idea!?"

"...Just don't kill them!" Ruby smirked and began shooting at the soldiers, missing some of her shots as the cart was going too fast but still hitting some soldiers in the torso and even one in the nuts. "Booyah assholes!" Yang meanwhile was throwing guns at the soldiers and actually hitting them all in the head.

"What's next Rubes!?" She shouted as a soldier slipped on a banana that she threw at him.

"What do you mean!?" 

"The plan!"

"Oh, I didn't really think that far ahead honestly! I thought that we could just barge through them and hope for the best!" Weiss's neck's snapped in her direction and her eyes were murderous.

"RUBY ROSE I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!"

"Wall!" Yang suddenly shouted and Blake looked at her.

"Wall!?"

"WALL AHEAD!" Blake raised her head and took the sight of the wall ahead of them. The wall was big, no wait, it was getting bigger, oh, now that she really thought about it it wasn't getting bigger it was getting closer, or rather they were getting closer to it. She tried turning the cart but it was one thing to push in one direction, changing direction was an entirely different experience.

"I CAN'T SLOW DOWN!"

"I've got an idea!" Ruby aimed at the wall with her glove and shot. The wall surprisingly only got scorched and Yang turned to Ruby.

"That didn't work!"

"Thank you Yang, I really didn't notice. Alright plan B. Everybody gets behind Weiss's shield!"

"This is a terrible idea!" The Atlesian announced and the four of them braced for impact. The wall might have survived Ruby's laser but it was not sturdy enough to resist an impact with an impenetrable shield launched with the momentum acquiered by Blake's boots. Yang regained her bearings first and looked around her only to see the open road leading to the base.

"I can't believe we made it. Guys we-" She looked at her friends, at least she considered them friends, mostly, and cringed. Blake was on the side throwing up, Weiss had her head shoved in the dirt and had troubles getting out as for Ruby... Where was Ruby?

"Yang, over here!" Ah, Ruby was stuck in a tree along with the cart. Or rather she was stuck in the tree while the cart was through the tree, if she had to use a word to describe its condition it would be unusable. 

"They made it through the wall! After them!" She could hear a soldier scream and she quickly grabbed Weiss's legs before pulling the now brown-haired girl out of her hole.

"Not a word." Was her threat.

"We don't have time, help Blake, I'll go grab Rubes. We need to leave ASAP." Weiss grumbled but complied.

"I'm sure that you didn't even know *bluuuuuuurgh* the abbreviation's meaning before yesterday." Blake complained as Weiss brought an arm around her to get her up.

"I will kill you if you throw up on my boots."

"But it would match with your hair." Yang helped Ruby out of the tree and the four of them ran to the road before Weiss turned to Ruby.

"What now? I doubt that you have a car, or even a licence to begin with." Ruby ignored Weiss and turned to Yang.

"We need a car."

"No shit, how do we get one?" Ruby stared at Yang and Yang looked down before sighing. "Alright I'll do it but none of you say a word about it."

"Thanks sis you're the best."

"A word about wha-" Weiss asked when the group noticed a car coming their way. Yang bit her lips and opened her jacket before lifting her shirt which made both Weiss and Blake stop to blush. The car however did not stop and they noticed that each of the seats in the car were occupied by what seemed to be a family with children who were gaping at Yang's assets. The blonde pulled her shirt down and looked away from the rest of her team while Ruby put her normal hand on her shoulder.

"It's okay Yang, you couldn't have possibly known."

"Ruby, either use your blaster to kill me or shut up."

"I'm not gonna kill you with my blas...ter..." Weiss, having recovered from her shock turned to Ruby with an unexpressive expression.

"Let me guess, you just remembered that you had a blaster that you could have used to get us a car." Ruby turned to Weiss with a sheepish expression.

"Well, yeah, but look on the bright side. Imagine if I had remembered earlier and it worked, that family would have their car stolen by us. Good people don't steal families' cars."

"Sure, it's better for us to die than for the military to help them get home and possibly even buy them another car for their trouble, how short-minded of me."

"Uhm guys, there's another car incoming." Blake said as she pointed at another car coming their way as well as the soldiers catching up to them." Ruby put her hand on Blake's back.

"Think you can use your boots one last time?" Blake gulped and nodded.

"I mean, it's either I try and we possibly make it out alive..." Ruby finished her sentence for her.

"Or we die horrible deaths, good point. Try to throw up through the window if it works too. We don't need the car to smell like expired tuna." The second car was only a short distance from them when Ruby aimed at the ground in front of it. The car screeched as its tires slowed the car right in front of Ruby as Blake disappeared from Ruby's sides only to appear in the passenger's seat where she pushed the driver through his door. "I'm driv-"

"Ruby Rose you get in the backseats with me this instant, Weiss is driving." Ruby pouted but quickly opened the car's back door and sighed when Weiss pushed the pedal and drove away.

"I can't believe it worked. I mean we're still getting pursued but, that's not everyday you can escape from Atlas's military." Weiss said as she tried not to think about her green-turning teammate on her right.

"Hey Ruby, didn't that guy look familiar?" Ruby thought about Yang's question before shaking her head.

"I don't know, I kinda looked away, I didn't want to feel too guilty about stealing their car? Why do you ask?"

"... You know what? It's better you don't know."

 

 

Left behind, the man slowly stood up before replacing his spectacles on his nose as he looked in the direction where his car, now stolen left.

'Did Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long, Blake Belladonna and Weiss Schnee just steal my car? Did Port put drugs in my hot cocoa?' The headmaster thought as he heard the sound of someone throwing up in the distance.

Notes:

Okay so, it took me like, what? Only a full year and a month for me to post a new chapter? And to be honest I was already halfway done writing this chapter the day after I posted the 3rd chapter. So yeah, I really fucked it up. All that to say that, unfortunately, yes, I will not write anymore chapters for this story and it is discontinued...That is until I find the will to keep writing it. I really wrote myself into a corner, I got too ambitious and have no idea what to write next that can drive the story forward.
I also have other stories that I wanna write, stories which, again, I will probably ditch after two chapters. I really suck a writing but I can't help myself, I'll have an idea, start writing, then either I'll get bored or I'll don't know what to write next. Anyway, sorry for the four people who liked this fic and hoped for more chapters, but let's be honest... I said four but you're probably only two people, I just wanted to seem cooler.
Anyway, thank you for all the people who have read and will read this fic, I just hope that you found it at least time-passing worthy, have a good day.
