RWBY:Fangs of Bone

Attack on Beacon

"I can't believe that the first semester is already almost over. It's gone by way too fast." I say in hopes of starting a conversation. My team ignores me. "Fine then." I say, turning back to my laptop and scroll. "See if you get help studying again." I continue tweaking my calculation, because if I get this right, I can finally fix my setup and make some modifications to my weapon. After the 42nd try, I get a hit. I plug my laptop into the lab, and the scroll into the laptop. I press the begin button on the screen, and suddenly, there's an extremely loud noise and an eerie black light. I look through it once the light dies down, and see a large, empty room. "YES!" I yell, ecstatic that I got it right. And of course, with my luck, it blinks out. "No No no no NO! I have to get this back up!" My hands are flying over the keyboard when a beeping alarm cuts me short. I quickly finish what I was typing, and then pull up the alarm on my lab screen. I check the camera feeds and find some of Ironwood's mechs advancing on the entrance. I run downstairs, pulling out my katana, and run into Glynda Goodwitch. "What is the meaning of this?" She exclaims loudly. I send her the feed from my scroll and keep running. I bust through the doors, my team close behind. The second we get outside, the mechs start firing at us. I dash at the first one, pulsing my blade and cutting it in half. Maddie and Parker start cutting through some of them, Joey flings cards at them and causes lots of explosions. Once we destroy all of them, I jump back as I get another alert. The rest of my team stands there, dumbstruck, as a massive mechsuit drops from the sky, nearly landing on them and launching them back. "Ironwood has a few tricks up his sleeve." I yell back to Maddie and Parker. I quickly draw a few runes on the stones, and then it shoots me. I get launched back, but my runes activate and explode in a massive cloud of electricity and ice. "Keep it intact!" I bark at my team. "I want to figure out what makes this thing tick!" Maddie flips her daggers into pistols, and Parker turns his blades into the rocket launcher. Acting as one, the fire while me and Joey sprint at the mechsuit, and I jump and sink my katana into the shoulder of the mech, just as the rockets, bullets, and cards hit the arm, tearing it off. I signal Maddie and Parker to go for the cockpit, but they're way ahead of me. After the rockets hit, I stab directly through the reinforced steel and glass, and when I pull out my blade, there's a broken transmitter at the end. Suddenly, the mech falls to the ground. I set my scroll to stream video and audio to professor Ozpin. I set about methodically shredding the suit, and once I find the power source, a nasty look settles over my face. "Please get me a direct link to Mr. Ironwood, Professor." I say menacingly. "Done." He replies. I sprint up to Ozpin's office, cradling the power source in my arms. Once I get inside, Mr. Ironwood asks if he can help me. "Yes. You can" I reply quickly. "Tell me, exactly,how you got this reactor, and precisely who gave it to you." "I bought it from a store here. Simple as that. As for who, how am I supposed to know every clerks name here?" He says clearly and steadily. "Alright then. Your story checks out, except for one minor little thing." "And that is?" "This particular engine is my own design. I built it, I had the idea for it, and I patented this. So, how the HELL did you get this in your mech?" "Like I said, it was in the store! Now stop wasting my time." He said, irritated. "Again, one thing wrong. I never released this reactor to the public. I never showed anyone but three people. Two of them are here now. The third is still in the White Fang. I know Parker and Maddie have not betrayed me, meaning you have contacts in the White Fang. Adam Taurus, particularly. Which leads me to believe you are secretly in league with him and the White Fang, he gave you my patented idea, which was patented when I told him about it, so there are no loopholes you can use, and now you're trying to kill me to steal the credit for my invention." I rattled off. "Look. I can explain!" "No. You can't. Goodbye." I terminate the call.
