(A/n: Took me awhile but here it with  5784 words. ENJOY)

Vale streets, *3rd person Pov

Ruby and Penny was walking down the streets of vale talking about what happed at the dock.

"I wish I could help you, Ruby, but I don't know anything about those men." She said

"Well, what happened to you that night? We were all together, and then you just disappeared! Were you kidnapped? Ruby asked for she had so many questions that need to answer.

"Oh, no! Nothing like that!" She replied.

"Then where did you go? Ruby asked as she replied by saying she never been to another kingdom before and that her father asked her not to venture out too far.

"But... You must understand, my father loves me very much; he just worries a lot." Penny added.

"Believe me, I know the feeling...But why not let us know you were okay?." Ruby asked.

"I... was asked not to talk to you. Or Weiss. Or Blake. Or Yang. Anybody, really." Penny replied

"Was your dad that upset?" She asked.

"No, it wasn't my father...

Before she can continue, she and Ruby hear the sound of megaphones announcing something, turning around the corner to look at the platform in the center of a plaza where the holographic image of James Ironwood is seen before six AK-130 Androids, who are in turn standing in front of two large metal storage cases with the spear-and-shield emblem on their doors.

"The AK-130 has been a standard security model of for several years, and they have done a fine job. Wouldn't you agree? Wouldn't you agree? He asked as the clapping of the gathered audience causes the drones to take a jerky bow.

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

"Smarter, sleeker, and admittedly, a little less scary... These models will become active later this year, but they won't be alone! Now, the Atlesian Military has always supported the idea of removing men from the dangers of the battlefield. However, there are still many situations that will undoubtedly require... a human touch.

"Huh a bunch of clankers if you ask me?" Said Terrice who was sitting on a bench nearby as he was watching the reviling of the mechs.

"Terrice what are you doing here?" Ruby asked as he turned to look at them.

"Just enjoying a nice day, plus I heard there were a reviling something, so I just had to see what all the fuss was about." He replied.

"What are clankers?" Ruby asked Terrice.

"Clankers are what we called the battle droids that we fought against back in our galaxy because they always make a clanking sound every time they took a step." Terrice explained how they were created to be far superior to the droids in every way possible.

The three of them looked back to the stage as Ironwood continue to speak.

"So, our kingdom's greatest minds, in cooperation with the Schnee Dust Company, are proud to introduce... the Atlesian Paladin!

Ironwood's image is replaced with the hologram of a robotic white behemoth, featuring hinged piston legs, large guns for hands, and a rectangular head, standing at least twice as tall as the Knights below it. Ironwoods voice was only head
