Stealing from the Elderly
3rd Person POV
At Darkmount....
Shockwave: I present to you, my Liege. The Ultimate Autobot Hunter.
Loud, heavy footsteps are heard as a monstrous figure walks through the Space Bridge portal. It dwarfs all the Decepticons around it and roars as it flares it's wings.
Starscream: A-A Predacon. But, they've been extinct since the beginning of Cybertronian history.
Shockwave: Indeed, but the speciman you see before you was bred in a labratory. Cloned from fossilized remains, which I discovered on Cybertron.
Megatron: Shockwave, it does my Spark good to see you, once again, tampering with creation. *approaches*
Starscream: Master! Keep your distance.
Shockwave: No need for alarm. The beast is completely under my control.
Megatron: *stares at Predacon* Ah, such primal magnificence.
Shockwave: A sample of Energon, spilled during the Autobot's failed interrogation.
Shockwave shows the sample to the Predacon, which it scans and growls.
Megatron: Let the hunt, begin.
The Predacon flaps it's wings and takes to the skies in search of it's prey.
Back in Argus, the plan to steal an Atlas airship goes into action the next day. Weiss, with Snarl and Swoop in tow, is escorted by Saphron, carrying Adrian, to the Atlas military base. Weiss managed to talk past the gate, and now Cordovin is escorting her to an airship.
Cordovin: Ah, I was relieved to hear that you came to your senses, Miss Schnee. Many of us were devestated when we heard you would be attending... *with disdain* Beacon Academy. Knowing you'll be returning to Atlas just warms my old heart.
Weiss: *pretending* It was... time to get my act together and return to my roots.
Cordovin: Oh, I can't wait to see you follow in your sisters footsteps. But, uh, about these children you demanded to take with you?
Weiss: They were kidnapped and used in illegal experimentation when I found them, I wanted to give them a better life in Atlas.
Cordovin: I, suppose, I can understand that, they'll be far safer in Atlas than anywhere else.
Swoop: *pretending* Thank you for letting us stay with Miss Schnee, Ma'am.
Snarl: *after being elbowed by Swoop* Yes, thank you for your understanding.
Cordovin: With manners like that, I'm sure they'll fit right in. Here we are, the airship is fueled up and ready to get you to Atlas.
Nubuck Guard 1: Allow me to assist you with your bags, Miss Schnee. *hups over and attempts to pick up bag* My what a heavy bag.
Weiss: Oh that's alright, my boys can get everything aboard.
Snarl: Yeah, I've got it. *easily picks up bag and walks aboard*
Nubuck Guard 1: Apologies if I overstepped.
Weiss: It's all okay now.
Snarl set the bag down when a voice is heard inside it.
Maria: *muffled* Heavy! I'll show you heavy I'm all muscle.
Snarl: *hits bag* *hushed* Shut up or you'll blow our cover.
Nubuck Guard 2: If the rest of you will board and take your seats we'll get airborne.
Weiss: Very well, boys please take a seat and buckle up.
Swoop: Yes, Miss Schnee.
Weiss makes sure her children are strapped in, then takes a seat herself and buckles up as the airship takes off.
Elsewhere, on a cliff outside Argus, Ruby, Team JNPR, Qrow, Arcee, Jack, Oscar and the remaining Dinobots are gathered, Ruby checks her scroll as Weiss' scroll signal gets weaker.
Ruby: *calls over comm* Alright, the second Weiss is out of range of scroll signal, that means she'll be out of range of the radar too.
Yang: *over comms* That's when Blake steps in. We're almost at the drop off.
Elsewhere, Yang and Blake are riding on Bumblebee, Yang's motorcycle not the transformer, oh my goodness, that's gonna be confusing. Anyways, they're riding towards the radar tower and stop a little ways away.
Yang: *as Blake dismounts* You sure I shouldn't come with?
Blake: More people means we're more likely to get discovered. Besides, stealth really isn't your- *Yang crosses her arms* I mean, your great.
Yang: *chuckles* Go. Before I change my mind.
Blake: *calls over comm* Approaching the tower, I shouldn't be long.
Back at the cliffside,
Jaune: Yes! *sees everyone's surprise* I mean, good work, let us know if you run into trouble.
Ruby playfully rolls her eyes. Back on the airship, Weiss looks at her scroll until she's out of cell range, she then turns her head and nods at her sons. The two get out of their seats, and while Swoop grabs a parachute, Snarl walks up to the Nubuck Guards.
Nubuck Guard 1: Kid, please return to you seat we're not yet at cruising altitude.
Snarl: There's been a change of plans.
Snarl grabs both Guards and slams their heads together, drags them out of the cockpit while Weiss let's Maria out of her luggage, Swoop then ties both Guards to the single parachute and Snarl tosses them overboard.
Snarl: Damn, I've been waiting to do that.
Weiss: *to Maria* And you're sure you can fly this thing?
Maria: Missy, I was the Grimm Reaper! What part of "best Huntress of her generation" didn't you understand?
Snarl: The part where you're older than dirt.
Weiss: It's just, your eyes.
Maria chuckles as she plugs her eyes into the sensor array system.
Maria: You were saying?
Weiss: That they needed repair.
Maria: *holds a finger up to Weiss* Bup, bup, bup.
Weiss: But-
Maria: Bup.
Weiss relents and tells her sons to fasten their seatbelts.
Back on the ground, Ruby waits for Weiss' signal to disappear.
Ruby: Alright guys, this is it. *calls over comms* Blake, you're up.
No response.
Ruby: Blake?
Ruby looks at everyone with worry.
Yang sits next to her bike.
Ruby: Yang, what's going on?
Yang: *stands* I don't know...
Yang looks at her scroll as Weiss' signal starts returning.
Back on the airship, the ship is contacted by the military base.
Terminal soldier: Manta 5-1, this Argus base. We see you circled back, what is your status? Over.
Weiss: Why can they see us?
Maria: Someone dropped the ball. Let me try, I've learned Atlas jargon over the years. *clears throat before speaking through radio* Argus Base, this is Manta 5-1. Thought we were going to scrub due to FOD, but we're back up. Green across the board.
*Static*
Terminal Soldier: Manta 5-1, return to base or you will be treated as hostile.
Weiss: I thought you said you knew jargon?
Terminal Soldier: Jargon was fine, but our pilots aren't old women.
Maria: Well, he got me there. Why would you kids let me drive this thing?
Cordovin: Calavera! You and those children are up to something aren't you?!
At the Argus Base....
Cordovin: You thought you could undermine my authority?! If you don't return my ship this INSTANT! I will make an example out of you. I will show you the full might of the Atlesian military!
Crunching is then heard over the radio.
Back on the airship, Maria is seen eating a bag of peanuts.
Maria: You hear that? That's the sound of me not caring?! *manic laughter*
Swoop: Boss, this is bad! Cordo is onto us and the old hag isn't helping!
Weiss: Why is the radar still up?!
Back on the ground...
Grimlock: What now, Mom?
Ruby: I don't know, Blake isn't responding.
Yang: Keep the ship in one piece, guys.
Nora: Maybe we should fly over and help Yang and Blake?
Qrow: Cordo's gonna scramble her fighters. We've got maybe ninety seconds before they're in the air. This is all my fault....
Jaune: What? Your Semblance?
Qrow: Every decision I've made has led us here. I should never have let you guys come, what was I thinking-
Grimlock suddenly punches Qrow.
Grimlock: Get it into your head, old man! We here cause we want to be!
Ruby: He's right. We're all in this together, and we'ee going to do the best we can. Grimlock, get ready for a fight.
Grimlock: Dinobots, Transform!
Qrow: *impressed* Wow, how did you all grow up so fast?
Ruby: We had good role models.
Weiss: Guys. She's not sending fighters....
The whole group look at the Argus Base as the mountain retracts to reveal a massive mech that overlooks the city.
Cordovin: Clearly, the people have forgotten that they live in peace because of the might of the Atlesian Military.
Weiss: Is Cordovin.... piloting that?
Cordovin: Consider this a reminder.
The mech aims and fires it's arm cannon at the airship our heroes are on and it shocks the controls.
Weiss: Are you okay?!
Maria: I am, but she's completely lost her mind!
Cordovin: And that was merely a warning shot. All Atlas personnel remain standby, and watch how your leader maintains order.
Back with the bulk of the group, Ruby and the others see Weiss and Maria fly in, with Cordovin in her mech close behind them.
Cordovin: It's time you asked yourselves, do you truly wish to defy me?
Ruby: Weiss, bring you and your boys down, we're gonna need you if we're gonna take this thing down.
Slag: Ah, music to my ears.
Back at the relay tower, Blake's scroll is seen on the ground.
Weiss: *static* Why is the radar still up?
Ruby: *static* I don't know Blake isn't responding.
Someone steps on it as they run. Blake is seen running behind cover. She looks beside her, only to find the motionless body of an Atlas Soldier. She reels back in horror. Blake is forced to take cover again, as a ginshot is heard. She looks at the floor below her, and Adam Taurus is seen sheathing his blade. He has discarded his Grimm mask and only wears a black blindfold to cover his eyes.
Adam: It's nice to finally have some time to ourselves. Don't you think?
Blake: Leave me alone!
Blake shoots her pistol, only for Adam to block each one.
Adam: But I've waited so long for you to be away from them.
Blake tries to ride down a cable to the ground, but Adam cuts the cable with his Semblance, causing Blake to land on the same platform he's on. The two procedd to clash blades, until Blake kicks him back a distance.
Adam: Why did you have to come into my life and ruin it?
Blake: You stalked me across Anima! I want nothing to do with you!
The two clash blades again and end up in the forest outside the station. Blake then loses her coat to avoid one of Adam's strikes, then shoots at him and the two stare at each other again.
Blake: Just let it go, Adam. Do it for yourself.
Adam: Is that what you did to me? Just threw all our memories away?!
Blake: Adam!
Adam: I let you go once. I won't make that mistake again.
The two take defensive positions and ready for the fight of their lives.
(A/N): Alright, CUT! Great start so far. Get some rest and we'll get back to it tomorrow.
Hope you all enjoyed, have a great day/night and I'll see you all again next time. PEACE OUT!!!
