Hidden agenda: Part 1

Hey, everyone. Sorry for being absent for this story. Let's hope this chapter can re-spark this story once more. Also heads up, youll get new items of my choice throughout the story..

[No One's POV]
Penny briefly explained to ruby and y/n of being an android. As they were shocked by her true appearance, she continued to speak..

Penny: Most girls are born, but I was made. I'm the world's first synthetic person capable of generating an Aura. I'm not real...

Ruby takes Penny's hands in her own. She opens them to reveal the scratches, before closing Penny's finger together.

Ruby:  Of course you are. You think just because you've got nuts and bolts instead of squishy guts makes you any less real than me?

Penny: I don't... um... You're... taking this extraordinarily well.

Y/n: You're not like those things we saw back there. You've got a heart, and a soul; I can feel it!

Ruby: i do too..

Penny: Ooohh... oh Ruby.ytn. You're the bestest friends anyone could have!

She grabs Ruby and y/n into a hug and shakes her back and forth, prompting her to give a muffled groaning. 

Y/n: I can see why your father would want to protect such a delicate flower!

She releases her hold from the Rose siblings, as she fully goes back to her happy self.

Penny: Oh, he's very sweet! My father's the one that built me! I'm sure you would love him!

Ruby: Wow... He built you all by himself?

Penny: Well, almost! He had some help from Mr. Ironwood
Ruby: The General?! and even Sky?!

Penny: Yes! Although, Mr. Frostydia didn't exactly built me. He was the one who designed my Aura-Generating core, and the weapons I use.

Ruby: Whoa. Wait... Is that why those soldiers were after you?

Penny: They like to protect me, too!

Ruby scoffs as she gives Penny an unconvinced look.

Ruby: They don't think you can protect yourself?

Penny: They're not sure if I'm ready yet... One day, it will be my job to save the world, but I still have a lot left to learn. That's why my father let me come to the Vytal Festival. I want to see what it's like in the rest of the world, and test myself in the Tournament.

Ruby: Penny, what are you talking about? Save the world from what? We're in a time of peace!

Hearing her statement, Penny tilts her head in confusion.

Penny: That's not what Mr. Ironwood said...

Soldier 1: Check down here!

Penny then grabs Ruby by the shoulders.

Penny: You two have to hide!

Then suddenly, she lifted the red-hooded girl above her head, without much effort. She tries to grab y/n, but he sidesteps from her grip.

Y/n: I can hide myself.

Y/n then took out a weird mask and placed it on his head, before going invisible..

(You wearing this)

Ruby was shocked for one, before she struggles and screams as she is carried toward the dumpster.

Ruby: Penny, wait! What are you doing? You don't have to go with them! I can help you!

Despite the plead, Penny throws Ruby inside the dumpster and lifts the lid so she can still talk to her.

Penny: It's okay, Ruby. They're not bad people; I just don't want to get you in trouble. Just promise me you won't tell anyone else my secret. Okay? 

Emphasizing her last words, she gravely stares at Ruby.

Ruby: I promise.

With that, Ruby lowers her head into the garbage as the lid is put down, but she lifts it a little to peek at the scene outside.

Soldier 1: There she is!

Penny: Sal-u-tations, officers!

Soldier 1: Why were you running? And what happened to the other girl?

Penny: What girl? I've been by myself all day!

With her lying again, she hiccups loudly, then smiles as if it was a natural thing for her in the world.

Soldier 1: You shouldn't cause such a scene.

Soldier 2: Are you okay?

Penny:  Just a scratch.

She gives effect to her words by showing her "injured" palms.

Soldier 1: Penny, your father isn't going to be happy about this.

Soldier 2: Please, just come with us.

Penny: Yes, sir!

Penny and the soldiers are heard walking away as Ruby looks on in sadness...That is until a rat suddenly screeches from below her feet inside the dumpster, causing the young Huntress-in-Traning to fall and close the lid on herself.
Y/n took

Y/n: Are you feeling ok?

Ruby: I guess..

Y/n: Do you need to be alone?

Ruby: *nods*

Y/n: Ok. *ruffles her hair* looks Ill call you if i need you.

Y/n then took to the skies, leaving ruby to her thoughts..

Ruby: Penny..i wish i can help more.

[With Yang and Neptune]
Evening has already arrived in the ruined parts of Vale. The sound of an engine gets closer and closer until Yang  pulls her respective motorcycle into the street and stops short. Yang takes off the helmet she is wearing, while talking to Neptune behind her as she gestures with her thumb to the music playing nearby.

Yang: Come on, our friend's right in here!

She gets off the bike to reveal Neptune sitting right behind her, hair and goggles messed up with a petrified expression of terror on his face.

Neptune: Cool...

He suddenly shakes his head, somehow perfectly fixing his appearance, and gets off the cycle, and begins looking around worriedly.

Neptune: And where exactly is... here?

Yang gets off her bike as well as she removes the helmet off of her head. She straightens out her hair as she answers Neptune's question with a smirk.

Yang: You're about to find out.

Neptune followed Yang from behind as they both approached the doors. In front of the doors were to of Junior's henchmen. When they took a glimpse of Yang coming in closely, they instantly panicked as they hurriedly closed the doors..

Neptune: Huh, are they closing?

Yang ignores the blue-haired boy as she turns her head towards the door. She laughs evilly as she activates her shotgun gauntlets.

Meanwhile inside the club, the two Henchmen proceed to roll the doors shut and keep them closed with the use of their bodies. This confuses Junior as begins walking out from the bar.

Junior: What are you two idiots doing?!

The Henchmen shout incoherently until an explosion knocks them to the ground and forces the doors open, allowing a familiar face to walk in through the smoke as familiar song starts playing.

Yang: Guess who's back!

Yang continues to smile and pose as eight guns are pointed towards her face with an equal number of angry Henchmen behind them. Though this doesn't faze them, they stop and glare at the recording studio where the track is messing up until the frightened bear-headed DJ takes the needle off the record and retreats back under the table. Just then, Neptune appears behind yang as the Henchmen continue hoisting their guns.

Neptune: Yeah, so could you define "friend" for me?

Junior: Stop, stop! Nobody shoot.

Junior cuts his way through the crowd of goons, as he straightens his tie.

Junior: Blondie, you're here! Uh...why?

Yang: You still owe me a drink. 

Yang then grab Junior by his collar and begin dragging him to the bar through the hired guns.

Neptune: Whoa-ho-ho-ho, what a woman... 

He breaks from his lovestruck staring to see the Malachite twins standing beside him.

Neptune: 'Sup?

By they both ignored his greeting with a harrumph as they walk away, their noses in the air.

Melanie and Miltia: Whatever.

[With Sun and Blake]
Meanwhile, Blake, and Sun were in the other part of town with the cat Faunus leading the way. As their progress came to a stop, Blake's fingers trace three scratch marks on a wall before peeking around its corner and seeing a pair of horned Faunus as they are ushered into a building by a bearded man. Realizing they made it to the location, she turns to Sun who is next to her.

Blake: This is it.

Sun: Are you sure?

Blake glares at him and starts moving towards the entrance while unfastening her bow

Sun: Y'know, I'm just gonna take your word for it.

The three walk inside the building to a hallway filled with cases, seeing another man announcing "New recruits, keep to the right!"

Sun: I don't get it..*holds out the half-grimm mask in his hand* If you believe what you're doing is right, why hide who you are?

Blake:..The masks are a symbol. Humanity wanted to make monsters out of us, so we chose to don the faces of monsters.

Sun: Grimm masks... That's kind of dark.

Blake: So was the guy who started it.

The cat Faunus grimaced upon the memory before she puts her mask on and walks on. She couldn't forget the changes that happened in the White Fang when he took over.

Sun: Always sunshine and rainbows with you...*places mask on and follows her*

The new recruits of the White Fang were moving in a line to the side of the stage, a mere few dozen compared to the hundreds of white-vested, black-hooded soldiers to their left and up above in the balconies. Blake, Cody Sun look around themselves when they stop, and a fully-masked man with tattoos standing starts speaking before the large sheet emblazoned with the bloody wolf and claw marks.

White Fang grunt: Thank you all for coming. For those of you who are joining us for the first time tonight, allow me to introduce two very special comrades of ours! I can assure you, they are the key to obtaining what we have fought for so long.

The sound of footsteps approach the crowd before it revealed Roman and his cane that taps on the stage. lot's of the crowd were jeering at him..

Roman: *mockingly waves* Thank you, Thank you..

As he starts to speak, a girl walks out from behind the sheet. Her hair was a trio of colors as well was her outfit. Half of her hair was pink, the other half was brown while a white streak ran through her pink hair. One of her eyes were brown while the other was pink as well. She wore a white jacket with a pink interior, brown pants and gray boots with very high heels. Under her jacket she wore a black corset, curved in the middle of the bottom, exposing her sides. She also wore a multitude of necklaces..

Roman: *cackles* Please, hold your applause!

Antler Faunus: What's a human doing here?!

Roman: I'm glad you asked, "Deerie"! Now, I'll be the first to admit, Humans... are the worst. Case in point. So, I understand why you would like to see us all locked away, or, better yet, killed!

Sun: So, is he going somewhere with this?

Roman: But, before the claws come out, I'd like to mention the fact that you and I all have a common enemy: the ones in control, the people pulling the strings, the dirty, rotten humans that run our kingdoms! Government, military, even the schools: they're all to blame for your lot in life! And they're all pests that need to be dealt with! Fortunately, I'm the best exterminator around... No offense to any rodents in the room.

Hearing the their words, they all roared in agreement. With a snap of his fingers, the curtain falls, and the whole mass of Faunus applaud at the sight of the Atlesian Paladin-290 behind it, the mark of the White Fang painted on its shoulder..

Sun: *studders* Whoa, that's a big robot…"

Blake: How did they get that?"

Roman: As some of you might have heard, this right here..*taps the giant mech with his cane*..is Atlas' newest defense against all the scary things in the world. And thanks to my 'employer', we've managed to snag a few before they, uh, 'hit the shelves'.
Now, many of your comrades have already moved down to our new operation in the southeast. If you'd rather stay within the city, that fine... But if you're truly ready to fight for what you believe in, this is the arsenal that the criminal here can provide you. Show the humans what you can do. Don't just show them, show the whole world what you Faunus are capable of." He glance a look at the recruits. "Any questions?

The White Fang's and the crowds roaring applause tells him the answer.

Blake: We should get out of here.

White Fang Lieutenant: Will all new recruits, please come forward!

Sun: *As the line surges forward with the two having to follow* Welp!

[Back at the Club]
Junior puts down his glass as he sits behind the bar separating him from his interrogators. Well, Yang is anyway.

Junior: I don't know!

Yang: How can you not know?

Junior: I haven't talked to him! I haven't even seen him since the night you first came in here. *Leans over to point in Yang's face* He paid up front, I lent him my men, and none of them ever. Came. Back.

Neptune suddenly rushes to Yang's side to raise a question of his own.

Neptune: So where did they go?

Junior: What kind of stupid question is that? They never came back! Who is this guy?

Yang: Don't worry about him. Worry about me, if I don't find out what I want!

Junior: I already told you everything! Torchwick hired my boys, and I guess he wasn't happy with them, which is something I can relate to! 

He shouts this at his own men, who grumble and walk away in response.

Yang: Come on, Neptune. 

Yang and Neptune then turn from the bar and walk away.

Neptune: We get everything we need?

Yang: Well, we got everything we can. Hopefully the rest of us are having better luck

[With Sun and Blake]
The White Fang is still cheering loudly as the recruits are marched to the stage, with Blake and Sun having no choice but to follow along.

Sun: *Whispering to Blake* What are we going to do?!

Blake: Don't worry, Sun. I'm thinking...

Sun: *Watching Roman lean on the robot smoking his cigar and laughing with the girl beside him before he zeroes in on the two, frowning* He sees us... *Tries to smile and wave*

Blake: *Noticing the junction box on the wall* He can't see in the dark.

With that, Blake unsheathes Gambol Shroud, transforms it into a pistol, and shoots at the box, making the lights go out for the whole building and turning the whole scene go dark.

Roman: Don't let them get away!

Blake: Sun! *points at open window* The window!

White fang grunt: Stop them!

Before the two student Huntsmen crash through the window and start running as fast as they can, the mechanized sound of running power signals the Atlesian Paladin's activation, and it crashes through the wall of the building in pursuit of the runaways, who leap off of a car and manage to get on the roofs. The Paladin follows beside them on the street as Blake and Sun run, jump, and flip from rooftop to rooftop.

Sun: . So you wouldn't happen to have... oh, I don't know... some form of backup?!

Blake: On it!

She grabs her Scroll and puts it to her ear as she continues to jump.

[Everyone's POV]
Y/n: So..did you guys find anything?

I was speaking throughout my scroll to my teammates..

Kyle: I checked the police station and chatted with the Chief, but he didnt know anything.

Jade: I asked people who were victims to white fang robberies, and said they dont know.

John: It's the same for me. No one is telling me shit.

Y/n: *sighs* Alright. But sta-

Blake: Everyone! If you can hear me, we need back-

Sun: HEEEELLLLP!

Y/n: Ahh! What the hell's going on?! What happened with Torchwick?

Sun: They got a big robot! And it's big! Really big!

Weiss listened to the message from sun and blake and scoffed, before heading their way. Yang is back on the motorcycle in her helmet and sunglasses with Neptune looking at the Scroll in her hand over her shoulder.

Neptune: *blinks frombwhat sun said* What is he talking about?

Sun: That Torchwick guy is in it! But not, like, it didn't eat him; he's, like, controlling it or something!

Yang: Where are you guys now?

Their questions were answered when Sun, and Blake were being chased by an Atlesian Paladin, hot on their heels before they all disappear from view.

Sun: HURRYYYY!!!

You: Doesn't exactly answers the question, Sun!

John: I just saw them heading towards the highway! You can't miss it.

Y/n: Let's move, everyone!

All: Right!

Everyone soon got on their mives where Roman is. Hopefully, not too much damage could happen to civilians..

I'm stopping here for this part. Hope you like the chapter.
