Ch14: Dive

SPECAL OPRATR and STRQ are on a bullhead heading towards the last location of a sunken Atlas submarine. Alpha briefs on the mission: "Listen up, we have intel of an informant inside of a recently missing sub. We get this bastard out, we'll be back on land and alive. Standby". The pilot stops on the spot where the Teams get ready to dive in the ocean.

Golf: Hey, if we get the informant, do we use one of the teleporters?

Alpha: Well, it works with Radio frequencies to communicate so I don't see why not but...

Charlie: We have to bring the Informant back to the surface and any other survivors using the sub.

Delta: I thought we go with the sub, not this.

Kilo: The Sub was a bit late to the party.

They all nodded and Bravo opens the hatch. Summer and Raven have a bit of a chat about their boys.

Summer: I'm so proud of them.

Raven: You're not the only one. Our boys, all grown up and do all of these crazy missions. They seem to be capable.

Summer: They are. Ruby and Yang told me about what happened to them.

Raven: *cringe* that's gotta hurt.

Summer: Let's be glad that they are safe and A-Okay!

Raven nodded with both she and Summer putting on the breathing apparatus and customize diving suits.

Back at Beacon, The students are seated inside the auditorium. Ozpin announce a video to show the students what missions would be like as a Future Huntsman/ Huntress.

Alpha: Team, gear up and prep to move out.

Everyone putting on their diving gear.

Summer: Owen, you sure you know what you're doing?

Alpha: Please, mom, we've been on crazier operations than this...

Charlie: And this is one of them!

Alpha: All teams... Fallout.

Everyone jump out of the Bullhead and do a few acrobatics before diving into the depths. They swam deeper and deeper into the abyss. They encountered many Grimm, but they weren't as hostile as the ones on land. Some are even curious of the Team.

Back at Beacon, The worrying faces of Rwby and Pyrrha have began to show amongst each other. They clench onto their seats, cloths and anything as they worry for their brothers' own safety. Pyrrha clench onto Jaune, whom the leader of JNPR reassures her that her Brother, Bravo, will be okay in the mission.

Kilo spots the Sub, with the big thing resting on the rocks of the underwater canyon. India find the hatch and, together with Echo, Foxtrot, and Juliette, opens the door. Everyone entered into the sub, two at a time. Eventually, the team manages to get in the sub, with the students back at Beacon staring for anticipation.

Golf spotted a dead body near the control room. Summer nearly puke, but manages to held onto it; that can't be said for some of the people at Beacon with the body, in question, being stab at the back. Lima and Bravo entered the control room with the rest following behind, training their guns at any potential targets. There were none. All they see were just bodies.

Alpha: This can't be right.

Golf: The informant said that they were trapped here [Tapped a dead body with her foot] But I guess it meant somewhere else.

Tai: Son, We're getting nowhere. The informant has to be here.

Alpha: [Looks at Tai] What are you suggesting?

Tai: I'm suggesting that we split and find the informant or get anything out of this sub.

The sub began to shake a bit. Everyone stumbles, but manages to stay on their feet.

Hotel: The Sub's on a very unstable ledge. We need to keep the our balance.

Charlie: Agreed. Say, why don't the CQ specialist go and find the info.

Qrow: But, who are the CQ specialist?

India: Obviously, he meant Juliette, Foxtrot, Echo and I.

Qrow: Why are we even here to begin with?

Charlie: You came, because you care about us. Also, stick to swords, Scythes are a little cumbersome in tight spaces.

Summer: That means I'm staying!

Alpha: Alright mum. [Look to Lima and Bravo] You two?

Bravo: [Looks at Lima] I'm staying and...

Lima: I too.

Alpha: [Look to Raven] Mom?

Raven: I'm coming, but you're be coming with me, mister.

Alpha: Okay? [Look to Golf] Golf?

Golf: I'm coming. [Look to Tai] What about you, mister?

Tai: I guess. Besides, I don't want anything to happen to my pretty little Raven~.

Raven: Tai, oh you!

Alpha: Let's go.

Bravo: Good hunting.

Alpha, Golf, Tai, Raven, Echo, India, Foxtrot and Juliette remove themselves from the control room to explore the ship.

Charlie: What now?

Hotel: I'm guessing, since Alpha go with them, we needed to start looking for clues.

Charlie: Since when you're in-charge?

Hotel: Just feel like it.

Summer: [Hugs Charlie] I'm so proud of you!

Charlie: Thanks. I better hope no one is watching us.

Qrow: Oh don't worry, there is absolutely no one to watch this.

Charlie:... Really?

Qrow: Okay, I lied a bit. But hey, at least your sisters know that you're fine and they are still kicking.

Charlie: That's what matters most... to an extent.

Bravo: Hey, you looking for info or what?!

Charlie: Alright "Big man", try not to get too sentimental.

Everyone chuckles in the room with them began searching for information of the gas attacks.

Meanwhile, the other group wanders through the hallways and dead bodies. "Man, How many people are in this place", Foxtrot questions as he remark on the amount of bodies that are within this sub. Echo answer to his brother, "Subs of this size usually consisted a crew of at least 200". That shocked him quite a bit, thought it could be because of the shear size that caught him of guard.

They reached the first room to their left and check the corners till they were certain the place is clear. No fewer than bodies of 13 were in the room.

Alpha: Alright [Walk to a Monitor] Find what you can. Echo, India, guard the door.

E and I: Yes sir. [Walk to the door]

Foxtrot: Alpha, you think a Terrorist might be here?

Alpha: Hard to tell, but it seems like both WF and HF, if any, were here to begin with.

Juliette: I thought we destroyed them, the White Fang.

Foxtrot: We destroyed their HQ. It would take months for them to establish a new one and make a counter-attack...

Golf:... And during these times, we can stop them. We support their cause, no doubt, but they are extremists.

Everyone nodded their heads and keep searching for any info in the room.

Back at the control room, everyone kept searching for info. Hotel began to notice something strange on the bodies.

Hotel: Hey Charlie! Come over here!

Charlie: [Walk over to Hotel] Anything?

Hotel: Look [Point to the corpse's neck]

The corpse have a black and white blob stuck onto the neck, where it connects to the spine.

Charlie: The hell is it?

Hotel: Must be a new species of Grimm. I think we should secure it?

Charlie: Hmm. [Look over] Uncle Qrow!

Qrow: Yo.

Charlie: Come here for a sec.

Qrow: [Walked to Charlie and Hotel] What do ya need?

Charlie point to Qrow the blob and Qrow takes a glance at it. It didn't take long for Qrow to confirm them that is a Grimm.

Charlie: Thanks. [Pressing a mic button]{ Charlie to Alpha, be advise there are traces of Grimm on board the sub, I repeat there are traces of Grimm on board.}

Alpha: {Copy that, Charlie. Alpha out.}

Charlie: {Rodge} We need to be careful.

Everyone nods their head and continue to search for more information.

With the second group...

Echo: Really? Ah Hell.

Alpha: Whatever these Grimms are, it's best we keep our necks to ourselves.

While they were talking amongst each other, Tai and Raven have a small talk with each other.

Tai: Look, I know what we have done with the boys and right now, I'm kinda mixed.

Raven: *scoffs* Maybe if weren't so heartless to the boys, then we could have been a better family!

Tai: We can still change!

Raven: And that "we", you meant you can still change, if you could.

Their bantering become louder and louder, which brought the attention of the Operators.

Alpha: *coughs* If you two are done bantering, we'll be clearing the other rooms.

Raven: Right.

Alpha and other ops walk to the next couple of rooms, with Raven and Tai trailing behind.

They began to notice something off with the interior of the ship. The deeper they went into the vessel, the more biomass that is starting to form. The bodies began to increase more and more, all seems to be pointing that something is happening to the crew. The atmosphere can be described as a horror movie or game, with blood, guts and bodies absolutely everywhere.

They reach the reactor room to see a massive blob of bodies, oozing blood and a grotesque face.

Blob: Plêàßë, î mēåñt ñø hárm!

Alpha: Well, that's a first.

Golf: 😫 That "thing" is disgusting.

India: You could say that again.

Raven: Well if it's a Grimm and the informant isn't here...

Without a second thought, Alpha ordered the grimm to be executed. It screams agony as the rest flee to the control room.

Alpha: {Alpha to Charlie, It's a trap. I repeat, the whole dang operation is a trap!}

Charlie: {By who?}

Alpha: {Grimm! Get to the hatch, we'll meet you guys there! }

By that point, the bodies began to awoke as zombie like Grimm.

Charlie: Everyone, Kill them all!

Charlie and the Hunters and Huntresses in the room began to open fire upon the dead.

Meanwhile, back with Alpha, The Bodies slowly rise up, but they were easily taken out by Foxtrot's Purifier. After figuring out that bullets won't be as effective against these Grimms, slicing became a better option.

Alpha: Cut off their heads!

Alpha takes out is sword and began slashing at the zombies with the rest following suit.

The eventually made it back to the Hatch and zombies cornering them. Large swaths of the undead have been taken care of thanks to the heavier firepower onboard with the operators.

Delta: Well, any way out?

Alpha: Yes we do. 😏. Everyone, wear your apparatus and brace.

STRQ & SPECAL: Why?

PATR: Oh brother.

Everyone wears back their scuba gear and get closer to each other as the Grombies (Grimm Zombies) close in to them.

Bravo: Gah! They keep coming! Alpha, I hope this isn't one of those improvise plans!

Alpha: We improvise a lot!

Bravo: Me and my big mouth.

The sub that sent to fetch them dock. The pilot ask them if they should dock, to which Alpha responded: "Affirmative, get the rest on board". The Hatch open and everyone get inside the sub. Before they could do so a Grombies manages to snag on Hotel's foot, but Charlie saved her by shooting the grimm dead.

The Pilot ask, "Where are the survivors?", Lima answered, "Dead". The mini-sub swims out from the area with the remaining Grombies died drowning.

The crew in the sub relief themselves with the knowledge that the grimm won't be able to resurface the sub. They thought wrong as bright lights and the whirling sound of the abandoned submarine's engine began to spring.

Golf: Uh... Guys? We may have a problem.

Alpha: I see it. Echo?

Echo: On it!

With a launcher in hand, he rushes through the corridor and out of the sub. They watch as Echo aimed his launcher to the sub, but then Hotel reminded him, "Shoot the ledge! That sub is on unstable ground. They can't activate the sub, while it's descending to the floor.", "Roger that". Echo readjusted his aim to the ledge and gave fire.

The torpedo soars through the wave, cutting the waters as it strikes the ground beneath the sub. Rubbles fell on top of the sub, with the floor cracking under neath, sending the massive submarine plummeting to the see floor, where it will never be found again.

Alpha: {Alpha to base, the mission is a failure, there were no traces of the informant and any survivors in the sub.}

Base: {Is that so? Have you taken care of the Grimm and any research regarding that particular grimm?}

Alpha: {Affirmative}

Base: {Then let's say... The mission is a success! Well done team! Prep for exfil, you're coming back.}

Alpha: {Rodge and dodge, Alpha out!}

The Mini-sub brings the team to the bullhead and they ship themselves back to Beacon.

Inside the Beacon auditorium, most of students screams in joy with the Task force and STRQ made out alive and preventing an apocalypse from happening. RWBY and Pyrrha relief themselves with OPRATR safe and sound.

A/N: I would like to say Thank you all for reading till this end if the year. 2020 may have been harsh at some point, even the Virus, I generally find the year to be fine for me. At least I can be at home, spend time with my family more than I could've hoped for. Anywho, thank you all for reading this year and hope that next year won't be as bad as this year. See you later 😉
