Yang had just sat back down in her seat, after apologizing to Blake and Sienna. While she still held a nervous smile on her face, she expertly looked towards the screen while still trying to contain her excitement.

"So... what's got you so excited about this universe?" Mercury asked Yang with a raised brow before furrowing them in confusion. "Also, what's this about a bug and electricity transferors?"

"I can guarantee you that those two things have nothing to do with this universe." Yang told Mercury, her face immediately shifting to a straight face.

"But Mr. Vortech said this universe had something to do with transformers and a bumblebee." Penny pointed out, her face twisted in cute confusion.

"Oh, trust me, Penny. You are going to love this universe. I just know it." Ruby told her friend with a bright smile. "It's all about giant—."

Before Ruby could continue her explanation, Yang clasped her hand over her sister's mouth. "No! Don't tell them. Let them wait and see with their own eyes, just like we did."

Ruby mumbled through Yang's hand while raising her hands a bit in a questioning manner.

"No "buts." I'm serious." Yang told Ruby. "And you know how I get when I get serious. Do you want to go through another cookie jar hostage situation?"

Ruby immediately dilated her pupils as she rapidly shook her head. In the mean time, Blake and Weiss furrowed their brows in confusion.

"Cookie jar hostage situation?" Weiss repeated in question as she shared a look with Blake, who shrugged in response.

"You really want us to be kept in suspense." Cinder told Yang with a schooled look before shrugging. "I suppose the best things in life shouldn't be spoiled. Though I do hope this is actually going to be something impressive."

"You can bet your absent, pigtailed teammate it's impressive." Yang said with a confident smirk before pointing at Cinder. "By the way, why didn't Vortech bring her with you guys?"

"I have no idea." Emerald replied with a shrug and the best poker face she could come up with.

Meanwhile, Neo was innocently whistling in the back rows, glancing off to the side with a knowing look.

"Yes. Well, if we're all done, I'd like to start the viewing. Unless you all have something better to do." Vortech said aloud with a visibly bored and annoyed look. "Which I know none of you don't."

"I think we're good here." Yang told Vortech with a smile as she removed her hand from Ruby's mouth.

The Vortonian rolled his eyes before tapping his staff on the ground, allowing for the viewing to commence.

____________________________

The viewing promptly opened up to show Yang slamming a plastic crate filled with parts, along with some lien, onto Qrow's desk.

"I'll give you thirty bucks for all of it." Yang told her elderly uncle.

Qrow responded with a scoffing chuckle as he replied back to her, pointing to the box. "I can get twice that much for the coil alone."

"From who?" Yang asked. "I'm the only one that comes in here. I don't even know how you're still open."

____________________________

"Wow. Really?" Qrow asked with a surprised, raised brow. "I would think I'd do better at running a business than that."

"Probably aren't a whole lot of people looking to repair their vehicles." Tai said while shrugging. "That or they'd rather try and fix 'em on their own. Which at that, I can respect them."

"I wouldn't exactly call you a professional, though." Qrow shook his head while giving Tai a deadpan.

"What are talking about? I'm great at fixing things." Tai retorted back.

"No. No you are not." This time Ozpin replied with his own deadpan.

"Yeah, Dad. There's a reason I always want to take Bumblebee to a mechanic before going to you." Yang told her father as she crossed her arms.

"I've fixed it before, havent I?" Tai asked his daughter, making it seem as more of a statement.

"And I was able to drive it." Yang told Tai before raising up three fingers. "For three seconds, before it broke down again."

"Sorry, Dad. But you are not really good at fixing things." Ruby admitted with a sheepish look. "We only let you cause we don't want to hurt your feelings."

"What?" Tai asked with a surprised look. He then looked around at the Beacon professors, Ozpin, and Ironwood. All of them nodded in agreement with their own various looks of admittance, causing Tai to slump his shoulders in disappointment. "Aw, man."

____________________________

"Just take it. Go." Qrow waved Yang off as he looked down to the miniature, hand-held tv in his hands. "My show is on."

Yang gave no reply, other than grabbing the crate off of her uncle's desk and started to walk off. As static crackled over the small tv in Qrow's hands, Yang paused in her steps, turning back around towards her uncle.

"Hey, where did you get that Beetle?" She asked him.

However, Qrow did not pay attention to her question as he continued to fiddle with the hand-held tv. "I swear to God, ever since they put up that dumbass tower, I can't get a signal to watch my shows. I've got to see what happens to Alf this week."

Seeing as she would get not reply from her uncle, Yang continued to walk off.

____________________________

"Huh. I always imagined I'd be something akin to this when I grew old." Qrow said as he placed his hand to his chin. He then shrugged. "Can't say I'm disappointed."

"It's been a long while since I've ever seen anyone use a hand-held tv." Pietro spoke with a nostalgic chuckle. "Only people who still use those are antique collectors."

"So, again, what's this about a bug?" Mercury asked.

"It's not a bug. It's the name of a car type." Yang informed Mercury before smirking. "As to why my counterpart asked Uncle Qrow about it... that's the part you all gotta see."

____________________________

The viewing cut to Yang driving on her motorbike back to her house—the crate full of parts on the back of her seat. The day was turning to dusk as she parked her bike beside the house.

"Come on!" Yang shouted in frustration.

She was shown within her garage, which was filled with tools, speakers, and music-related items.

Metal clattered to the ground as Yang gave out a sigh. She continued to work on whatever she was doing before groaning. A photo of Yang and her father beside each other, smiling, was shown pinned to a wall as the metal continued to clank throughout the garage.

"Are you kidding me?" Yang groaned out. She was revealed to be working on the undercarriage of a red Corvette, and she was having much trouble with it.

____________________________

"Oh, I know that tone anywhere." Ruby said with a wince. "It's a good thing there aren't any semblances in this, otherwise they'd need to call the fire department."

"Yeah..." Yang said as she sheepishly rubbed the back of her neck. "I'll admit it, I get destructive when I'm angry."

"That's an understatement, sweetie." Tai told his daughter with a bland look.

"Temper tantrum aside, you seem to have a very retro garage." Ilia commented on the scene.

"And a nice looking car too." Mercury complimented. "Old, yet sleek."

"It's probably that corvette car my counterpart was talking about when we first saw the viewing." Yang said as she too admired a bit of the sleekness to the vehicle. "Also, it should be noted this all takes placed in the 1980s."

"That explains the hand-held television." Pietro said.

____________________________

Metal squeaking was heard under car before Yang grunted aloud in frustration, wheeling herself out from under the vehicle. "Damn it."

Yang tossed her wrench to the ground before bringing her hands to her forehead in sadness and frustration, looking up to the ceiling above her.

Yang sighed as she began to sob. "I give up. I can't do this without you."

____________________________

"Wait. What's that about?" Emerald asked in confusion.

Yang and Ruby shared sad and wincing looks before the former spoke. "Apparently in this universe... our dad died of a heart attack. My counterpart is still taking it pretty difficult."

"Oh. I'm sorry for your loss." Ilia told Yang and Ruby with what sounded to be sincerity in her voice. While she knew their father was in the audience with them, that didn't mean she couldn't also sympathize with the Yang on screen. After all, she knew what it was like to lose parents.

"Oh, if only I was that lucky with my dad, early on." Mercury lamented inside his mind. "Maybe then I'd still have my semblance and real legs."

"Don't worry, you two. I'm not going anywhere, any time soon." Tai told his girls with a smile, causing them to return the sentiment. "Besides, I've got a life's worth of jokes to tell you guys."

"Great..." Ruby drawled out through her teeth, clearly not liking the sound of that one bit. Yang, on the other hand, couldn't help but softly chuckle.

____________________________

The viewing cut to show Raven, Ruby, and Summer eating their dinner upon tv tables, all of them sitting together with Zwei as they watched tv and ate.

____________________________

"Holy shit. Is that Raven Branwen?" Emerald whispered to Cinder.

"If I recall from the information we've gathered, she's Yang's biological mother." Cinder whispered back as she narrowed her eyes at the screen. "And Summer Rose is there as well."

"There's another image I'd never imagine I would see." Tai said with owlish eyes.

"Raven and Summer eating dinner and watching tv with Ruby." Qrow stated the situation. "This universe is just full of disbelieving surprises."

____________________________

"Nice to meet you. Interested in a new Buick?" The voice of Alf spoke from the tv.

"Nice try." Kate told Alf.

"All right, I touched. But I didn't eat." Alf replied to her.

The three of them all laughed at Alf's joke just as Yang walked into the bourse from the garage door, a sullen expression on her face.

"And I'm supposed to believe one of these steaks just got up and walked away on it's own?" Kate asked Alf.

"I've seen stranger." Alf replied to her.

"No dinner for you tonight." Kate told Alf.

"But I'm starved! I've been fasting since lunch!" Alf complained to Kate.

As Raven, Ruby, and Summer continued to laugh at the comedic show about a scruffy little alien, Yang watched on, her look still saddened and distant. Without saying anything to them, Yang simply turned and walked toward her room.

____________________________

"Oh, come on. Don't be like that." Yang chided her counterpart. "Spend some time with your family. Don't brood around like Blake."

"I take resentment to that." Blake told her partner with a raised finger.

"It's true, though." Ilia found herself agreeing with the buxom blonde.

"Please don't agree with her, in this instance." Blake pleaded with her old friend as Yang gave a smirk. "I don't need both of you luring stuff over my head."

"It's sad that friend Yang's counterpart is too depressed to eat with the rest of her family." Penny said with a sullen look. She also made a mental note to try and eat more dinners with her father when she could get the chance.

"With such a loving father that Yang and Ruby have, I can't say that I could fully blame Yang's counterpart." Weiss said as she crossed her arms, mentally scowling at the thought of her own father. "But she will need to come out of her shell, eventually."

____________________________

"Well, I did eat that pumpkin." Alf told Kate, prompting Raven, Ruby, and Summer to chuckle some more.

The viewing changed to day as was shown laying face down upon her bed, having not even slept with her blanket over her.

Her alarm started to blare, causing Yang to groan as she moved her hand out to the alarm clock, shutting it off. Yang was then shown walking into her bathroom, not even bothering to turn on the lights as she looked into the mirror.

In a soft voice, Yang spoke to herself. "Happy birthday."

____________________________

"Even saying happy birthday to myself in a mirror." Yang sighed as she shook her head. "I've been there once, or at least something close it that place of mind. I hope I never have to go through it again."

"Well, if you ever do, just know that you don't have to go through it alone." Ruby softly spoke to her older sister with a smile, prompting Yang to smile back at her.

____________________________

Looking down, she set her eyes upon the framed photo of herself and Taiyang. Yang touched the photo with her hand, her breath trembling a bit as she spoke. "I miss you, Dad."

Within the living room, Raven was shown try to tie a neck tie onto the collar of Summer's button up shirt.

"I think it's too low, honey." Summer told Raven as she looked into a mirror behind the both of them.

"No. No, I think it goes to that button." Raven told Summer as she continued to fiddle with the tie.

"Yeah?" Summer asked her.

"Yeah." Raven said a tone that said she was getting ready to give up. "I don't know about... Fix it."

____________________________

"And the list keeps piling up." Qrow said before taking a swing from his flask. "I think I'm gonna take a shot whenever I see Raven do... something so non-Raven, in this universe."

"I'm honestly wondering if that's going to make you more drunk than you usually are, or not." Glynda said as she looked to her colleague.

"Probably the same as usual." Qrow replied with a shrug.

"Wow. I mean, this is something I'd expect Summer to do." Tai said as he still could not grasp how different Raven was in the Transformer's universe. "Never would I have imagined Raven tying someone's tie around their neck."

"In other words, acting as the common household wife?" Winter suggested to Tai.

"Mhmm. With Raven, I'd expect a more stern wife who always puts her foot down, or always makes sure she wins the argument of the week." Tai gave his opinion of how he would expect Raven to act. "Maybe even something risqué along the lines, here and there."

"Hey. It's like Vortech said. It's the multiverse." Yang said with a shrug as she crossed her arms and looked towards the screen with a schooled expression. "At least this version of her didn't bale out on us."

____________________________

"Hey." Yang spoke as she entered into the room.

"Good morning, birthday girl!" Summer said in a more jovial tone as she still looked into the mirror.

"Hi." Raven told her oldest daughter with a smile.

"You look..." Summer began as she turned to face Yang, only to see her tired and slightly disheveled look. "Nice."

____________________________

"I've looked better." Yang agreed with with Summer's sentiment. "Even if I was in a mood, I'd always brush my hair into place."

"She almost looks like how I did when I endlessly tried to figure out what the White Fang were up to in Vale." Blake spoke between herself and Yang.

Yang replied with a smile as she patted her partner on the shoulder. "Good thing I was there to stop you from becoming so sleep-deprived, you'd end up with zero motor functions in your body."

"Yeah, thanks for that." Blake told her partner with a nod.

"Any time, my brooding companion." Yang replied with a teasing smile, causing Blake to give her a deadpan in return.

____________________________

Yang gave no response as Raven walked over to her.

"Happy birthday, baby." Raven told Yang as she kissed her on the cheek.

"I love you. Come on, open your present." Raven told Yang as she walked over to a countertop where a white gift bag, covered in variously colored triangles, was placed upon. All the while Summer continued to fiddle with the tie. "I'm gonna be late for work."

Walking over to the countertop after Raven, Yang gave a small smile as she started to go through the bag. "Thanks, mom."

Pulling out the pink wrapping paper that was within the bag, Yang soon pulled out a purple bike helmet that was covered in kiddie floral designs and butterflies.

"Helmet." Yang said to Raven with a forced smile. "With... Daffodils."

____________________________

"Huh..." Yang uttered as she dumbly stared at the screen. "I, uh... I don't think I have any words to describe what I'm feeling right now."

"There's another shot." Qrow commented before taking a swing of his flask.

"Gave her a helmet that a twelve-year old would wear." Emerald said as she shook her head. "That feels more like a last-minute gift."

"I think it looks quite lovely." Penny said with a cheerful smile. "It emulates how Ms. Raven feels for friend Yang."

____________________________

"So, I keep hearing about people on mopeds getting run over and their brains smashed in." Raven explained to Yang as she placed the helmet onto the countertop. "You got to wear this from now on. I don't care if it's not the law. It's our law. Plus, look how cute it is."

Yang looked between her mother and the bike helmet, eyes darting up and down as she clearly did not like this. However, she told her mother otherwise when she spoke. "Yeah."

____________________________

"If you're going to give me a helmet, you could at least get me one that relates to my style." Yang told her on screen mother. "Maybe orange with yellow flames, or black with yellow flames. Or just a plain yellow helmet."

"Give your personality here, I'd probably even through in a mohawk onto the helmet." Mercury added in his two cents.

"She even has safety concerns about Yang being on the road." Tai numbly said before giving a small chuckle. "A part of me wishes Raven was here to see this."

"The mother my sister never was." Qrow stated before taking another shot from his flask.

____________________________

"Happy birthday." Raven told Yang with a smile, just as Summer walked up behind Raven.

"I actually got you a little gift , too, Yang." Summer told Yang as she placed a hand over the right side of her chest. "I mean, it's small but, it's from the heart."

From behind her back, Summer handed over to Yang a book. The cover of the book read: "SMILE for a change. The benefits of a positive attitude."

Yang, who was clearly even less amused about the book than the helmet, took it into her hand as Summer spoke.

____________________________

Yang slapped her hand onto her face as she shook her head. "Come on, mom..."

"Ooh. Is that gift or an insult?" Roman asked with a laugh. "I can't tell."

"I'd say that's worse than the helmet." Cinder said, though she couldn't help but give a small chuckle at the scene.

"I can see Summer doing something like that." Tai said while chuckling. "She always was a positive thinker."

"Personally speaking, that looks like something she'd give to Raven." Qrow added in.

"At least it does seem that Summer is trying to help out Yang, in this universe." Glynda said, though her face held a small wince. "Even if it isn't actually all that helpful."

____________________________

"A smile is a powerful thing." Summer said, her eyes showing that she's being serious. "It releases endorphins. It says to the world, "I'm fun and approachable.""

Summer held a smile on her face as Yang gave her a silent, disbelieving look. Summer then took the book back as she elaborated a bit more on it. "You know, there's a whole chapter in here about how people who smile more often actually have more friends."

"That's unbelievable." Yang told Summer, feigning a shocked expression as her tone was sarcastic.

____________________________

"Ouch." Mercury mildly commented.

"Ruby's mother should be more careful with her words." Pyrrha said with a wince. "Even if she's trying to help out Yang."

"This reminds of some of the more cringed moments Summer had when Dad first married her." Yang reminisced as she shook her head. Her eyes then looked back to the book on screen, a mischievous grin growing on her face as she turned to Blake. "Though that book might make for the best joke-present to give to Blake."

"Please don't." Blake sighed at her partner.

"Ooh! And Renny!" Nora said with a giggle as she rose her hand in agreement.

"Regardless of the joke, I wouldn't call myself the most sociable type." Ren said with a calm look. "That may be something Jaune would read into."

"Eh. I wouldn't put it past me." Jaune admitted with a shrug.

____________________________

Summer, who clearly didn't get the memo on Yang's current attitude, placed the book done onto the countertop, sliding it over to Yang. "I really think it's going to change your whole outlook if you smile more often."

Yang stood there, her eyes disbelieving in Summer's words. She looked over to Raven, who somewhat forced a nervous smile, understanding the issue at hand, though simply doing her best to go along with it as Summer gave a more honest and natural smile towards Yang.

____________________________

"Oof. Even Raven knows that book was not the right thing to give to Yang." Tai shook his head with a wince.

"Forcing a smile for Summer..." Qrow said as he went for his flask again. He soon paused, giving the idea some thought before receding his hand away from his alcoholic beverage. "Scratch that. That's actually something Raven might do."

____________________________

A guitar from a rock song started to play as the viewing cut to Yang landing face-first into the top of her bed. She was shown walking around a bit, contemplating a bit before she was shown back in her bed, throwing part of the covers over her head. However, Yang soon slowly arose from the bed, a look of realization dawning upon her face.

Yang was shown walking back into her uncle's repair shop, her appearance now more organized as she walked over to Qrow.

"I want the Beetle." Yang bluntly told Qrow in a hopeful tone as she walked towards his desk.

____________________________

"Now we're talking." Yang said as she rubbed her hands in excitement.

____________________________

"What?" Qrow asked as he looked up at her.

"The yellow Beetle. I want it." Yang clarified to him. "I'll make you a deal. If I get that thing started, it's mine."

"That's no deal." Qrow told Yang. "That's just you taking my car."

____________________________

"Yeah. That's the equivalent of me trying to make a deal where if I can accurately count all on the lien in a cash register, I get all the lien." Roman said. "Sadly, that is not how the world works... even though I wish it did."

"I can be resourceful when it comes to something I want." Yang said. "I'll come up with something more effective."

____________________________

"If I get it started, I keep it and I work here every day for a year!" Yang rambled to Qrow as she was trying to find a way for her to get the car, all the whole Qrow gave her a strange look. "I'll scrub the grease off the floors, okay? I will pick up and organize every scrap of paper in this place. I'll even detail your horrible, disgusting toilets."

____________________________

"Even toiletry duty?" Winter asked with a raised brow. "You're brave. Especially considering they're toilets manage by Qrow that, by the description of them, sound as if they may be worse than lavoratories at Dust stations."

"Like I said. I stretch my limits when I want to get something." Yang said with a proud smirk. "I've cleaned the entire house back at Patch plenty of times if there was something I wanted to get. It's in part of how I earned my beloved Bumblebee."

"I couldn't imagine you of people cleaning toilets." Ruby said as she slightly balked at the idea. "There are some things in the world far worse than the Grimm, and toilet duty is one of them."

____________________________

Qrow looked up at Yang, this time with a more straightened appearance as his niece continued to plead with him. "Please. It's my birthday."

"Sorry, no deal." Qrow plainly told Yang.

This had caused Yang's face to become more sullen.

"Cause we ain't hiring." Qrow continued, causing Yang's mood to change a bit as she awaited for her uncle to continue. "It's yours kid. Happy birthday."

____________________________

"Oh, thank God." Yang said with a sigh of relief before turning to her uncle. "Nearly scared me a bit there, Qrow. Thought my counterpart would have to end up stealing B for a moment."

"Hey, you are my niece. Just don't ever say I never gave you anything worth while, multiversal counterpart or not." Qrow replied to Yang with a smile.

In the meantime, Emerald couldn't help but raise her brow at what Yang had said. "You named the car you want as B?"

At this, Yang widened her eyes at the slip up. "Crap... my bad. Uh, just watch and you'll see."

"And you thought I'd give it away." Ruby told Yang with a cocky smirk.

"You almost did." Yang replied back to her sister with an even look.

"Not in this case." Ruby pointed an accusing finger at her older sister as the viewing continued.

____________________________

Hearing this, Yang gasped as a smile started to spread across her face. "Thank you."

Yang then started to quickly walk off towards where the VW Beetle was located, all the whole still thanking her uncle. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"And my toilets are gorgeous." Qrow retorted to Yang as she walked off.

____________________________

"I doubt that." Winter muttered to herself.

____________________________

Yang, who now hat her hair tied up as she held a toolbox in hand, walked up to the yellow Beetle, setting the toolbox down so she could pull off the tarp that covered the dirty vehicle.

____________________________

Yang smiled upon seeing the Autobot in disguise once more. "Isn't he a beaut?"

"That's the car you're gunning for?" Mercury asked. "That looks like a hunk of junk. Why not go back to fixing the Corvette?"

Yang narrowed her eyes as she slowly turned her head back at Mercury. "Be warned. You are going to eat your words soon enough."

Mercury looked at her in confusion. "Why are you so defensive of an old and dirty car?"

"Like I said. You'll find out." Yang succinctly replied as she turned back around.

"We'd tell you, but she's sworn us to secrecy." Blake told the grey-themed teen.

"Besides, you really probably wouldn't believe us if we told you, anyways." Weiss said. "Emerald didn't think we'd all see ghosts, yet we saw what happened in the Ghostbusters' universe."

At that, Mercury couldn't help but relent to. "Okay. I guess you got me there. Better still be good, though."

"Hey, wait, since when do people call cars as a he?" Emerald found herself asking.

"You'll see." Yang as she continued to look at the screen.

____________________________

A montage of Yang inspecting under both hoods of the Beetle, with her tools at the ready, was shown to the audience as music played.

"🎶Think about it
There must be higher love🎶"

"🎶Down in the heavens hidden
In the stars above🎶"

Yang then rubbed off some sweat from her forehead, giving a silent sigh before leaning her arm against the roof of the Beetle.

"🎶Without it
Life is a wasted time...🎶"

"🎶Look inside you're heart and
Look inside mine🎶"

Inside of the car, Yang sat in the driver's seat as she moved her hand to start the ignition. "Oh, God, please."

Yang twisted the keys. The response she got was the engine stalling. "Come on." She then twisted the keys again, and this time, to her joyful surprise, the engine started to rev up. "Oh, my... Oh, my God! Oh, my God, thank you so much! I love you!"

____________________________

"Huh. It actually works." Ilia muttered in surprise.

Yang gave warmly smiled towards the screen with a small chuckle, excited for what was to come from the encounter her counterpart would soon have with B-127.

____________________________

Inside of Qrow's repair shop, Qrow was going over some papers as Bill was working on a car part as others worked in the background. The two turned their heads to the sound of a car engine rumbling. They watched as Yang slowly drove by the entrance in the now functioning Beetle.

"That thing ain't even safe to drive." Bill commented as he and Qrow watched Yang slowly drive by.

"It's a deathtrap." Qrow added in agreement.

____________________________

"Wait. Deathtrap?" Yang blinked as she asked her question.

"The Volkswagen Beetle models were infamous for breaking down and having starting issues when they first released." Vortech stated.

"A hunk of junk, and isn't safe to drive." Mercury listed as he ate some more popcorn. "Yeah, it's turning out to be a real beauty."

As Yang scowled a bit at Mercury, Penny gave her own two cents. "Well I think it's a cute car. It may not function right, but I'm certain with the proper work, it can be perfect."

"Oh, Penny, just you wait." Ruby mentally spoke to herself as she smiled towards her android friend.

____________________________

Within the Beetle, Yang had the window down as she waved her arm out to her uncle, a bright smile on her face as she began to drive off.

Qrow responded by smiling and waving back to her. "She's happy, though."

____________________________

"You are not making the impression that you're good at giving out presents." Tai gave a deadpanned, raised brow toward his old teammate.

"Yang can handle it. Even if she isn't a huntress-in-training in this universe." Qrow somewhat slurred out, the alcohol starting to get to him.

"Perhaps you should cut yourself from your bottomless flask, for the time being." Oobleck suggested to Qrow.

"No! When I say that I'm taking shots when my sister is acting weird, I mean it." Qrow sternly replied before looking back at the screen.

____________________________

"🎶Bring me a higher love🎶"

"🎶Bring me a higher love🎶"

It was dusk once more as Yang drove the VW Beetle up to her house, pulling up into the garage.

"🎶Bring me a higher love🎶"

"🎶Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?🎶"

Yang exited the driver seat of the Beetle, walking up to the garage door as she pulled it shut.

"Man." Yang spoke in awe as she took in the sigh of the Beetle, walking around the now clean vehicle. "Looks amazing."

Something started to groan underneath the car before a strange part felt out from the undercarriage.

____________________________

"Spoke too soon?" Emerald rhetorically asked with a raised brow.

"Ooh..." Yang said with a wince.

"Hmm. Im no car expert, but that piece doesn't appear to go with this Beetle vehicle." Penny said as she tilted her head in curiosity.

Pietro leaned in his walking chair, squinting his eyes as he tried to get a better look at the piece that fell off. "Compared to the rest of the car... that piece seems a little advanced in appearance. Almost alien to the vehicle itself."

At the mention of the word "alien," Ironwood couldn't help but inwardly smirk towards Pietro. He just knew the old scientist was going go through several birthday surprise parties when seeing B-127 in his robot mode.

____________________________

This caused Yang to glance to where the part fell down at, giving it an odd look before moving to the side of the Beetle and crouching down.

"What?" Yang whispered as she looked at the strange part that had fallen off.

Getting up, Yang went to retrieve her rolling board and a flashlight before getting back to the Beetle. Kneeling to her hands and knees, Yang turned on the flashlight, looking under the car before flipped herself over onto her rolling board. She then moved herself forward, underneath the car.

With the flashlight in hand, Yang moved the light along the undercarriage of the Beetle, inspecting as to where the part fell off from. As she did so, she passed by a strange sight under the car, prompting her to move the flashlight back to what she saw. The light shown upon what seemed to be a metallic face with lifeless eyes and pipes connecting upon a cylindrical item that sat over where a mouth would usually sit.

____________________________

"Wait, that's not a car part..." Mercury said a he squinted his eyes at the screen. "Is it?"

"Why does it look like a face?" Ilia questioned.

"It is a very peculiar design choice." Penny said as she looked at the image with curiosity.

In the meantime, Yang couldn't help but show a knowing smile on her face, as she, and everyone else that was here for the first viewing of this universe, knew what the face was.

____________________________

Yang looked at the odd sight in confusion. Just then, the eyes of face alight a bright blue, shining upon Yang's face and causing her to gasp in shock.

____________________________

"Excuse me?" Emerald asked with wide eyes.

"What...?" Mercury trailed off in shock.

"Oh, my." Penny said in astonishment.

"What on Remnant?" Cinder asked as even she was surprised by this.

"Just what exactly is that car?" Winter asked in complete surprise.

____________________________

From over Yang, parts of the vehicle started to shift and move as panels covered over some of the robotic face. The Beetle then started to stand up as more parts shifted and moved around. Yang watched in shock and awe as the vehicle transformed before her very eyes. Soon enough, what stood before Yang was no longer the VW Beetle, but a large, transforming, yellow robot with the from the Beetle as its chest.

Yang gasped with shaken breath as she slowly got up to her feet, carefully stepping back as she looked upon the spectacle before her with slight apprehension.

"Oh, my God." Yang whispered as she looked up at B-127.

____________________________

"By all the machines and technology in Atlas..." Pietro said with an awed expression, his eyes practically stars. "Never have I seen something so magnificent as this."

"That is B-127." Yang introduced to those new to this universe with a proud smile. "An Autobot from the planet Cybertron. A world of giant, alien, transforming robots."

"I can see why you wanted to keep it a surprise." Ilia said as her eyes were glued to the viewing screen in amazement.

"He's marvelous!" Penny exclaimed with childish glee.

Mercury, Emerald, and Cindet all widened their eyes in recognition of a vehicle transforming into a large robot. However, they did their best to pretend that it was new to them.

"You're right. That is impressive." Mercury said, making sure he seemed surprised.

Cinder narrowed her eyes upon the yellow robot on screen, the image of the masked, blue, giant transforming robot that she and her lackies encountered upon first coming to Foundation Prime appeared in her head. "So this must be the universe Soundwave originated from."

Sienna Khan, who had quiet for the entire beginning of the viewing, was stunned speechless upon seeing this B-127 transform from a car to a robot in just a few seconds. "I think it's safe to say I've never seen anything like this."

"How could such a technological feat come to be?" Winter asked in shock and befuddlement.

"Every part, every gear, every piece of metal shifted and morphed smoothly into such a clean, robotic figure." Pietro said, feeling as if he was child in a candy store.

"And they're autonomous." Ironwood informed the old scientist with a smile.

"Just like me." Penny thought to herself as she stared closely to B-127, finding some form of kinship between herself and the large, yellow robot.

"Their entire world, Cybertron, was even made out of metal." Ozpin stated. "It was quite the sight to behold."

"Oh, I wish I could have been there to see it." Pietro said in continued awe. "A world of giant, transforming, autonomous robots. It's a pipe dream come true."

____________________________

Just then, B-127 tilted his head, causing Yang to gasp as she started to run away.

____________________________

"No, wait. Don't run!" Yang shouted to her counterpart.

"Frankly I'm surprised it took her that long." Emerald said. "Cool as that transforming robot is, it's still intimidating and surprising."

____________________________

In the mean time, B-127 was backing up away from Yang, hitting his head against the ceiling of the garage and causing a kite to fall onto his head. Yang hurriedly made her way to the door, keeping her eyes on the large robot as she twisted the doorknob. However, she paused in her actions as she watched B-127 struggle around with the kite. She watched as he moved around, unable to see before he was finally able to toss the kite away from his eyes. B-127 then opted to crouch down into a corner, his arms wrapped around his legs as he shied away from Yang.

____________________________

"There goes the intimidation factor." Mercury commented with a bland look.

"Usually it's the smaller things that are scared of big things." Cinder said with a raised brow.

"Why's B so scared all of a sudden?" Nora asked in confusion. "He wasn't like this when Ironwood and his soldiers were chasing him."

"What?" Pietro asked as he looked over to the General.

Sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck, Ironwood spoke. "B-127 crash landed on Remnant in a forest where my counterpart was doing training drills with Marrow. B-127 ran and my counterpart pursued."

"Typical Atlesian." Sienna muttered with an eye roll.

"B-127's apprehension of Yang may come from his memory loss." Pyrrha pointed out with a frown.

Yang winced in agreement to Pyrrha's suggestion while Ilia rose her brow.

"Fight?" Ilia asked. "Is this about the encounter with Ironwood?"

"No. I mean, kind of, but not entirely." Yang told the chameleon. "Okay, so on Cybertron, there's this world-wide civil war going on. The good guys are the Autobots and the bad guys are the Decepticons. Bumblebee was sent to Remnant to make a base, but one of the Decepticons, whose name was Blitzwing, a big flying one that turns into a type of airship called a jet, attacked him and killed a lot of Ironwood's men. B and Blitzwing battled it out and B sustained a lot of damage. But before he lost his memories, he used one of Blitzwing's missiles against him and blew him up."

"Now that sounds like quite the fight." Emerald said before picking back up her popcorn bucket, eating a few kernels. "Wish we were there to see it."

"Oh, it was awesome." Ruby said with awe in her tone. "A bit sad to what happened to B, but it was still awesome."

____________________________

Yang watched the scene with a surprised face. She slowly began to close the door behind her, so she could get a better look at B-127. However, just as she did so, another hand reached out for the knob on the other side of the door.

"Yang, what was that noise?" Raven asked her daughter in a tired tone as she opened the door.

"Nothing! I'm fine. Mom, you should go back to bed. Everything's fine." Yang quickly told her mother, who was wearing a robe over a floral patterned shirt, all the while trying to make sure Raven wouldn't see B-127.

"What the hell is that?" It was of no use, however, as Raven squinted her eyes in confusion at what laid before them, moving past Yang.

____________________________

"Looks like the entire family is about to meet B." Yang said with a wincing look.

"I wonder how this version of Raven is going to take to big robot." Tai commented.

____________________________

"Um, it's..." Yang trailed off, trying to figure out a way to explain B-127 to her mother.

"What is that car doing in our garage?" Raven asked Yang as she pointed her hands towards the vehicle.

"Car?" With a wide-eyed, confused look, Yang looked back to see that B-127 had transformed back into a VW Beetle. Turning back around, Yang gave a short explanation about the car. "Oh, that, uh, car is my car. Uncle Qrow gave it to me."

____________________________

"That was quick." Blake commented.

"He's really shy." Ruby said with a sympathetic look.

"At least we don't have to deal with my mother's counterpart freaking out." Yang said with a relived look.

____________________________

"It runs." Yang pointed her hand towards the vehicle before softly speaking. "Yeah."

"Those aren't safe." Raven told Yang as she pointed to the Beetle, all the whole Yang looked to her mother with a slightly cringed look. "I wish you would've told me before you brought it home."

"Okay. Sorry." Yang apologized to Raven. "Um, I'm in the middle of some stuff, Mom."

"Okay. I'll get out of your hair, but..." Raven said as she started to walk away, brushing some of her hair back. "Tell me things sometime—."

"Okay." Yang replied.

"I'm your mother." Raven finished as she walked back. "Okay."

____________________________

"Raven wanting Yang to tell her about any potential issues she may have." Qrow listed as he took another shot.

____________________________

"Good night." Yang told Raven as her mother started to walk away.

"It really runs?" Raven asked as she started to close the door.

"Yeah, it really runs." Yang confirmed to Raven.

"Cool." Raven said before Yang pulled the door close.

Still heavily breathing, Yang looked back at the Beetle, slowly walking towards it.

"You still in there?" Yang quietly asked the vehicle, placing her hand on the right fender.

Metal started to creak before the fender fell off of the car, causing Yang to move back a bit. "Okay. A little jumpy. I'm sorry."

Putting her wrench in her back pocket, Yang crouched down to lift the right bender back onto the car. Yang secured the fender in place before backing away again, pulling out her wrench. "Okay."

Yang crouched down as she made an attempt to make sure the fender wouldn't fall off again. To her sudden surprise, B-127 started to transform back into his robot mode, causing Yang to move back as she grunted. Yang watched in awe once more as B-127 transformed into his robot mode. The Autobot looked down at Yang, before becoming spooked, opting once more to back away and crouch into a corner of the garage.

B-127 flickered his eyes at Yang, looking at her with apprehension as he buried part of his head behind his arms.

____________________________

"Awe." Yang cooed at the sight. "I know he's scared but he just looks so cute right now that I want to give him a big 'ol hug."

"I think we have different definitions of cute." Emerald told Yang with a bland look. "At the very least he doesn't look freakish."

"But he has puppy dog eyes. How can you not find that cute?" Yang retorted to the mint-haired girl.

Emerald took another glance, looking directly at B-127's eyes before looking back at Yang. "Okay, I guess I can see that. But I wouldn't call him cute overall."

____________________________

Yang slowly started to get up, though she too was still in a bit of shock. "Hi."

B-127 quietly watched as Yang carefully made her way over to him. B-127 chirped a bit when he felt Yang walking towards him a little too fast, causing the girl to halt in her steps.

____________________________

"He just even more cute." Ruby said with stars in her eyes.

"Dammit. Why is it that the bad things that happened to B make him look and sound cute?" Yang swore to herself with a frustrated look.

____________________________

Yang went back to slowly walking towards B-127, only for the large robot to give out a whir as he scooted back more. Seeing this, Yang opted to crouch to the floor, laying her hands down as she looked up to the Autobot.

"Oh, God, are you..." Yang trailed off in her question, prompting B-127 to turn his head to her. "Do you speak?"

B-127 looked to Yang with what seemed to be an almost pained expression before sullenly looking down, groaning with a series of whirs.

He looked down over to the wrench in Yang's hand, causing him to widen his eyes before standing up, pushing himself agains the wall as he brought a hand to his metallic throat, using his other arm to shield himself in defense.

Yang promptly rose to her feet, putting her hand up as a sign of peace. She swiftly put away her wrench before holding her hands back up. "I won't hurt you."

____________________________

"It looks like there might be some things he remembers." Weiss said with a saddened tone.

"Why does B-127 not speak?" Penny inquired with a worried look.

Yang grimaced at the question as she began to explain. "During the fight with Blitzwing, the Con had him on the ropes. He wanted to know where other Autobots would be hiding. B didn't tell him... Blitzwing responded by tearing out B's voice box."

"Oh, dear." Penny said with a horrified look.

"I think I can imagine the conversation that led up to that." Cinder voiced her thoughts.

"These Decepticons sound pretty brutal." Ilia said with her own grimace. "Almost like faunus slave traffickers and SDC foremen."

"Yeah. Which was why it was all the more sweet when B sent Blitzwing to the scrapyard." Yang said with a small smirk before looking back at the screen.

____________________________

B-127 looked down to Yang, his eyes softening as he focused on the palms of her hands. B-127 then lowered himself down to her level, bringing his face to Yang's hands, allowing her place her hand on his metallic cheek as B-127 closed his eyes for a moment, taking in the feeling of her touch before looking back at her.

____________________________

There was a thumping within Yang's chest that grew every passing moment when her counterpart was spending time with B-127. The yellow Autobot letting her counterpart caress his metal cheek definitely sent her feelings into overdrive. To Yang, it felt like not just a blossoming friendship, but also something paternal, given B-127's loss of memory. At that, she couldn't help but warmly smile at the Autobot.

____________________________

Yang gave a soft gasp as she looked up at B-127. The two of them stared into each other's eyes before Yang spoke. "Can you understand me?"

B-127 gave a soft nod to her question.

Bringer her other hand and placing it under the Autobot's chin, Yang looked at him in continued awe. "What are you?"

B-127 looked down as Yang continued to ask more questions. "Where did you come from?"

B-127 them pulled himself back a bit from Yang's hands as he looked off to the side.

"Okay. It's okay." Yang gently told B-127 as she still held her hands up.

____________________________

"He even can't remember his home world." Sienn said with a frown, feeling sympathetic to the Autobot. She could recall some earlier search and rescue missions within the White Fang where they encountered faunus slaves that suffered from B-127's exact same issue. It was never a kind sight.

"I hope he can get his memory back soon." Ruby said with concern. "No one should have to forget where they came from."

"Well, amnesia varies among those it effects." Oobleck pointed out. "Given that Cybertronians are far from organic, who knows how long it would take for B-127 to regain his memories. They will either surface on their own, or something more forceful will need to be applied."

"If we're talking tech, I find that hitting the computer hard enough can jog things back into place." Qrow added in his two cents.

"You should never do that to a machine." Pietro chastised the huntsman. "Let alone an autonomous one."

"I was thinking more along the lines of plugging into B-127's head to try and pull up his memory banks." Oobleck told Qrow.

"Eh. They both work." Qrow said with a shrug.

"Yeah, I'd rather B not have to get knocked around again." Yang told her uncle with a more stern look. "That's how he lost his memory in the first place."

____________________________

Yang breathed heavily as she slowly lowered her arms, watching as B-127 brought up his hand, pointing to her chest.

Looking down at his finger, Yang faced the yellow robot. "You like my shirt?"

At this, B-127 lowered his eyes in slight annoyance, the flaps atop his head lowering as well.

"You a metal fan?" Yang asked him.

B-127 shook his head.

"No, wait..." Yang trailed off as she looked back at the finger the other robot was using to point to her. "Oh, who? Me? Who am I?"

____________________________

"I think that was pretty obvious." Mercury said as he gave a blank look to the screen.

"Well, she's blonde, so you gotta expect some slowness to her." Emerald muttered between herself and her partner.

"It would be cool if B was into metal." Yang said with a smile, brushing off her counterpart's initial misinterpretation. "We could both sit back and rock out. Unlike some teammates of mine."

"I prefer classical music." Weiss stated as she preened herself.

"It's pop rock for me." Blake said.

"Sorry Yang, you know I'll listen to music with you, but I cannot do metal." Ruby told her sister while shaking her head.

"Wimps." Mercury called out to the three huntresses-in-training.

"Thank you." Yang told Mercury with a smile.

____________________________

B-127 widened his eyes as he nodded to Yang.

With a soft and kind smile, Yang answered him. "Oh, I'm... Yang. Yang Xiao Long. I'm eighteen. Today. Actually, it's my birthday today."

Yang continued to smile in awe as she looked upon B-127. "What's your name?"

At this, B-127 shook his head to her, an indication that he did not know his own name.

"You don't know or you don't have a name?" Yang softly asked him.

____________________________

"His name too?" Ruby asked with a sullen look.

"Aside from instances of PTSD, it seems B-127 has forgotten most of, if not all of his past." Ren said as he cast the large robot a sympathetic glance.

"That probably also means his fighting skills too, doesn't it?" Jaune asked.

"Most likely." Ren replied to his remarks leader. "Though there's a chance I could be wrong."

____________________________

B-127 glanced down to the side, the flaps on his head lowering as he inwardly moved his head back in sadness, giving nothing but a whir in response.

"You sound like a little bumblebee." Yang softly pointed out.

This caused B-127 to glance over to Yang for a moment. With a smile, Yang spoke to him. "I'm gonna call you that from now on. Bumblebee."

The now named Bumblebee looked back to Yang with what seemed to be a glad and excepting expression, taking a liking to the name the human girl had just given him.

____________________________

"It's perfect." Yang said with a bright smile. Sure Vortech already told her he'd be named Bumblebee, but that didn't stop Yang from taking in the moment.

"I think it very much suited him." Penny agreed with a cheerful smile.

"It's kind of cute too." Ruby added in.

____________________________

"Matches your outfit, too." Yang whispered to Bumblebee with a bright smile, softly chuckling as the large, yellow robot let out a hum.

The viewing panned out from Yang and Bumblebee, panning up to the night sky filled with stars and the moon.

The viewing soon started to pan back down as country music started to play.

"🎶All my exes live in Texas🎶"

A gas station named "Guzzlin 'N Gas" was shown next to an RV. Beside the gas station and RV was pale green pick up truck, and a red and black sports car with an engine on its hood.

Clattering was heard within the RV before a middle-aged woman, named Amber, came storming out of the door to  the RV.

"I want a divorce, Roy!" Amber shouted as she stormed off with a suitcase in her hand.

"Come on, Amber. Give me one good reason." Roy, a middle-aged man with shoulder length hair, a beard, and a trucker cap told his wife as he chased after her.

____________________________

"So... why'd we just enter a hillbilly soap opera?" Mercury asked.

"There's gotta be something important that happens here, right?" Emerald asked. "Why else would we be seeing something as random as this?"

"Whatever that may be, I hope it comes soon." Cinder muttered as she looked to the screen with mild annoyance. "I can already tell that this segment will be irksome for my brain."

____________________________

"You tried to sleep with my sister!" Amber yelled at Roy as she continued to storm off.

"Unsuccessfully!" Roy retorted back to her, thinking that would solve things.

____________________________

"That's a definite grounds for divorce." Tai commented as she shook his head at Roy.

"When does being unsuccessful in sleeping with your wife's sister act as any grounds for an excuse of not requiring a divorce?" Winter asked with a schooled, yet scandalized look.

"I'm surprised he's still alive at this point." Glynda said with a schooled look. Though on the inside, she was far from happy with Roy's actions.

"Why stop there? Let him suffer by castrating him." Sienna added in her opinion.

"Ooh. This conversation's turning sour." Qrow said with mildly disturbed look.

"Yeah, maybe keep your revenge fantasies down to a two, please? We're guys too." Roman pointed out with a wince. "That goes for you too, Neo."

'Oh, come on.' Neo signed to her boss with an annoyed look.

____________________________

"Yeah, you're unsuccessful at everything." Amber said as she threw her suitcase into the back of her pickup. "That down payment was for a house. You bought a car."

Amber pointed her hand towards the red and black sports car as the two of them walked over to it as Amber kicked the back-tire of it. "How stupid are you, Roy? We don't need a car. God!"

____________________________

"There's the second grounds for divorce." Qrow said.

"Guy's clearly an idiot, but you gotta admit he has some good tastes." Mercury said as he eyed the sports car.

Cinder couldn't help but to agree with Mercury. She found herself drawn to red and black sports car. Especially with the added hood engine and lights rack on the roof.

"Yeah, that's true. I'm not dignifying Roy it anything, but Mercury's got a point." Yang admitted. "What kind of car is it?"

"That is a 1972 Plymouth Satellite." Vortech said.

"I'm not sure about the name, but it's quite the car to look at, nonetheless." Cinder said as she continued to stare at the cherry-red vehicle.

____________________________

"Now, just settle down for one second and hear me out." Roy told Amber, placing his hand on the trunk of his car.

However, as Amber looked towards him, Roy spotted something in the night sky, something that glowed a fiery orange. "What the hell is that?"

____________________________

""Uh oh."" Yang and Ruby said at the same time, both sisters sharing a look.

"Uh oh? What do you mean "Uh oh?" Ilia asked the two sisters.

"The last time we saw a flaming ball fall to Remnant, it was the pod Bumblebee used." Ruby said with a worry-filled look.

"And towards the end of the first viewing of this universe, two Decepticons found Bumblebee's signal." Yang said with ever growing dread, remembering the cruel visages of Shatter and Dropkick.

"Then that ball of fire is one of those Decepticons?" Ilia asked.

"Most likely." Yang replied.

"That's bad, isn't it?" Ilia asked once more.

"Very bad." Yang answered the chameleon faunus.

____________________________

"What?" Amber asked him as she turned around, only to widen her eyes.

The fiery object came flying down towards them at a fast rate, causing Amber to start to panic. "Oh, God, Roy, that thing is coming right for us!"

"No, no, no, no, no..." Roy repeated as Amber backed towards him, the both of them staring at the incoming object. He then quickly moved away from Amber, and in front of his car. "Not my car. Not my car. Please, God, no, not my car!"

____________________________

"Doesn't want a divorce, yet he couldn't care for his wife." Ironwood said with a deadpan. "This man is a real piece of work."

"I hope his car gets destroyed, just to see him suffer." Sienna said with a scowl.

____________________________

Roy and Amber watched the large, fiery object crashed into the side of an oncoming semi-truck, throwing the large vehicle onto its back and up into flames. The object itself crashing-landed into a nearby silo and causing another explosion.

"Oh, thank God, my car." Roy sighed in relief as Amber looked at the fiery scene in shock.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Amber told Roy in annoyed tone.

"Oh, that's good, baby. That's good." Roy told Amber as he placed his hand over hers.

____________________________

"Dammit." Sienna said with a sigh.

"Someone is most likely dead or very injured, and you're more concerned about your vehicle?" Glynda asked with a seething glare. "The nerve of some people."

"I hope none ever has to marry a guy like Roy." Ruby said with a frown. "That sounds like a punishment more than happiness."

"Here here." Emerald agreed with her while giving Roy a blank stare.

____________________________

The two then looked up to see another fiery object was coming down from the night sky, this time straight towards them.

"Run. Run!" They both yelled as they ran away.

The fiery object crashed into Roy's car and the gas station, causing a large explosion as glass shattered.

____________________________

"Oh. Well, never mind then." Sienna said with a smile as her wish came true.

"Welp. There's goes that beauty." Mercury said as he shook his head in disappointment.

"Quite a shame." Cinder added in agreement.

____________________________

Roy and Amber slowly walked towards the flaming gas station with shocked looks.

"Oh..." Roy trailed off as they looked upon the damage.

Then, to their sudden surprise, a bright light shown out from the wreckage, causing Roy and Amber to shield their eyes.

"God!" Amber whispered as she blocked her eyes from the bright lights.

An engine was heard revving as the shape of a car drove out from the destroyed gas station. It appeared to be the red and black sports car Roy had bought, yet it was perfectly intact.

"Is that my car?" Roy asked as he and Amber watched the vehicle drive out.

____________________________

"Wait, but it got destroyed." Emerald said with a confused look.

"Now might be a good time to tell you guys that Cybertronians scan vehicles in order to transform into them." Yang said as she could recognize that with the red coloring of the now seemingly intact sports car, that was Shatter driving out of the wreckage.

"Something like that would definitely help in maintaining disguises." Cinder said as she showed more intrigue into these Cybertronians.

____________________________

"Hello..." Roy began to call out to whoever was in his car before the sound of another revving engine was heard.

Roy and Amber turned around to see a blue and black sports car pull up behind them. It has an engine atop its hood as well, though it did not have the roof lights that the red and black car had. However this blue and black sports car had a skull and crossbones on the back of it. 

____________________________

"Forget the Plymouth." Mercury said as he smirked at the new blue and black sports car. "What's that car's number?"

"That is an AMC Javelin." Vortech informed Mercury.

"I like the skull and crossbones." Mercury said as he nodded in appreciation for the car.

____________________________

The two cars pulled up next to each other before the red and black one shut off it's lights. Suddenly, the two sports cars started to transform, standing up to reveal Shatter and Dropkick. Both Decepticons now had parts of their vehicular alt-modes on their figures. They both had the faces of their car modes as their chests, with Shatter having the head lights and engine on her chest, while Dropkick had doors for wings.

"Jeez!" Roy exclaimed as he and Amber looked up at the giant robots in shock.

"Remnant." Shatter stated as she looked around with her red eyes.

"Roy!" Amber exclaimed to her husband in fear as Dropkick set his sights upon the two.

"Oh!" Roy exclaimed as well.

"How underwhelming." Shatter told Dropkick with a unimpressed tone.

____________________________

"These two are Shatter and Dropkick." Yang said with a scowl. "Shatter's the red one, and Dropkick's blue."

"So how dangerous are these two?" Emerald asked.

"Last time we saw them, they killed an Autobot by the name of Cliffjumper. A warrior in the same class-range as Bumblebee." Pyrrha said as she looked at the two Decepticons with worry.

"Cleaved him vertically in two." Jaune said with a shiver.

____________________________

"The indigenous life is even more primitive than I expected." Dropkick said to Shatter.

Amber backed away from the two large robots as Roy stood still in shock and awe. Dropkick transformed his right arm into a large cannon of sorts, which flowed a fiery orange.

"Hey..." Roy trailed off as he waved his hand at Dropkick.

The blue and black Decepticon then fired off his weapon upon Roy, causing the human male to blow up as a clear, steaming liquid that splattered all over the place.

Amber screamed in fear at what had happened, gasping as Shatter looked at Dropkick.

____________________________

"Oh, dear God!" Weiss shouted in shock.

"What the fuck?" Roman whispered in horror.

"And there goes my appetite again." Emerald said with a shocked look as she set back down her popcorn bucket.

"What kind of weapon could do that to an organic life form?" Winter asked as she looked at the scene with perturbed look.

"One I don't ever want to be in close proximity to." Pietro shook his head with a frightened look.

"There isn't even any blood. It's like Dropkick superheated Roy and reduced him to some form of... heated, sticky water." Ironwood said as he tried to find the words to describe Dropkick's gun.

"Even I wouldn't have used that kind of weapon on him." Sienna said with a scowl. "Even if he annoying."

"I've seen people die in battle... but I've never seen someone suffer a fate such as that." Ozpin said with a grimace.

"I don't think I have any words to describe how despicable that gun is." Glynda said with a perturbed scowl. "Especially in the hands of someone like Dropkick."

"That gun is just wrong." Ruby shook her head in disgust and horror. "And that's coming from me."

"Wrong, yet effective." Cinder thought to herself, though even she scowled at what the weapon did.

"It's effects are very unpleasing." Penny frowned in agreement.

"No blood. No guts. Not bones." Yang listed off with a shocked and disgusted look. "And yet it's so dark of a death."

"I think I'm gonna hurl." Jaune said as he bent over, breathing heavily as to not puke. Pyrrha helped him a bit by rubbing circles along his back.

____________________________

"Hmm. I like the way they pop." Dropkick told Shatter as he wiped off some of the clear liquid from his legs.

"Focus, comrade." Shatter placed her hand on Dropkick's shoulder, getting his attention.

She brought her left arm up, revealing a red hologram of Remnant, a small part of it glowing yellow. "B-127's distress signal came from the western coast of this continent."

Shutting off the hologram, Shatter looked towards Dropkick. "For now, we head west."

The two Decepticons transformed back into their sports car modes, their tires squealing against the dirt before they drove off into the night.

The viewing cut to Yang asleep in her bed before her alarm clock started to blare. Stirring from her slumber, Yang opened her eyes, moving her hand out to shut off the clock.

____________________________

"I do not like Bee's odds in this situation at all." Yang shook her head with an unnerved expression. "Now Shatter and Dropkick are on Remnant, and who knows what kind of chaos they're gonna cause while trying to find Bee."

"Especially with that horrific gun Dropkick has." Blake said with a scowl.

"I never want to see that thing's effects again." Ilia shook her head with a disturbed look.

____________________________

With an undone robe over her clothes, Yang walked out of her room with a bit of spring in her step. Within the kitchen, Summer was eating breakfast with Ruby.

"When do they start letting you use nunchucks?" Summer asked Ruby.

"I don't know, but I hope soon." Ruby said as she poured herself a bowl of cereal.

"Morning!" Yang greeted Summer and Ruby as she walked past them. "See you guys later."

"Where you off to so fast?" Summer asked her.

"Nowhere." Yang said with a smile as she opened the garage door. "Have a nice day."

Summer and Ruby gave Yang strange looks, not used to her more jovial nature as they then shared a look with each other.

____________________________

"Good news is that Bumblebee seems to be cheering you up." Ruby said with an optimistic smile.

"Yeah. That is good." Yang said with a sigh of relief. "I wasn't the best fan of my counterpart being so distant with everyone. Heh. My moods gone to such a difference that even you and mom are confused."

"We'd probably have the same looks if Blake started acting like that, out of the blue." Weiss said.

"It would be out of character for me." Blake admitted.

____________________________

Entering the garage, Yang held a smile as she began to speak to Bumblebee. "Morning Bu..."

However, she widened her eyes as she found that Bumblebee was nowhere in the garage, the garage door open. "Bee? Bee where are you?"

Breathing heavily Yang walked out through the garage door, just as Summer was entering into her car. "Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. Bee!"

"Where did you go?" Yang asked aloud as Summer started to drive off.

____________________________

"And my anxiety towards the situation is back." Yang said with dilated pupils.

"How do lose a giant alien robot?" Nora asked in confusion.

"He didn't bolt, did he?" Jaune asked.

"I doubt it. Given his amnesia, Bumblebee wouldn't know what much he can and could do." Pyrrha said as she shook her head at Jaune's question. "Not to mention that Yang is the first friend he's made. I doubt he'd willing try to leave her."

Meanwhile, from across Yang's house, Jaune exited his home wearing shorts and a polo shirt, smiling as he read through a comic book. However, he looked up and spotted Yang outside, prompting him to toss the comic to the grass as he stared her way.

____________________________

"Oh... right." Jaune said in realization as a blush slowly dawned on his face. "I have crush on Yang in this universe."

"You're even the freaking boy next door." Yang said with wide eyes. "That's like... the most basic formula for young love teen movies."

"It's a little cliche." Blake said in agreement with her partner.

"He's even Yang's neighbor? Oh, come on." Pyrrha complained within her head, though her outward expression schooled.

____________________________

"Ruby!" Yang shouted for her little sister as she ran back into the house, panting as she ran towards her. "Have you seen my car?"

"Unfortunately, yes." Ruby told Yang as she ate her breakfast.

"No, Ruby, have you seen my car today?" Yang asked Ruby in a hurried tone. "It was in the garage. Someone stole it!"

"No, idiot. Mom took it." Ruby told Yang. "She had to bring Zwei to the vet because he swallowed, like, a rubber glove or something and Summer needed the station wagon."

"Thank God." Yang panted in relief. However, realization dawned upon her face as she turned her smile back into a look of worry. "Wait."

____________________________

"Yeah, that's not good. Especially if my counterpart wants to keep Bumblebee a secret." Yang said with a deadpan.

"How much do you guys think Bumblebee might reveal himself?" Ruby asked with a wincing look.

"Given the fact his mindset might be the equivalent of a curious child at this point, I'd say that it's highly likely." Weiss replied to her partner.

____________________________

Immediately running out through the front door of her house, Yang panted as she quickly walked to her motorbike.

"Uh, hi. Excuse me. It's me again." Jaune said as he tried walking up to Yang, who was starting to wheel her bike out. "We never officially met, but..."

"Yeah, I can't right now. Sorry." Yang quickly told Jaune as she started to go off.

"Nope. Yep." Jaune said as he stood there, watching Yang ride off on her bike. "O-okay."

____________________________

"Oof. That's gotta sting." Mercury said with a mild chuckle. "Little does he know she's currently after a different guy."

"That's the second time I've brushed off Jaune without actually meeting him." Yang said before pointing at Mercury. "Also, don't make it out as if I'm in love-love with Bee."

"The second time? Yikes." Mercury said as he chuckled some more.

"Yeah. I've found that I don't have the best of luck when it comes to girls." Jaune sheepishly said as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I want to get better, but I honestly have no idea how."

Pyrrha cast Jaune an almost pleading look. "I'm right here. You don't need to get better."

"Well, if you want my advice, just go straight into it. No fear. No hesitation. No regrets." Mercury told Jaune.

Emerald rolled her eyes at her partner before looking at Jaune as well. "And if you want my advice, don't takes Merc's advice. He doesn't have all that much luck with women either."

"Hey. Trying is better than doing nothing." Mercury replied to Emerald.

Jaune rose his brow at the two before looking back towards the viewing screen, muttering to himself. "Well, now I'm just confused."

____________________________

Meanwhile, Raven was currently driving Bumblebee with Zwei in the backseat, whom was in a doggy kennel, whining.

"I know, buddy. Hang in there." Raven cooed Zwei with a concerned look as he looked at him through the rear view mirror.

____________________________

"Raven actually showing cars for Zwei." Qrow said as he drank another shot. "It just keeps piling up."

"Well, maybe you should ease up then." Tai told his old friend. "Before you black out."

Qrow stared at Tai, seemingly taking his words to heart for a moment. "Hmm... Nope."

Tai sighed as he shook his head. "What am I going to do with you?"

"At least I'm not alone." Winter said as she felt sympathy for Taiyang.

____________________________

Yang was on her motorbike, driving quickly as she was starting to catch up to Bumblebee.

"You can't eat everything you see." Raven told Zwei. "Just let this be a good life lesson for you."

As Yang was catching up to her mother and Bumblebee, the amnesiac Autobot transformed his trunk into his left hand, waving at Yang.

"Oh, my God. Stop it! Don't do that!" Yang quietly yelled at Bumblebee.

Zwei noticed Bumblebee's waving hand and started barking at it. Hearing this, Bumblebee turned his hand around to Zwei mimicking the dog's barking with fingers.

"Bee, no!" Yang shouted at the Autobot.

____________________________

"That is a really bad idea, Bee. Especially out in the open." Yang said as she shook her head at the Autobot's actions.

"At least Bee's showing he's happy to see you." Ruby said. "Can't fault him for not knowing he needs to be kept a secret."

____________________________

Driving up closer to the driver's seat, Yang gave a nervous smile as she looked at Raven. "Mom?"

"Whoa!" Raven exclaimed in shock, steering off a bit from Yang surprising her. "Jesus! Yang, what are you doing?"

"Mom, you gotta pull over." Yang told Raven.

"What the hell is going on?" Raven asked her daughter ad she continued to drive.

"Just pull the car over." Yang told her mother once again.

"Okay, okay. All right." Raven relented to Yang as she scowled Bumblebee down, pulling up to the side of the road.

Zwei whined again as Yang parked her motorbike behind Bumblebee. Walking up to the robot in disguise, she harshly whispered to his hand. "Would you out that robot junk away? What are you thinking?"

Bumblebee lowered his hand in sadness before transforming it back into the trunk. Yang then walked up to the driver's side of the car as Raven looked at her.

____________________________

"He even made a sad expression with his hand. Now I just feel guilty." Yang said with her arms slumped, a frown dawning her face.

"It's a shame Bumblebee must be kept a secret." Penny said with a sullen look. "I know the feeling well."

"Yang telling Raven what to do." Tai commented as he shook his head with a smile. "If she was here now, I'm certain she'd be proud of her. If in the very least because Yang ordered to do something without hesitation."

"Yang's got your fun side, and she's got Raven's stubbornness." Qrow said with a shrug. "It's bound to happen some day."

____________________________

"You almost gave me a heart attack." Raven chided her daughter. "I thought I was being carjacked. I'm taking the dog to the vet."

"I can't believe you would take him without me." Yang said in the best worried tone she could throw out, causing Raven to give her a confused look. "Mom, I'm so worried about him! He's my dog, too, you know."

"What happened to Zwei being Ruby's dog?" Raven asked Yang.

Sighing with a smile, Yang continued to talk to Raven, giving her the best excuses she could. "Mom, you're being hysterical, okay? You should not be driving in such an emotional state. I know how you get during emergencies."

Giving her daughter a confused look, Raven plainly spoke. "I'm a nurse."

Seeing that Raven had her there, Yang came up with another excuse. "Not of animals."

____________________________

"I'm really grasping at straws to try and give her an explanation." Yang said before giving a small chuckle. "Saying a doctor or nurse isn't a vet is Ruby's level of making excuses."

"Hey!" Ruby cried out to her sister.

____________________________

Raven Rose her brow at Yang before her daughter opened the front door.

"Oh, okay. I'm happy for you to drive." Raven relented with a raised hand as she got out. However, she then raised her finger as she gave Yang a stern look. "You weren't wearing your helmet, by the way. I saw that."

"Oh, shoot." Yang whispered a curse as Raven walked around Bumblebee and got into the passenger's seat.

Entering the driver's seat and closing the door, Yang whispered to Autobot she was in. "Keep it together, Bee."

The viewing cut to a fax machine whirring as a data sheet came out of it. A young man with scruffy dark hair and in military-esc clothing tore the sheet off the fax machine, walking past other personal and hurriedly making he way towards an office.

"Sir?" The man called out to his boss as he entered the office. "Sir. I thought you'd want to see this immediately."

The man handed the paper to his boss, revealing it to be none other than Ironwood, whom now had a scar running down the right side of his face. Ironwood inspected the data sheet before looking back up at the agent before him with a stern look. "They sure?"

"Yes, sir." The young agent told Ironwood. "Two of them just made contact in Texas. Intel says they're heading west fast."

"Saddle up, Simmons." Ironwood told the now named agent Simmons as he loaded his gun. "We're going to Texas."

____________________________

"What happened to your face, sir?" Winter asked.

"That's what I got when my counterpart and his men were ambushed by Blitzwing." Ironwood said with a scowl. "Like his name, it was a literal blitz attack. I can only assume there were very few survivors."

"I see. At least Bumblebee was able to deal with him." Winter replied to her general with a nod.

"The good news is that your counterpart is already into Shatter and Dropkick." Ozpin told the general. "Though I worry for what thoughts he still has in regards to Bumblebee. He didn't have the best encounter with the Cybertronians to begin with."

"Yeah. That's what I worry about too." Ironwood said with a concerned look.

____________________________

The viewing cut back to Yang and Bumblebee, the latter in his VW Beetle mode. They were both alone on a beach, the waves small as they moved against the shore.

"Okay, Bee, we need to go over a few things." Yang told the Autobot.

Sighing as she closed the driver's door, Yang walked in front of Bumblebee, making sure no one else was watching them. "Okay. We're all clear."

Bumblebee then promptly transformed into his robot mode. Though in the process of doing so, he kick up sand onto Yang.

"All right." Yang said as she spit some sand out of her mouth. "I'm re-thinking the beach."

____________________________

"Oh, God. I hate that." Yang said with a groan. "That's why I always tie my hair up when we go to the beach. Less likely to get sand stuck in my hair"

"Sometimes it pays to have short hair." Ruby told her sister.

"I'll tie it, but I'm never cutting these locks." Yang said as she brushed her finger through her hair. "These are perfection."

"Oh, brother." Emerald said with a roll of her eyes.

"Mhmm." Ruby hummed in agreement as she gave her sister a blank stare.

____________________________

Bringing his arms up with embarrassed look, Bumblebee kneeled down to Yang, wiping some sand out of her long, blonde hair.

"Oh, I'm good." Yang told Bumblebee as he continued to wipe sand out of her hair. "No, I'm good, thanks."

Bumblebee finished with wiping sand out of her hair as he stood back up in the embarrassed pose he had taken before.

____________________________

"Awe." Yang cooed at Bumblebee once again.

"That's very nice of Bumblebee." Penny said with a smile. "Now Yang's counterpart won't have a sandy scalp."

"Yeah, like I said. It's not fun." Yang said.

"That's why I usually spend most of my time in the water when I'm at the beach." Pyrrha said with a smile. "Besides, it's not too much fun if all you do is hang around on the sand for the entire time."

"Not unless you want a tan." Yang gave her rebuttal to Pyrrha.

____________________________

"People can be terrible about things they don't understand." Yang told Bumblebee as he focused his attention down at her. "If they find you, they'll probably lock you up in a lab somewhere and cut you into tiny little pieces. It'll be bad, trust me."

____________________________

"Too true." Ilia said muttered with a small scowl.

"Sounds just exactly like Atlas." Sienna snidely remarked, earning a sideways glare from Winter.

"While Yang is not wrong, the entirety of Atlas are not all mad scientists and xenophobics." Ironwood replied to Sienna's remark.

"I've yet to see that." Sienna told Ironwood before looking back at the screen.

____________________________

Bumblebee lowered himself down to Yang's level with a sullen expression as she placed her hand onto his. "The only person you can show yourself around is me, okay?"

Bumblebee gave a whiring nod to Yang in response.

"So let's practice." Yang told Bumblebee as she walked back from him. "You ready?"

Bumblebee nodded as his eyes glowed in excitement.

"If you see anyone besides me; what do you do?" Yang asked Bumblebee.

Quickly responding to this, Bumblebee transformed back into his VW Beetle mode.

"Great. Perfect." Yang said with a smile before chuckling. "Come back now."

Bumblebee quickly transformed back into his robot mode, placing his hands on his thighs as he listened to what else Yang was telling him.

____________________________

"At least he knows the basics." Tai commented.

"Good to see that me and Bee are making sure he keeps himself a secret." Yang said. "Definitely don't want to see Bee taken out by any Decepticons or put on ice by some military all because he didn't realize he needed to remain a secret."

____________________________

"Okay, so let's say we're driving, right, we're driving and all of a sudden..." Yang trailed off as she looked to the side. "Oh, shoot! Somebody's here! Hide, Bee, hide!"

Yang ran behind a large rock behind her, heading Bumblebee whir a bit. Slowly getting up from her hiding spot, Yang saw that Bumblebee was crouched own, his head hurried in the sand.

"You serious?" Yang asked Bumblebee with a disbelieving look.

____________________________

Yang shared her counterpart's disbelief as she face palmed.

"Ah. The ostrich technique." Qrow commented. "Simple... yet not effective whatsoever."

"It seems Bumblebee needs to work on his adaptability to potential situations, especially given his loss of all previous memories and tactics." Glynda pointed out. "Though that does beg the question if he sees this practice session as a serious matter or as just a game."

"It might be the last one." Tai said admitted. "But it at least seems he's trying."

____________________________

Hearing this, Bumblebee looked up before barrel-rolling forward and transforming into his vehicle mode.

"Bee, it's too late. You're already dead." Yang told the large robot as she walked up to him.

Bumblebee responded by transforming back into robot mode, leaning down with his head lowered in shame.

"It's all right." Yang told Bumblebee, placing her hand on Bee's head as he looked back up at her. "That's why we're practicing. You'll get it."

The viewing cut to dry land of Texas as a small jet and helicopter was flying in the air, following Shatter and Dropkick.

"Fox-2 on approach. Non-biologicals are inbound." One of the pilots said over the radio as they followed the two trail-blazing Decepticons.

From within Shatter's sports car mode, she used her visor to scan the jumper jet as it flew by, her visor chiming as hologram of the jet's schematics was shown to her.

With Dropkick, he was scanning the small helicopter, his visor chiming as well as he got the schematics for it.

____________________________

"It's good to see the military is already tracking down Shatter and Dropkick's movements." Winter said with a calm, yet proud smile.

"Yes, but Shatter and Dropkick scanning those two aircrafts concerns me." Ironwood said with a worried look.

"Perhaps they plan on ditching their vehicular modes for something more versatile?" Sienna wagered a guess.

"It's a possibility. Airships are much faster than cars." Ironwood found himself seceding to Sienna's thoughts on the matter. "They could use them to get to Bumblebee at a much faster rate."

"I agree." Pietro said before he adjusted his glasses. "Though I am a bit intrigued by the design of these aircrafts. Particularly the one with the rotating blades above its main body."

"That is a helicopter. More specifically a bell AH-1 supercobra." Vortech informed the old scientist. "The other one is a harrier jump jet."

"A jet? As in the same aircraft that the Decepticon, who General Ironwood's counterpart encounter, transformed into? Blitzwing?" Winter asked.

"That jet was much larger. And more heavily armed." Ironwood said as he stared at the screen.

____________________________

All the way in front of Shatter and Dropkick was a platoon of trucks, tanks, and jeeps with mounted guns. All accompanied by soldiers. Indistinct radio chatter was heard, the jumper jet and helicopter flying off.

____________________________

"Looks like General Ironwood came more prepared, this time." Jaune said as he gave a whistle.

"While Shatter and Dropkick appear to be shorter in stature when compared to Blitzwing, I still have to wonder if that will be enough to stop both of them." Pyrrha said with an unsure look. "I'd imagine given what happened with Cliffjumper, and what Dropkick did to that man, they would be formidable to fight."

"But at the same time, Ironwood knows that the Decepticons are coming this time." Weiss pointed out. "And some of the vehicles there seem to have heavy artillery on them."

"I guess we'll just have to see what happens here." Yang said as she kept her eyes on Shatter and Dropkick.

____________________________

Front and center of the platoon of soldiers and armed vehicles was Ironwood, who wore a pair of sunglasses and and a combat vest. To his right was Agent Simmons, who now wore a beret, and to his left was one Pietro Polendina—slightly younger than the one in the audience, and standing up straight without the aid of a wheelchair.

As everyone awaited for Shatter and Dropkick to drive up to them, Ironwood made sure his assault rifle was cocked, getting a weary look from Pietro.

"The goal, sir, should be to communicate with them." Pietro told Ironwood before he looked forward. "First contact with an alien species. I've spent my whole life waiting for this moment."

____________________________

"Look father! You are in this universe as well!" Penny said with an excited tone. "Not to mention you are younger and can walk."

"And it seems my counterpart shares my same enthusiasm for the Cybertronians." Pietro said with a small chuckle before grimacing. "Though if he knew what Shatter and Dropkick have done, I doubt he'd be as enthused."

____________________________

"If they make one wrong move, we put 'em down." Ironwood stated to his soldiers and Pietro, getting his point across in a stern tone.

Shatter and Dropkick continued to speed towards the platoon of soldiers as Ironwood—who now had his sunglasses off—and Pietro watched.

The two Decepticons transformed into their robot modes as they looked down at the humans below them. However, the Decepticons had a different appearance to them now.

Shatter had wings and jet engines on her back while Dropkick not only had a helicopter cockpit in between his car-hood chest, but he also had helicopter blades and a propeller folded on his back.

____________________________

"Wait. They have the aircraft parts and the car parts in their robot modes?" Ruby asked with an awed look. "What mass-shifting wizardry is this?"

"I thought they'd change their appearance to resemble the jet and helicopter, but I didn't think they would be able to keep everything that resembled their vehicle modes." Sienna said with a schooled, yet surprised look.

"They should have. Whenever Bumblebee scanned a vehicle, every part on him changed to resemble the vehicle he scanned." Yang said as she gave Shatter and Dropkick a confused look.

"That is because Shatter and Dropkick are triple-changers." Vortech told the audience. "Cybertronians with an extra mode outside of their usual robot and vehicle modes."

"Versatile." Cinder commented in intrigue.

"And completely one-sided for Bumblebee." Yang said with an irritated look.

"That's how war tends to be." Ironwood said with a serious look. "Though the act of triple-changing Cybertronians is intriguing."

"If you think that's intriguing, you should see a sextuple-changer." Vortech told the general.

"Sextuple? That means a Cybertronian with six modes, right?" Pietro asked with shocked and awed look.

"Correct. Though among the Transformers' universes, there are very few." Vortech recollected. "The most prominent of these kind of Cybertronians is a Decepticon ninja-warrior named Sixshot. Quite strong. Quite durable. Very skilled."

"What's he like?" Blake decided to ask, perking up at the mention of ninja.

"He kills. He destroys. He eradicates." Vortech listed off. "He doesn't negotiate."

"My kind of robot." Mercury thought to himself.

"Probably should have expected something like that. Especially given what we've already seen from the Decepticons." Blake said with a small grimace, the thought of Adam popping into her head after Vortech's description of Sixshot.

____________________________

Looking to his partner, Dropkick quietly spoke to her. "The humans are multiplying. Please let me kill them."

"Not yet." Shatter whispered back to Dropkick. "B-127's signal has gone silent."

"I have an idea." Shatter quietly told Dropkick as she looked back at the humans.

____________________________

"I don't like her look." Ironwood said with a scowl. "What is she planning."

"Shatter probably intends to hold true to her factions' name." Ozpin theorized as he narrowed he eyes at the femme Decepticon.

____________________________

"Listen up! I'm Agent Ironwood and this is Dr. Polendina." Ironwood introduced himself and Pietro as the latter stared at Shatter and Dropkick in awe. "We currently have a hundred guns pointed right at your head! So state your business."

As Ironwood said this, the audience was shown as every soldier there has shotguns or rifles aimed straight at the Decepticon duo. Everyone ready to fire at a moments notice.

"People of Remnant, we are Decepticon peacekeepers patrolling the galaxy." Shatter declared in smooth voice as she kneeled down the humans' level.

"What-what are you doing?" Dropkick asked Shatter in confusion.

Shatter motioned for her partner to kneel down with him, prompting him to shake in head in annoyance.

"This is humiliating." Dropkick muttered as he kneeled down along with Shatter.

____________________________

"The old boot kissing shtick." Roman said with a nod. "She's gonna try and sweet talk Ironwood and his goons."

"It definitely seems that Dropkick likes to be more straightforward and confrontational." Sienna observed. "Leaving Shatter as the brains of the operation."

"Shatter knows how to be discreet. Even when dealing with those she sees as beneath herself." Cinder said as she hid a smirk. "I like her already."

"Yeah. Her discretion might make things worse for Bee." Yang said with a concerned look.

____________________________

"We believe a dangerous criminal from our world is hiding somewhere on yours." Shatter said as she used to right hand to show a hologram of Bumblebee in his Cybertronian form.

Ironwood stared at the hologram, instantly recognizing the yellow robot.

____________________________

"That's not a good look." Qrow commented as he gave Ironwood a sideways glance.

"It seems this counterpart of mine is going to have similar feeling to the Cybertronians as my dwarven counterpart has for elves." Ironwood said with a grim look.

____________________________

"How is it you think we can help?" Pietro asked Shatter, getting Ironwood to look at him.

____________________________

"And my counterpart is so caught up in wonder that he's falling right into Shatter's hands." Pietro told Ironwood with dread-filled concern

____________________________

"We need your eyes." Shatter said with her arms spread out, looking to the sky as she and Dropkick stood back up.

Ironwood glanced between the two Decepticons before recognizing what Shatter meant. "Wait. You want access to our satellites?"

"Our scanners' range is limited." Shatter told Ironwood as she crossed her arms behind her back. "Your infrastructure is primitive. But combined, they could be quite powerful."

"Now way!" Ironwood denied as he shook his head. "Out of the question!"

____________________________

"How important are these satellites?" Ironwood asked.

"They're basically the CCT, but more widespread." Vortech said with an even tone. "And they're in space."

"This Remnant has acquired space travel?" Pietro asked with an awed expression.

"Not much to take notice of. They've only ever gotten their moon." Vortech said with a scoffing chuckle. "Amateurs."

"Well you may think it's subpar, but it's still quite the feat when compared to home universe." Pietro told Vortech.

"Space travel aside, if the Decepticons are allowed access to these satellites, who knows what they could do with them." Ozpin said with worry in his tone. "They could learn all kinds of secrets and leave Remnant defenseless."

"This is a deal with the devil, if I've ever seen one." Glynda stated with narrowed eyes.

____________________________

"We have a common enemy, Agent Ironwood." Shatter told Ironwood with narrowed eyes. "There's a war raging on our planet. If B-127 isn't found, that war may find its way here."

Ironwood was about to retort to Shatter, only to be interrupted by Pietro to raised to fingers in front of the agent as he walked up before the two Decepticons. "Perhaps... we can find a way to help one another. We'll talk it over with our superiors. In the meantime, if you could follow us."

Ironwood gave Pietro a strange look as Shatter and Dropkick looked towards the scientist. "Very well, friend Polendina. Take us to your leader."

____________________________

Penny frowned at Shatter. "I do not like the way she used the word friend. Not one bit."

"She even said "take me to your leader." Mercury said, ignoring the situation at hand. "They've checked off the classic alien encounter list."

"This is just fantastic." Yang exasperated in sarcasm, throwing her hands to the air. "They're framing Bumblebee, and now the Cons may get the government on his back too."

"It's bad, yes, but in all technicalities, and I hate to admit this, Shatter is telling the truth." Blake said with a grimace.

"Who's side are you on?" Nora asked Blake with narrowed eyes.

"Been asking myself that since I got here." Ilia thought to herself as she looked at Blake.

"Yeah, Blake. What are you talking about?" Yang asked her partner. "Shatter's clearly lying. We all saw it."

"She lied about herself and Dropkick being peacekeepers." Blake reminded Yang. "Everything is true, to an extent. Where it comes to what she said about Bumblebee, she's speaking the truth—to an extent. The Decepticons have overrun Cybertron, and are hunting Bumblebee. They see the Autobots as traitors to Cybertron, thus making the Autobots criminals in their eyes."

"She's right." Cinder added into the conversation. "And with Bumblebee on Remnant, the Decepticons can bring their war to our world."

"Oh, that's just bull shit." Yang said with a glaring look.

"What Yang said." Ruby agreed with her sister. "Shatter's lying and telling the truth at the same time. So many things can go wrong for everyone if the government ends up believing the Decepticons."

"Sadly that's how wars go." Ironwood said as he entwined his fingers, resting his chin upon them as he cast a schooled expression, though inwardly he was sighing. "Not only can the flow of information decide factors within a war, but the victors of wars can twist whatever tale they want to. It's cruel, but that's how it is."

"That's just... that's just wrong." Ruby said with a grimace. "On so many levels."

____________________________

Pietro had a smile as he face as he walked back, sharing eye contact with Ironwood for a moment before continued to walk away. Ironwood, on the other hand, still held an untrusting look at the two Decepticons before walking back with Pietro.

Seeing this, Shatter gave a nod to Dropkick, her plan having worked.

____________________________

There was a common collective of dread within the minds of most of the audience. Shatter's plans were going into effect, and it would undoubtedly lead to trouble.

'Something wicked this way comes.' Neo signed out with an even look.

"Thus far Shatter's plan for using Ironwood's government for her own mission is going off without a hitch." Cinder thought to herself as she inwardly smirked. "She's earned my respect. I knew I had a good feeling about that sports car she scanned."

____________________________

The viewing cut to a forest with many tall trees as Yang and Bumblebee walked through it.

"Must suck being cooped up in a VW Beetle all day, huh?" Yang asked Bumblebee, prompting him to look down at her. "Is there anyone that can help you? Do you have a family? You know, like a mom, dad, siblings? You all love each other?"

After saying this, Yang then looked down. "Or drive each other crazy and you can't wait to get away and start a whole new life."

____________________________

"Driving each other crazy is just apart of life." Yang said in rebuttal to her counterpart. "It just shows how much you all love each other."

"I can say we've had our fair share of arguments." Ruby agreed with her sisters before smiling. "Nothing we couldn't fix afterwards."

"I wish I could say the same with my family." Weiss told Ruby and Yang. "Aside from Winter, I could agree with how Yang's counterpart feels."

"Well, that's what you got us for, Weiss." Ruby said with a smile as she wrapped her arm around Weiss's shoulder.

"I feel crazy around you guys as well." Weiss said with an even look. "But... I'll admit I can tolerate you three much better."

Yang rose her brow before glancing at Blake. "That's a compliment, right?"

"In Weiss's case, I think it is." Blake replied to her partner with the same amount of confusion.

____________________________

Bumblebee looked down at Yang as they continued on their walk. However, electricity started to crackle under the left fender of his chest. He tapped it with his finger to try and stop it.

Looking up at Bumblebee, Yang spoke to him. "Do you want me to see if I can fix it?"

Bumblebee gave an uncertain and nervous glance to Yang.

"I'll be gentle, I promise." Yang softly told the yellow Autobot.

____________________________

"That's what she said." Mercury coughed into his hand.

"Screw off." Yang rolled her eyes at Mercury.

"Now you know what I have go through on a day-to-day basis." Emerald told Yang with a blank look.

____________________________

Yang was next shown wrenching out what held the fender to Bumblebee's chest before removing it. Looking to see what was behind the fender, Yang spotted a hole with a lot of sparking wires.

"Whoa." Yang said in a soft voice as more electricity crackled.

Bumblebee was sitting down on the ground with his legs out, looking outward as Yang continued to inspect the problem.

"You lay down, okay?" Yang told Bumblebee, prompting the large Autobot to lie down on his back.

"Hold still." Yang told Bumblebee as she put her hand into the hole in Bumblebee's chest, digging around through it. "I think maybe there's something..."

Just then, Bumblebee arched his back as a holographic beam shot out from the hole, causing Yang to quickly move back. Bumblebee and Yang followed the holographic trail of light as it formed a glitching image of Optimus Prime.

"B-127, I pray this message finds you." The hologram of Optimus spoke, his voice distorted from the holographic projection glitching out.

____________________________

"Who is that?" Penny asked in awe.

"That's Optimus Prime. The leader of the Autobots." Ruby said with a smile.

"The only word to describe him is just pure awesome." Yang said with a glint of excitement in her eyes. "We only saw him for a short amount of time, but he was total badass."

"Definitely has the disposition of a leader." Winter said as she found herself... strangely inspired by Optimus's voice alone.

"Never have I heard a voice so sickeningly heroic." Cinder thought to herself as she kept her scowl hidden. "But I sense something... powerful about him. Something that might even rival Ozpin and Salem."

____________________________

Yang stared up at the image of Optimus in confusion and shock.

"Our war rages on." Optimus said as the transmission started to break. "...planet Remnant... survival."

Hearing and seeing this, Bumblebee widened his eyes as he began to recall some of his memories.

Bumblebee was back in the escape pod, watching with a saddened look as Optimus stayed behind to keep the Decepticons at bay.

Optimus ran off of the falling platform and onto the Seeker tetra jet, causing it to spiral a bit as he directed the Decepticon downwards as the ginormous tower fell down behind them.

____________________________

"Now this is the type of action I like to see." Mercury said with a smirk as he preened in his seat.

"Their world truly is made of metal." Pietro said in awe at first, before he eyes furrowed a bit. "But it appears as if it's surrounded in destruction."

"Living machines with immense firepower, battling all over their world." Winter said with wide eyes. "There must be chaos everywhere."

"It was a shocking sight to behold when we first saw this universe." Ironwood told his specialist. "I have never seen a battle so widespread as what we saw. Which I could only assume would be the same as two to three city blocks, by a Cybertronian's standards."

"The Cybertronians' war truly is something frightening." Ozpin said. "Which is all the more reason to worry about Shatter and Dropkick."

____________________________

Optimus led the spiraling Seeker into a nearby building, causing it to crash in an explosion. Optimus have a grunt as he leapt off from the crashing Seeker and onto the grated ground below him.

With a roll, Optimus stood back up, firing at a nearby Seeker that attempted to shoot him. Optimus then kicked away another Seeker before shooting another in the face. Another Decepticon Seeker came running at Optimus, only for the Autobot leader to grab him by the chest and fire his ion blaster straight into him. He then lifted the head Seeker over his head before barrel-rolling towards another Seeker that was shooting at him. Optimus jumped up and twirled over the Seeker, grabbing him by the head before landing on his feet to shoot at another Seeker. Once that Seeker was dealt with, Optimus tossed the one he held off to the side.

____________________________

"I've said it once, and I'll say it again. Optimus is a badass." Yang chuckled with and excited smile.

"He's definitely quite the fighter." Sienna said with an impressed look. "Optimal reaction time as well. I can see why he's the Autobot's leader."

"He's very skilled. In compare to Cybertronians, he must be equivalent in skill to the most experienced of huntsmen." Winter said as she too was in awe at Optimus's fighting capabilities.

"He just barrel-rolled onto the ground, used his blaster to shoot at every Decepticon Seeker, like, pew-pew! Bang-bang! Blam! POW! And flipped over a Decepticon while knocking him out, and shooting another Decepticon!" Ruby rambled on in awe. "I could only ever hope to get skills like that."

"Ain't that the truth." Jaune agreed with Ruby as he found himself staring at the screen with a large smile.

"He is a pretty kick-ass fighter." Emerald admitted as she found herself entranced to the viewing screen, eating from her popcorn bucket once more.

"You got that right." Mercury said in agreement.

____________________________

"Ravage, eject!" Soundwave shouted, gaining Optimus's attention.

____________________________

Emerald and Mercury immediately froze upon hearing the familiar monotone voice. They shared a look before discretely glancing at Cinder.

Cinder, on the other hand, scowled upon hearing the voice. "Soundwave..."

____________________________

Optimus watched as Soundwave's chest opened up, shooting out a large, cassette-tape like object that transformed in black, grey, and red mini-con in the shape of a jaguar that had blasters attached to his hind-legs.

____________________________

"He had a robot jaguar inside his chest?" Roman asked with an owlish look. "And was did it transform from a cassette tape?"

"Everyone, meet Ravage. He is of the Cybertronian sub-species known as Mini-cons." Vortech informed the audience. "Soundwave is known to have quite a few in most universes he appears in."

"How many does he have?" Cinder found herself asking, wanting to learn more of the Cybertronian she disliked.

"Let's see... aside from Ravage, there's Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Ratbat, Rumble, Frenzy, Squawktalk, Beastbox, Wingthing, Enemy, Slugfest, Overkill, Garboil, Howlback..." Vortech listed off his fingers. "Just to name those that are know to be employed with Soundwave."

"Geez. How much backup is Soundwave packing?" Yang asked with a shocked look.

"And do they all fit in his chest?" Nora asked.

"Yes." Vortech answered with a straight face.

"Wait. Which question are you answering?" Yang asked in confusion. "Mine, or Nora's?"

"Yes." Vortech answered once more.

____________________________

Ravage growled as he ran straight towards Optimus. Optimus fired at the mini-con, only for Ravage to dodge and lunge onto the the Autobot leader, sending him to the ground.

With his blaster tossed away, Optimus tried to bat away the mini-con as Ravage hopped onto him and tried to bite at his head. Optimus responded by giving a strong right-hook to Ravage, sending the mini-con back.

____________________________

"Bad kitty." Ruby chided Ravage.

"All those Seekers, and a metal cat knocks Optimus off his block." Nora said with annoyed look. "Explain that."

"Ravage is the most effective and efficient of all of Soundwave's mini-cons." Vortech stated.

"I don't know whether to be proud or scared." Blake said.

"Ravage could probably give a Beowulf a run for his money." Port commented.

"And some of our first-year students." Glynda added in.

____________________________

Ravage tumbled back before quickly finding his footing, growling at Optimus as Soundwave and Shockwave slowly walked up to the Autobot leader, with Seekers at their side.

Optimus stood up, getting into a fighting stance as the Seekers started to run towards him, part of the group including Shatter and Dropkick. They all started to encircle the Autobot leader before the memory finished playing in Bumblebee's mind.

____________________________

"Damn. They all went after him." Tai said with wide eyes.

"You see what all he did?" Qrow asked with a small chuckle. "I'd be shocked if they went at him one by one."

"What's even more impressive is that Optimus was able to escape form all that." Pyrrha said with an astonished expression.

"Wait he escaped from all those Decepticons?" Emerald asked in shock.

"From what Shatter and Dropkick said when they interrogated Cliffjumper, Optimus was able to escape Cybertron." Yang said with her own awestruck look.

"A testament to his might." Sienna said with a nod. "I can respect that."

"Optimus Prime does seem to be one anyone can aspire to." Ozpin said with a smile. "Brothers' know that I could have had someone like Optimus to aspire to in my darkest hours."

____________________________

Back to the present, Bumblebee continued to look up his leader's hologram.

"...your mission... soldier... I..." Optimus's hologram continued to distort before cutting off, the holographic light retreating back into Bumblebee's chest.

Bumblebee glanced around a bit as Yang had a shocked look to her. "Are you okay?"

Bumblebee softly groaned in responses as Yang walked back up to him. "Who was that? That voice said something about a-a-a war."

Bumblebee glanced over to Yang, and uncertain look in his eyes as he began to sit up.

"Do you remember anything?" Yang asked, though Bumblebee had not response as he stared forward. "Is the VW Beetle some kind of disguise?"

Bumblebee had his eyes lowered as he looked back at Yang. "Are you hiding from something?"

Once more, Bumblebee had not answer as he continued to look at Yang. With a worried expression, Yang asked once more. "Are you scared?"

Bumblebee stared at her before lowering his eyes and head, scratching at the radio in his abdomen as it crackled and warbled.

____________________________

"All of that fighting and destruction." Penny said with a sullen look. "And Bumblebee can't remember much of it."

"I wish I was there to give him a hug." Yang said with a soft expression. "I know my counterpart is with him, but still."

"A war that big, and he's stuck with amnesia? Can't say I blame Bumblebee." Ilia said with a sympathetic look. "I'd be scared too."

____________________________

Kneeling down to look at the radio, Yang spoke. "It's broken."

"It's okay." Yang softly told Bumblebee as she placed a hand on his shoulder. "I think I can help."

Bumblebee chirped as he looked at Yang, who gave him a kind smile in return. "Let's go home."

Yang grabbed her backpack, placing it back upon her shoulders as she and Bumblebee began to leave.

"...and a basket case." Spoke of voice of one Allison Reynolds on a tv in the garage if Yang's home. As she spoke, John Bender was shown walking across the high school football yard.

"a princess..." spoke the voice of Claire as John raised his fist to the air as he walked forward.

"And a criminal." John said.

"All right, I'm almost done." Yang said as she worked on a car radio within the corvette.

"Does that answer your question?" Brain asked on the tv.

Yang looked towards Bumblebee, who was transfixed on watching the Breakfast Club on the tv.

"No way." Yang said in disbelief to Bumblebee. "Are you actually watching it?"

"🎶Don't you forget about me🎶"

Bumblebee responded by turning around and raising his fist to the air, mimicking John Bender. This caused Yang to chuckle at him before going back to the radio.

____________________________

"Bumblebee's first Remnant movie. And he's even mimicking it." Yang said with a chuckle. "Can't say I know what it's about, though."

"Breakfast Club." Vortech stated.

"What?" Yang asked.

"That's the name of the movie." Vortech said as he looked down towards her.

"What kind of movie is called the Breakfast Club?" Mercury asked with a raised brow.

"Short of the story is a bunch of students with clashing personalities spend time with each other in detention." Vortech summarized the movie with a rather bored tone.

"That actually sounds interesting." Pyrrha mused the aspect of the movie.

____________________________

"🎶Don't, don't, don't...🎶"

"You can pop in another one if you want." Yang told Bumblebee.

Acknowledging this, Bumblebbe looked through the draw of VHS tapes before spotting one labeled: "Yang Dive Meet." Picking it up with his larger fingers, Bumblebbe analyzed it before popping it into the VHS player.

____________________________

"What'a this?" Yang muttered to herself with a hint of intrigue.

____________________________

Bumblebee then awaited as the tape began to play. Yang was shown in a one piece, pink dive suit while wearing a blue diving cap. She had a nervous look as she stood atop a tall diving board.

"Whoo! Come on, sweetie!" The voice of Taiyang Xiao Long cheered his daughter on, causing her smile at him.

Hearing this, Yang immediately stopped what she was doing and looked towards what Bumblebee was watching.

____________________________

"That's... not a good look." Blake said with a concerned tone.

"Oh hey, it's me before I... died." Tai pointed out, starting off with an upbeat tone before trailing off in realization of the situation.

"That's not going to go well with my other self." Yang winced at the screen. "Especially with how she acts."

"Besides that, apparently you were on a diving team in this universe." Ruby said, trying to alleviate the situation.

"Never though that'd be something I'd ever do." Yang said, though she gave some thought to the prospect.

____________________________

"You got this, Yang girl!" Taiyang cheered his daughter on some more.

Taking in a deep breath, Yang raised her arms over her head before diving from the board, doing several backflips as she dove into the water. The small crowd cheered her.

"All right, Yang girl!" Taiyang cheered some more.

Yang watched at the video with a frozen look as it continued.

As the crowd continued to cheer and applaud Yang, Taiyang brought his camera to face himself as he also showed his daughter, whom swam up to him. "Hello, Brighton Falls. This is Yang Xiao Long, future Olympic gold medalist."

____________________________

"Nice form." Glynda complimented.

'7.5/10.' Neo signed.

"What are the Olympics?" Yang asked.

"Think Vytal festival, but instead of students beating each other into a pulp, it's all about sports." Vortech explained.

"That sounds interesting." Oobleck said as he wrote down in his notes.

"These Olympics sound as if it might even be more vigorous than the Vytal festival." Pyrrha said with intrigue in her tone.

____________________________

Taiyang gave a thumbs up to the camera as Yang raised her head out of the water, laughing at her dad. "That was so perfect."

"Thanks, Dad." Yang told her father.

"How do you feel?" Taiyang asked his daughter.

"I feel great." Yang responded as she hung by the edge of the pool.

Yang then promptly got up from the corvette and moved towards the tv. "No, no, why would you play this?"

Yang immediately shut the tv off, causing Bumblebee to shy away from her angered tone.

____________________________

"Saw that coming." Yang said as she shook her head.

"That video must be PTSD for your counterpart." Weiss observed.

"I think anything with my Dad's voice would cause my counterpart to stir up." Yang told Weiss.

____________________________

Seeing that she upset the large robot, Yang apologized. "Sorry. I just... I finished."

She held up the car radio she was working on, showing to Bumblebee. Bumblebee looked at the radio before standing up.

"Let's see if we got something." Yang said as she looked up at Bumblebee.

Yang cleared her throat as Bumblebee watched her grab a stool to get up to his chest.

"Okay." Yang said as she got on the stool. She knocked against the lower part of the front hood that was centered on Bumblebee's torso, prompting it to shift up a bit to reveal the car radio.

Yang then started to removed the broken radio that was in Bumblebee's chest as he watched. He looked down to her as she fully unplugged it.

"Okay." Yang said once more as she inserted the new radio. "All right."

She then turned the dials on the radio, causing to turn on as radio static played through. It was only like this for a moment before a synthpop song started to play.

"Oh, my God, yes!" Yang cheered with a laugh as she looked up at Bumblebee. "It worked!"

Bumblebee raised his head, seeming to take a liking to the music that played as he shifted his body a bit to the motion of the song.

"Look at you go." Yang said as Bumblebee seabed his arms a bit to the music. "Bee, you got some moves."

____________________________

"Whoohoo!" Ruby cheered Bunblebee on.

"I swear he gets cuter every minute." Yang chuckled in amusement. "You go, Bee!"

"I quite like the tune of this song." Penny smiled as she danced her feet around her seat.

"It's very upbeat." Weiss added as she found herself tapping her foot to the music.

____________________________

Outside, in the dark of night, Jaune pulled up his house with his bicycle, looking to the direction of Yang's house as the music that played could be heard a bit from outside. He saw the light shining in the garage as a large shadow moved around in it.

____________________________

"Oh, it's just painful how much of a crush you have on blondie." Mercury shook his head to Jaune.

"Yeah... I just hope I don't turn stalkerish in my actions." Jaune said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

____________________________

"🎶Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say🎶"

"You know, Bee, music can help you say what you're feeling." Yang informed Bumblebee as she searched through a box of cassette tapes, pulling one out.

"🎶I'll say it anyway
Today is another day to find you🎶"

"You're gonna love this." Yang told Bumblebee as she walked up to him, taking out the cassette from its casing. "It's brand new."

"🎶Shying away...🎶"

The synthpop song immediately stopped upon Yang inserting the cassette into Bumblebee's radio, causing an indie rock song to play on the stereo.

Yang stepped back as she watched Bumblebee take in the music.

"🎶Girlfriend in a coma,
I know🎶"
"🎶I know, it's serious🎶"

While Yang bounced a bit to the beat, Bumblebbe did not, from which he promptly shot the tape out of his radio, causing it to fly past Yang.

"Not a Smiths fan." Yang commented as she looked to where the tape landed.

____________________________

"Geez. Give a girl a warning next time." Yang half-joked at Bumblebee.

"I agree with Bumblebee. I much prefer the popsynth song." Penny said with a pout.

"He probably didn't like the coma part of the song." Blake suggested. "Given his own mental issues right now."

"Probably." Yang said nodded in agreement.

____________________________

"Okay, um..." Yang trailed off as she went back to the tape box, looking through the cassettes. "Here."

"Try this." Yang said as she inserted another cassette.

Promptly a dance-pop song played on the stereo, one that Yang moved around a bit to with a smile.

"🎶Never gonna give you up...🎶"

Bumblebee didn't like this one either as he shot it out before the song could even get past ten seconds. Yang ducked over the the cassette that was shot out from the radio as the tape hit the tool wall, causing a few tools to fall down.

Yang got back up before rolling her eyes at Bumblebee. "Fine."

____________________________

Yang stared at the screen with wide eyes as she rubbed her throat. "Okay, that could have killed me."

"Death by cassette tape ejection." Ilia said. "That's a new one."

"Actually I kind of like the sound of the last song." Penny said as she glanced up, taking in the tune of the third song.

____________________________

"Okay, where's my Stevie Nicks?" As Yang went back to the cassette box, Bumblebee's eyes started to wander around the garage. "Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Stones."

As Yang continued to browse her cassettes, Bumblebee spotted a shelf filled with vinyl records. He walked towards it, flipping through the records with his fingers.

Yang looked over to see what Bumblebee was doing, spotting him going through the records. "Hey, hey, please don't touch those. Please."

This has caused to Bumblebee to moved back with a nervous appearance as Yang walked over to him and the records shelf.

Yang looked up at Bumblebee before looking over to the records. "They belonged to my dad."

____________________________

"Figured I'd get vinyl. Now those are the true classics." Tai said with a nostalgic chuckle. "Whatever happened to listening to records?"

"It's the age of technology, Tai. Everything's smaller and more compact than it was." Qrow told his friend, speaking to him as if he were a kid. "We now listen to playlists."

"Real funny, Qrow." Tai rolled his eyes to his old teammate.

____________________________

Yang slowly walked over to the records shelf, pulling out a vinyl that had a smiling, dark-skinned man on the cover of it. She chuckled softly as she looked at the record before looking up at Bumblebee. "Do you want to hear it?"

Bumblebee responded with a soft nod of his head prompting Yang to walk over to a record player. She opened it up before removing the record from its casing, setting said casing beside the record player as she placed the vinyl dial onto the platter of the player. Moving the tone-arm onto the disk a souls song started to plat as the vinyl turned.

"We used to listen to this while we'd work on the Corvette." Yang whispered to Bumblebee as he walked up to her.

"🎶Oh, my love,
My darling...🎶"

Bumblebee crouched beside Yang as she sniffed her nose in sadness. "It was his favorite."

____________________________

"Oh, this is going to get mushy. I just know it." Emerald thought to herself with an annoyed look.

____________________________

"🎶I've hungered for your touch
A lonely time🎶"

"He used to say it would make the car feel better." Yang said with a sad smile.

"🎶Time...🎶"

Yang and Bumblebee then both looked over to the Corvette as the former walked over to it.

"🎶...goes by so slowly🎶"

Yang sighed as she stared at the Corvette. "We used to work on this car every weekend together."

"🎶And time can do so much🎶"

Bumblebee walked over to Yang as she stared at the photo of her Taiyang. "It was our thing."

"🎶Are you still mine?🎶"

Yang sighed in sadness as she looked back at Bumblebee, pointing to the VHS player. "That tape..."

Yang exhaled as she glanced off to the side, tears threatening to fall from her face. "That was the last time I saw him."

Bumblebee tilted his head at Yang before crouching down to her level.

"He died of a heart attack." Yang said as tears started to fall. "I never got to say goodbye."

____________________________

Yang felt a large pant in chest upon her counterpart's words. "I... I didn't even get to say goodbye?"

"Damn." Tai said with a pained look. He cast a glance to his daughters, his thoughts filled with dread as to what might happen should they lose him, or if he would lose them.

Ilia looked to the screen with a sad and heartbroken expression, knowing she never got to say goodbye to her own parents.

Yang continued to stare at the screen in frozen shock. She was like this until she felt someone leaning onto her shoulder. Glancing over, she saw Ruby giving her own sad look as she hugged onto Yang's arm.

"I'm right here if you need a hug." Ruby gave a soft yet sad smile to her older sister.

Yang returned the soft smile as she rubbed her sister's head. "Thanks, Rubes."

____________________________

Bumblebee's eyes lowered in sadness and sympathy for his new-found friend as she continued to reminisce. "You know, I always thought that if I could just finish fixing this car... if I could just get it to start up again, he would hear me."

Tears ran down Yang's face as she looked up with a saddened expression. "He would hear me."

____________________________

At this point in time, Yang was resting her head on Ruby's, both of them slowly shading tears.

Ilia started to shed a few tears of her own, doing her best to cover it up by wiping her eyes.

Blake's thoughts were taken to her own father. Her own parents. She couldn't help but wonder how much pain they must have been in when she ran away. She frowned as she looked to the floor, a face filled with regret.

Weiss looked to the screen with her own sullen look. While she didn't love her father as much as any daughter should, she couldn't help but fear what would happen if she lost other members of her family. Winter, her mother, even Whitely.

Ren held his own thoughts to what was occurring in the viewing. He remembered how he lost his mother and father. How his mother died to their collapsing house, and how his father sacrificed himself for Ren to escape. While he did his best to hold a calm expression, he was shaking a bit in his seat. He found himself calming when Nora rested her head on his shoulders, the ginger bomber having her own saddened look.

Even Roman found a few of his heart strings being pulled at. For the time, though, he gave no outward emotion. That wasn't until he felt Neo resting her head on his shoulder. Roman looked to her, spotting that, like him, she didn't show any outward emotion. But the fact she clung to his arm like a child to a parent told him enough. And so, Roman decided to reciprocate Neo by gently rubbing the top of her head.

Ozpin had a more harrowed look to him. His situation was in the reverse to what Yang's counterpart was going through. Once upon a time, he had four loving and caring daughters, and the woman of his dreams. Now having all gone. Destroyed by the first shots of the shadow war he fought every day since.

Pietro glanced down to Penny, noticing that she looked sad while watching the scene unfold. He smiled sadly at her. Within his mind, he worried what Penny would go through on the day he died. Pietro was far from a spring chicken, and he wouldn't be around forever. With that said, he didn't know what he would do if he ever lost Penny.

Taiyang continued to hold a distraught look upon his face. Watching Yang's counterpart break down about how much she missed his dead counterpart struck ever cord within his body. It reminded him of how he was when Summer never came back from her mission.

Tai blinked a bit as he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to notice Qrow was responsible for the gesture, the usually drunk huntsman giving Tai a nod of sympathy and understanding, all ready guessing what his old friend was going through.

Tai smiled back at Qrow, nodding to him as to return the gesture.

____________________________

Yang sighed heavily as she rested her hands on the door of the Corvette.

"🎶Oh, my love...🎶"

Bumblebee lowered his eyes as he reached out his hand to try and comfort Yang, hesitating a bit. Yang looked back, spotting the gesture Bumblebee was trying to make before sniffing and moving towards him, hugging her arms around his neck as she rested her head on his chest plate.

Bumblebee responded by gently hugging his hand on Yang's back, looking at her before closing his eyes. For the entire moment, Yang did not leave Bumblebee's embrace, nor did Bumblebee with her. Yang let loose her tears as she laid her head against her robotic companion, closing her eyes.

And with that, the viewing came to an end.

____________________________

Many in the audience were either in tears or held sullen looks to their faces.

Glynda found herself sniffing her nose a bit as she wiped away a few tears, rubbing her eyes under her glasses.

Oobleck did the same as her, though his demeanor was much more composed. Though, unlike him, Port was letting loose his watery eyes.

Winter had similar thought to her younger sister. Though her face was schooled, it had been softened due to Yang confiding in Bumblebee.

Ironwood had not cried during the scene. Neither did Sienna Khan. But that did not mean neither cared for scene. As hardened by battle as they were, though, they still understood the pain one felt when loosing a loved one.

Pyrrha was crying at the scene as well, thinking to what may happen should she ever lose her mother or father. She blinked in confusion a bit when she felt a hand wipe away a few of her tears. She looked over to see Jaune had been the one to do so, the young Arc sadly smiling at her. Safe to say, Pyrrha found her spirits lifted a bit, smiling back at her team leader.

Yang and Ruby warmly smiled at Bumblebee embarrassing the former in her arms, tears still running down their cheeks.

"Yep... this is awkward." Mercury muttered between himself, Cinder, and Emerald.

It was these three that had showed not much emotion during the overall scene. Cinder didn't care for who her birth parents were, especially with the life being orphaned had got her. Mercury never knew his mother, and his father was cruel and wicked. Emerald... well, despite her original thoughts as to what had occurred, she couldn't help but drift her thoughts as to who her own parents were, and why they left her to live as a street rat. The mint-haired girl scowled as she drove those thoughts away.

Vortech scanned his eyes throughout the audience, observing every sad look, every crying face. He gave out a sigh as he rolled his eyes while shaking his head. "God, this going to take while. I hate waterworks."

Author's notes:

So here's the next chapter for Bumblebee. I hoped you all liked it. Sorry if the ending seemed a bit abrupt, but I felt it was a nice way to end the chapter. When it came to scenes with Yang and her family, I mainly kept the reactions within Yang and her family, given that it wouldn't make too much sense if everyone else commented on how they were living. That and it gives Yang some more things to think on. I still left the larger scale and diverse reactions for whenever the audience saw the Transformers.

So anyways, with that said, here's the puzzle that will clue you all in to what the next chapter will be:

9–13  19-15-14-9-3. 1  12-9-20-20-12-5  2-1-12-12  15-6  5-14-5-18-7-25  9-14  1-14  5-24-20-18-5-13-5-12-25  8-1-14-4-19-15-13-5  16-1-3-11-1-7-5

Until then, farewell, Rule Breakers.
