Nothing like your family being the ultimate cockblocks.

Ushijima Wakatoshi x Reader

For @dontfuckwpigeons !! I hope you like it!! I recognized your username and realized you were one of the first people to ever send me a request </333 !!! Sorry it took me so long to get to this,.... Ah, my brain is all Ushijima right now,,,, I wrote about 5k for him today HAHAHA ,,, only for my Wakatoshi!

SMUT // NSFW

W - 2,204

~~~

“Wakatoshi!” You exclaim and wrap your arms around his waist, it’s been too long since you’ve last seen him. “I’ve missed you.” Ushijima takes one look at your pouty lips and loving eyes and can wholeheartedly agree that it has been too long.

You glance up at him and then at your stairs, darting your eyes back and forth between the two. Ushijima slowly turns to look at the stairs, his curiosity gets the best of him. He looks back down at you and nods, giving you all the confirmation you need.

That’s how you end up in your room, on top of him, kissing him with your entire being.

“You don’t know how much I’ve missed you,” You whisper and flip all your hair to one side of your neck, you drag your clothed core along his own while ghosting your lips along his jaw. Already, you can feel him hardening in his pants and it sends a lick of heat straight to your belly. “I’ve missed you so much." You bring your lips to his, capturing them in a fierce kiss. Your hand cradles his jaw so you can tilt his face, giving you better access to control the kiss. Ushijima’s large hands grip your hips, pulling you along his clothed length, dragging you slowly so that you can feel everything. Your tongue snakes past his lips, molding with his own before tracing the back of his teeth.

You feel so hot, the temperature in the room is blazing and it’s only getting warmer.

Muffled moans sound throughout the room, your sweet ones mixing in with Ushijima’s low noises. You keep moving your hips, grinding against him with purpose.

The front door of your house opens quietly and you barely even hear it, you would’ve missed it completely had your mother not called for you.

“(Y/N)? I’m back!” Her voice rings throughout the house and you reluctantly pull away from Ushijima. You dip your head and rest it on his chest as you try to catch your breath, fuck you didn’t realize anyone was going to be home.

You push yourself off of your boyfriend while eyeballing the tent in his shorts, your hand reaches out to pat him gently before winking at him.

“Already? I have Ushijima over.” You yell back after opening your bedroom door, your mother goes silent for a few moments.

“What are you two doing upstairs?” She comments curiously and you refrain from rolling your eyes.

“Homework since we still have school, how was work?” You ask as you walk down to the front door where she is.

“It was alright, not that many people have been coming by the bank.” She smiles cheerfully and you awkwardly scratch the back of your neck. “Don’t mind me, okay? I’m going to be in my office working from home.” She pats your head before heading straight to the other room, glancing at you once before closing the door. “Say hi to Ushijima for me~”

You stand there in the hallway of the front door and blink owlishly. Ushijima comes down the stairs and stands behind you, with one glance at his shorts you still notice the slight bulge. You point to his shorts and Ushijima raises a brow, an unspoken conversation going on between the two of you.

“Oh, I have to take a call so you two need to be quiet.” Your mother warns as she pokes her head out from behind her office door. “Hi Ushijima, how is your mother today? I saw her the other day at the grocery store.”

You glance back at your boyfriend and subtly shuffle to stand in front of him, making it almost impossible for your mother to see his shorts.

“She is doing well, I am sure she would be happy to hear from you.” Ushijima smiles back politely and your mother places her hand over her heart.

“I’ll have to call her then.” She glances back at you and narrows her eyes. “You two behave.” She warns again and then goes back to her office, when she finally closes the door you lean back against Ushijima.

You let out a sigh of relief and simply relax against his chest, purposely rubbing your ass against his bulge. Ushijima stiffens behind you. His hands automatically grab your hips to stop you from moving but it doesn’t work. You turn around in his arms and wink at him again before making your way to the kitchen.

“Do you want to make something, I don’t know like, bake cupcakes?” You ask and Ushijima spins you around, pressing you back against the counter as he lowers his head to kiss you. It’s fast and quick, taking all the air from your lungs. You reach up to wrap your arms around his neck, a muffled moan escaping you as he presses himself further into you.

One of his muscular thighs rests between your own legs and you happily grind against it, squirming like you can’t get enough. Ushijima gently bites down on your bottom lip, sucking it into his mouth as the grip he has on your chin tightens. It all feels so good-

“What’s up, fuckers?” Your older sister slams open the front door. You gasp and pull away from Ushijima, wiping your mouth with the back of your hand as you try to smooth down your hair. One glance at his shorts and you can already see the tent rising back up. Fuck.

“Yuki, how many times do I have to tell you not to slam the door!” Your mother yells as she pokes her head out of her office.

Quickly you grab Ushijima’s hand and sneak into the living room, you push him down onto the couch before sitting in his lap. At the pressure of your ass on his hard cock, your boyfriend releases a quiet groan and tightly grips your thighs. You turn around to flick his forehead while trying to silence him, not realizing that you moving like this is just making it worse.

“What are you guys up to?” Your sister peeks her head into the living room and coos at the sight of you and Ushijima. “Aren’t you two just the cutest.” She gushes and sits down on one of the other chairs in the room.

“Not much, what did you do today?” You warily glance at her, noticing the familiar teasing look in her eyes.

“Literally nothing,” She groans loudly and picks up the controller. “ooh let’s rewatch Attack On Titan.” Ushijima lowers his head onto your shoulder and you awkwardly pat his thigh. “What? You guys don’t have to watch it with me, just go up into your room or something (Y/N).”

You would if you could but judging by the boner you’re sitting on, you two won’t be able to go anywhere.

“No, let’s watch it. I’ve been meaning to anyway!” You lie straight through your teeth and your sister glances at Ushijima, a bold smirk appears on her face.

“Well then, let’s begin.”

You barely get through the first episode before you realize you are bored out of your mind, Levi doesn’t even show up for the first nine episodes so what is the point. Judging by how engrossed your sister is with the characters in front of her, she isn’t going to go anywhere. Silently you beg that she leaves for the bathroom or to get a snack so you can sneak Ushijima back upstairs.

Nothing like that happens and before you know it, you’re already on the third episode. You shuffle around on Ushijima’s lap, despite the way he tries to keep you still, moving so that you can lay down and cover his lap with your thighs.

“Why do you guys watch this shit?” Your mother opens the door and glances at the tv with a grimace on her face.

“It’s not shit, mother.” Your sister sneers and turns to her. “It’s art.”

“Right, well, I want to go out for dinner. Yuki let’s go.” She leaves the room and your sister looks around.

“Why do I have to go with you?” She snorts and rolls her shoulders back arrogantly before looking at you. “Make (Y/N) and Wakatoshi come with us.”

“I never get to see you Yuki, you come back from college and avoid me!” Your mother yells and the groan your sister lets out rings throughout the house.

“You should be offended that she doesn’t want you two to come.” Your sister flicks you off before following your mother out of the house. A loud slam signals their departures plus the sound of your mother scolding your sister for once again slamming the door.

You glance at Ushijima and wait a few moments before even deciding to move, it seems too good to be true.

“Really?” You whisper and point at the tent in his shorts. “You still have a boner?” Ushijima simply stares back at you, a deadpan expression on his face. You roll your eyes and stand up from the couch, grabbing his wrist to pull him up as well.

“I forgot my fucking wallet.” Your sister yells and slams the door open once again. You throw yourself back onto the couch, splaying yourself all over Ushijima’s lap. “uh-huh.” She eyes you two oddly before picking up her wallet from the chair she was sitting in.

After her descending footsteps, the door slams again and you freeze as you try to listen for any other noise in the house.

“Are they actually gone?” You whisper and Ushijima tenses underneath you.

“I don’t know,” His fingers comb through your hair and you sigh appreciatively. You glance up at him and then at the stairs and once you get that familiar nod, the two of you are sprinting back up to your room.

That’s how you end up back on your bed, this time with Ushijima’s head between your legs and your hand covering your mouth.

“Oh, Wakatoshi,” You sigh loudly and Ushijima nips your thigh, you have to stay quiet.

“Quiet,” Ushijima warns as he thrusts his fingers into you.

“I-I can’t, I don’t even care if they hear me.” Your hands tighten in his hair and your thighs squeeze around him. Ushijima shakes his head before closing his lips around your clit. He sucks harshly on the little bud and it causes a high-pitched moan to slip past your lips. You can’t help but tighten around his fingers, just having Ushijima close to you is enough to make you cry out.

Ushijima rolls your clit with his tongue, the noises vibrate throughout the room as he slurps all he can get.

Neither of you has any shame.

His thick digits curl along your walls, stretching you deliciously and another mewl escapes your lips.

“Just like that Wakatoshi, I can’t,” You whimper and squeeze your eyes shut. You genuinely do not care if your family hears you right now, you don’t even know if they are back in the house. All you can focus on is Ushijima’s hot mouth devouring you whole. “yes. Yes!”

Ushijima’s name falls from your lips over and over again as you grind your core into his face, your back arches off the bed.

“Please, more,” You beg and Ushijima slips in a third finger, his tongue laps at your clit to soothe the stretch and your head begins to cloud over with pleasure. One single curl of his fingers is enough to make you rise off the bed, holding his head so he continues to suck on your clit. “I’m cumming Toshi~”

Ushijima continues to thrust his fingers and stimulate your clit, he works you through your orgasm to prolong your high. His favorite part is watching you bloom. Once you finally settle down and Ushijima has had his fill, he gently pulls his fingers out of you. He sucks on his digits while staring up at you and you groan at the sight, pressing your ass into the sheets as you clench around nothing.

In a second, your mind realizes how loud you were being and you cover your face with a pillow.

“They probably heard everything, they’re going to kill us!” You whisper, quietly screeching about your family, and Ushijima simply tilts his head at you. “Don’t just stand there, fuck me one last time before we die!”

Ushijima shakes his head and gets up to hover over you.

“They aren’t even home,” He tells you and you raise a brow at him.

“What do you mean?” You ask curiously and reach over to grab your phone, expecting some kind of teasing response from your sister.

It simply read : this hag is dragging me to an onsen, see you in the morning! Mom said no toshi for the night but honestly, do whatever you want!

“I didn’t hear them come in yet.” Ushijima reports and you toss your phone to the side before wrapping your arms around Ushijima’s neck and bringing him down so you can kiss him.

“They’re not coming back tonight,” You tell him excitedly and Ushijima simply blinks at you. “we don’t have to worry about them interrupting us.” You slowly continue to explain and Ushijima nods his head. You reach up to peck his lips before gently tapping his head. “Get to work!”

The best i came up with for silver's abilities is that it's a short range melee stand that's strong enough to pick up a lot of things, and has weaker shockwaves that can go out farther but its weakness is that its slow and clunky and imprecise (possibly explaining why it doesnt punch things a lot?) so unlike the usual cleverness of a stand user, silver gets more reach by just throwing things at people, like the equivalent of okuyasu using the hand to get closer so he can punch you better hahaha

(side notes - silver's stand is a punch ghost explaining why he cant' make it just go around amy in that one cutscene but not explaining why it can pick up so many things at once and making me imagine it having really big stretchy hands or lots of hands) (and its a good thing sonic is not a stand user or he'd be able to hear silver's awkward stand clomping around everywhere or see it glowing or something)

(third and final side note blaze has a stand too and it is literally just white album but in reverse)

hmm yeah, i see where you’re coming from for silver. and i think there’s a quote from araki floating around somewhere saying that there’s definitely a smart way to use a stand vs. not. it’s about how you use your abilities to your advantage.

i like the idea you have for blaze, but i also raise you the idea of her stand being like abdul’s magicians red.

Red Alert (RWBY/RVB) by Necroceph

*RVB Opening Theme*

At the Blue Base

All has gone quiet. An aqua colored helmet, hold by an armored hand, peaks out from cover to see if the sniper reacted to it. Nothing. The hand shakes the helmet to if he reacts to its movement. Nothing. Church puts the helmet back, exposing himself out of the open before jumping left and right like a mindless fool. Still nothing. He let out sigh of relief as it would seem the sniper has stopped shooting for whatever reason.

Church: Okay, guys. You can come out now!

His two teammates did as they were told. Tucker is shocked by the experience. That sniper, whoever the hell he is, meant serious business. And as for Caboose, is still the good old Caboose.

Church: Everyone okay? Tucker: Holy shit, that was intense! I think a bullet just scratched the side of my helm. One more inch, I would've been killed! Church: Caboose? Caboose: I think I got a cut on my pinky. Ouch. Church: That's a yes. It's a good thing none of us got shot but goddammit, do they need to add more holes on our base! Tucker: So what do we do now? Church: Don't know. That sniper of theirs suddenly stopped shooting, and it could possibly be Grif. If I know him well, that fatass could be having another snack time again.

Church grabs his binoculars and looks through it to see what's happening out there on the Red's base. On it are three Reds, two of them he recognized but not the other, who is lying on the concrete floor with a sniper rifle in his hands. He noticed that he isn't wearing a helmet, however, due to the distance from here and there and the rifle the sniper's holding, he couldn't get a good look on his face. Don't tell me the Red's have another newbie in their gang, thought Church. And aside from that, is that a mini pyramid made out of sniper magazines beside him?

Tucker: Well, is it Grif? Church: No, it looks like the Red's aren't the only ones who got a new rookie. Tucker: They got a new member too?! Wow, Blood Gulch is turning a holiday destination. So what's he look like? Church: Don't know, I can't see his face that clearly. But the good news is, he really isn't shooting at us anymore. See.

Church hands out the binoculars to Tucker. The Teal One looks through them and surprised to see the pyramid of magazines. But what really caught his attention is what's beside the mini pyramid, a helmetless sniper. The hair's what caught his attention. Like Church, he couldn't clearly see the face but that doesn't stop him from guessing the sniper's gender.

Tucker: Well hello there babe. Church: What? Tucker: Nothing! Caboose: What's happening? Church: That sniper of theirs stopped shooting. Guy must've used up all of the Red base's sniper rounds. Tucker: No shit. He made a pyramid out of sniper magazines. Caboose: Oh that's good! Can we spank 'em back? Church: And go out there turning ourselves into swiss cheese? Not a chance! Plus, I wanna try spending a whole year not becoming Casper the Unfriendly Ghost. Caboose: How long did you not become a ghost? Church: Eight months. Tucker: Wait a minute, we don't need to get out there and go guns blazing. Church: Your point is? Tucker: We counter-attack with 'that'

Tucker points Church to the mystery rifle, once again being cudled in the idiot's arms.

Caboose: Don't worry, Sheila II. Everything's going to be alright. Church: Oooh, hehehehe. Caboose, get as many sniper rounds as you can and bring 'em back here. Caboose: Oh right! It's feeding time for Sheila!

At the Red Base

CLICK CLICK CLICK

Ruby kept repeatedly pulls the trigger to continue firing, but no shots came out from the barrel. Her fifty-eighth and last magazine has gone dry. She creepily turns her head slowly to Sarge and Lopez still standing still behind her. Lopez, despite being a robot, slowly backs up a bit when the sight of her demonic eyes made contact with his optics. Sarge, as the grown soldier he is, isn't phased by this but is gravely concerned for his favourite markswoman's sudden personality change.

Ruby: Magazine... now... Lopez: ¡Esas son todas las rondas de francotiradores que tenemos en la base!

Ruby shots up from the floor before walking towards Sarge and Lopez.

Sarge: Ruby, I order you to stop! You're acting strangely and you require some psychological treatment from me!

Ruby responded to her superior with a menacing glare. Sarge makes a second thought about the psycho treatment and moved to side to give the brunette way. Now she's heading towards Lopez. The poor bot's fear chip starts to heat up as he witnesses Mictlāntēcutli's child heading straight towards him. Perhaps she's now crossed at him that he couldn't give her anymore bullets.

Lopez: Realmente, eso es todo lo que tenemos! Sr. Sarge, haga algo! Sarge: Well, Lopez it's nice knowing you.

Lopez turns his optics off, bracing for the terrible fate that awaits him! But instead of Ruby tearing him apart, bolt by bolt, she walked passed beside him. Ruby then descends down the stairs but before she enters the base, she asked one thing from Sarge.

Ruby: Permission... to use... Mongoose. Sarge: Uhm... permission granted?

Ruby stood still for a while before continuing her way down.

Sarge: Well that was something. Lopez, I'm dissapointed in you. You should've told me something was wrong with Rose! Lopez: Al menos el hijo de Mictlāntēcutli se ha ido. Sarge: It looks like the sight of the Blue's holding her weapon has somehow triggered an animalistic instinct within her. Like a mother bear whose cub got kidnapped by a pack of hungry mountain lions and went on a rampage on them! Lopez: Entonces, ¿qué hacemos ahora? Sarge: If you mean, 'what's next', nothing. Lopez: ¿Qué? Sarge: Think about it, Lopez. The Blue's are the mountain lions who kidnapped her cub a.k.a her rifle, she'll pour all her anger onto them and tear them apart like hot butter! Lopez: ¿Crees que es una buena idea dejar que luchen contra ellos solos? Sarge: The Blue's don't have time to react when Ruby shows up at their doorbell. Get a bucket of popcorn, and some chairs as well!

BANG!

Sarge: WHAT IN SAM HILL?!

The sound of concrete shattering caught both of their attention before another chunk of concrete get's blasted nearby. Sarge quickly ducks onto the ground, however for Lopez, the third shot pierces through his neck. The shockwave of the shot erupts his neck, causing his head to fly off from his body. His head landed right in front of his superior before the bullets began flying above them.

Lopez: Que pasó ?! Sarge: Damn those, Blues! They're now using Crescent Rose against us! Thieving barbarians!!!

Sarge puts two of his fingers on the side of his helmet to contact the Warthog team.

Simmons through radio: Yes, Sarge? Sarge: Simmons, how far are you to the base? Simmons through radio: We're stopping by at a tree, sir. Fatass here forgot to do his business before we left! Grif through radio: It just kicked in! Sarge: Well tell that idiot to hurry up! The Blues are unleashing a counter-attack with Crescent Rose on us, we're being pinned down! Simmons through radio: Yessir! Hurry up, Grif!

Back at the Blue Base

Caboose continuosly pulls the trigger as he fires at the Red base. He fires the cartridges last bullet before loading up a new magazine while singing Ten Little Unggoys, counting each Unggoys with each shot he fires. This puts a smile on Church as he witnesses the mayhem Caboose unleashes through the binos. He laughed when one of the shots obliterated the sniper's mini magazine pyramid.

Caboose: ~One little, two little, three little Unngoys, four little, five little, six little Unngoys...! Church: Hahaha! How's it feel to have hole on your walls, biatch! Tucker: How they holding up out there? Church: Take a look at yourself. Schnee is seriously missing out the fun. I have never been so happy for months! Tucker: Really? Hey, Caboose. I wanna try it out! Church: Oh no you don't, I got a sniper rifle and I should try it first! Tucker: Says the guy who can't even land a single shot at something. Church: Fuck off! You just wanna use it to hook up girls don't you? And I doubt it'll work on Schnee this time. Caboose: Here you go. Church: Fuck! Tucker: Oh yeah-hah, baby. Let's do this!

Tucker grabs the rifle. He lies down on the same spot Caboose was lying and begins aiming for a target. Sarge, wherever the hell he is hiding now, is just too easy so he waits for the other Reds to come out. Grif? Got shot too many times by Sarge. Simmons? His skull's covered in layer of steel. Donut? Well he did made one hell of a choir during one of those nights. So Donut it is. Except for that sniper, cause if he's really a girl, he plans to hook up with her later.

Church: What are you waiting for 'Teal One'? Shoot something already. Tucker: Not yet. I'm planning to shoot Donut right on the ass. You're gonna hear high-class choir. Buahahaha! Church: Donut? Hold on a sec!

Church takes a look at the Red base again. He examines it, top to bottom. The only Reds he sees are Sarge and Lopez, but no sign of the Simmons, Grif nor Donut. Not just them, the Warthog's nowhere to be seen too!

Church: Oh fuck. Uhm, guys? Their Warthog's gone. Tucker: So? Come on out you pink piece of shit.

[Los Dos Laredos Acordeones Playing In The Distance]

Tucker: Guys, will you keep it down? I'm trying to concentrate here. Church: Like I thought. Caboose: Uh oh! Tucker: Huh?

The Blues turned around to the source of the god awful music. There they spotted an incoming Warthog with a familiar trio of idiots riding on it before the gattling gun begins firing at the Blues.

Donut: Eat this, you rotten thieves!

BABABABABABABABABABANG!!!

Church, Tucker and Caboose: SON OF A BITCH!!!

All three quickly duck down. The bullets missed their mark, but the walls fall victim to enemy fire once again. Once it got close to the base, the Warthog starts to circling around as it firing at them with no signs of stopping.

Church: First a sniper, now a MACHINE GUN! Is this day getting any worse? Simmons: Suck it, Blues! This is what you get for stealing our rifle! Church and Tucker: ...Steal?! Caboose: Santa steals weapon so he can give them as presents?! Does that mean he gets himself a lump of coal?

On the Warthog

Grif almost lost concentration on the wheel by what Simmons cried out.

Grif: What was that for? Simmons: I'm trying to get along with the situation. You should too. Grif: I can't believe we're doing this! A rescue mission for a weapon is the stupidest thing that has ever happened in military history! All thanks to us! Simmons: SHHH, shut up! Donut's with us! Donut: ~You get a bullet, and you get bullet, and you get a bullet, we all get bullets! Grif:Sorry!

Back to the Blues

Tucker: Was I hearing things or did Simmon's just said we stole their rifle? Caboose: We did? Church: No we didn't! Those assholes left it here! Tucker: Okay, thing's are starting to get a little confusing. Church: Hey, dumbassess! We didn't steal you're rifle!

Back to Simmons and Grif

Girf: Agh, crap. They heard us! Don't just sit there, keep 'em quiet before Donut hears them! Simmons: Got it! Hey, Blues! Here' something you should've steal!

Simmons takes a frag grenade. As they got close enough, Simmons pulls the pin and throws the grenade high to land on the roof.

TICK TAK!

Even with the sound of gunfire from the gattling gun, they were able to clearly hear the sound of dropping by a light object. They slowly looked to the source to see a horrifying sight of an unpinned grenade right in front of of their visors!

Tucker: Aw shit. Church: JESUS CHRIST!!! What the- Caboose!

Caboose, without warning, quickly gets up and grabs the grenade. He rushes to the edge but instead of throwing it out, he throws the grenade up into the air before grabbing the mystery rifle that had been left lying on the floor.

Caboose: Get away from Michael J. Caboose and friends you big bullies!!!

As the grenade fall in the air, Caboose smacks the ball with the rifle once it drops in front of him like a baseball player trying to hit homerun! With his inhumane strength, the grenade is launched with such extreme velocity that it almost went into lightspeed flying straight to an unsuspecting Donut who is still firing while also being distracted by the enemies base's terrible condition.

Donut: My God, the Blue's base could use some- huh?

The high speed grenade hits the Red's helmet, so fast that it creates a dent deep enough for the grenade to get stuck into his helm. His energy shielding was able to save his skull from shattering into pieces, but impact was still enough to knock Donut into a daze.

Donut: Oh, pretty lights... hohohooo!

Donut not only begins to loose his consciouness, but also the gun he is firing. His finger's still pulling the trigger! The weight of his unconscious body pushes the still firing gun causing it to aim lower and unintentionally shooting at the Warthog's dashboard. Grif and Simmons cried out in genuine terror by what's happening between them.

Grif: DONUT, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?! THE BLUES, NOT US! Simmons: LOOK OUT!!!

Grif turns back to the front. They're heading right to the Blue's wall! He quickly slammed on the breaks but was too late as the Warthog crashes onto the concrete wall. The crash caught the Blue's attention. They looked down from the roof and witnessed the accident that had befallen on the Reds.

Church: Caboose... that was the most epic thing I have ever seen in my life. Caboose: Neat! Grif: *Groaning* Simmons: Grif? Grif: Yeah? Simmons: I hate you. Is Donut okay?

Both looked at Donut now lying on the gattling gun before spotting a grenade stuck on his pjnk helmet! Simmons and Grif screeched in horror, fearing that the small ordnance would explode at any moment. But a second passed, it didn't.

Grif: Why didn't it explode? Simmons: I think it misfired. Grif: Well that's terrific! How do we pry it out of him? Church: Okay, nobody move! Simmons: Uh, Grif? Grif: Huh? Oh shit.

Simmons and Grif looked up to see the Blue's pointing their guns at them from the roof. And Caboose is holding Crescent Rose. How ironic for the very weapon they stole and used to be pointing right above them.

Grif: Wait, don't shoot! If you wanna shoot someone, shoot Simmons! Simmons: No shoot, Grif. He caused this accident! Church: We're not shooting anyone. Grif: Oh thank God. Church: You're gonna tell us why you think we stole you're rifle and more importantly, why was it in our base this morning! Grif: You should've kept quiet. Simmons: Shut up, fatass.

Back at the Red Base

Through the binoculars, Sarge is very disgruntled to sees his own men pathetically tied up and taken hostage by the Blues.

Sarge: Dagnabbit dammit! They failed me, Lopez! They failed me! Lopez: Todo esto por un solo rifle. Que desperdicio. Deberíamos haber esperado la noche y colarnos en su base para rescatarla. Sarge: If we don't bring it back soon, they'll begin the reverse engineering process! There's only one person we can now rely on. Lopez: ¿Crees que el demonio se va a manejar sola? Sarge: Not me, someone has to be in Command.

Sarge contacts Ruby through the comms.

Sarge: Rose, are you ready?

Sarge hears nothing but heavy breathing and weapons loading up through the comms. He doesn't what's going on through the other, but he can tell Ruby's getting ready.

Sarge: I'd say that's a yes.

Back at the Blue Base (again)

Caboose and Tucker looked down at Donut's unconscious body to make sure he doesn't wake up, but the main attraction is the grenade stuck on his head. This is the second time Donut had one stuck on his head.

Tucker: Okay, what you did was seriously over the top awesome. By the way, how did you know the grenade misfired? Caboose: The grenade didn't miss, it already landed on his head.

Leaving with their discussion, we move to Church procceding with the interrogation of the Reds. He wants answers, now!

Church: Alright, you got ten seconds to explain everything or I'll shoot you both in the face! Grif: Question are you going to shoot us with a shotgun? Church: No just this Magnum. Yes, Simmons? Simmons: Hate to break it to you, but the bullet in that thing can't penetrate my metal skull. Church: Then I'll shoot you through eyes! Now talk! Grif: Okay okay! But first make sure Donut doesn't wake up. Donut: Ugh, what happened?

Just when Donut was about to regain consciouness, Caboose smacked him right on the head, knocking him out again.

Caboose: Good night! Grif: That works too. Simmons: Donut doesn't know what we both did, but it's best to keep it that way. Church: Don't know about what? Simmons: You want the short or the long story? Church: As long as you punks talk. Simmons: Long story it is... GASP!

Several minutes of explanations and reactions later

Church is not happy after hearing the two Red's entire story. Hearing this revelation made him want to shoot them in their faces right now but he's got plans for them.

Church: So it was you idiots who caused all this mess!!! Grif: Blame the genius here, I'm just a gun tester. Simmons: You're the one who decided this base is the perfect target! Grif: You also decided to keep it here just to frame the Blue's. Simmons: All because you don't want a few shells on your face! Church: That's enough you two! I don't care who did it first, I'm still holding you both responsible for this! Grif: Of course we are. So can you untie us now, cause I gotta get back to take a nap for my Oreo binge tonight. Church: No way, I'm not letting you both go while this base is in a state like this! Grif: What? Simmons: Wait, you're not saying- Church: While you're our imprisoners, I got a perfect job for you two! Grif: Hold on, you want us to fill up every bullet hole here? Yeah, but no thanks. Simmons: We really need to get back to base before Donut wakes up. Church: Or maybe I'll just tell Sarge everything about this and tell him there's been a big misunderstanding.

Simmons and Grif looked at each other for a moment before turning back to Church.

Simmons: On the second thought, I think a bit of manual labor doesn't hurt at all. Grif: Yeah, working hard does give a guy good rewards. Hehehe, ...SNIFF... huhuhuh... just.. don't tell Sarge okay? Church: Good. But what about Donut? Simmons: Well you can bring him back along with the rifle. Also write a letter that in exchange for them, you'll have us as your prisoners for a while. Church: Then it's a deal! Wait here you two, while I bring back the...

Before Church could get the stuff so that the Red prisoners could start working, he spots something from afar.

Church: Uhm, before you guys start working. Let me ask you one more question. Simmons: Fine, what is it? Church: Who the fuck is that?

Church points at the field. Both the Reds turn their heads to what he's looking at. From the distance, it looks like someone's riding on a bike. They could see the rider clearly from here. It is a Red wearing a long crimson cape riding on the Red's mongoose. With him is an arsenal containing a M41 SSR MAV/AW rocket launcher on his shoulder and a MA5B assault rifle hanging behind his back. He can't tell if he's imagining things, but are those red lights shining through his visor?!

Grif: Wait, is that Sarge? Simmons: Sarge doesn't wear capes. Grif: Oh it's Rose. What help can a snotty nosed brat like her do anyway? Church: Who's Rose? Tucker: YES!!! I knew she's a chick!

Then the Red makes a move. She aims the rocket launcher high and fires two barrages of rockets out of it. The rockets are flying in arc aand heading their way down to the Blue base! All have noticed the incoming projectiles coming towards them and jump to the sides before they made impact. The explosion of the rockets creates a massive hole in the roof, revealing the base's interior. Simmons gets up and shouts angrily at his teammate.

Simmons: CUT IT OUT YOU STUPID BITCH! YOU'RE GONNA MAKE OUR JOBS WORSE!!! Church: Now you know how we felt. Caboose, I got another target practice for you. Another Red duck! Caboose: Duck hunting time!

Caboose takes position and steadily aims at the incoming Red. Once the enemy is in his crosshairs, Caboose prepares to fire.

Caboose: Bye bye ducky!

One pull of the trigger. Nothing happened.

Caboose: Huh? Church: What are you waiting for? Fire!

Caboose tries again. The gun still refuses to fire the target!

Caboose: Church. What do you call when something's not working? Church: 'Not functioning', why? Caboose: Rifle's not functioning. Church: What?!?! Caboose: It won't fire! See!

Caboose turns back to Church. He pulls the trigger to show Church that it couldn't fire at all. That is when a massive blast of muzzle emmitted through the barrel right in front of the armored Aqua, shooting him right in the stomach! Church, now in ghost form, witnesses his cold dead body drop down onto the concrete floor. Church stood still, trying to resist the explosive anger within him.

Caboose: Oh nevermind it's... Church: Don't... say... A FUCKING... word...

Note

For the DVD commentary meme: the last scene of The Imperfect Vessel, or the last two paragraphs of BCS's first chapter, or this from Bone to Ash: "(Mei’s mother was the fourth daughter of a lesser branch family; Mei’s father was the seventh son of a main branch family once overflowing with far too many children. Mei was never meant to inherit either of her birthrights; Mei was never meant to be much of anyone at all.)"

Hahaha, you’re sort of cheating a bit: the last scene of The Imperfect Vessel is several hundred words! but OK:

Tsunade woke up screaming, and she didn’t stop for a long, long time. She wasn’t in the dark room anymore; she wasn’t anywhere she recognized either. She was lying under a red moon in a dark sky, she was naked, and she was absolutely covered in blood. She could feel the tacky texture everywhere: on her face and in her hair, between her breasts and her thighs, in the crooks of her elbows and knees, and in the webbing between her fingers and toes. (In a lot of ways I think the idea of an inner space where the Tailed Beast and the human sacrifice meet was overlooked in canon and fandom. Naruto’s inner world is a sewer, of all things: can you think of anything more horrible for a boy living on the precarious edge of poverty? Tsunade’s worst fear is blood and failure - the place where she met the Kyuubi would have to reflect that.) There was not a single inch of her that was clean, and Tsunade wanted nothing more than to shuck off her filthy body like a ruined set of robes and leave, although she couldn’t possibly begin to say where she wanted to flee. Only the desire to escape existed in Tsunade’s mind. (tbh, I felt this was super-repetitive, but I was flagging a bit when I wrote this part)

Suddenly, a loud and terrible roar overpowered Tsunade’s own screams. Tsunade bit her own tongue to quiet herself, and as the roar continued unabated, pushed herself up on her trembling legs. A terrible comet was burning in the sky, and in the bloody burning light, (I enjoyed writing this far too much! I miss the old days when the Kyuubi was more regularly described as a force of malice and destruction, so this was my homage to that) Tsunade finally saw where she was. It was a plain, like the one outside the city gates of Rain, and littered across it was innumerable still bodies. Tsunade knew in an instant that if she were to check the bodies, the faces would be far too familiar. (and here is the second part of Tsunade’s fear. Failure on the battlefield is maybe too literal, but I’ll have other opportunities to talk about Tsunade’s fears in the future)

As the blazing comet grew ever closer to the ground, Tsunade closed her eyes and covered her face. Every mouthful of air she snatched up tasted like old blood; everything smelled like carrion. The light grew harsher and harsher, and Tsunade wondered wildly if Mito was failing, if she was going to die here.

Shizune, she thought. Who will care for Shizune if I am gone? (Tsunade is such a mess when we meet her; how could she have ever taken care of a child? But as soon as she has a purpose and a cause once again, she turns around. So I assume at least in the beginning of her exile, Shizune was the focal point of her concentration)

And then with an earth-shattering crash, the comet made landfall. Tsunade expected to burn; Tsunade expected to die. Neither happened, and when she opened her eyes, she saw…Rain. The proud towers of that great city, the strong walls that encircled it - it was all there, glowing a malevolent pulsing gold. And in the center of the city, something was pacing, a creature of roiling chakra and immense rage. For an instant, Tsunade and the Fox (for who else could it be?) stared into each other’s eyes over Rain’s impossible walls. For an instant, Tsunade thought of nothing at all, not even the blood and bodies that covered her mindscape. (the kyuubi is awesome, in the original meaning of the word)

And then the fox opened it’s mouth wide and screamed, louder than before, and Tsunade fell into darkness once again. (….and a cliffhanger! of course the next chapter opens onto Tsunade waking up a third time, alive and pissed as hell)

The last two paragraphs of the first chapter of BCS:

And one by one, Kagami let the illusions blanketing the grounds fall. Danzo and Torifu had always sworn a blue streak when he used this on them, called it cheating, of all things. Kagami preferred to think of it as cultivating a strength: the ability to be unseen, even in the sight of the Sharingan, was nothing to sneer at. (OK, I’m not going to lie, I wanted to write a Hokage who was a genjutsu master, instead of more bullshit ninjutsu or taijutsu crap. Genjutsu in general is one of the least-used ninja skills in canon and fanon, it’s so disappointing) As Uchiha after Uchiha suddenly appeared, finally visible to the naked eye, (I was going for a very particular image there) the boy flinched, uncertain, and as Kagami let the last two illusions fade, the masked figure couldn’t quite choke back his gasp. On Kagami’s right, stood Kakashi; on his left, stood Rin. Both of them were as strong and straight as new saplings. He was very proud of them. (I wanted to contrast Obito, who was twisted and tortured by someone who should have damn well known better, to his teammates, who survived something terrible, but were guided something stronger than before. Naruto’s meta story, such as it is, is about adults nurturing - or more commonly, destroying - the next generation, and I wanted to make a point of that)

“Chuunin Uchiha,” he said mildly. “I think you should give us your report, now.” (this was the first line I wrote for this story, and I still think it’s a good one)

Bone from Ash (aka the only story from my entries to Sumigakure’s Halloween challenge to not get a single comment (>___

(Mei’s mother was the fourth daughter of a lesser branch family; Mei’s father was the seventh son of a main branch family once overflowing with far too many children. Mei was never meant to inherit either of her birthrights; Mei was never meant to be much of anyone at all.)

We never really see Kiri as anything more than a setting for terrible things to happen to the main characters, or as a just-so story ninja from the mainland tell each other to make themselves feel better about themselves. But there’s enormous potential for stories here, as @genericnarutoblog has pointed out. I really wanted to encapsulate both a glimpse of happier times for both Mei and Mist in that section, and also maybe hint at how useless and counter-productive the ninja world’s focus on eugenics is. All the characters we’ve seen, where their bloodline is literally killing them, or warping them into something monstrous and unhealthful, all the clans we see focused only on themselves and their object of obsession…

And then we have Mei, who is beautiful and strong and utterly unintended. Just the product of two people who loved each other, and happened to have a bloodline, and married each other anyway. That’s another neglected message in Naruto: for better or worse, strength is not found in the blood, but in the will, and the will of all those who follow you.

And yes, sometimes I do amaze myself with how long-winded and pretentious I can be!

Hiveswap Episode 1 Reaction Part 16: Trophy Room Exploration Part 2 + Jude Sends Byers the Pigeon to the Kitchen

So uh, now that we've FINALLY caught up with the Homestuck Epilogues, Homestuck^2 and the bonus stories, it's finally time to try to catch up with the other thing that has laid aside for far too long.

Yup, I'm talking about Hiveswap.

Welp, apparently the last time we got around to playing it was October 2017. That sucks.

Fortunately, I can still remember the most important stuff, and I also reread my last reaction post to get into the groove again a bit.

We were Joey, in Grandpa's trophy room, trying to get the attic key!

So let's try to do exactly that.

Looking at that Egyptian-type tapestry in the room...

Oh god, is it just me, or does one of those figures look like a Smuppet and another one like a Scalemate? And then there's a serpent and a red-eyed person sitting on a throne... HMMMMM

Serpent could be another Cherub related thing, but I wonder what that red-eyed person is supposed to represent. We haven't had some kind of red-eyed monarch/dictator/whatever that I can remember, right?

I mean, the closest I can think of is Crockertier Jane and/or Candy Jane with her links to red, hehe.

...

I just noticed we can spin the globe, and then the red X appears. Just what is that supposed to resemble? Is it maybe not a map of prehistoric Earth, but a map of Alternia, or something else entirely?

BATTERIES && GLOBE ==> Wait, so the globe DOES need something. But what? Do we need to open it up somehow? Is there something inside? Does the X mark a spot WITHIN the globe?

The deer's got creepy glass orbs indeed. Kind of reminds me of the dead eyes of the Dreambubble ghosts.

Oh??? There's light reflecting from it? What's that supposed to mean??

Well, I DO knows it means we're gonna try out all the items on it.

...

CHERUB KEY && DEER ==> That's DEFINITELY hinting the deer might be hiding the key somewhere... are we going to tap this deer open, or what? xD

TAP SHOES && DEER ==> Yeah, we're onto something here. This deer is hiding some secrets!!

...

We can interact with the antlers!! Looking and PULLING. Oh man, are the antlers going to be some kind of lever?

I just realized how appropriate is that the deer/antler related stuff here is the most important, considering Dammek's link to those same things.

Let's PULL it!

...

Oh wow, there's some lights shining out of the eyes now! But whereto? To the empty eye sockets of the cat head? Do we need to put something in there to reflect the light again?

...

And suddenly we're Jude!!! :D

FINALLY! IT'S BEEN YEARS! LITERALLY!

Oh god, listen to that music. That's a fun remix of the song that played when we were Joey.

That drawing on the wall... that seems to depict EXACTLY how the globe needs to be opened! A deer, a line connecting it to the head across it, and then the globe...

So we're going to get marbles as Jude, and send them to Joey with a pigeon?

ESCAPE HATCH --> EGRESS: Hehe, he's definitely got Jake's genes. Going all out against monsters, guns blazing.

Examining the papers on the wall now...

That definitely looks like drawings of the device on the attic that will transport Joey to Alternia.

And those shady figures are searching for that technology, at least according to Jake?

Just who are they? Are they ordinary humans? Are they from SBURB? Are they from Alternia already? ...Crack theory that Dammek actually ends up in the past and one of these figures is him, ahahaha.

It's not going to be somehow related to Obama's session, right?

Or followers from The Condesce?

I mean, just trying to think of any shady things we could possibly expect on B1 Earth...

Looking at the desk now... well there's our marbles! Probably going to be sending a red and green one to Joey then... with one of those sachets attached to a pigeon?

....

Huh, he succesfully put a red and BLUE marble into a pouch now. He didn't even refuse to put anything beside red and green in. Does that mean we have a choice after all, or are we going to have to redo this later?

Ok, we can open the metal chest and retrieve some flares! I assume the flare gun is that thing sitting in the box on the other side of the room?

And looks like we can have some more dialogue with Joey now.

Looking at the tree markings... Activity on 11/11... That's definitely hinting towards something Condesce related, right?

....

Ahahaha, alright, upon examining the pouch he's removed the marbles again, so we can put in the correct ones now.

In the meantime, we've been enjoying looking at the little narration bits for combining the flares and gun with each and every item here. I just love how they programmed all those separate bits of narration.

MARBLES && LANTERN ==> Oh yeah, I hadn't noticed yet that Jude's got a green lantern as well! He's really into the red-green thing... is it just because of the the device on the attic?

MARBLES && PIGEON ==> Cutscene time! ...Pfff, that epically backfired.

So, Jude's probably going to tell Joey to go to the kitchen and retrieve the pigeon? But that might mean she's in for another strife against a monster?

...

Awww, poor Jude. He's really sad about what just happened. :(

I hadn't realized yet though that he could just send another pigeon with another pouch and another two marbles, seeing as he's got a few spares of everything, hahaha.

What's going to happen to Frohike then though?

And is his second try even going to succeed?

He's got 3 pigeons and 3 pouches... I wouldn't be surprised if his second attempt won't be succesful either. :(

....

WELP. THAT SECOND PIGEON JUST FUCKED OFF.

That's... uh, not very promising for what's going to happen with the third pigeon, right?

...

BYERS MADE IT! :D

But being threatened now as well... the same monster that uh... might have just eaten Frohike?

Oh dear.

Byers might only be safe, for now, because it's sitting so high on the fridge.

Looks like next time we'll be off to rescue Byers, get the marble, and get the key from the trophy room!

15th May 2020 - Elgar

Edward Elgar (1857-1934)

Violin Concerto in B Minor (1905-1910)

https://open.spotify.com/album/39NMnRFgeWr4DYcPcWN0eL?si=kB2-X_OoT4OkEbJLT5hn5g Tracks 1-4

Right so first of all, I know I did Elgar in the last round, but I’ve chosen this for two reasons. Firstly, I wanted to cover a piece which is already well known, I just haven’t got around to listening to yet. Secondly, I actually sat through all of Ewald’s Brass Quintets as another options, but I’ve played 1, and 2,3 & 4 are SO boring, that I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I’ve chosen an old recording (1932!), because Menuhin’s interpretation is apparently supposed to be the best. Oh my Christ it’s long. Here we go.

Above - Best Buds Menuhin and Elgar

1. Allegro – From the outset, it couldn’t be anyone but Elgar. Is that an accordion at 1:14?? It must be the recording surely. Apparently also they were unable to make oboe sound nice on recordings this early. I’m sure they were playing well. 2:35 is so nice. At 2:45, I remember it’s a concerto, as we hear the violin for the first time. Even on this recording, the solo violin sounds amazing. Balance is preserved as well. By 5:45, I’m not super excited, but it’s good, standard Elgar, a really enjoyable listen. Around 7 minutes, the low register from Menuhin sounds beautiful, and this part’s so well written. Back to the main theme a bit at 7:35 but with violin this time. 8:40 is the first time I get excited, fast double stopping, so accurate, and then some real ‘acrobatics’. I hate that term, it so cringey, but it’s a good way to describe that passage. Another amazing tutti section. At 11:25, the orchestra are barely audible, it’s a really nice piano section. I do genuinely think this movement loses a bit of direction until 14:45, but then the section here is so exciting, if only for 30 seconds. Then again at 15:30, things start heating up again. There’s something about that fast double stopping that I love every time. Ditto 16:45. It would be so hard not to clap after this movement...it’s as long as a stand alone piece, the end sounds like the end. My other half would be clapping his head off by now. Perhaps rightly so?

2. Andante – The oboes don’t sound as awful in this movement. Maybe they were actually playing badly in the first movement. The opening is quite dramatic and leads us into a really moving violin melody. 2:05 is the highest note I’ve ever heard. Then the melody is orchestrated for the tutti orchestra, it’s really very nice. 3:18, the brass is an interesting choice, not bad, but not expected. Is 4:44 higher than 2:05? I feel like this movement’s a bit of a tease; lots of build-up and no climax. By the middle, I’m hoping the final build-up (if there is one) will lead to something amazing. Is this it at 8:55? More brass, which sounds quite crackly here, but I’m sure that’s a recording thing. It’s such an enjoyable listen throughout, this movement. I keep smiling, and it’s very relaxing. But also quite stirring. Idiots would say they felt patriotic listening to this, I am 10000% sure of it. The end of this movement is great. No risk of claps; there’s something else coming.

Above - This is what’s coming.

3. Allegro Molto – Just in case anyone’s fallen asleep and/or developing a DVT listening to the second movement (shame on you!), the third starts off quickly! At one minute, for the firse time in this piece I feel like there’s actually quite a lot going on behind the soloist, but that is varibale throughout the movement. The tutti’s arre all great though. MMM the runs leading up to 2 minutes are so clever. The first is slurred and the second almost stacatto (not a violinist obviously), it’s such a great contrast. 2:20 definitely doesn’t feel that ‘allegro molto’ any more. Hahaha the double winds really do sound shit. The accelerando from 4:20 (blaze it) shows some amazing, precise, and musical playing. Is that a cadenza before 5:20? It’s weird if so. I bet someone told the trombones to be quieter during the section from 5:55. THERE IT IS AGAIN 6:45-6:56 IS THAT ACTUALLY AN ACCORDION? 8:45 sounds like they’re winding up to the end. And it sounds amazing. Oh my god 9:10 is briefly amazing. Then a bit boring again. 9:30 tasty, tasty violin solo.

4. Cadenza – I don’t think this is another movement, but it’s another track on the CD. Wikipedia says it’s part of the third movement. Doesn’t sound very cadenza-y to me. Until the accompaniment changed. It’s a very cool effect. Wikipedia again says pizzicato tremolando. I don’t know what that means. I mean, there are some elements that feel like a cadenza, it’s certainly the most exposed playing we’ve heard, and sounds really hard. It’s certainly a long bloody cadenza though, and accompanied throughout. Odd. 3:50 is very cool. I am getting a bit bored through 4-6 minutes. I want it to go somewhere. I would be checking my watch in a concert I think. Which is a shame, because there’s some amazing stuff in here. It’s a great piece undoubtedly. There’s hope at 7:00 when that opening theme plays again. From 7:20 this is the climax I’ve been hoping for all along. The end is great, rousing, I was listening intently so don’t have any other more specific notes.

Overall – 7/10. Menuhin must have been tired, this concerto is LONG. I do prefer his cello concerto because I’m a basic bitch but maybe it’s because I know it better. I’d cut about 7 mins from movement 1, and another 7-8 from movement 3. Movement 2 is a triumph, and it’s rare that I like the middle movement of a concerto best (notable mention being the Bach double). It’s just a bit long!

Here’s Menuhin performing another great second movement (4:30, I couldn’t work out how to start there...):

S.IV - Ep. 5: The Great Repliforce War Persists

Written by Metal Man X

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amidst a black screen, Isoc’s voice is heard over a telephone.

ISOC: (o.s, filtered) Are you sure you know what you’re doing?

-fade in-

--------------------------------------------------

INT. SIGMA’S APARTMENT – DAY

--------------------------------------------------

Sigma smiles as he looks at his Portable Halogen Unit.

SIGMA: Hee hee hee. Yes, Isoc. I understand your concern, but you must trust me. This is the best strategy that we could take.

ISOC: (o.s, filtered) Really? Because from where I’m sitting it feels like there is no strategy. We’re doing nothing… It feels almost as if… you’ve run out of ideas.

SIGMA: Hee hee hee. Ha ha ha ha. No… Just turn on the news and you’ll see that my plan is already working perfectly.

ISOC: (o.s, filtered) Hm? What do you mean??

SIGMA: Our enemies are officially at War with each other. …They’re calling it ‘The Great Repliforce War’. In just one day, they’ve both wiped out one unit from each of their factions and it’s not about to stop there. Using Magma Dragoon to cause mass confusion at the Sky Lagoon was the perfect idea. It planted the seeds of War to the point where there is no Need to do anything else. They’re already tearing each other apart for us.

ISOC: (o.s, filtered) But Master… If I may, it sounds like you’re relying a lot on chance and coincidence, rather than truly formulating an iron clad plan this time. And that is what concerns me the most.

SIGMA: Hee hee hee… Fear not, my friend. I’m working on something much bigger than the Maverick Hunters and the Repliforce. In fact, I may need your help planning the logistics once I figure it out. But in the meantime…

-------------------------------------------------- EXT. MILITARY TRAIN – Back Cars - DAY --------------------------------------------------

Zero stands at the back of the Repliforce Military Train, behind the 5th Police Squadron with a determined grin on his face.

SIGMA: (o.s, v.o) Enjoy the fireworks.

[Insert Title Card: The Great Repliforce War Persists]

JENNA stands ahead of her teammates, ALEX, EVAN and ORESTES.

JENNA: This is it guys. The mission is Extraction. If we knock off and destroy their supply crates, the Repliforce will become far weaker for their sheer lack of firepower.

ORESTES: That’ll definitely put us at an advantage.

ALEX: What about their commander, Slash Beast?

JENNA: Don’t worry about him. That’s what Zero is for. /Thank you for joining us by the way./

She /turns around and /winks at Zero.

ZERO: Heh. My pleasure.

EVAN: Let’s get started!!

JENNA: Yeah!!!

She takes out her standard issue pistol as her squadron follows suit.

They proceed to blast two crates away and advance to the end of the car, where Zero slashes through the last one.

They hop over to the second car, where Zero slashes through a Metall D2. Another one hides in it’s shell, while Jenna carefully aims and waits for it to peek it’s head out again. Once it does so, she fires at it with such precision that it explodes.

The group runs ahead to find a plasma cannon charging up at the end of the car.

ZERO: Whoa!

Zero stops dead in his tracks.

ZERO: Get down!!

He dives after Jenna as the cannon fires a huge stream of blue plasma.

JENNA: Hu/wha!?

Jenna is toppled over, as Alex and Evan fall like dominoes. Orestes stands at the back and fires his pistol at the cannon. After three shots, he charges up his gun to fire a level 2 blast, which destroys the cannon.

After the commotion is resolved, Zero gets up with a slight blush and helps her up.

ZERO: Heh, sorry about that.

Jenna looks at him with a sheepish grin, but remains professional.

JENNA: A little more warning next time, huh cowboy? Don’t you have a girlfriend…?

ZERO: Hu-…

Zero doesn’t know how to react until he sees Jenna smiling with a hand up, shaking her head.

JENNA: Relax, I’m only joking. Hahaha.

The group moves on to the third car as they destroy two more Metall’s in the process.

MAVERICK HUNTER BASE – Control Room - DAY

------------------------------------------------------------------

Iris runs back into the room and rushes to her console where she puts on a headset.

Captain looks at her curiously.

CAPTAIN: Hm? Iris, I told you, you could have the day off.

IRIS: I know, I know Captain. But I couldn’t get a hold of Zero before he went on his next mission. So I figured I might as well just check up on him from here.

CAPTAIN: (smiles) Hm. You have a good soul, Iris. You know that? Zero is very lucky to have you.

She looks at him and offers a hopeful smile as her cheeks flush.

IRIS: (giggling) Hehe.. Thanks.

-cut to-

------------------------------------------------------------------

EXT. MILITARY TRAIN – Third Car - DAY

------------------------------------------------------------------

As Zero, Orestes, Alex, Jenna and Evan reach the end of the third car, a Knot Beret throws a grenade at the hitch from the fourth car. Instantly it explodes, endangering them from coming to a full stop. The knot beret loses balance however, and falls to his death amidst the train tracks.

ZERO: Hahaha!!! Let’s go!

Zero dash-jumps and slashes the knot beret in half.

Jenna follows suit with a quick jump.

JENNA: Quickly guys!

The rest make the jump onto the fourth car, while Zero and Jenna lead the team. A few batton bones carrying missiles greet them, but Zero swats at most of them. Jenna fires at the rest as a couple of missiles drop onto the car.

They advance to the fifth car where a wave of Metalls greet them.

ZERO: (v.o, thinking) Hmph. Now’s a good time to try out my new technique.

Zero forms his broken buster and lets out a powerful triangular stream of energy which resembles that of his pointed saber.

ZERO: (slight pain) Hagh!

His move stabs and electrocutes the line of Metalls without a problem. The only problem is that the move stings Zero’s hand a bit.

JENNA: Whoa, cowboy. What the heck was that?

ZERO: That’s my Raijingeki…

JENNA: What??

ZERO: Its stands for ‘Thunder God Attack’.

JENNA: Hahahahah!!!! Are you that full of yourself to call your own move a ‘Thunder God Attack’? Get Real!

She runs on with laughter.

He grimaces as he lets the rest of the team advance ahead of him.

ZERO: Hmph.

IRIS: (o.s, filtered) I like your ‘Thunder God Attack’…

Zero’s heart skips a beat at the sound of her voice. They’re talking again. This is good.

ZERO: (smiling) Thanks, Iris.

IRIS: …I just wish you weren’t using it on my friends…

Zero frowns again.

INT. LAYE LABS – Main Work Area – DAY

------------------------------------------------------------------

At Dr. Laye’s small lab practice, Gate and his dwindling team stand concerned at their work stations.

GATE: What’s going on!? We should have heard back from Yammark by now.

Alia gasps as she does a little research from her Computer.

ALIA: (gasping) Oh no!

GATE: What happened?

ALIA: It appears that… he crashed!

MALEK: Hehehe. Hahaha! That fool… I bet he didn’t check his Jetpack for any leaks after receiving maintenance.

GATE: Hm!?

MALEK: He never trusted us. Serves him right…

INFINITY FLEA: Excuse me!?

The water flea flies over to Malek and his friends.

LIAM: Hey, back off!

INFINITY FLEA: It may not mean much to you, but that’s my friend you’re insulting and now he’s Dead!

Infinity Flea narrows his eyes.

INFINITY FLEA: Oh, I’ll get back to work alright… Allen, Glen, Ron! You’re with me.

INFINITY FLEA: Finish up the original task. Then you can join us in the Testing Room.

INFINITY FLEA: Creating a fighting chance!

DR. LAYE: What!? Why??

INFINITY FLEA: My best buddy just died out there for no reason. If it weren’t for this War, he never even would’ve been there. So now I’m gonna build something big and take the fight to them!

Tidal Whale looks at all the destruction wrought upon the fallen Maverick Hunter Maritime Unit. Jet Stingray, his second-in-command high jumps out of the water and back onto their ship with a satisfied grin on his face-mask.

JET STINGRAY: Ahhh. That felt good.

Tidal Whale shakes his head.

TIDAL WHALE: What are we doing?? This isn’t us…

JET STINGRAY: It is now, Captain. War has evolved us. And it’s time to turn with the tide.

TIDAL WHALE: I think ye be wrong this time Jettango. Those were former friends.

JET STINGRAY: Nay! They think us Mavericks now!! We’re fighting for our honor.

Tidal Whale gestures to the blood-splotched sea.

TIDAL WHALE: Nothing about this is honorable. I’m going to talk to Colonel about pulling us out of the war.

JET STINGRAY: No you won’t!

KING POSEIDON: I second that.

KING POSEIDON(S): /I third that… /I fourth that… /I fifth that…

The King Poseidons continue to ///surround Tidal Whale in a circle.

TIDAL WHALE: What be this; Mutiny!?

JET STINGRAY: Looks like there is a new Captain on the crew. Now, either fall in line like a good soldier, or forever become an Enemy of the Repli-Sea-Force!

At the end of the fifth train car, another Knot Beret blows up a hitch with a grenade. The 5th Squadron jump to the next car and take him out, while Zero is lagging behind, distracted from his com-link to Iris.

ZERO: (reacting) Oh, shit!

IRIS: (gasping) Hua. Zero!

He runs and dashes, then dash-hops off the broken car, onto the sixth car.

The Police Squadron proceed to destroy and knock more crates off of the car.

ZERO: Hey… I know how it looks. But for the moment, it isn’t personal. It’s necessary.

EXT. REPLIFORCE NAVAL TERRITORY – Repliforce Ship - DAY

Tidal Whale high dives in the air and shoots out a powerful wave of ice blocks, which destroy a wave of King Poseidons.

TIDAL WHALE: Yer makin’ a big mistake - doin’ this.

With a clear opening, Tidal Whale rushes through his open window and blasts more King Poseidons with his Goo Shaver, until he is out of the circle.

JET STINGRAY: The only one whose made a mistake is you. Turning against the Tide of War. You’re now an enemy to the Repliforce. Congratulations.

TIDAL WHALE: Grrrr, so be it! I don’t need ye anyway. My name is Duff McWhalen and I’ll always be Captain of the Sea!!

With that, he fires a bunch of ice cubes in their direction, which form that of a battering ram with a sharp spiked tip made of ice.

He uses it to overthrow the Repliforce Battle ship Jet Stingray once stood on. The ice shatters, but so does most of the Naval Army surrounding Jet Stingray. The ship also has a good dent in it, now. Soon it will sink to the ground.

DUFF McWHALEN: Bahahahah! Try and catch me now, cretin. I quit!!!

He forms another set of ice cubes, which serve as his own Ice Raft to escape.

JET STINGRAY: Why you!? How dare you!!???

He jumps in the air and revs up his turbines.

COLONEL: (o.s, filtered) STINGRAY! Stand down.

Jet Stingray stops in mid-air and listens to his com-link.

JET STINGRAY: Huh!? Colonel??

COLONEL: (o.s, filtered) He’s made his choice. You must respect it. If he ever returns, it will be as an enemy, but for now you must allow our former ally to depart.

JET STINGRAY: Ugghhhh. /Chyaaaahh!!!!

He blows off steam by dashing hard against the sea and causing a huge wave to ripple.

This only pushes Duff McWhalen further away from the Repliforce Navy. Further towards his new life, without the Repliforce.

DUFF McWHALEN: Arrr harharharhar!!! Thank you, Colonel. (v.o, thinking) Now I can focus on me… I always knew I shoud’ve been an Oceanographer.

Zero catches up to the rest of the group as they take out two metalls and a knot beret. Then, they hop over to the seventh train car.

Evan fires at a metal, while a plasma cannon fires a stream at them at the top of the car. The blast misses them, while Zero fearlessly runs after it, scaling the train car’s natural ascent to the cannon. He slices at it from underneath three times, in an incredible combo that impresses the other Hunters.

Then, they jump onto the eighth car where they are greeted by some familiar faces, followed by an explosion.

CHARLIE: That’s enough of that…

He rests his grenade launcher at the back of his head, casually.

KENNY: (smiling) Hey guys. Fancy meetin’ you here.

He pulls out a big rocket launcher and aims it at them.

Jenna gasps.

JENNA: Charlie? Kenny?? Is that you…?

ORESTES: Who are these guys…?

ALEX: They used to be one of us… But now it looks like they’re Repliforce Scum.

EVAN: Agh, how could you??

KENNY: Heh! You’re standing next to the reason right there!

He points to Zero.

ZERO: I have no idea who you guys are! And I don’t care!! You’re not wasting my time!

Zero rushes to them as Kenny takes a shot from his rocket launcher. Zero narrowly jumps out of the way and cuts him at the side when he passes him by.

KENNY: Guuh…

CHARLIE: (reacting) Hh.. Damn it!!

He focuses his grenade launcher on Zero, who stops and looks at the blast with intense focus.

ZERO: (grimacing) H-agh!!

He forms his broken buster once again and performs his Raijingeki.

ZERO: Gaaah, stretch!! Damn it. Reeach!!!

His electrical beam stretches out at about four feet in front of him as the grenade draws near. Once the pointed tip of his beam reaches the grenade, it explodes a short distance ahead of him. He is able to quickly dash back, but the blast still knocked him down.

ZERO: Agh. Damn it… That was a risk.

CHARLIE: Hahahaha! You betrayed us, Zero… You nearly killed us all. And now that we’re on the right side of History, we’re gonna kill you.

Zero grits his teeth in anger.

ZERO: This old story again!!?

JENNA: (ordering) Zero! Get out of here! This is our fight.

He looks over to her, surprised.

JENNA: These guys are compromising the mission. We’ll take care of them. Just make sure you take out all those crates. …And nab Slash Beast if you can! /guah!!

An explosion erupts, right by her, knocking her farther away.

KENNY: …You talk too much, Jenna…

Suddenly, his rocket launcher is knocked out of his hand by a well-aimed level 2 blast.

ORESTES: Hey!! You’re mine!

He runs after Kenny, while the rest arm themselves and focus on Charlie.

ZERO: Fine… Looks like you guys got it covered. I’m moving on!!

Zero runs on and takes out a Knot Beret, who just threw a grenade. He quickly swats the grenade toward the back of Charlie.

CHARLIE: /Ah!!

The grenade explodes, which gives Alex and Evan the opening they need to double-team him.

ZERO:

(smiling) Heh, there ya go guys.

He gives them a thumbs up and turns around. Two batton bones fly after him with missles in their talons. He jumps and slashes them before the missiles can explode.

Then he hops over to the next car, which is filled with crates.

ZERO: Now we’re talkin’. Lets shut this operation down.

FLEA CLONE 2: Stupid GENERAL!!

His team is surprised and distraught.

ALLEN: Uhhh, sir? Are you sure about this?

GLEN: Yeah, are you okay…?

INFINITY FLEA(S): //NO!!! Ron, pass me that photon reactor.

The clones //shout at Ron, who look aghast at the parts he’s using. And how quickly he is putting this mech together already.

RON: Uhhhh.

INFINITY FLEA: Gimme that!!!

He grabs the device and plants it in the middle of a large chest, which he has managed to quickly throw together with clones of himself.

Once it is secured and welded inside the chest cavity, Infinity Flea and his clones look over to the rest of his team.

INFINITY FLEA: Well don’t just stand there! Help me with the legs!! Do I have to do everything myself!!!

EXT. MILITARY TRAIN – Tenth Car – DAY

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zero takes out two plasma canons, carefully as he reaches the end of the car.

On the twelfth train car, a Knot Beret throws his grenade at the hitch and the eleventh car begins to separate.

ZERO: Oh man… The 5th Unit is gonna be left behind.

He runs and dash jumps onto the twelfth car as he watches the rest of the train trail behind him.

IRIS: (o.s, filtered) It’s alright, they’re fine! -Omigod what’s that!?

Zero is startled by her sudden reaction when suddenly he spots a huge Mechaniloid train rush after him.

ZERO: (annoyed) I dunno. You tell me.

The train bears three threatening spikes and a him turret at the top.

IRIS: (o.s, filtered) This is new… Apparently its called the… DG-42L. Repliforce must've worked on it once they declared War.

ZERO: Great…

Zero wastes no time in attacking the giant train Mechaniloid as it juts out it's top spikes at him.

ZERO: Huah!

He narrowly avoids getting hit and grabs onto the arm of the spike, which pulls him closer to it’s own platform.

ZERO: Hah! Got you now.

He slashes at the spike devices twice before he must let go and drop to the platform. Once his feet touch down, the bottom spike attempts to impale his legs, but he jumps and swats at the open device three times.

Then, the middle spike juts out and catches him off guard.

ZERO: Aurgh!!

He gets stabbed in the chest and pushed all the way back to the twelfth car.

IRIS: (o.s filtered) Ahhhhh, Zero are you alright??

ZERO: Haagh.. I hate this thing.

Just then, the gun turret fires small blast shots at him. The only way to avoid them is to jump back toward the spikes.

ZERO: (v.o, thinking) Now would be a good time to have some help, but the 5th Unit is gone…!

He dives after the spikes once again. A top spike narrowly misses him as he makes his descent.

ZERO: (v.o, thinking) I may not have my buster any more, but I have thiiis…

Zero performs Raijingeki once again at close range to the bottom spike and completely destroys it.

ZERO: (surprised, relieved) Aha! Yeah!!

With a smile, Zero pulls out his Z-Saber and swiftly slashes the spike in front of him with a 3-hit combo.

The gun blasts fire at him. Zero dodges them back and forth with short dashes as he remains focused on the middle spike before him.

Once it juts out, he side steps it and attacks inside with a desperate fury.

ZERO: Yes! Its working!!

Zero continues to jump and swing at the top spike above him, now. Hacking and slashing away, the spike juts out constantly and the gun turret fires continuously in an attempt to stop him.

ZERO: Aaagh, take thiiis!

Zero powers through it and destroys the top spike with a jumping slash.

With all three spikes destroyed, the DG-42L explodes behind Zero, just as the Military Train makes it into a Tunnel.

Back on the twelfth car, Zero destroys four crates and a met.

He jumps of to the thirteenth car where more crates and mets are easily destroyed.

With a dash-hop, he makes his way over to the fourteenth car. A knot beret shoots at him, but Zero swiftly advanced up to him and slashes him in half from the side.

At the hitch before the fifteenth car, a Raiden soldier in Ride Armor awaits him.

ZERO: Uh oh…

RAIDEN: Hmhmhm.

ZERO: Better use this..

He performs Raijingeki once again and stretches the beam to his maximum 4 feet. The beam reaches Raiden, whose Ride Armor is surprisingly affected from the blast.

RAIDEN: Huuh?? Ghaaa!

He explodes and Zero moves on to the fifteenth car.

KNOT BERET 1: That’s it.

KNOT BERET 2: You've gone far enough.

KNOT BERET 3: Come on guys!

Three Knot Berets attempt to triple team him, while a Raiden soldier folds his arms through his mech. Once they are destroyed, he prepares himself.

RAIDEN: Hmph. I won’t let you take another step!!

He lashes out at Zero with a powerful arm as a plasma beam forms at the mech's hand.

Zero dodges it, slashes at him three times, and uses Raikingeki to impale and ultimately destroy the Raiden Mech.

Just further away, another Raiden Mach dashes after Zero furiously.

RAIDEN: Huuurgh! How DARE you disturb our supply route!!?

He jumps and slashes Zero with a fervor.

ZERO: Kaugh..

He is knocked down.

RAIDEN: And how dare you label us Mavericks!?

He slashes at him again, but Zero rolls out of the way.

ZERO: What do you call all this then!?

Zero raises his broken buster and shoots out his Thunder God attack, destroying the Mech.

IRIS: (o.s, filtered) Self-Defense! You fool…

Light sobs can be heard from their com-link.

ZERO: Agh, Damn it. If I can’t have you in my corner, then Why are you my Navigator!!

IRIS: Because I.. care about you… You stupid, idiot… And you’re about to mess this whole thing up.

Zero jumps onto the sixteenth car and takes out two Knot Berets before he hops into an unmanned Mech.

ZERO: (grimacing) I'm not messing anything up. I'm fixing the problem.

IRIS: (o.s, filtered) By killing off an entire army?? Are you insane!?

Zero dashes onward in his acquired Ride Armor.

He proceeds to run through a series of knot berets and supply crates at a very swift pace. Then he jumps on to the seventeenth train car.

ZERO: If they don’t want to cooperate with us, it’s not my problem. They may not be Mavericks, but they are our Enemies.

Zero proceeds to destroy the next car with his mech and take out a wave of mets and batton bones in the process.

IRIS: (o.s, filtered, gasping) How could you be so heartless?

Zero grimaces as he destroys the next car.

ZERO: What choice do I have…? We tried negotiating with your brother. We tried talking to Web Spider… But now the stakes have been raised, and it’s my job to make sure that we don’t get hurt any more than we have to!

IRIS: (o.s, filtered) Oh… I think.. I see your point.

ZERO: (relieved, softer) Good…

As Zero advances through a wave of mets, he notices a peculiar object and grabs it.

ZERO: (v.o, thinking) Hm? What’s this?

Zero grabs the item with the mech's hand and brings it up to the cockpit, where he takes the item personally by his own hands.

ZERO: (v.o, thinking) I think.. X collects these… I'd better hold onto it just in case.

Zero destroys more Raiden soldiers in an even match as he blows up the next train car.

A wave of knot berets await him at the next car, but they are completely overtaken.

At the last car of the train a final Raiden Soldier stands in Zero's way.

RAIDEN: If it takes my life, I will stop you!

The dutiful soldier slashes Zero's mech with a critical blow, just as Zero slices the soldier’s mech in half.

After the Raiden Soldier explodes, Zero's Ride Armor overloads itself, and he needs to eject from the cockpit before meeting the same fate.

ZERO: Hyaah.

He jumps out as his Mech explodes and reaches the end of the train.

ZERO: I'd better stop this thing.

Zero kneels at the top of the train and pounds a glowing fist against it. The train comes to a shattering, violent halt and the tracks before him break away, almost as if an Earthquake had erupted.

ZERO: Hahaha, yeeeeah! Take that Repliforce!!

IRIS: (o.s, filtered) You’re not done…

ZERO: Huh?

IRIS: (o.s, filtered) Another train is about to leave the tunnel in a few minutes. You merely managed to cut off half of their resources.

ZERO: Holy shiiiiit!

He rereads the mission brief:

“An abandoned lab is now operational. An influx of Mechaniloids have been produced there. Investigate and destroy the lab.”

X looks at the prompt and thinks.

X: This guy is responsible for those new Mechaniloids I saw at the Sky Lagoon. (gasping) Could this be it?

X becomes hopeful.

X: (v.o, thinking) Did I just find the solution to this War? If I could prove that he sent Mechaniloids to the Sky Lagoon, then maybe the Repliforce will ease up and we can end this thing! We can work together to find the real enemy!! Oh man!!!

X gets up from his chair, re-energized and very excited.

Zero runs from the other side of the broken tracks and catches up to the new train, which had just begun to gain momentum.

ZERO: Agh, I made it! What the Hell? No one said anything about 2 trains!!

IRIS: (o.s, filtered) Sorry… You’re doing a good job though.

ZERO: (grinning, focused) Hm.

He destroys two crates ahead of him and knocks off a third. Then he kills a knot beret before moving to the next car with a plasma cannon.

The plasma cannon fires and Zero drops to the floor, effectively avoiding the blast. After three focused slices, the cannon is destroyed. He's only becoming more skilled on the Saber, he can tell.

A Plasma cannon from the top of the train car fires at him, but completely misses him. When he finds his opening, he jumps up and destroys it before moving on to the next car.

Two knot beret grenaders await him and are swiftly defeated as Zero dashes and jumps over to the next car.

Suddenly without warning, four large crates are thrown at Zero from behind and stacked on top of each other.

ZERO: (startled) Huh!? What!?

He turns around to find an angry Slash Beast, swiftly running by the tracks alongside the train.

SLASH BEAST: Hyuuhh!!!

The Lion growls as he high jumps onto the train and menacingly crushes a crate behind Zero.

Zero turns around again with a little bit of fear in his eyes as the Warrior stands tall and glares at him.

SLASH BEAST: You dared to attack my unit?! I'm gonna enjoy fighting you!

Slash Beast creates two threatening beam claws from his hands and dashes after Zero.

Slash Beast dashes to the crates and misses Zero. Then, He dashes back to the other wall of the train car.

He growls at Zero again a few times.

Zero drops to the floor and studies his enemy.

ZERO: (v.o, thinking) Hm. This guy is intense, but he leaves himself so open. If only I had my Z-Buster he'd be finished! I do have Raijingeki though…

Slash Beast growls at Zero for a fourth time, before Zero dashes over to him and makes the move.

ZERO: Shuuut UP!!!

He stabs Slash Beast with his new attack and the wound cuts deep.

SLASH BEAST: Oough. That one really hurt, you bastard!

He kicks him hard to the floor and high jumps with two feet out, ready to stomp him.

ZERO: (scared) Aagh!

Zero dashes back just in time and barely gets up.
