Chapter 201: RWBY (7)

~Third POV~

[Next Day, Atlas Kingdom, Atlas Academy]

General James Ironwood pinched the bridge of his nose as he read the report on the attack on Atlas' scientific community that had little to no evidence to find a lead. This led him to wonder out loud in a worried tone whispering to himself, "How did this happen? Is she involved, but why?"

Ironwood's mind ran through possible scenarios for this attack but found nothing conclusive. No one was hurt or missing, everything was accounted for, and the information storage units showed no signs of being tampered with or any information being extracted.

The only sign of attack existing is the residue from a sleeping gas agent in various science labs across Atlas and the testimonies of scientists being knocked out by said sleeping agent.

But that wasn't all that alarmed James as he received news that his new war machine the P.E.N.N.Y. Project had been somehow turned into a human girl with a grim expression on his face thought in a serious tone, 'How… how the heck did the intruder turned one of my weapons for Atlas into a freaking normal human girl…?!!'

James was on high alert tapping his finger against his desk furiously as this enigma of a problem plagued him one of his trusted men spoke to him calmly, "Sir, you called for us?"

Clover Ebi, a tall man with brown hair and blue eyes with fair skin, entered the office with a modified Atlesian military uniform. But he wasn't alone as Elm Eberne, a giant of a woman with a bodybuilder's body with dark skin and hair followed behind.

Plus, with Vine Zeki, a thin, tall man with a shaved head and pale skin with piercing blue eyes. These were the Ace-Ops, a team James Ironwood was putting together for secretive or important missions that needed to be done.

The General then gave the order to the Ace-Ops in a neutral tone eyeing them, "I'm sure you have heard of the recent incident that happened just last night."

Clover nodded his head understanding in a serious tone in a soldier position replied, "Yes, sir. Attack across Atlas's science labs but with no damage or harm being presently being seen despite intensive investigations."

Ironwood nodded, then informed the Ace-Ops of their mission in a serious tone, "Find out who is behind this and bring them in!"

The Ace-Ops saluted and replied in unison in a determined tone, "Yes, General!"

[Atlas Kingdom, Atlas City]

As Ironwood was having a political nightmare sending his dogs searching for the cause. Meanwhile Ryuko and Mash explored the floating city of Atlas, they soon realized how deep the racism was between Faunus and Humans.

Throughout every store they have been to, they either saw a sign that they don't serve faunus or no faunus allowed symbol. They stopped at a café to rest and chat a bit with Senketsu commenting in a stunned tone, "You weren't kidding when you said that Atlas was just as bad or even worse than Mantle."

Ryuko nodded, quickly finding herself disliking the city a great deal because she noticed how some of the residents and shop owners looked at the two of them like they didn't belong there snorting in an annoyed tone, "Tch. No kidding. This place might as well have the people have a stick up their arrogant asses."

Mash and Koketsu nodded in agreement and decided they weren't fond of Atlas either despite the high-class shop. Ryuko only sighed as she got herself some hot chocolate and Mash got himself a hot tea.

As the two debate whether to return to Mantle and the tavern early, a guy in a high-quality suit shows up and starts hitting on Ryuko in an arrogant tone, "Hello, lovely lady, new to Atlas?"

Both just stared blankly at the guy, but he ignored his awkward feelings and continued talking to Ryuko ignoring Mash in a confident tone, "I will take that as a yes, then! Seeing how you are new here, why don't I show you the best places in Atlas!"

The duo looked at one another in silent conversation, trying to decide what to do with this guy. The snob pushed forward as he tried to invite Ryuko ignoring Mash, "Look, there are certain places that only locals know about, and I'm willing to show them to you, so how about you come with me – "

*Snap*

With a small snap using his Authority of Vainglory, [Overwrite] the snob reached for Ryuko's arm but she got up and left the café. The guy chased after her but unfortunately, it was all in his head thanks to Mash's interference as Koketsu scoffed at the snob in disdain, "Hmph! That guy was just asking to die at this point. But something tells me you have something eviler in mind partner?"

Mash didn't say anything as the nuisance was gone, Ryuko looked at him holding a wallet, and Scroll with an innocent tone said, "So anywhere else you want to go Gear Eyes, that guy is paying EVERYTHING for us."

Tilting his head acting cute Ryuko grinned warmly at his action standing up and smirking at the idea of Mash going on a shopping spree on someone else's money with little to no guilt as Ryuko asked in a curious tone, "So… what exactly did you do that counted as a war crime in this snobby place?"

Mash smirked as he pointed up at the building with a snap of his finger responding in an innocent tone, "Oh nothing much…. Just a little forecast that says…"

*Thud*

*Thud*

*Thud*

And suddenly coming from the sky Ryuko froze mouth agape. She wasn't the only one as everyone was astounded while shielding their children's eyes a sex toy.

A dildo. And no, it wasn't just one…

It was a raining amount of them with each engraving specifically saying 'EAT MY SHINY METAL TINDICK' on them. Ryuko couldn't help but ask in a stunned tone gesturing to the falling rain of dildos in the air, "Just…! Just…!! Why?!!"

Mash simply shrugged as he chuckled lightly at the scene responding in a sadistic tone, "I did say this Kingdom had a metal stick up their ass. I simply provided them the means to say to go fuck themselves. That and hear Tindick's reaction right about – "

*Beep*

Cue to the video feed of BB hacking Atlas showing Ironwood yelling seeing the scene in an outraged tone, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S FUCKING DILDOS IN ATLAS!!! AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE MY NAME!! I DIDN'T AUTHORIZE THIS – Wait I'm live on… the… air…"

Ironwood slowly turned his face to the camera as Mash chuckled to himself with Ryuko responding at a loss for words asked in a confused tone, "Sigh… Okay, I must ask. What exactly did you want to make this guy's day a royal pain in the ass?"

Turning his face towards Ryuko he merely smiled as he responded casually, "Because why not?"

Blinking at this she sighed as she spoke ignoring the stunned expressions on the faces of the people of Atlas in a tired tone but with a sly grin on her face, "Sigh… please remind NEVER to let you go out of my sights. I'm not about to let you pull this kind of shit again…. Unless I take in some of that action."

Extending her arm out hands open Mash rolled his eyes but shook Ryuko's hand agreeing in a proud tone, "Fine… but what do you have in mind that can top this?"

Ryuko smirked slyly as Senketsu and Shinra Koketsu rolled their eyes and thought in a tired tone, 'Sigh… teenagers.'

[Vale Kingdom, Beacon Academy]

Meanwhile back at Beacon Academy Ozpin and James had a conference call with each other. Ozpin went over the facts of what Ironwood just told him in a confused tone, "Let me understand this, James. Someone sneaked into Atlas, attacked the scientific community, which was thankfully unharmed, and likely raided the information stored on the science lab's systems. All with little to no trace? And I quote…"

Ozpin checking on the recent videos going viral with a raised eyebrow confused about what he's seeing in his immortal lifetime in a questioning tone, "Atlas is raining dildos all under your name 'Tindick' and the… I'm reading this right? The high-class dirty secrets exposure…?"

James nodded his head expressing his paranoia in a serious tone addressing his worries about Salem being involved, "Yes, Ozpin, and despite my men's best efforts, we are no closer to finding the culprit, and I'm concerned that Salem is somehow involved in all this... trying to make me react or make me look bad in the public…"

Calmly Ozpin sets his mug of Hot Chocolate down and bridges his hands together as he thinks about the possibility of the Queen having a hand in this incident. They managed to deal with Lionheart's issue after sending Glynda and Qrow to check his alliance with Salem much to their horror of what he had done.

James was informed of this equally saddened, but his Semblance [Mettle] pulled him through of the pros getting rid of the traitor. But then there was an enigma of the duo that saved the Fall Maiden.

The only names he got from them were just 'idiot' and 'Gear Eyes' never revealing their true names much to his frustration. But their noticeable description of 'golden eyes' and 'gear eyes' would hopefully make them much easier to identify in the future.

But it was when it clicked into Ozpin's head eyes widening lightly as he thought in a nervous tone, 'Oh no… there's only one person I know that called Ironwood Tindick… and the second being Qrow…'

Ozpin soon sighed out loud as he agreed with the general in a cautious tone not going to reveal of the most likely culprit, "There is a possibility of 'her' involvement, but the question is what to do next?"

James straightened up informing me of his course of action in a determined tone, "I already have my best team handling things in Atlas, but outside it, however, there are issues with the division between Atlas and Mantle that are always there."

Ozpin sighed at hearing that and felt regret for how Atlas turned out. Instead of sky-high standards, the floating island has turned into a nest of bigotry and elitism with bias against anyone not from there.

Ozpin soon spoke in a neutral tone sending his agent to lend Ironwood a hand, "I will send Qrow to poke around Mantle and Solitas in general."

James thanked Ozpin for his assistance in sending Qrow over. The two Headmasters then talked in detail about other possible incidents that may have had Salem's hand in it, one way or another.

When everything has been said and done James turned off for the night. As he did so Ozpin slammed his head to the table.

*BAM*

He soon took a deep breath and exhaled in a calm tone his eye twitching finding the whole situation nerve-racking as he spoke in a tired tone, "I'm too old to deal with this new kind of shit. My Ex-wife and lifetime battle I can handle? This? This is a whole new brand of crazy torture I'm not going to dignify. It's Atlas's problem now."

Taking another sip of his Hot Chocolate Ozpin briefly considered the idea he was spiked with Dust cocaine but rather not have to deal with the new issues arising in Atlas as he groaned hoping it wasn't one of the Brothers' God tests.
