RWBY: When ROBs have had enough (AU)

Reader mode
Thus the problem.

I don't mind going for Emerald first, but Marcus Black seriously needs to be dealt with, as does the Schnee-Fauanas thing.

I'm not going to say that all of the problems faced by the faunas are the result of the schnees, but a lot of the resistance to addressing those problems likely came from Jaques and his cronies trying to prevent the loss of their cheap labor pool.

"Hey, are there any interesting parallel dimensions adjacent to Remnant that Summer might find useful?"
 
...
Let's not bring Mordin or Sain into this.

After that the closest nexi are the FF-realms, the DoA worlds, Chibi of course...

Well there's the Miracles of Ancient Wonder timeline which might be a useful bridge between aura use and essence tech since they managed to make it work.

So we might be able to move Mystical martial arts files, and Aura-compatible artifact weapons, still wouldn't be able to teach sorcery without a teacher... unless the teacher doesn't actually have to be the one teaching the sorcery, was never really sure if that loophole would fly, and we can't use a sorcerous artifact because MoAW humans can't make those.

Actually, I was thinking something more like the Nether; something useful for fast travel if you know what you're doing.
 
Raptorus: You can send pictures.

I just write: The only parallel dimensions that are near this variation of remnant is the Hub.
 
Sweet.

Ok, summer, do you recognize the buildings in these pictures? Or the architectural style? This is like...roughly ten+ years in the future, but hopefully this will help narrow down where emerald is to at least one kingdom.

Oh, and emerald is the girl with mint hair and dark skin.




Sorry it's not much, this is the best I can do with the information we have available to us. Our knowledge of your current time period in Remnant is...very limited in quite a few areas.
 
"That actually kind of looks like the new residential area of Mistral! They've had a project to renovate the outskirts of the town, and they were talking some ideas from vale's architecture."
 
Excellent! It seems we have a point to start at then.

Now we just need to get you there...what continent are you on by the way?
 
Oh. Good.

...hm...give me a second to talk to the others please.

So, uh, guys...do we want to try and send Summer after the Nuckelavee? We could potentially save Ren's parents, and who knows how many other people, but we could also butterfly away Ren and Nora ever even meeting or becoming friends, not even mentioning preventing them from going to Beacon.

How do yall wanna play this?
 
I don't think we can justify not nuking the Nuckelavee.

Preferably while playing a jaunty tune.

That said it will have consequences for Nora long term, might need to do something to make sure she'll be ok in the altered timeline.

Hmmm... We're banned from sending WMDs which rules out pretty much the entirety of the Schlock Mercenary techbase. Seriously, they've got neutronium-fueled matter annihilation reactors in just about EVERYTHING.

Maybe one of the plasma cannons Schlock hauls around could do the job, but I'm not sure if it would be allowed considering the sheer level of destruction it can unleash.

...Actually, I just thought of the perfect item for ridiculous single-target damage. BRB.
 
Do we know how Nora wound up in Ren's town alone? I don't remember.

Also, Just, I'm pretty sure a Meltagun or something similar would work pretty damn well for massive single-target damage. Since you're basically shooting a beam of Star at the target.
 
So, I dug this out of one of my really old quests.

The item in question is a Conversion Bazooka; it's a technomantic item that converts the mass of a five kilogram Iridium cartridge entirely into energy, firing it as a beam at the target. It delivers energy roughly equivalent to 100 megatons of TNT, but thanks to the way it operates, none of this energy is able to leak out of the target as collateral damage.

If the target is susceptible to biggatons in the sub-gigaton range, and you point this thing at them, they just outright die, no save allowed.
 
Meh, the problem isn't finding a decent gun, Summer has a teleportation semblance and a decent sword.
 
...I'd rather just send her an inferno pistol. Small, concealalble, easy to use, likely to instakill anything smaller than a deathstalker it hits center-of-mass. Great as a holdout weapon and execution tool. Just teleport next to the Nuck's head and blow it off in a blast of Nuclear Fire.
 
Ok then, since no-one else seems to want to contribute...

Summer! Hey, so, something else has come up that you'll probably want to deal with before you go after Emerald. What do you know about the Nuckelavee Grimm? Looks like a Horse with a humanoid torso fused to it's back, with overly long arms on the human-ish bit. Based on what we know, seems to be a relatively powerful specimen of Grimm-Dom.

Ok, that's good.

So, there is one in the general area of Kuroyuri that, at some point, is going to attack the village and cause the place to fall, killing the vast majority of residents. The only known survivors are a young boy named Lie Ren and a little girl named Nora Valkyrie, who in the Timeline we know of would go on to join beacon together and become close friends with your daughters.

It is also responsible for the destruction of other villages in the area.

I/we have no idea what butterflies might alter the long and short term future if you kill this grimm before it destroys the town, but we figured that you'd probably want to save these people reguardless of the potential alterations to the timeline.

If you don't feel comfortable fighting the Nuck by yourself with your current gear, I can send you a pistol on the next drop that should be able to one-shot the beasty if you can get close to it. It's a short-ranged energy weapon called an Inferno Pistol that shoots a beam of thermal energy powerful enough to slag a bullhead in one shot. It only has an effective range of like...probably no more than 30 feet. You might want to test it out if I send the thing to you.
 
"...I want to kill the Nuckalavee. It's been around for a long time, long enough to actually get a bounty. Trust me, those things don't appear often. It would probably go on to be even worse, and I don't want that. I wouldn't say no to that pistol though..."
 
OK then if we're setting up the next list would you prefer a water supply, or a Kuni crystal nodachi? Kuni crystal is basically a counter to esoteric corruption, darkness, and their agents. Light refracted through it can reveal certain kinds of shapeshifters, or burn/banish incorporeal forms of shadow type creatures, and more importantly it will be extra effective against things steeped in such powers, which honestly the grimm seem like a fair candidate for.

Also it's wicked sharp and holds an edge for-basically-ever.
