Alex and Yang landed in Patch about an hour ago..

Alex found that the island was so massive, he felt it was more fit to describe it as a continent, from his perspective, anyway.

"So where's this friend, Yang?" Alex asked.

"I just called her, she told me she would be somewhere in the forest." Yang replied.

"Cryptic as always, Ms. Xiao Long. What's the plan?" Alex asked.

"We'll split up, you take the right path, and I'll take the left." Yang ordered.

"Sure." Alex said, running into the forest.

----

Alex walked at a decent pace through the undergrowth, expecting those Grimm to be sniffing at his behind...or eating it, whichever worked best.

A branch cracked just behind him.

"Who's there?" Alex pointed Vanoss's PDW in several directions. When he saw nothing, he continued walking.

Another branch broke, same general direction.

"Show yourself!" Alex yelled. He backed away slowly. Alex had to be cautious, if what Yang said was right, there were more than a few Grimm around here.

"You are intelligent, cautious, a true huntsman. But you will have to be much more." a voice emanated from every direction.

"Who's there!?" Alex asked, louder this time.

Silence. Soul crushing silence. He was sure he was hallucinating again, but there was no way to tell.

"Come then, warrior. Test your skill."

There was that voice again. Was he schizophrenic now? It would be believable, but it sounded way too real. Regardless, he clicked the safety off the PDW.

"Afraid, Mr...Walker, is it?"

Alex didn't say another word. This apparition would not get the better of him.

He was careful about it. Pointing his weapon in front of him, behind him, even up in the trees, you never know when a Nevermore would swoop in and rip you into confetti.

"The silent treatment, Alex? Are you really that petty?"

Alex again did not answer this voice.

"Fool. Doesn't even pay attention to what's right in front of him."

Alex turned around and saw...someone.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed it was definitely female, wearing a mask that reminded him of the Grimm masks that the White Fang reportedly wore. She held out a large katana-like blade, which had been colored red, and was pointed directly at him.

"Put down your weapon!" Alex ordered.

The figure did not move. Instead, she stood in a stance similar to a fencer before a duel.

"This is your last chance!" Alex yelled again.

She didn't move a single inch, the blade doubled in length before him.

"Your choice." Alex fired the PDW, all 60 rounds, aiming specifically for her head. Instantaneously, all he could see was a red blur where his target used to be. Clearly using her sword to block the bullets.

Alex put the PDW against his back, put on his helmet, and pulled out the .44 Scratch and Electric Fury.

How could have he been so stupid? This was an Inquisitor!

He charged at his enemy, firing one shot from each gun as he ran, The Inquisitor blocked it, the .44 Scratch was not much of a deal to that blade, the .499 Kaiser, however, shattered the blade completely.

Alex smirked. Some inquisitor this was!

She put the hilt back into the sheath, the sheath spinning like a revolver's chambers, and pulled out her hilt, a new blade reattached.

He fired more .44 Scratch, hopefully a distraction to her. As he fired Electric Fury, it was clear that tricks would not work with her. She blocked the round with her blade. Unlike last time, it didn't break.

Alex reloaded both revolvers, growled, and charged at her, relentlessly firing both guns to the point to where the inquisitor had to dodge his bullets.

He kicked the inquisitor in the gut, sending her skidding backwards and almost hitting a tree. She used the momentum to run backwards and front flip, kicking Alex in the process.

Reloading .44 Scratch, he shot all six rounds at her while she was still confident. She dodged all of them with stunning agility.

Reholstering .44 Scratch, he stuck solely to Electric Fury. Blasting her away with ruthless precision, aiming for her head, neck, chest, leg, chest, and head in quick succession. Carefully dodging and/or blocking his shots, she taunted him.

"Is that all you got, boy?" She asked scathingly.

"Not even close." He retorted.

Alex shifted Electric Fury from it's gun form to it's sword form, holding it in his best stance, over his right shoulder, blade facing the target.

She swung first, as planned, aiming for his leg.

He leaped over it and slashed at her, the inquisitor's blade locking onto his own.

Alex broke the clash, kicking her, and slashing his blade.

She leaped back. And, no joke, shot the blade at him.

Dodging just in time, the blade stayed embedded in the tree behind him. Seeing it as his chance, he swung hard, only to have it blocked by the inquisitor's new, blue blade.

He punched hard, sending her reeling into the corner and swung Electric Fury again.

This time, the inquisitor was not so lucky, her blade shattering apart and leaving a hole in her arm.

She looked like she honestly didn't care, and punched him in the mouth with her wounded arm.

Holding his mouth, to no avail due to the helmet. She swung another, yellow blade at Alex, bringing him to his knees near another tree.

Alex roared in fury, Electric Fury grasped in his hands, and swung as hard as he could at this inquisitor.

She was taken aback as to how quickly he recovered, and swung her blade again.

Alex locked it. Staring her in the eye and kicked again.

She recovered fast, swing her sword as Alex struggled to dodge it.

"Interesting. It seems you're using both Voikara and Arcamida techniques. I haven't seen that before, but you will have to do a lot better!"

Alex swung again, only to have the inquisitor's blade locked in the gap in his blade, holding it in place by turning his sword to the right.

With a flick of the wrist, he broke the inquisitor's blade, and before she could replace it, sent purple lightning out of his hands.

Taken aback by the attack, she replaced the blade with an orange one. And planted it into the ground.

Leaping just as the earth below exploded, he swung the blade again. Only to be kicked away.

He recovered fast, furiously swinging his blade as the inquisitor tried to keep up.

As she tried to recover, he charged his blade, now glowing a static-y purple, and swung his blade repetitively. The inquisitor tried to block it, only to be blown downwards by his relentless attack.

She punched him hard in the gut, and swung her blade at his neck.

To no avail. The armor blocked it completely.

He grabbed her blade with an armored gauntlet, and broke it with his grip.

She kicked him away, replaced the blade with a green one. And charged.

Alex set his blade into saw-mode, in which both sides of the sword separated, and spun at high speeds. He batted away her attack easily, and charged it.

The inquisitor sheathed her green blade, the sheath rotating until she pulled out a purple blade.

Alex swung repeatedly, bashing the death blades against the inquisitor's sword. She quickly dodged each one of his ruthless attacks. And batted away his weapon easily.

She then stabbed his armor, barely touching the skin, and pulled the Scarab Mk. I apart with some difficulty.

Then, she punched him in the center of his ribcage, holding his chest in pain as he gasped in agony.

She punched his visor, breaking it, denting the surrounding metal, and knocked him on his back.

"You put up a good fight, for someone who only trained for a week." The inquisitor commented.

Alex merely groaned in agony.

"Indeed, you are a promising young huntsman. But you are not yet an Inheritor." The inquisitor scathed.

"Wh-what?" Alex asked meekly, and in severe pain.

"Okay, I think he's had enough for one day." Someone said from his right.

"I agree, Ms. Xiao Long. While he is in no way ready to go up against an Inquisitor, he has a good start." The inquisitor replied.

"Come on, Alex. Get up." The new voice said to him.

"Y-Yang?" Alex asked, struggling to get up.

"Yep!" Yang replied.

Alex groaned in pain, only barely getting up before falling to his knees in agony.

"What... What is going on, here?" Alex asked, spitting blood.

"Come on, Raven, I said 'no badly wounding' last time we talked." Yang chided.

"Aaack... Seriously... What is going on?" Alex coughed.

"Do you think Sigma, Omega, let alone Alpha will agree to that rule?"

"Yang, what's going on!?" Alex spoke more clearly this time.

"Alex, this is who I was talking about!" Yang said, picking him up.

"Mutual friends don't kick each other's asses!" Alex coughed again.

"May I remind you that you shot first?" The...person asked, if this person wasn't an Inquisitor, then what?

"I gave you fair warning!" Alex retorted, coughing blood.

"Raven, this is Alex Walker, that guy who fought an inquisitor." Yang gestured towards him.

"It's a pleasure, I'm Raven." Raven introduced.

"Alex." He replied, trying to shake her hand, but coughing more blood in the process.

"What did you do?" Yang asked.

"Probably broke my ribcage...punched me in the face. Usual stuff." Alex buckled again.

"I told you, no using 'the disabler'!" Yang yelled.

"Hey, he's this supposed up-and-coming Inheritor, he should be able to handle this." Raven replied.

"Ow..." Alex coughed again. Barely conscious.

"Here. Hold him up!" Yang ordered.

"I got him." Raven replied.

Alex grabbed Raven's hand, she only pulled him up.

"Now. Onto a more serious matter, Alex, if you can. Which Inquisitor did you encounter?" Raven asked.

"Sigma!" Alex coughed again.

"Listen. You're obviously too injured to be able to handle this. Let's get you somewhere." Raven said.

"Where...the guillotine?" Alex asked sarcastically.

"Yang, hold him." Raven ordered.

"Okay." Yang grabbed him, and held him like a wounded soldier...or a baby.

"I can walk!" Alex coughed loudly. Blood pooling on the ground below.

"No, you can't. I'm surprised you're almost standing, Mr. Walker. Yang, hold him!" Raven ordered.

Yang held him again, Alex still coughing blood. Holding his chest, he feared what would come next.

-Meanwhile-

"Delirious, let's hurry this up."

Vanoss was currently in the pilot's seat on an Attack Helicopter, clad in a blue hoodie, clown makeup, and a hockey mask. Delirious was sitting directly next to him, in Vanoss's trademark red and white leather jacket and owl mask.

This was all being recorded on a GoPro-esque camera, to be posted on Remnant's version of YouTube, called 'Beholder'.

"DELIRIOUS!!! GO!!!"

"This helicopter is hard to fly, Vanoss!" Delirious said.

"Screw this, I'm leaving!" Vanoss said as Delirious exited the chopper.

"Never mind, I call shotgun!" Vanoss yelled again as Delirious got back in.

"This is so confusing!" Lui said from the back seat of the helicopter.

-Later that evening-

"9 dislikes!?" Vanoss yelled in anger.

Vanoss was dressed as himself again, as was Delirious, and they had posted their video on Beholder, only for it to have a 6:9 like/dislike ratio, much to Vanoss's disappointment.

"At least you have six likes, that has to count for something." Ruby added, her and the other members if Team RWBY, except for Yang, were in the room with them.

"Three of them were from you guys, one of them I know for sure is Jaune, and the other two were from Delirious and Basically!" Vanoss pointed out.

"Still, it's only been a half-hour since it got there." Weiss added.

"Then who disliked it?" Delirious asked.

Pyrrha walked down the hallway, only to see Vanoss and the others inside. She backed further down the hallway before running to her dorm.

"That's one."

-Meanwhile-

"Is that machine ready yet?"

Twilight sat with her friends, the Agent, and Sigma, as well as scores of Royal Guards, Ex-Militia Fighters, and the remaining soldiers of Task Force Crimson. With Twilight's help, not only were they able to rebuild it, but expand it so that every last one could hunt Alex and his friends down.

"Almost, in order to transport all of our soldiers, it needs a massive amount of energy." Sigma told Agent Winchester.

"How much?" The agent scowled.

"1.21 Terawatts of power, to be exact." Sigma responded.

"It's actually 1.209427 Terawatts, to be exact." Another inquisitor, Theta, corrected.

Sigma found that a mission in Remnant would prove difficult, so she arranged to have another three Inquisitors sent to help. The Inquisitor team consisted of Sigma, Theta, Eta, and Iota.

"Why aren't we asking the horses anything, didn't they know what they were dealing with?" Eta asked.

"I doubt anyone actually knew. I never thought this kid would have anything to do with Remnant." Iota thought.

"A mission to Remnant is not very dangerous. Not compared to Fiore, or Vitylis, for that matter." Theta said.

"Not for Sigma, anyway." Eta scoffed.

Twilight and her friends snuck off to the castle to discuss the plan.

"I'm not sure about this, these guys mean business." Applejack started the conversation in a nervous tone.

"Neither am I, but Alex needs all the help he can get." Rainbow defended.

"I don't know, wouldn't we help him better by not intruding? Surely he won't believe for a second that we are double agents." Rarity asked, obviously wanting to do with as little with this as possible.

"I agree." Fluttershy backed away, towards her cottage.

"Come on! It'll be like a masquerade party!" Pinkie whisper yelled.

"I would be lying if I said I wasn't sure about this myself, but as much as I hate saying it, we put him through this, and we have to get him out of this." Twilight asserted.

"Twilight, the other princesses wouldn't touch this case with a ten-foot pole. This isn't our place!" Applejack rolled her eyes.

"We weren't even responsible for Alex's criminal acts!" Rarity elaborated.

"Alex told me himself this whole case was a sham, I told you everything he told me!" Rainbow yelled again.

"I'm sorry, but this is too big to just leave behind!" Twilight told her friends.

"There's two ways this thing will end, Twi. Either one person dies or one million people die." Applejack sighed.

"Are you saying he deserves this!?" Rainbow was appalled.

"He may not deserve it, it's just...it's for the greater good." She defended herself.

"If we don't help him, we'll regret it for the rest of our lives!" Twilight yelled.

"Which may not be very long if we do!" Rarity yelled.

Sigma walked into the castle.

"Are you going or not? We have five minutes!" Sigma ordered

"In a moment!" Twilight yelled.

"So, what are we going to do?" Pinkie asked.

"I don't know. Let's put it to a vote... If that's okay." Fluttershy said timidly.

"Sounds fair, all in favor of helping Alex?" Twilight asked.

Author's Notes:

I know I said I would wait a week, but unless I post new material that people may possibly like, the vote bar will look like Darth Vader's lightsaber.
