Chapter 29: Act II, Chapter 2: Another Plan

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Alex had all of Team Unity at his apartment after that battle.

With the intent to discuss what to do about The Syndicate, Alex soon found the group getting hopelessly off-track.

"-So then, Delirious got out of that creepy-ass costume and we had to check the cameras..." Vanoss continued his long-winded story about his 'Five Nights at Freddy's' Gmod adventure.

"Weren't we supposed to be talking about those guys who captured you and held you for ransom?" Weiss clearly had as much interest on the subject as Alex did.

"Oh, yeah!" Delirious jumped up a little, as if realizing the reason why they were even having the meeting in the first place.

"As interesting as it was, I'm afraid Ms. Schnee is correct. We have to focus on the current threat at hand. There will be time to talk about our previous misadventures later, Vanoss." Zera calmly replied.

"True, those guys were tough! Even I had trouble fighting them, there were so many." Alex recalled.

"Yeah, I wonder if those cops managed to hold their own against them." Rainbow sighed.

"Do you think we need any backup? I do know a few wizards." Kat asked.

"We don't know if they'd even consider helping us. As far as I'm concerned, we're all we've got." Alex asserted.

"Commander Walker may be correct. Keep in mind that your friends were in the same guild as those that turned against you, and as the saying goes, 'Birds of a feather flock together'." Zera agreed.

"So what's the plan?" Basically asked.

"We have to investigate as to why these men are choosing to target us. We've only been here about, what? Five days? There's gotta be something behind all this." Alex decided.

"But what about Rufio? If he finds us before we know what's going on, we're all going down in your shit." Mini explained.

"It's obvious that this guy is an Inquisitor. According to a certain someone that I know, Inquisitors almost always have some kind of special ability and are usually leaders of some type of group, and Mr. Vincent just so happens to meet and exceed that criteria." Alex replied.

"But we're severely out-ponied! How are we ever going to survive this?" Rarity started to panic.

"Calm down! I'm sure he knows what to do, so what's your plan?" Yang asked.

"The way I see it, we've got two fugitives, ten idiots, six magical horses, four schoolgirls who happen to know how to kill so well that it's borderline Yandere-like, and one android. Zera is going to try and tap all the phone lines to see what they're planning, Team RWBY, Kat, and Myself are going to try and kill the SOB before he can screw us all over, the Elements are going to have to try and put the pieces that we give them together, and Vanoss's crew are gonna root out and kill anyone in the Syndicate and buy as much equipment as humanly possible. Sound like a plan?" Alex planned out.

"The chances of success are about... 87.61%" Zera calculated.

"What's the other 12.29?" Twilight asked.

"The likelihood of this plan failing and every last one of us dying an awful death, of course!" Zera replied cheerfully.

"That's a lot better than we usually do." Moo figured.

"Are you ready, kids?" Vanoss asked.

"Aye, aye, captain." Nogla said.

"Aye, aye, Vanoss." Wildcat replied at that exact moment.

"I can't hear you-" Vanoss said before he was so rudely interrupted.

"AYE, AYE, CAPTAIN!!!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Jesus!" Vanoss scolded.

"Well, then. It's settled." Alex concluded calmly, in vast contrast to his teammates.

"Already tapping phone lines in the immediate Los Santos and Blaine County areas, sir!"

"Meeting adjourned!" Kat announced.

Everyone except Alex and Kat left the apartment, Alex lived here, but he wasn't fully sure about why Kat stayed.

"Do you wanna talk, Alex?" Kat asked him.

"Sure. Any topics?" Alex asked her.

"I've been meaning to ask, what's up with you and Yang?" Kat wondered.

"It's a long story." Alex responded.

"I have plenty of time." Kat assured him.

"Okay. So I was training one day, and because of my apparent nightmares, I didn't sleep the night before, but I didn't tell anyone." Alex began his tale.

"Why not?" Kat asked.

"I was sure everyone kinda already knew. But anyways, Yang throws me into a bush and asks why I wasn't telling anyone anything, so I just... Told her everything." Alex explained.

"Anything else?"

"As soon as I mentioned Inquisitors, she had us go to Patch for some secret mission regarding a 'friend'." Alex finished. He didn't want to give away a whole lot.

"She knew about them?" Kat asked.

"Enough that she felt it was necessary to have us sent to some random island." Alex answered, rolling his eyes.

"I see."

"And what's your story? I know you told me something about a Guild, what's the story behind that?" Alex asked a question of his own.

"Oh! You mean them!" Kat realized.

Kat began explaining her own interdimesional escapades when Zera called Alex.

"Hello?" Alex asked.

"Greetings Commander. I do not wish to waste your time so I shall go straight to the point." Zera said.

"Go on."

"Vanoss, H20 Delirious, and Lui Calibre are currently under attack by Syndicate hit men." She explained.

"Where?"

"About now, they are near the Ammu-Nation by the overpass south of here." Zera replied.

"How are they holding up?" Alex asked.

"I hacked into the microphones on their cell phones, you tell me." Zera sighed as the line disconnected and reconnected elsewhere.

"We've got two choppers on us, three choppers!" Lui yelled, firing a machine gun.

"Delirious! Drive!" Vanoss screamed.

"AAAAAAHHH!"

The line disconnected again and reconnected to Zera.

"Case in point. I should probably help." Alex grumbled.

"Yes, You should." Zera said in annoyance as the phone hung up.

"Well then!" Alex scoffed, putting on some battle gear he purchased from a clothing store, as well as a heavy bulletproof vest, grabbed a pair of sunglasses and his Battle Rifle and left for his garage, Kat not too far behind.

The garage was pretty impressive, Super cars, motorcycles, and armored trucks of some varieties inside.

"What should we take?" Kat asked.

"Get in the Insurgent and take the wheel!" Alex ordered.

"Okay! Sheesh!" Kat rose her hands in defense, walking in the car while Alex got in the gunner. No, this was not the same one he drove to on their previous mission, that was destroyed, he still owed Vanoss $500.

"Where to?" Kat asked as soon as they pulled out of the garage.

"The highway near that Ammu-Nation to the south, please." Alex informed her.

They drove off in the direction the police helicopters were going.

This was not going to end very well. For the Syndicate's men, at least.
