Merc Of The Frontier: A Titanfall x RWBY Story

Disqualification

Predator's POV

Oobleck: Will Yang Xiao Long and Mercury Black report to the arena.

Yang: Well. Gotta go win this match.

Ruby: Good luck Yang.

Yang: Thanks sis.

Yang separated from us and the rest of us walked to the stands to watch her match. They met up and shook hands.

Oobleck: Begin in 3...2...1...Fight.

They fought for about a minute. Mercury was winning until Yang used her semblance and beat him down.

Port: And that's the match. The winner is Yang Xiao Long.

Predator: Nice.

Ruby: Way to go sis!

Yang: Better luck next time.

I noticed his teammate waving her hands around in a rather odd fashion.  Yang punched Mercury in the leg breaking it. Instead of a crunch I heard the sound of metal bending. A soldier came yo an arena with his weapon aimed at her. She's confused at what's going on. I cloaked and ran towards the soldier

He's gonna kill her!

Atlas Soldier: Yang Xiao Long, stand down!

Mercury: My leg, MY LEG!!!!!

???: Please, somebody help him! Can you do something!?

Paramedic: We need to get this boy to a hospital. Grab a blanket.

Yang: You don't understand! He attacked me, I swear!

Atlas Security Guard: Stow it! You've already caused enough of a scene!

I appeared with the data knife at his throat.

Predator: Guns down now or there will be blood spilled!

The guard lowered his weapon.

Predator: Yang. Let's go.

Yang: But Predator.

Predator: Let's go!

She stopped.

Predator: We'll talk about it in the dorm.

We walked together to the entrance. Ruby and the rest of the team followed to the dorm. General Ironwood came in the dorm with two armed Atlas guards.

Ironwood:  We need to talk.

Predator: Get you men out of here then.

Ironwood: They stay right where they are.

Predator: Unless you want to see a massacre I suggest you do what I say. General.

Ironwood gave me a death stare.

Ironwood: Leave us.

His men left.

Predator: Thank you.

Ironwood: I'm sorry Yang, but you've left us with no choice.

Yang: But he attacked me!

Ironwood: Video footage and millions of viewers say otherwise.

Weiss: But Yang would never do that!

Ruby: Yeah!

I would kill the little fucker before she would.

Ironwood: You all seem like good students, and the staff here at Beacon are fully aware that you would never lash out the way you did. Under normal circumstances. What I believe and hope this to be is nothing more than the result of stress and adrenaline.

Predator: Bullshit general.

Ironwood: As I was saying. When you're out on the battlefield, your judgment can become clouded in an instant. Sometimes you see things that simply aren't there. Even after the fight is past.

Yang: But I wasn't-

Ironwood:  That's ENOUGH!

I went to unseath my data knife when Ruby stopped me.

Ironwood: The sad truth is, whether it was an accident or an assault, it doesn't matter. The world saw you attack an innocent student. They've already drawn their own conclusions. And it's my job to inform you that... you are disqualified.

Yang's shock turns into miserable understanding when she looks to the ground, and Ironwood leaves the room.

Yang: You guys believe me, right?

Ruby: Duh!

Weiss: You're hotheaded, but not ruthless.

Yang: Blake?

Blake: I believe you.

Yang: Predator?

Predator: Yeah.

Yang: I think I'm gonna rest up.

Blake: We'll get out of your hair.

We left her alone.

Weiss: This is a mess.

Juane: She doing okay?

Blake: She's doing the best she can.

Ruby: I heard Mercury his team rushed back to Haven to be with his family. So, until they land, no one can really question him about what happened.

Ren: If there's anything we can do, please don't hesitate to ask.

Ruby: All right then. If that's the case. Pyrrha.

Pyrrha:  Hm?

Ruby: You and Predator be sure to win one for Beacon, okay?

Weiss: It's what Yang would want.

Ruby We'll be sure to watch in case you get picked Pyrrha.

Pyrrha: Thanks Ruby.

Blake: Sorry but, I think I've had enough fighting for one year.

Weiss: Ditto. Coffee?

Blake: Tea

We left to get something to drink. I got some lemonade while Ruby got milk. When we finished we went to the arena to watch the next match.

Port: Will Pyrrha and Penny report to the arena.

We watched as they entered the arena. The crowd roared with enthusiasm. Ruby pointed to Mercury and his teammate.

Ruby: Predator. Look.

I noticed them here and well.

Son of a bitch!

We followed them to the maintenance room. I cloaked as Mercury noticed her.

Ruby: Mercury? What are you doing here?

We realized that they were rigging the matches.

Ruby: No.

Mercury: Metal vs polarity. That could be bad.

I ran in front of him and kicked his face knocking him back knocking him downand appearing in front of him.

Predator: Fuck your leg.

Mercury: Well then I'm glad your eye got cut.

You little shithead.

He got into a pose ready to right.
