Chapter 117 - End Of The Line

Everyone was ready to move in the morning and had their morning food so they had energy. They all started moving and made their way through the forest dealing with any Grimm that came across their path.

They came across a pathway and could see what looked like a temple up ahead. They walked inside seeing some Creeps inside some containers similar to the lab they came across before. While they were walking towards it they could hear Dr. Oobleck talk over the comms seeing the location they were in.

Oobleck: "This temple looks like it's being used as a temporary storage facility - for Grimm of all things! This is quite the discovery!"

Shallot: "Thank you for stating the obvious Dr. Oobleck."

They went and saw some computers on the sides and Shallot went to gather information along with Coco. Shallot connected his scroll to the computer and started running his program. They waited for a while before they heard a blaring alarm going off in the cavern. The containers were flooded with a green liquid.

The Grimm then broke out of the containers and a gas material leaked from the ceiling. Shallot could tell that it was the same thing from before but it was a larger and more concentrated amount.

Ruby: "Does anyone else smell sap?"

Jaune sniffed the air while Velvet and Blake could already tell what it was from the concentrated amount.

Velvet and Blake: "It's the sap from the tress from Forever Falls. That's why the Grimm is attracted."

Velvet and Blake looked at each other surprised about their unexpected linked moment.

All of them could hear explosives going off and what looked like pre-made tunnels were shown. A horde of Grimm that was made of the mutated Grimm with a particularly large Beowulf Grimm with green bone spikes from its back. Another Grimm had blue spikes on the back of its body with electricity jumping between the spikes.

Shallot: 'Well, it seems that he had a welcome party. It also seems that he is trying as best as he can even though ants are still ants no matter how big they are.'

The Grimm came rushing out while Team JNPR and Team CFVY dealt with them. The Grimm with blue spikes on them and electricity stopped moving and gathering electricity on its back into an electrical ball launching it at Team JNPR who were thrashing it thanks to Pyrrha sending iron spears at it breaking its bone-like plating.

Nora came in front taking the blast and absorbing the electricity amping herself. She darted towards the Grimm slamming the Grimm with her hammer crushing the bone like plating on its body. Jaune rushed forward using his shield to push off the smaller Grimm while Nora and Pyrrha dealt the larger mutant Grimm.

Shallot was just watching thinking that Dr. Merlot makes some interesting Grimm that could be used to push Hunter and Huntresses to think outside the box.

Shallot: 'Maybe I should capture Dr, Merlot and make him mutate Grimm so that I can use him for later. I haven't forcefully made anyone work for me yet and that could be an interesting experience. I'm a nice guy after all.'

In a cell, Roman sneezed while looking around.

The groups dealt with the Grimm with the rest of his team providing support to anyone that needed it. After finishing the Grimm Shallot could see that he was finished connecting to the systems of Dr. Merlot and could see some interesting information.

He was looking through the information when he was being forced out of the system. Shallot started typing on the computer next to him making sure that Dr. Merlot couldn't do anything about it. Shallot had a smug smile on his face seeing that he essentially made the system his instead of Dr. Merlot. The only thing he couldn't do was make it so that he could take control of the main system.

Shallot clicked his tongue thinking that Dr. Merlot isn't that bad at hacking but someone that lived in the twenty-first century and had nothing but time while in this world had more than enough time to create programs for situations like these.

Shallot was typing away while Coco managed to get some basic information when she looked over to what Shallot was doing and was amazed at how he could get so much access to things while she was only able to get basic information.

Coco: "How did you get past the firewalls? The programs we have on our scrolls don't let us do that."

Shallot turned and looked at her.

Shallot: "I know how to get into systems as long as I have a keyboard since it had to be coded, to begin with."

Blake came overseeing the information seeing that there was some cargo on the ship that's outdoors that they were going to check out.

They all were finished and were just waiting for Shallot and Coco. After Shallot got what he wanted he unplugged his scroll and Coco was right behind. They started walking to the ship so that they could check out what this so-called "Special Cargo" was.

[Inside a dark room with a computer monitor]

Dr. Merlot was throwing things seeing the red triangles with exclamation marks appearing on all of his monitors while in the middle was a masquerade mask. In bold letters under it says "The Phantom Thieves Will Take What Is Most Precious To You."

Dr. Merlot was already angry about Salem interfering with his work and now he is being mocked by children. Dr. Merlot started calming down seeing the message.

Dr. Merlot: 'Take what is most important to me."

Dr. Merlot looked in the glass tube that held the small boy floating in a liquid. Dr. Merlot looked at his computer and opened a laptop connecting it to his network after waiting 15 minutes and disconnecting the network from other areas and only keeping it open to his island. He started typing something else and sending a message to some with only a couple of words.

{Dr. Merlot: I'm willing to take your offer.}

~~~

Shallot and everyone moved through the temple coming out to a beach filled with containers. They walked towards the ship walking through containers when the doors on one shut on them and they could feel that they were being moved.

Shallot kicked the doors sending them flying seeing that they were being brought onto the ship.

Shallot: "Well I guess this could work. It seems that he wanted to trap us but I'm sure that we can take this ship to his island from the information I got and get ourselves a slave... I mean a prisoner for use."

Jaune nervously laughs hearing the changing of words from Shallot and looks toward Team RWBYS. Specifically Blake, Yang, and Ruby.

Jaune: "He's joking right?"

They turn to look at him while everyone else looks at them waiting for their answer.

Ruby, Blake, and Yang: "Probably not."

Shallot: "Well, time to commander this ship and head to his island. From the information I got, it seems that the island isn't that far away from here and will only take 30 minutes."

They all nodded and dropped from the container seeing that there was a droid in the captain's area ready to pilot the ship. Nora rushed behind it slamming her hammer into it sending it flying through the air into the water in the distance.

While the droid was flying Nora had one hand shading her eyes watching it fly in the distance.

Nora: "And it's out of here!!!"

Fox: "Sounded like it landed pretty far. I will also prefer it if we hurry and get to the island. I don't feel all that comfortable being on a ship in the water."

They took off towards the island while Professor Oobleck tried to contact them but wasn't get through.

~~~

Sitting inside a comm area inside Beacon academy in front of a computer their was nothing but static and he couldn't hear anything.

Oobleck: "Team?! Where are you? Report in! Students, please! Oh, dear. Ozpin's not going to be happy about this."

While Dr. Ozpin was getting ready to leave and tell Professor Ozpin about losing communications he heard a bark and meow behind him. Dr. Oobleck turned around and saw Zwei and Merlin they're looking at him with Dr. Kitsune running into the room after them.
