S7E12- Well Hello
"Let's not wait then." Jaune aimed his scroll at the TV like a remote as he hit play.
" Well Hello" appeared on the screen with the theme.
Fade in to a waterfall then Donut apparently running around randomly inside Blue Base.
"The roof is a window, cool." Yang commented.
"I keep looking at these scenes and wondering what it would be like to actually play on the maps." Jaune commented.
Ruby nodded with clenched fists next to her cheeks in excitement, "I know, the Grav lift thing would be cool to have, it launches them right in the middle of battle."
Jaune chuckled, "And the Hill in between the two bases stops people from hanging back and sniping at each other from the Bases, it's cool."
"I actually don't like that." Yang groaned, "I like hanging back and sniping, it's funny to see their teammate freakout next to them."
"You like hanging back?" Jaune asked.
Yang nodded, "And Ruby likes charging in." Yang jammed a thumb in her direction.
Ruby nodded, "I used to die a lot until I got better."
Yang nodded, "Same here, I used to make the mistake of standing still while trying to snipe."
Jaune frowned, "Huh, so you two do the opposite of what you would normally do in a real fight."
"I don't know, Ruby charged right into that Deathstalker." Weiss chuckled.
Ruby blushed and growled but was too embarrassed to defend herself.
Yang nodded in an answer to Jaune's question, "I mean yeah, why not? What do you do in games like that."
Jaune shrugged, "Just whatever I'm feeling like or whatever our team needs."
"Team player." Pyrrha smiled.
Jaune nodded, "Anyway..." Jaune hit play.
Donut: "Doo dadoo, doo dadoo. Hm hm hm, hm hm hm. Ya ta doo doo doo. Ba ba ba, la da da."
"I wonder if he sings in the shower too." Nora giggled glancing at Jaune.
Jaune simply sagged while shaking his head with a slight reddish tinge on his cheeks.
Donut: "Man, Caboose sure can make a mess for just one person. Although, I guess he was trying to make another person. Which technically would make this a mess for two people."
"You can't fault his math." Ren chuckled.
Donut: "I think Caboose would be a great Dad."
Pyrrha nodded, "I believe he would."
"I don't, but he can't be any worse than Tucker." Weiss chuckled.
"I don't think Blue team needs anymore parasitic babies." Ren deadpanned.
"Would Red team do any better?" Weiss asked.
Ren pursed his lips, "That is a good point."
Donut: "I wonder if I should have a kid. I never really thought I wanted one, but as I get older, I start to think maybe something is missing."
"Donut sounds young, I don't think he's that old." Nora commented.
"And even if he was men can have kids when their old." Ren added.
The Meta creeps around in the shadows behind Donut, where
Donut can't see him but as the audience we see his white armor.
"That's not Simmons or Lopez." Jaune frowned.
Ruby bit the inside of her lip, "They have white armor and look at how he's walking, like he's holding a heavy weapon."
"You don't think It's the Meta do you?" Weiss asked.
Ruby shrugged, "Unpause it."
As Donut talks the Meta continues walking behind him.
Donut: "Aw, I hope I didn't wait too long. I've been so focused on my career and having a good time, maybe it's too late for me. Oh great, now I sound like my Mother."
"Hmm, do any of you want kids?" Yang asked with a somewhat unfamiliar genuine tone.
"Kids plural? No, no hoho no!" Jaune laughed, "I want only one, boy or girl doesn't matter. But I do not want to deal with what my mom did." Jaune shivered.
"I haven't really thought about it." Blake shrugged, "If I meet the right person a long time from now and only if I'm ready. Their sex doesn't matter."
"I can't imagine you being very motherly." Weiss frowned.
Blake gave Weiss a quizzical look, "And you are?"
Weiss looked down, "No probably not. Although I guess I'm the same as you, but I'd like twins, sister specifically."
Yang nodded and looked over to Ruby.
"Oh uhh guess it's my turn?" Ruby chuckled nervously. "Well I don't know, I mean I think it'd be cool to have kids but then I can't be a huntress."
"Mom was a- oh. I- I get it." Yang frowned.
Ruby nodded, "Yeah, so only if I give up being a huntress. And I want at least one girl."
"What about you Yang?" Jaune asked.
"I don't think I'll ever want kids, Like Ruby I can't do what I love if I have kids to watch. I want to go on an adventure and see the world. If I ever want to settle down then maybe but I can't see myself settling down." Yang explained.
"Are you worried at all about what Donut's mom was?" Pyrrha asked as politely as possible.
"Well if I get too old then I'll just adopt." Yang explained. "The Grimm make a lot of orphans."
Ruby shook her head, "Yeah I don't think I'll ever want kids. I would rather help others than have kids of my own. It's... it feels selfish of me."
"It's not selfish." Pyrrha shook her head.
Ren nodded, "It can never be selfish. But if you see it that way then you could adopt like Yang."
Ruby smiled, "Yeah, good point Ren, would you ever have kids?"
Ren nodded, "Eventually, I want to live outside the kingdoms with an adopted child, whether they be a girl or boy doesn't matter to me." Ren smiled.
"Same here, there are too many orphans." Nora nodded, "I wish I could get them all. I could be the true super mom." Ruby and Yang chuckled.
"Well Pyrrha, you're up." Yang gestured for her to go.
Pyrrha blushed, "I would like to be a mom. Boy or girl or both. I want twins, I don't want to subject any of my children to a spotlight. I want my own children though, I could raise another not my own but... in the end I'm not their parent. I couldn't take their role without feeling guilty. I'd certainly raise them but I could never be their mother, do you know what I mean?"
Nora nodded, "Yeah, I get that Pyr. You could be like their cool aunt!"
Pyrrha laughed, "I can see that."
Yang let out a gleeful breath, "Cool, this was great. Ruby I'm happy to know you'd adopt. I could only stand raising one of you."
Ruby laughed, "Yeah, if you had kids there would be a chance of them taking after Dad or Qrow."
Yang's face whitened, "Or both." The two burst out laughing.
"Well whatever the case I don't think I'll adopt either, I want to explore like I said but if I had a kid I would have to settle. And I could never leave them like... her, but I would feel trapped." Yang explained.
"I just hope I only have one." Jaune sighed, "Whenever it happens. Just one."
"With your family history, not likely." Ren chuckled.
Jaune shook his head, "Ok, back to Possibly the Meta.
Donut turns around and sees the Meta who's now right behind him.
Donut: "Oh hi there, you scared me. I didn't know anyone was over here at Blue Base.... Strong silent type, huh? That's cool. Don't mind me, I'm just keeping the place a little tidy."
"That's definitely the Meta." Jaune commented.
"How is he a- no it can't be he died." Nora frowned.
"We just see the back of their head." Blake sighed.
"And if it was the Meta Donut would have been freaking out." Ruby pointed out.
"Donut has never seen the Meta." Yang counter pointed.
Ruby held up a finger but curled it up, "Oh. That's bad."
Camera cuts to show Tex's empty shell of a body.
"Real tidy." Weiss quipped.
Donut: "Yeah, a clean base is a deadly base. That's what Sarge always says. Sarge is our Commander. You'll get a Sarge over here I'm sure, but he won't be like our Sarge. He'll be blue!"
The camera pans around as Donut's talking, revealing more of the Meta.
"So they captured and arrested Washington, but let the Meta escape." Blake groaned.
Nora grinned. "Can we ignore the Meta and talk about a clean base being a deadly base! We need to get this room spic and sp-"
"No we cannot ignore the Meta! He's alive and has no A.I. he is going to kill everything." Jaune pointed out.
"Well without the A.I. he can't run his equipment can he?" Pyrrha asked.
Ren nodded, "You're right, so he's weak."
"Weak compared to what he was before. Still strong compared to them." Blake commented.
The meta growls as menacing music plays.
"There must be a reason he's not attacking." Weiss muttered.
"He could want information." Jaune suggested.
"But what information? He could be either trying to find Washington or find the Epsilon Unit." Blake pointed out.
Donut: "Man, the rest of the guys'll be so happy to have someone to fight. They're gonna be so relieved to see you! What did you say your name was?"
The Meta makes more menacing Meta noises.
"Donut is completely clueless." Weiss shook her head.
Donut: "Hmm, Foreign, huh? Love the accent. Really works for you."
"Him being mute actually does work for him." Blake hummed nodding, "Sometimes it's done wrong."
The Meta switches from his Brute Shot to a pistol
Donut: "I should probably move this."
Donut ducks as the Meta fires and misses.
"He's about as good as Church with a pistol." Ruby sighed.
"Good, I don't want Donut to die." Nora commented.
Donut: "Aw, don't worry buddy I already checked their weapons. All good, but thanks for helpin'."
Weiss and Blake facepalmed.
The Meta dry-fires a couple times, then switches back to the Brute shot, Donut kneels down to move Tex's body.
Donut: "Wooh, this thing's heavy. Maybe if I grab the leg-"
Donut moves out of the way as the Meta charges him swinging, making the Meta hit the body rather than himself.
"Donut is just plain lucky." Yang commented.
"Yeah." Blake shook her head, "It's really taking away from the Meta reveal."
"How?" Ruby asked.
"It's making the Meta look useless." Blake pointed out.
"Maybe that's the point, to show that he's less dangerous without his A.I." Ren suggested.
"Or just to be funny." Jaune added.
Blake just shook her head.
Donut: "We-hell, that was helpful. Thanks! Where'd you get that kickass broom?"
"That is not a broom." Nora growled, "His grenade launcher is so cool, but the blade wouldn't work for my baby. I still want a hammer."
Ruby sagged, "Aww, I was thinking about doing that."
The Meta approaches and aimes at Donut's face, making more
Meta noises, and we hear an engine in the background
Donut: "Uh, do you hear that?"
"It's a motor." Yang commented.
Simmons: "Hey Donut, are you in there? Lopez built you a motorcycle. He broke it."
"Lies." Weiss sighed.
Yang nodded, "Yeah it's an ATV not a Motorcycle."
"I meant Lopez breaking it and not Simmons." Weiss explained.
Donut: "Hey! Yeah, Simmons, I'm inside the Blue Base. Guess what, Blue Team got a new soldier!"
Yang began to cackle and soon the others joined in with light laughter in anticipation.
Simmons: "What? They sent another team member? Why would they do that, that doesn't make any sense."
Simmons approaches the top of the ramp, sees the Meta, and recoils
Simmons: "OH FUCK! Welcome to the neighbourhood, see you later!"
The Toon burst out laughing.
"He's abandoning Donut to buy himself more time to run." Nora grumbled.
Back to Dune where Grif and Sarge are being guided uphill by C.T.
C.T.: "Come on, move!"
"C.T. Sounds more annoyed than anything." Weiss commented.
Grif: "Alright already, we're moving. Don't boss me."
They get to the top of the hill to find Caboose surrounded by people with guns pointed at him, and the A.I. unit on the ground
"Hey look, one of the Alien's has the healing thing Doc had." Ruby pointed.
"I'm surprised you remembered that, considering it's not a weapon." Weiss commented.
"Some games have healing weapons, you shoot at your teammates and they get their health back." Ruby explained.
Yang nodded, "A support class, a healer." She added.
C.T.: "Hey, what's going on up here?"
Alien: "Rour? Rour."
Nora frowned, "Where are the blarghs."
C.T.: "Sabotaging the digger, huh? I knew it. Who sent you here? What do they know about us?"
"Aww that's a digger? Boring." Yang sagged.
"If it's a digger then you can get through mountains." Jaune explained.
"I'd rather go over them, to see what's at the top." Yang explained.
Sarge: "Dammit Caboose, why do you keep messing with the vehicles?"
Caboose: "Oh, yeah I was just trying to find a home for Epsilon. No biggie."
"Caboose goes from being shy about what he's doing to being open." Pyrrha chuckled.
"From secretive to a possible excuse." Blake added.
"You're too paranoid." Nora commented.
"You're too hyper." Blake shot back.
"You can never be too hyper." Nora grinned.
C.T.: "What? What is that thing?"
The ground begins to shake.
Smith: "Rour. Ruour rour."
A giant door slides up on the temple.
"Did Caboose do that?" Pyrrha asked.
Ren shrugged.
C.T.: "Shit, he's opening the temple! Dammit! Are you with him?"
Grif: "With who?"
"Tucker." Jaune grinned, "It has to be Tucker."
"He wasn't with the other bodies." Blake nodded.
C.T.: "Awh, crap! Get down there. Kill him if you have to and don't let that door close again no matter what happens!"
Everyone scatters as the music picks up.
Everyone leaned forward, their hearts began to race with the action.
Sarge: "Hurry, let's move!"
Grif: "Let's get the fuck outta here!"
Soldiers and aliens make a run for the temple, and begin shooting at Tucker off screen, one Alien dies.
"It might not be Tucker." Jaune frowned.
C.T.: "Oh shit! Smith! Turret!"
More firefighting with Smith running to a turret.
C.T.: "Over there!"
"He's a real help, he has a gun too." Weiss chuckled.
Grif enters the Behemoth and takes the wheel as fighting continues outside
Grif: "Yeheah, seeya suckers. You just got yoinked! How the fuck do you drive this thing? Why are there only four levers if there's six directions? What the fuck is second gear?"
"Why are there six pedals if there's only four directions." Yang laughed.
Jaune nodded, "They have a lot of references to past jokes."
The Behemoth starts moving, with Sarge running alongside
Sarge: "Grif, if you're gonna run away in the middle of battle, at least have the decency to drive faster than I can run!"
"He's provided cover." Ruby defended.
Grif: "Is the emergency brake on, I don't get- okay fuck this, this is stupid."
Grif bails on the controls
Soldier: "Get down!"
Fighting continues, a jeep crashes and expels a soldier
Soldier: "Ah fuck!"
More fighting with Smith getting a grenade to the head.
"Blue spider grenade!" Nora grinned.
"Yeah it's definitely not Tucker." Jaune sighed.
"Yeah whoever it is, is badass." Yang added.
C.T.: "Cover me! Fall back!"
Grif, Caboose and Sarge come up a dune and see Tucker as the music hits it's peak.
Tucker: "Hey guys, run for the temple! I'll cover you, hurry!"
"What!" Jaune laughed, "He was great, a- woah look at the sword."
"Ahh!" Ruby squealed as she fumbled with Velvet's spare camera.
"Oh! Good idea Ruby get a picture." Jaune grinned.
"You know all the scientists want is a way to conserve the hard light dust." Weiss pointed out, "A picture might help with the shape more but... not much else."
Ruby was undeterred, with a flash Ruby grinned, "Ha, got it."
Caboose: "Oh, my Tucker! Is that you?"
"His armor is aqua again." Jaune smiled, "I've always liked the aqua more than the teal."
"I liked the realistic looks of the game before this one." Blake shrugged.
"Ring three." Ren explained.
Tucker: "Yeah, of course it's me. Now move!"
Caboose: "So, where've you been?"
Pyrrha laughed.
Tucker: "What is this, some kind of fucking reunion? Move your asses, idiots. I'll meet you over there."
Jaune grinned, "I... I really want that sword."
They all run off in the same direction.
Sarge: "What in sam hell was all of that?"
Grif: "Who cares, just move."
The screen cut to black.
"Well now we know why the episode's called 'Well Hello'" Pyrrha chuckled.
