02x04 - Painting The Town...

[bunniefuu]

There's a point where it tips There's a point where it breaks

There's a point where it bends and the point we just can't take anymore

There's a line that we’ll cross And there’s no return

There's a time and a place No bridges left to burn

Anymore!

We can’t just wait with lives at stake

Until they think we’re ready

Our enemies are gathering

The storm is growing deadly

Now it's time to say goodbye

To the things we loved

And the innocence of youth

How the time seemed to fly

From our carefree lives

And the solitude and peace we always knew

Penny, I-I don't understand...

Most girls are born...

...but I was made.

I'm the world's first synthetic person capable of generating an Aura.

I'm not real...

Of course you are.

You think just because you've got nuts and bolts instead of squishy guts makes you any less real than me?

I don't...

Um...

You're...

...taking this extraordinarily well.

You're not like those things we saw back there.

You've got a heart.

And a soul. I can feel it!

Ooohh...!

Oh, Ruby!

You're the best friend anyone could have!

[Muffled groaning from Ruby]

I can see why your father would want to protect such a delicate flower!

Oh, he's very sweet!

My father's the one that built me!

I'm sure you would just love him!

Wow. [Ruby giggles]

He built you all by himself?

Well, almost!

He had some help from Mr. Ironwood.

The General?!

...Wait!

Is that why those soldiers were after you?

They like to protect me, too!

They don't think you can protect yourself?

They're not sure if I'm ready yet...

One day, it will be my job to save the world.

But I still have a lot left to learn.

That's why my father let me come to the Vytal Festival.

I want to see what it's like in the rest of the world,

and test myself in the Tournament.

Penny, what are you talking about?

Save the world from what?

We're in a time of peace!

That's not what Mr. Ironwood said...

Soldiers: Check down here!

You have to hide!

Penny! What are you doing?

You don't have to go with them! I can help you!

It's okay, Ruby.

They're not bad people.

I just don't want to get you in trouble.

Just promise me you won't tell anyone else my secret.

Okay?

I promise.

Soldiers: There she is!

Penny: Salutations, officers!

Soldier: Why were you running?

Soldier: And what happened to the other girl?

Penny: What girl?

I've been by myself all day.

[Penny hiccups]

Soldier: You shouldn't cause such a scene.

Soldier: Are you okay?

Penny: Just a scratch.

Soldier: Penny, your father isn't going to be happy about this.

Soldier: Please...

...just come with us.

Penny: Yes, sir!

Come on, my friend's right in here!

cOooL...

And where exactly is...

...here?

Henchman: Hurry, close the door! She's coming!

What are you two idiots doing?!

Henchmen: Junior she's- [incoherent talking]

Guess who's back!

Neptune: Yeah, so can you define "friend" for me?

Junior: Stop, stop!

Nobody... sh**t.

Blondie!

You're here!

Why???

You still owe me a drink.

Whoa-hoh-hoh-hoh...

What a woman.

'Sup.

Whatever.

This is it.

You sure?

Y'know, I'm just gonna take your word for it.

New recruits, keep to the right!

I don't get it.

If you believe what you're doing is right, why hide who you are?

The masks are a symbol.

Humanity wanted to make monsters out of us,

so we chose to don the faces of monsters.

Grimm masks?

That's...

That's... kinda dark.

So was the guy who started it.

Always sunshine and rainbows with you...

Thank you all for coming...

For those of you who are joining us for the first time tonight,

allow me to introduce a very special comrade of ours!

I can assure you, he is the key to obtaining what we have fought for for so long!

[Crowd protests] Roman: Thank you, thank you!

Please, hold your applause!

Faunus: What's a human doing here?!

I'm glad you asked, deery.

Now, I'll be the first to admit,

humans...

are the worst.

Case on point.

So, I understand why you would like to see us all locked away, or...

...better yet - k*lled.

Roman: But.

So, is he going somewhere with this or...?

Roman: before the claws come out,

I'd like to mention the fact that you and I all have a common enemy!

The ones in control.

The people pulling the strings. The dirty, rotten humans that run our kingdoms.

Government.

m*llitary.

Even the schools.

They're all to blame for your lot in life!

And they're all pests that need to be dealt with!

Fortunately...

I'm the best exterminator around...

No offense to any rodents in the room.

Whoa, that's a big robot...

How did he get that?!

As some of you might have heard, this right here...

...is Atlas' newest line of defense against all the scary things in the world.

And thanks to my employer...

...we've managed to snag a few before they, uh...

"Hit the shelves".

Now, many of your brothers have already moved down to our base of operations in the southeast.

If you'd rather stay within the city,

that's fine.

But if you're truly ready to fight for what you believe in...

This is the arsenal I can provide you.

Any... questions?

We should get out of here.

All new recruits.

Please come forward.

Sun: Welp!

I don't know.

How can you not know?

I haven't talked to him.

I haven't even seen him since the night you first came in here.

He paid up front, I lent him my men...

And none of them ever. Came. Back.

So where did they go?

What kind of stupid question is that?

They never came back.

Who is this guy?

Don't worry about him; worry about me if I don't find out what I want!

I already told you everything!

Torchwick hired my boys, and I guess he wasn't happy with them.

Which is something I can relate to!

[Henchmen grumbles] Hey!

Come on, Neptune!

We get everything we need?

Well, we got everything we can.

Hopefully the rest of the team is having better luck.

Sun: [whispering] What are we gonna do?

Blake: I'm thinking!

He sees us!

He can't see in the dark.

Roman: Don't let them get away!

Sun! The window!

Roman: Stop 'em!

So you wouldn't happen to have... oh, I don't know...

Some form of backup?!

On it!

Blake: Everyone!

If you can hear we we need- Sun: HEEEEEEELP!

Sun: Big robot! And it's big! Really big!

I am not missing this!

Sun: That Torchwick guy is in it! But not, like-

It didn't eat him; he's, like, controlling it or something!

Where are you guys?!

Sun: HURRYYYY!!!

I think that was them...

Yeah, I got it!

We gotta slow it down!

Got it!

Hold on!

Neptune, hang on!

Weiss: Blake! I'm in position!

Freezerburn!

Freezerburn - Yang/Weiss

Checkmate - Weiss/Blake

Checkmate!

Ladybug!

Ladybug - Ruby/Blake

Yang!

Don't worry!

With each hit she gets stronger, and she uses that energy to fight back!

That's what makes her special.

Bumbleby!

Bumbleby/Bumblebee (spelling is interchangeable) - Yang/Blake

We have to slow it down!

And how do you propose we do that?

Ice Flowers!

Ice Flowers (commonly "White Rose") - Weiss/Ruby

Just got this thing clean!

Ladies...

Ice Queen. Weiss: Hey!

Always a pleasure!

Neo?

If you would?

So I guess he got a new henchman.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess she really made our plans...

Fall apart?

No.

Just...

No.

What- Hey! You do it!

There's a time and a place for jokes.

Was this not it?

No, it just wasn't very good.

Well, at least I'm trying!

Wait.

Where are Sun and Neptune?

They're probably fine, right?

Probably.
