RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and was created by Monty Oum, may he rest in peace. The Half Life games were made by Valve.
Now where do I start? From the beginning? Very well. Over two years ago they arrived, they call themselves the Universal Union, otherwise known as the Combine. They did not come in peace, no, they came for our world, for its resources. As for how they for here, a portal opened up at Beacon Academy and they came through it. Swarms of them. Machines, or Synths as I have learned they are called, were the main force.
We defended ourselves, but in less than an hour our defenses were crushed. They took prisoners to their world, if they even have a world, and the rest of us were hunted down or captured.
Soon the other kingdoms fell, the whole ordeal was over in less than seven hours. They didn't kill us all. Jacques Schnee was the one who, in a sense, saved us all. The Combine found him willing to cooperate and used him as a interpreter for their intentions.
They made him the "leader" of Remnant, but he is just a puppet who always does as they ask. But let me get onto the more important matter.
The Suppression field.
This field blocks our ability to reproduce, which is a clear attempt to kill us slowly. When the Combine learned of our worlds unique property they used the field to block it as well. That unique property is aura. The Combine learned how to use their field to null our auras and as a result it also blocked out our semblances. In short no one on Remnant can use aura.
In the end all our lives changed. Martial Law is a common thing now. Combine have outposts all over Remnant and the more we sit by and wait the more our numbers go down. They do random raids and execute or take away people for the smallest "crimes". The Combine have made their base at Beacon, what was left of it really. It's called the Citadel and has become the personal home of Jacques Schnee and his family.
Not long after they took over the Combine set up Civil Protection, which composes of "normal" humans and faunas. Yet by all accounts most of them are brainwashed and drugged with something that keeps them from sleeping. They are just as cruel as the Combine.
But you must be asking what became of the Atlas Military or the White Fang? Allow me to answer those as best as I can.
The White Fang still exists though they are one of the most hunted groups in Remnant. From what I have heard they make use of guerrilla tactics though they are rarely successful. Last I heard they are lead by a Adam Taurus and consist only of Faunas. Their current whereabouts are unknown.
As for the Atlas Military well most of them are Overwatch soldiers (Not the game). The transhuman Combine soldiers. But James Ironwood, and a number of his men, still exist as normal soldiers. As far as I can tell they unwillingly serve the Combine as conscripts, they are of lower rank than even Civil Protection. Why the Combine have done this I cannot say, maybe it's an attempt to show that you can keep your humanity or stay a faunas if you serve them. Though I have no doubts that they will eventually turn the remaining Atlas forces into Overwatch soldiers or even worse.
As for the schools they have all been shut down and are the main bases of the Combine. Thankfully the Combine haven't learned learned about the maidens or the Relics. For now they seem content with draining our world of all it's resources and Dust.
Now I know what you are asking, what about the Grimm? Well no one has seen them since the Combine invaded. With all the panic they attacked but the Combine put them down quickly. Rumors say they captured a number and are experimenting on them.
As for Her, I cannot say.
But putting that aside some people have managed to escape and hide from the Combine. They are a resistance of sorts if not scattered and loosely organized. No effective resistance can be formed as the Combine are quick to crush and severe our means of escape.
But with the Combine came allies, the Vortigaunts. Now they may seem strange at first but like us they have been enslaved and seek to end the Combine. They say that soon a savior will arise, his actions in his world will be our moment to strike, so they say.
They call him the Freeman.
This has given us hope. However it is important to note that with the Vortigaunts came uninvited guests. Headcrabs, Antlions, and many other creatures. The Vortigaunts told us what these creatures are called just to clarify. The Combine don't seem to want to be rid of these creatures as they have made use of them. They bombed the island of Patch with headcrabs. It was a warning. If they find you you suffer a fate worse than death.
After only two years the Combine have established a foothold in our world. Our only hope is to survive long enough to form a plan. I have sent a good friend undercover into the Civil protection ranks. His actions have allowed us to slowly gather up those that can fight. As well as rescue many others.
Now unfortunately that is all I can say, I have much business to attend to. Much planning to do. Until we can talk again.
I am back.
This story will be updated soon.
Until Next Time.
