Earth - 2245

"Sir, you saw the footage, what should we do?"

The commander sighed. After years of battle, Commander Armstrong was tired. After nearly one hundred years of war, humanity was at finally at peace. For nearly 5 years, the 3 fractions, the United States, the UEN (United European Nations) and the Japanese Empire had lowered their weapons and trade resumed across the 3 inhabitable areas of Earth.

Yet the damage to Earth, to Humanity was done. Africa, South America and central Asia were waste lands, the population dropped from 22 Billion to little over 3 Billion. Lunar bases were lost and Humanity was reduced to at most, early 21st technology. Even after all this, it got worse.

"Sir, what should we do?" Armstrong's assistant asked. She was young, only 21, too young to have fought in the war.

"What do we do?" The aged commander repeated, as he turned the feed off, showing the black, red eyed "Creatures" attacking Austin TX, "Is find us descendants…"


CPL Lucy Dunkleman sighed, turning another page in her book. Debriefing they said, ten minutes of your time they said. It had been nearly 2 hours, since her CO told her to wait in this damn room.

Lucy was 25 and a Corporal in the US Air force. Her rank and squadron symbol, the Apollo's Wings, were stamped on her pilot's Jacket. Her dark blonde hair, fell just above her shoulders, slightly covering one of her emerald eyes. She wore dark blue jeans that were torn at the knees, a white t-shirt under her combat green jacket and brown combat boots.

Placing her book down, she began to play with the dog tags around her neck while watching the other occupants of the room. The first was a 30 something year old, nerdy looking man, wearing glasses over brown eyes. He was tall, with messy brown hair. He had introduced himself as Michal Luna, a reporter from New York. He had nearly interrogated both Lucy and the other Military officer in the room when he first walked in. He now paced around the room, obviously bored.

The other Military officer, was a 29 year old Lieutenant Hanna Zach-Jones. She had long dark hair held back in a ponytail, blue eyes. She still wore the military uniform, dark green, with a M97 Handgun at her side. She also seemed bored, but was ignoring it, humming a tune under her breath.

"Does anyone know how long we've been in here?" Michal asked, breaking Lucy out of her thought "Usually, I'd leap at the chance, for alone time with two girls, but when ones armed and the other looks like she'd bite my balls of if I got close, I think I'd pass." He took his glasses off and slid down the wall, sitting on the floor.

He wasn't wrong, the state Lucy was in, she needed to do something to ease the boredom. She was practically dragged from the streets, by US personnel. Her Mobile taken, yet she was allowed to keep the dagger in her boot.

Suddenly the door opened, a young girl in an officers uniform walked in, flanked by two armed guards. Then a man of Asian descent in a lab coat, with long brown hair walked in.

"Lucy Dunkleman, Hanna Zach-Jones and Michal Luna?" She asked, the group nodded. "Good, if you'd like to follow me please."

They followed her though the base, which seemed to be a maze of corridors.

"Can you please tell me why I'm here, please?" Michal part asked, part demanded to the girl.

The girl ignored him, not even reacting to the reporter. The man in the lab coat hid a smile as the Michal seemed to back away. The girl led them to a large room, with one wall covered in monitors. An aged man in a commander's uniform stood in the centre of the room. He was bald, with blue eyes and a battle hardened face.

"Commander Armstrong?" Hanna said, saluting her CO. Lucy made a half arse attempt at a salute, while Michal just folded his arms.

"Thank you, LT, but call me Jim" He said, as Hanna made a confused look at the Commander's statement. "You might be wondering why you're here"

"Why are we here?" Michal asked, the commander turned to stare at the younger man. Lucy could tell that the commander had took an imminent disliking to the Reporter. That was something they had in common.

"You are here" The commander said, turning towards the monitors "because of this."
He pressed a button, and the monitors flicked on. Each showed some kind of footage, some were from aero drones, others from solider feeds and CCTV cameras. Each showed strange creatures, covered in black fur, with bony white plating and blood red eyes. They seemed to attack soldiers and were unaffected by bullets. A bear sized creature, tore through a squadron of soldiers, before being knocked down by a tank blast.

All three of them stood in awe. Lucy had seen, footage of the UEN immortals in battle, but even they seemed weak compared to these creatures.

"Well," she said "That was a thing".

The Man in the lab coat sniggered, even the commander smiled.

"What?" Lucy said.

"Are any of you three familiar with a show known as RWBY?" the man in lab coat asked.

All three shook their heads. Lucy caught sight of his shirt, it was old, patched and torn in some places. It looked like it was once a dark purple, with a strange black symbol in the middle.

"It started as a web series in the early 21st century, until the 7th volume, when it was transferred to the RT TV channel, they made roughly 27 volumes, most of which have been lost due to the war."

"What has a 21st century series got to do with this?" Michal asked.

"Because these creatures are from that series and you three, only direct descendants of the creators."

The three shared looks.

"During the late 21st century a team of scientists in Austin were somehow able to connect a VR device to the universe in question, but then the war started and we lost most of the research."

"What?" Michal said completely confused.

"Basically, a portal to this universe has reopened sometime near the end of 2nd volume, letting these "Grimm" though. We need to get into the universe and find someone to help us before the Grimm cause the truce between the factions to break apart. That's why me, along with you 3 are going to Austin to use the device to "jump" to their world." The man in lab coat answered.

"Look I have no Idea what is going on" Lucy said, "But I'm in. Sounds like fun"

"Same here" Hanna said, "If it means I get to kill monsters"

"Can I ask why you're coming with us?" Michal asked the man in the lab coat.

"Because you need an expert in the series and the gear" he said. "Also I'm also a descendent. My name is Jacob Oum."
