Hello, SA here. This is my first Fanfiction/Insert for RWBY. Feel free to review this if you liked it.
Prologue:
The World of Remnant. A planet divided by the humans and the Grimm. Huntsmen and Huntresses fight for the defenseless, heavy racism against the Faunus, and a Shattered Moon.
A planet, almost like Earth, except with a very different history and technological system. The inhabitants, extremely reliant on Dust, has yet to breach the edge of space. But all that changes when a rip in spacetime brought Remnant to our Solar System in our L4 point. The inhabitants, completely oblivious of the anomaly, are going about their daily lives.
Summer Rose strode along Forever Fall with not much in mind. Aside from the Nevermores, Beowolves, and the occasional Deathstalker, she is having a peaceful walk.
"Well, that settles it. I'better be going home now." she said, turning around to head back.
Something caught her eye as she was about to leave the area. A small structure, abandoned by the looks of it. It was only 10 paces away, but she cautiously walked towards it, thinking if it is a trap. Finally, she reached the knob. She didn't know what was inside, and she knew anything odd had to be reported immediately.
"Well, here goes." She opened the door, and found it dark and nearly empty, save for an impossibly smooth orb lying on the floor.
She picked it up, but before she could think anything else, she was sucked into the sphere. Afterward, the structure disappeared from Forever Fall, possibly forever.
After that day, the entirety of Remnant felt a slight shock. They had dismissed it as nothing serious and went along their businesses. However, what they do not know, is that they have been relocated to another star system.
Our own.

"Hey Jonathan, come over here! Look at what the Kepler Space Telescope saw!"
"What is it, Kelly, another mass of asteroi— What the hell is that?!"
"I don't know, but this has been seen within our own Solar System. It is located in our L4 point, and also Earth-like, with potential intelligent life."
"You must be seeing things. Come, let's go get some snacks."
"No, wait. Look!"
Jonathan and Kelly Bell are 24-year-old twins who work at the NASA Headquarters in Washington. Their job there is normally to perform SETI with a transceiver and the telescope. What they saw would be unbelievable, but it had happened. A quantum anomaly displaced a planet from its own system and put it there in the Earth's L4 point.
"You've gotta be shitting me."
"I know right? Even I thought that was just an illlusion."
"Let's go tell the others. Schedule a probe launch to map the planet and determine if it has a safe atmosphere. Get them to work on their rockets. We need to get men there ASAP!"
"Yeah! Let's go tell!"
Jonathan quickly opened up his comms, calling for their superiors to come and see what they saw. Kelly left the room hastily to report to someone what he had seen. In a few minutes, the Board Director, his members, and some random employees filled the room.
"My God, would you look at that! A nice picture of an Earth-like planet. Where did you find it?" said the Director.
"In the L4 point. Somehow—"
"But that is impossible!" called out a fellow researcher. "If it had been there, we would have seen or encountered it a long time ago, unless... I got it!"
"What is it?" called his co-worker.
"The theory I have been trying to prove! A quantum instability anomaly had happened just a few moments ago! A bend in space-time forced matter from another part of the Universe to come to that exact point. That has to be what placed the foreign planet here!"
"Huh."
"Guys, guys," said the Director, "we still have yet decided on a decision about the planet."
"How about a small scanner probe? That will determine some aspects of the planet, whether or not it is even safe to live in."
"Great! Let's get this started. Prepare the mission."
Everyone left the room to their post to begin planning the mission profile.

"Иди сюда! (Come over here!)" said Maksim Mikhailov, head researcher and engineer.
"Что, что это? (What, what is it?)" called out Katryn Vernikov, fellow rocket scientist.
"Сейчас мы обнаружили планету, подобную Земле, в точке L4. (We found an Earth-like planet at the L4 point just now)"
"Что, позвольте мне видеть! (What, let me see!)" said another person.
"Это правда. Как вы думаете, что мы должны делать с этой информацией? ('Tis true. What do you think we should do with this information?)" asked Maksim.
"Мы это заметим еще несколько дней. Затем мы решаем курс действий. (We will observe this for a few more days. Then we decide on a course of action,)" suggested Katryn, her eyes on the monitor.
People at Roscosmos were half-excited to hear of the sudden appearance of a planet. Some of them are already planning a possible mission plan to study the planet. Another group is designing the probe to be sent to the planet. Yet another began debating whether or not to build a new rocket or to use an existing one. It is pretty much chaos in either group, since there are a lot of arguments.
However, a few people stood out, two cosmonauts Gael Pavlov and Padma Volkova, for example. They are the most level-headed of the team, and had spent 500 hours on the ISS.
"Что здесь происходит? (What is going on here?)" asked Padma to a group.
"Мы планируем миссию для планеты, которая появилась из ниоткуда. (We are doing mission planning for the planet that appeared out of nowhere.)" said one of the mission planners.
"Ну, вы решили назвать еще имя для планеты? (Well, have you decided on a name yet for the planet?)" asked Gael.
"Мы все еще не уверены. Однако мы определились с именем заполнителя граница. (We are still unsure. However, we have decided on a placeholder name Granista.)"
"Тогда ладно. (Okay, then.)" They left afterwards.
Everyone got back to their businesses after the quick conversation.

"啥，在我们的L4点找到了类地球行星？(Whoa, what the heck? An Earth-like planet found at our L4 point?)" said Zhao Ren (赵仁), lead engineer of CNSA.
"是，我们刚刚发现了它。(Yup. That is what we found recently,)" said Wang Li (王立), rookie astronomer.
"你确定不是幻觉？(Are you sure that is not an illusion?)"
"真不是幻觉，我亲眼看见它动了！(No, Zhao. It is not, since I saw signs of movement.)"
"你为什么这么确定？(What makes you so certain?)"
"我观察了一些仿真，全都不符合现有的模型。肯定是有另一个引力场在影响着太阳系。(As you can see, I observed some simulations, and it didn't match the current model. That means there must be another gravity field affecting it.)"
"这也太扯了，但如果你在说实话，我们必须仔细调查这个现象。(So, I am still not convinced, but if what you are saying is true, then this has to be studied seriously.)"
"我同意。需不需要通知大家？(Definitely. I think we should tell that to the others.)"
"当然要，我待会儿会举行会议，你跟我来。(I agree. I will arrange a conference. Come with me.)"
Zhao left and Wang followed, with the former doing as he said. He entered the room, with Dai Ping Yang (戴频杨), president of CNSA, and Yang Wu (杨武), head mission planner already on the table.
"把我们叫到这儿干啥？(So why are we called here for?)" asked Dai.
"希望老赵你不是在浪费我们的时间。(I hope it is something good.)" asked Yang Wu.
"你们俩就不能有耐心一点儿吗？(We still need to wait for the others, okay?)" said Zhao.
"说了也不会要你条命。再说，他们都到了。(You should tell us. Besides, here they come now.)" Xing points at the door, with the rest of the conference members coming in and finding seats.
"大家听好了，老王说他在太阳系里发现了一个新行星。(Okay. Wang Li here, claims to have found another planet)" he said.
"我妈了个B，胡说！(What? That is preposterous!)" called out someone from the back.
"是真的！(It is true.)" said Wang in defense. "我还有照片呢！(I even got a recording of my observations of it.)" He switches the display into that of a blue planet, similar in size and texture, rotating along its axis. A broken moon is also just barely seen orbiting the planet at an inclination of 7° in a supersynchronous orbit.
"我们该这么做？(So what would be the best course of action?)" asked another one.
"我认为我们应该先从地面观察一下，再往那儿射个探测器。(We have to study it. Perform some ground-based observations before launching a probe.)" Wang said.
"那也太耗时了，做到头来美国都着陆了。(Maybe, but that will take too much time. I am guessing America will already be on it before us if we try that method.)" argued yet another person.
"是的，这方法或许是慢了点，但最后我们学到的比他们要的多。着陆时，我们的人也能走的比他们远。(Maybe, but our true goal here is to learn far more than our competitors, so when they actually arrive, we would know more than them, and can traverse better.)"
"话倒是说得不错，但是我还是不赞成你的计划。(I might have to disagree on that, however, it is still a good plan.)" said Yang.
The conference dragged on for only about 10 minutes when Zhao and Wang dismissed them.
"接下来...(So, what do you think?)"
"干活去。(We should start.)"
As the three superpowers embark on a space race, on Remnant, it is a different story.
After just a week after the disappearance of Summer, the family had assumed she had died. STRQ had also dissolved, leading them to taking their separate ways. The event had also taken its toll on Young Ruby and Yang; they felt sorrow and a sense of loneliness. Taiyang fell into a deep state of depression, and locked himself in his room. Ozpin has also taken some alone time since STRQ broke apart.
"Yang, is mom coming home yet?" asked young Ruby Rose.
"I don't know, Ruby, but she should," sighing as Yang spoke. "Hopefully."
They were outside, looking at the stars, constantly hoping that their mother would return.
At Beacon, Glynda, worried about Ozpin, decided to follow him to the rooftop. Upon reaching the destination, she saw Ozpin, just as she expected.
"Why are you here, Glynda?" asked Ozpin all of a sudden.
"I am here to ask you about the situation. What happened?"
"You didn't hear? Summer Rose had disappeared."
"What?"
"A week ago, she was out roaming around the forests of Forever Fall. She hasn't been heard from ever since."
"Oh dear, I am so sorry for her loss."
"Don't be, although even I have been hit hard when the news hit me."
"Well, shouldn't the rest of Beacon know?"
"They already do. I just felt like resting here, trying to contemplate the effects of her loss."
"Well, can you at least come back here? You have some preparations to do."
"Oh right! I'll be going!" Ozpin dashed into the door and went downstairs.
"If only I knew what is going on on his mind." Glynda sighed, and followed down the stairs.
