A.N This is my first Fanfic and honestly I'm not the best at this kind of thing but I thought I would just give it a shot, I'm open to criticism as it will help me improve. Feel free to leave a review, I would like to hear what you think
I'm also Australian so my OC will be...lets say...different, so if you have any questions on the slang my OC MIGHT say or questions about the story, just PM me and I'll get back to you.
Lastly I'll be using existing tech from other universes like weapons, armour, vehicles etc to help you visualise what it'll look like, I'll put it in brackets and then you can search it up to get a good look at it.
Alright thats it I think, I hope you enjoy!
Chapter 1: Unity Resources Group
Day: Friday, Time: 01:00, Location: URG All Under Heaven over the Northern Vale Sea
Vajo was looking into the mirror in the bathroom in his black bodysuit and as somebody walked in he looked over to his left and was saluted by a URG soldier
"Sir!"
"At ease"
The URG soldier stood at ease "Yes Sir"
Vajo leaned on the sink and looked him "Did you need something soldier?"
"Yeah Lieutenant Juno was looking for you, she's in hanger bay 4"
Vajo nodded "Alright thanks I'll be there in a bit" The URG soldier nodded and left, Vajo sighed and left the bathroom and started to make his way to hanger bay 4.
As he entered he saw Sword Class Multi-Role Fighters (X-02S Strike Wyvern) and Phoenix Class Heavy VTOL (ISA Heavy VTOL) all lined up, he noticed that Lieutenant Juno was on the far side of the hanger she was about 5"0, had pale skin, blond hair, sky blue eyes and was wearing a pilots g-suit, as he started to make his way towards her, he called out
"Lieutenant Juno!"
Saw her turn around and smile "Hey there big guy I was wondering where you were, what were you up too?"
Vajo looked down towards her and crossed his arms and said "Don't worry about it besides I'm here now aren't I?"
Juno shook her head and smiled "You know, you're pretty hard to track down, at one point you'll actually make my job harder"
Vajo sighed "Well I'm here, did you need something?"
Juno replied "Yeah the gunship is ready and I was wondering if you were"
Vajo looked at her gunship, it was a Phoenix Class Heavy VTOL, it had a rocket pod and 4 AS missiles on each wing, 30mm-35mm calibre chin-mounted autocannon, a large cargo hold with ample space for soldiers and supplies and also where the co-pilot was to provide mission briefings.
"Yeah, let me gear up and then you can take me to the forest of Forever Fall"
Juno gave a thumbs up "You got it, I'll ready the crew"
Vajo turned around and jogged over to the exit and jogged down a hallway to a room and stopped in front of it and used his military grade scroll to open the door he saw that all the bunks except his own were occupied by URG soldiers he walked quietly to his locker and to equip his armour and weapons.
His bodysuit is capable of regulating body temperature to suit weather conditions, protecting the user from airborne toxins (with helmet equipped), his armour goes over the bodysuit for comfort, the bodysuit was made out of a enhanced synthetic fibre called aramid which grants the user a high level of protection without sacrificing mobility, the bodysuit contained millions of nanites, in the event the bodysuit was pierced the nanites will seal the users wounds and repair the armour, (Vajo wears the regent armour from Elex), the armoured plating was made out of a lighter composite material used for War purpose built airships making it practically immune to small arms fire (small arms range from pistols to light machine guns).
The armour also had many pockets for extra ammo, first aid trauma kit and variable grenades, he can generate a energy dagger on his right forearm called a ripjack and on left forearm was a grappling hook launcher which could also send electrical currents to whatever its attached too, his armour is also equipped with experimental tech such as a hard-light shield and a cloaking device, the hardlight shield uses hard-light dust (hence the name) to protect the user from harm, be it from ranged weapons or melee weapons, both pieces of experimental tech have a limited power supply the armour can drain the users aura to recharge them, but to counter this the armour had an inbuilt supply of stimulants which could increase the regeneration rate of the users aura by a significant amount but also leaves the user at risk at an overdose.
Vajo grabbed his helmet and put in on, his HUD light up and ran a systems diagnostic.
Bringing systems online…stand by…
Vitals…online
Aura level…online
A.I…online
Emergency stimulants…online
Nanites…online
Hard-light shields…online
Cloaking unit…online
Tracker…online
IFF tracker…online
System online, clear to proceed.
Vajo then grabbed his custom URG Assault rifle (Agency Ultra Assault rifle design) which could link up to his helmet so he didn't have to aim in, a grenade launcher assembly underneath the barrel which can fire his experimental grenades, experimental 7.62mm dust ammunition with armour piercing tips and then he grabbed his standard issue URG 10mm semi-automatic pistol (MR6 design) and holstered them in their respective places.
Vajo cautiously grabbed his own unique experimental anti-armour grenades and placed them inside a armoured case on the side of his right thigh so it wouldn't risk a rupture, the grenades were capable of eating through heavy armour with ease, the freelancer's equipment allows him to become a very versatile foe to go up against.
Vajo, now finished with equipping all his gear then turned and started walking towards the hanger but on the way he saw the captain of the URG All Under Heaven, His skin colour was dark, he had green eyes and black hair with a military cut and stood at about 6"6 and was wearing his officers dress uniform with the URG symbol (Symbol of Caduceus on a shield).
Vajo stopped, stepped to the side and immediately saluted "Captain Cole, Sir!" His helmet changed his voice making it seem more synthetic.
Captain Cole looked at Vajo and said "At ease soldier"
Vajo then stood at ease
Captain Cole "I was just looking for you, the mission you're going on is a personal favour from the Director, I hope it goes well…for our sake"
Vajo nodded "Don't worry sir, I'll get it done"
"Good, you're dismissed"
Vajo gave a quick salute and jogged towards hanger bay 4 and when he entered he saw Juno's gunship online and just doing some pre-flight preparations as Vajo jumped in he gave Juno the signal to take off and then Juno grabbed her scroll
"All Under Heaven this is Goliath 2-3 are we cleared for take off?"
On the other side of the radio she heard a female voice
"Copy that Goliath 2-3 you're cleared for take off, Happy Hunting"
Juno replied "Copy that All Under Heaven Goliath 2-3 out"
Then the gunship lifted off the ground flew out of the hanger and after getting a good look of the URG All Under Heaven (Kilimanjaro Class Dreadnought)before the door closed and Vajo sat down and contacted Juno
"Wake me when we arrive at Forever Fall"
Juno replied sarcastically "Yeah sure thing Sleeping Beauty, need anything else?"
Vajo rolled his eyes and smiled under his helmet "Yeah make sure you activate the disruption emitter before we reach Forever Fall can ya do that for me hon?"
Juno laughed and said "Ha whatever you say boss man!"
Vajo leaned back and closed his eyes as he started to block out the noise around him he started to hear voices and started seeing fires and people with weapons covered in blood and then he saw a woman with a baby in one hand and a child running with her and his held together.
*Line Break*
Day: Unknown, Time: Unknown, Location: Unknown
"RUN WE HAVE TO GET TO THE BULLHEAD"
"Mommy are they going to hurt us?"
"Yes they are but don't worry I won't let them hurt you or your sister"
"GET EVERYTHING BEFORE THE GRIMM GET HERE!"
"Come on we're almost to the bullhead"
As they ran towards the bullhead Vajo looked backed and saw the figures starting to run away as black animal like creatures started to come out of the tree line.
"SHIT! THE GRIMM ARE HERE, COME ON FASTER!"
The mother kept running and tripped and fell over on her side, she looked up and slowly got on her knees and turned to look at the now emerging animal figures coming out of the tree line and turned back to look at the boy.
"Here take your sister and run straight to the bullhead and no matter what DO NOT STOP"
"What about you mommy?"
"I need to find and help daddy ok?, whatever happens to me I want you to make sure that you protect each other, she may be a Faunus but she's your sister alright?"
The child nodded with tears in his eyes
The mother looked at her children one last time she had a fierce and determined look to protect her children
"I love you, both of you"—she gave her children a kiss on the forehead—"NOW RUN!"
The child nodded and turned towards the bullhead and started running as the mother turned around and drew her handgun from her right hip and drew her sword from her left hip and started running towards the black animalistic creatures.
The kids ran as fast as they could, when they got to the bullhead that was protected by what seemed to be 2 of the towns militia one of them lifted them up onto the bullhead before giving the signal to take off as 2 militia guards stayed behind to aid in the fighting but as the bullhead lifted off the ground and into the sky it was attacked by a large bird like creature with a bone like faceplate with red eyes damaging one of the bullheads engines before leaving the ship to its fate while the pilot turned his head towards the cabin and yelled to the passengers
"ENGINE 1 IS HIT, HUDDLE UP AROUND THE KIDS AND PREPARE TO BRACE YOURSELVES WHILE I CLOSE THE SIDE DOORS AND TRY TO FIND A PLACE TO LAND!"
The pilot then picks up his radio and sends out a transmission on all frequencies
"MAYDAY MAYDAY THIS IS CIVILIAN TRANSPORT 3 ENGINE 1 IS HIT, IM TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO SET THIS DOWN I'M ACTIVATING OUR EMERGENCY TRANSPONDER, PLEASE ANYONE WHO'S LISTENING PLEASE HELP!"
After he sets down his radio the engine of the left side of the bullhead starts sporadically turning on and off and suddenly ignites and catches flames and tipping the stability of the bullhead to one side, the pilot immediately grabbed his radio and sent out another transmission.
"MAYDAY MAYDAY THIS IS CIVILIAN TRANSPORT 3 WE'VE LOST ENGINE 1 ANYONE ON THIS FREQUENCY PLEASE RESPOND!"
The pilot quickly faced the cabin and yelled
"BRACE YOURSELVES WE'RE GOING DOWN!"
The adults all huddled up around the kids as the bullhead spun out of control and everyone closed their eyes as the bullhead hit the ground…
*Line Break*
Day: Friday, Time: 02:30, Location: Over the Northern Vale Sea 800m to the forest of Forever Fall
*GASPS*
Vajo woke up breathing heavily, he got a bearing of his surroundings and only saw Juno's co-pilot on a terminal. Vajo stood up and walked over, "Where are we?"
"We're over the Vale sea with the shoreline coming into view"
Vajo patted him on the back "Thanks Jake", he opened up the side door and got a good look at the dark scenery over the beach before it changed into a forest, then the dropship's interior lit up red
"I've got a lot of movement on the radar" Juno said alerting the crew to get ready
Vajo used his helmets comms and questioned "Grimm?"
Juno switched to TADS (Target Acquisition & Designation System)
Juno took a good look at the unknown radar contacts and confirmed it wasn't Grimm but unknown armed foot individuals
"Negative unknown foot individuals moving around, they appear to be armed"
"Vale Military perhaps?"
"Doesn't appear to be military, their gear varies and seems to be a bit primitive even by Vale's standards and they aren't equipped with their standard Vale gear besides I didn't get any reports of Vale military forces in the area, they might be the ones were looking for"
"How many unknowns are there?"
"Seems to be about 60 plus foot individuals" Juno said but as they got closer she noticed another hidden unknown which seemed to be a improvised pickup truck with a make shift turret on the back
"Scratch that we got foot individuals with a technical!"
As soon as she said that she got a lock on from the unknown personal below and she immediately said to the crew "HANG ON TO SOMETHING THEY'VE GOT A LOCK ON US!"
Vajo closed the side door and held on to whatever was closest to them as Juno flipped a switch "Chaff and flares deployed!"
"Be advised, the unknowns are now confirmed hostile, you're free to engage"
"Copy that, prioritise targeting the technicals and personnel with AA" Juno switch out of TADS and before you knew it the autocannon opened up on the unknown contacts below tearing through hostile infantry, the gunship then moved into position to target the hostile technical
"I've got a lock on a technical, Fox Two Fox Two!" then a AS missile hit the hostile technical destroying it instantly and the explosion lit up like a fireworks convention as it was bright enough for anyone to see a good distance away.
*Line Break*
Day: Friday, Time: 02:40, Location: Beacon
Meanwhile in Beacon Tower…
Headmaster Ozpin was with Glynda Goodwitch, she was giving reports on her students while the headmaster was enjoying the view with a nice cup of coffee and he noticed in the distance some explosions and a large fire coming from the source he immediately became curious and turned to face Glynda
"Contact Teams RWBY, JNPR, and CVFY and tell them to come to my office immediately"
Glynda nodded and quickly pulled out her scroll to contact them
"What do you think that could be about?"
Ozpin just thought about it for a moment "Hmm I'm not to sure, hopefully it's something trivial" he said knowing it was unlikely
"Then shouldn't we send the staff or a couple of fourth year teams instead?"
"No most of the fourth year teams just came back from their assigned contracts and besides I believe Teams RWBY, JNPR and CFVY are more than capable of handling themselves.
10 mins later…
The elevator chimed and opened up, headmaster Ozpin looked up only to see 3 Teams of tired teenagers in their combat gear.
"Ah yes thank you for responding quickly to the urgent message that I had Miss Goodwitch send you"
The leaders of each team stepped forward showing that they were ready for whatever mission they had while the headmaster placed his scrolls display on his desk making it enlarge into a bigger view of what seemed to be a forest.
The leader of the second year team, Team CFVY stepped forward "Professor Ozpin what are we looking at?"
The Headmaster took a sip of his coffee and showed more screens of the forest that seemed to be different angles of the forest some showing a fires, and you can see figures with Grimm masks on and the White Fang symbol on it and it looked like they were being attacked by something in the air but that wasn't the only problem as some of the screens just showed static for some time and turned on again like there was nothing wrong with it, this made one person in the room really uneasy.
"This students is the Forest of Forever Fall and it seems that at the far edge of the forest seems to be occupied by a hostile force thats being assaulted by an airborne target, though we're unsure if the airborne target is an enemy or an ally in this situation so we're sending all of you to investigate"
Some of the students had a worried look on their face while some had an enthusiastic and energetic look while the rest just had a straight thinking face
"I want you to investigate ONLY and if possible bring whoever is doing this here, attempt to do so without a fight but if it comes down to it your allowed to engage if you deem it necessary, if your missions is a success you'll receive extra credit, your transports are ready at the landing pads, you're dismissed"
The students nodded and started to walk towards the elevator while a young girl with a red cape stopped and turned "We won't let you down professor" and then Professor Ozpin just smiled and nodded.
At the landing pad…
As the three Teams approached the landing pad they saw a group of heavily armed and armoured soldiers beside a Phoenix Class Heavy VTOL Transport, the blond from Team JNPR had a really bad feeling about them but as soon as they got into their own bullheads they heard explosions and faced towards the source as there was a large fire with smaller explosions occurring near it, they gave their pilots the signal to take off and started to fly towards the disturbance.
"So…what do you think it is?" Yang asked
"Maybe its a FIREWORKS CONVENTION!"
Ren sighed "Nora… that doesn't explain the White Fang members being there and shooting at something in the sky"
"Whatever it is we should be careful I've got a bad feeling about this one" Coco said worriedly
"Yeah…we should…by the way what's with those guys we saw back there?" Jaune questioned
Then the Mistral Champion spoke up "Those guys are freelancers from the Unity Resource Group, they're an PMC organisation that rivals Atlas technology but not its military numbers, they have the best training, gear and the best pay but what sets them aside from other groups is their sense of morality as they always send their own to help villages in dire need of help that the kingdom cannot provide"
"Really, why are they here though?" Jaune asked
"They're probably here for a resupply so that they can travel to the other Kingdoms for their missions, they even take on contracts from the SDC" Pyrrah said
"Yeah I've seen some before I left to attend Beacon, my father gave them a contract for them to protect SDC cargo trains that were being attacked from White Fang and Grimm, some were even bodyguards for some of the members in my family"
"Yeah but never the less I would keep my dist-" Coco said before she was interrupted by ground fire hitting the bullhead multiple times causing minor damage.
The pilot yelled "WERE GONNA CIRCLE AROUND TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO LAND!"
"That's fine after we get off get back to Beacon and make sure the ship is in good condition before we call for you to come get us!" Ruby said
The pilot nodded and started to land the bullhead with the other 2 bullheads landing next to them, after the teams quickly disembarked the bullheads took off quickly hoping not to get shot down by the White Fang forces.
The 3 teams stuck together to not get easily flanked by White Fang forces but as soon as they made their way towards the sources of gunfire they saw a gunship and 4 missiles come from the ground towards the gunship but it seemed to miss as the gunship launched 8 really bright lights that seemed to shine bright for a while before disappearing the gunship then started to reposition itself as it launched an AS missile towards the ground which caused a large explosion which made the ground shake a bit and then the students looked at the gunship again and saw someone jump out of the gunship before it took off.
*Line Break*
Day: Friday, Time: 03:00 Location: Forest of Forever Fall
Juno kept manoeuvring the gunship to avoid getting hit by anti air, then she noticed 3 radar contacts coming in fast before they were turned away by White Fang forces Juno and her crew wiped out most of the White Fang forces only detecting 20 plus left, then Juno positioned her gunship to where most of her targets lined up, "I'm in position for a strafing run…rockets away" the gunship then moved towards them while launching rockets from the rocket pods annihilating most of their remaining forces and wreaking havoc on the forest all they had to do was mop up before they were getting a lock on warning.
"Incoming missile, dumping flares" Juno yelled before saying "2-3 tally" and shooting the individuals with the autocannon, while another warning popped up as a hidden technical with a SAM launcher fired its load of 4 missiles.
"OH SHIT LAUNCHING FLARES!" Juno swung around to repositioned the gunship to target the technical
"Fox two sent" the AS missile launched and hit the technical, the vehicle exploded and caused a chain reaction due to the spare munitions
"Alright that's all of them" Juno said
"Let me out here, I'll make sure of it" Vajo ordered
"Copy that"
"Be advised I saw 3 bullheads land somewhere north of you, so you might have to deal with some people from Beacon, though thats what we were hoping for anyway" Jake said
"Alright good I've got this, get back to the ship if I need something I'll contact the Captain"
[Listen to Halo 3 ODST Rain ambience]
Vajo looked out the side door and jumped out using his aura to cushion the landing and as if on cue it started to rain and as he stood up to his full height and grabbed his assault rifle from his back and raising it up while he looked around the battlefield. There wasn't much left, all he saw was corpses scorch marks before spotting 2 wounded White Fang members near a bunch of trees that have seemed to remained unscathed from the battle. Vajo walked towards them and placed his foot on a members back that was crawling on his stomach while leaving a trail of blood, Vajo grabbed his sidearm from its holster and pointed it at the members head, he cocked it before pulling the trigger, and now looking at another White Fang member who was leaning against the tree and attempting to keep himself awake but then a member jumped out from cover and moved in for a frontal attack.
Time slowed for Vajo as he grabbed him by the neck with his left hand and then another member emerged from cover from behind, Vajo used his right forearm to hit the other away knocking her out as she hit the floor, the White Fang member on Vajo's left hand shouted "Cella!"
He was now being strangled to death but then white fang soldier grabbed his handgun and put it against Vajo's head before pulling the trigger but apparently the freelancer wasn't even fazed by it, the White Fang member kept pulling the trigger till he ran out of ammo, Vajo just tilted his head before using his ripjack to stab him in the torso before pushing the now limp body on the floor and then faced the man that was leaning against the tree.
The member that was leaning against the tree tried to pull out his hand gun but before he could, Vajo knelt down and grabbed his arm, he then took his handgun from him before standing back up pointing the gun to his head.
White Fang member pleaded "Please…have mercy"
Vajo just gave him a long silent stare before he spoke "You…slaughterer of the innocent…you've harmed those who've begged for mercy from you and now when you're on the other side of the gun…you dare ask for mercy"
Vajo cocked the members handgun before pulling the trigger killing him instantly Vajo then threw the handgun away before facing the last White Fang member, he then moved beside her head and pulled out his handgun, but before he could pull the trigger…
"BLAKE WAIT!"
