The year is 2552
Humanity faces a dark foe
The Grimm
A savage alien race bent on nothing more than the complete destruction of all humans
But, we still fight. Fight for the hope that one day, we can live without the fear of the darkness
Sirens blared throughout the ship. The halls filled with soldiers rushing to their posts. The ship board AI barking commands over the intercom.
~Miss Xiao Long. Your squad is ready and waiting for you~
The blond looked up at the intercom system, putting her waist long hair into a bun, she moved toward the armory. Upon reaching the armory, the door opened revealing her squad mate, Weiss.
"About time you got here" she said with a scowl on her face. She was the shortest one in the squad (While Yang being the tallest), her hair was white, and normally long and tied into an off-center pony tail. But it seems it was cut down to shoulder length today.
"And hello to you too princess" Yang replied
Weiss was already in her combat gear, as was the rest of the squad Yang noticed as she looked over Weiss into the armory
"Well I'm here now, so let's do this" She said slipping past Weiss
"Yang!" A small voice called out "You're late" The voice belonged to their squad leader, Ruby. Ruby was just taller than Weiss, with short, black hair ending in red highlights. She was loading the last mag of rifle ammo into her chest pouch
"Yes I am" Yang said walking over to her leader "Think you can let this one slide?" The grin on her face was enough for Ruby to forgive her. But this was no time for that
"We're on a tight time frame, you're lucky we didn't drop without you"
"We would have been better off had we dropped by now" Weiss interjected
Ruby shot Weiss a look then back at Yang "Suit up, we're dropping in ten"
"Yes ma'am" Yang said still grinning ear to ear "Say... where's Blake?"
"Reading, while we waited for you" A low voice said from the corner
"Aw kitten don't be like that" Yang replied. Blake's amber eyes met Yang's lilac ones. Blake was just shorter than Yang, her hair was long and black.
"Just hurry up so we can go" Ruby said as she slung her sniper over her back

"RWBY Squad geared up and ready" The squad leader said to the onboard AI "Awaiting your clearance"
~Roger that RWBY squad, you are clear for drop~
The team made their way towards their assigned drop pods. Ruby checking her rifle before placing it in her pod. Weiss loading her revolver and holstering it, then placing her AR into her designated pod. Blake Checking her blade and pistol. She quickly tests her holo function. Yang checks her last drum mag, placing her shotgun in her pod. She checks her rocket, making sure it wont blow up when they drop.
"Alright lets crack some heads" Yang exclaimed slamming her fist into her palm, causing her gauntlets to heat up
"We're not doing this to kill things you idiot!" Weiss snapped "This is an intel op"
"Excuse me for wanting to kill those, those things down there" Yang hissed back
"Oh trust me, I want those monsters dead just as much as you. I just know that our mission is to track their movements, not blast their bloody heads off!" Weiss' voice picked up towards the end of her sentence
"The only thing I trust in you princess, is that you'll bitch your whole way down till you see one of those things!" Yang's voice picked up as well
"Enough!" Ruby interrupted "You two can argue when we get back"
"If we make it back" Blake said quietly
Weiss scoffed and turned towards her pod
"What do you mean?" Ruby cocked her head at Blake, who was over looking the drop zone on the holo map
"This maybe just an intel op, but the drop zone is deep behind Grimm lines. It's practically a suicide mission" Blake pointed at the district they would be dropping into
"That can't be right" Ruby said with a somewhat worried look on her face "We shouldn't be dropping that close"
~The information you see is correct miss Rose~ The AI chimed in ~It is a slight change of plans, but the higher-ups are sure your squad can manage. Along with the new drop sight, there is a small mission update as well: Eliminate the designated high value targets~
"Hell yeah!" Yang shouted throwing her fist into the air
"Very well" Ruby sighed "Brief us on the way down would you?"
~Gladly miss Rose~ The AI hummed a small note
"Alright ladies. Time to drop some hell on these monsters!" Ruby said confidently to the rest of her squad
Making last-minute checks before they sat themselves into their drop pods, putting on their helmets and booting up systems.
The hatch closed, lights came on, screens lit up.
"Testing testing testing testing testing" The radio crackled to life with Yang's voice "All systems check. Awaiting drop" Her visor tinting lilac
"Check. Awaiting drop" Ruby spoke. Her visor tinted silver
"Systems check, operations at one hundred percent. Ready for drop" Blake said punching numbers into her keypad, visor tinting amber
"Clear. Awaiting drop" Weiss said. Her visor tinted ice blue
"RWBY Squad ready for drop"
