The War For Remnant

by gi5epi 579

The year is 2567 and Remnant is on the verge of war. Cinder has taken control of the Atlas government by putting a puppet leader in power and pulling the strings from the shadows. Tensions in the kingdoms are rising and it's only a matter of time before the war breaks out. It will be kingdom against kingdom in the war for Remnant.

AN: Hello there, and welcome to my first fan-fiction. So I noticed that there really aren't a whole lot of RWBY AU military fics. Fort Beacon is really the only other that comes to mind, so I decided to make my own. This is just a short little introduction/prologue that I came up with after I though of the idea. Well anyways on with the story. By the way go check out Fort Beacon it's really good and this was basically inspired by it, so go check it out if you're into the military and weaponry.

Beacon, Vale

General Ozpin sat in his desk watching the news on his scroll. A sudden coup had taken place in Atlas removing the entire council of Atlas from power including General Ironwood. Most of the world believed that the coup was led by another Atlesian general named General Himmler. However, Ozpin knew who was really behind the government take over. Cinder was the true mastermind behind the coup. He had VIA (Vale Intelligence Agency) spies looking into the unrest in Atlas for months now. He knew it was only a matter of time before the coup took place. Despite knowing weeks in advance, there was nothing he could have done to stop it. After the White Fang terrorist attack during the Vytal Festival, support for the current Atlas government was waning. Not to mention most of his spies were discovered and had to flee before they could gather any evidence. All they could gather was the identity of the true mastermind hiding in the shadows, but the spies couldn't get any evidence to support the fact that she was planning on overthrowing the Atlas government. If he brought it up with the Vale council without any evidence he would have looked like a fool.
Ozpin sighed as he set his scroll down. He was wearing the Vale Special Forces officer's uniform. It was all black with green trim. Instead of wearing a tie like most of the other officers, he opted for a green scarf with a silver cross pinned on it. Numerous medals adorned his chest as well as four stars on his shoulders next to his epaulets. A Jericho 941 side arm was strapped to his right leg. Ozpin leaned back in his chair as he thought to himself. A storm was coming and he knew it. Now that Atlas and its entire military were under her thumb, it was only a matter of time before Cinder made her move. The only problem was that, there was nothing on Hell or Earth that Ozpin could tell the council to allow him to send in a Special Forces team. Instead, Ozpin decided that he too would bide his time and wait for the perfect moment to strike. In the meantime he would continue to send in spies to monitor the situation in Atlas. He wouldn't dare risk sending them after Cinder though. After all she had discovered all of his previous spies and almost killed them all. No, only surveillance this time, he wouldn't make that mistake again.

AN: That's just a little taste of what I have planned. Realistically, Cinder would never really be able to take over the Atlas government, but this is fiction so I don't care. I also don't really have a set release schedule for this fic, but I will try to release chapters when ever I can. For those of you who want to leave a review, please be honest with me, I want to improve just like everyone else on this site.
