Disclaimer I don't own RWBY, not even close.
This story was inspired by all of those stories about RWBY being sent to earth or someone from Earth being sent to Remnant.
If you are following 'The King of all Demons' don't worry I am still writing the next chapter
Anyway, hope you enjoy it. And also in here blood will be common in Grimm, since they're still animals.

Chapter 1: Hammer, sickle, and The Scythe
Battle of Beacon, 5 years ago
The place had become hell.
The once prestigious academy was no longer. Grimm were in every corner; the White Fang were overrunning the last soldiers.
The light of hope… was lost.
There were ships evacuating all surviving students, the pace was slow but hunters and huntresses had been stationed to protect the fleeing ships.
The whole school had been abandoned… except for four individuals.
Weiss and Ruby went into the school grounds looking for their missing friends, Jaune and Pyrrha, Ren and Nora had told them of their missing friends and decided to bring them to safety.
They were fighting horde after horde of Grimm looking around for any hint of Jaune or Pyrrha, but the Grimm just kept coming nonstop 'Of course they kept coming, that enormous Flying Grimm just keeps making them.' Thought an enraged heiress killing another Grimm.
True to her word, flying above them was a never seen type of Grimm, five times bigger than a goliath, wings that flapped strong against the wind and a mouth that could open all the way to its neck base. A Dragon.
Said Grimm dropped some substance from its body on the ground which only created more Grimm.
*GHHHAAAAAA* (That's how I think it sounds but more high pitch and raspy)
Ruby and Weiss look up to see the dragon destroying the top of the tower.
'There must be where Pyrrha and Jaune are' thought Weiss coming up with a plan for Ruby to get there. Raising Myrtenaster she spawned several glyphs on the tower leading all the way up.
"You can do this" she assures her partner before seeing her run towards them.
"Now I just have to survive" Weiss said facing all the incoming Grimm, 6 Beowolfs and 3 Ursas.
An Ursa tried to strike from above while two Beowolf flanked her from both sides, she did a backflip and rushed towards one of the Beowolfs she made a quick stab succession on the wolf killing it.
She jumps immediately out of the way as a claw reaches to where she once was, she is quick to turn and select red Dust swinging the sword and setting three Beowolfs on fire.
She summons more glyphs and charges towards the Ursa, with a quick thrust she pierces its neck. The other two Ursa charge blindly as she jumps behind them and freezes them with her rapier.
The remaining Beowolfs are put down with more quick slashes In the throat, they cry a little.
But the cries don't last as they start dying out and disintegrating. She is tired but has to wait for Ru-.
*GRRR*
She turns around and sees 4 Alpha Beowolfs appearing accompanied by a giant Deathstalkers and a King Taijitu. This might be her end, she lowers her rapier closing her eyes.
'No, this won't be my end' a sudden rush of adrenalin flows through Weiss' body. Opening her eyes she brings Myrtenaster up waiting for the incoming attack.
The Grimm charge ready to kill the human before them, the attack at incredible speeds-
"AAAAAAHHHHH" before any side can land a hit an agonizing scream is heard soon followed by a blinding light.
The light blinds Weiss and the Grimm, some weaker even evaporating, the light disappears and clashing can be heard from the top.
Trying to regain her hearing Weiss hears gunshots close by and before she knows it she's being carried towards the cliff.
"Wait, Ruby is still there…" her voice becoming nothing more than a whisper. All aura left in her body leaves her making her fall unconscious.
That day Beacon had fallen. Vale had fallen.
And Ruby Rose went missing.
Menagerie, present
5 years after the fall of Beacon and the capital of Vale had been of much change to the world.
The population of the world was divided in two factions: the hunter population led by Qrow Branwen, the Atlas military led by General James Ironwood and the pacifist side of the White Fang, now named the New Fang, led by Ghira Belladonna all formed the 'Human-Faunus alliance', or Allies for simple, they fought their enemies who threatened the extinction of all intelligent life on Remnant, Salem Queen of the Grimm and her four 'Horseman'(get it? 'cuz she is like the apoca... I'll continue now) along Adam Taurus and 'his' White Fang they formed the 'Grimm alliance'. (I know, I suck at coming up with names to the alliances)
The world had been like that for the last three years, but movement was already happening months after the fall of Beacon.
The leaders already mentioned of the 'Human-Faunus alliance' had been on the movement since then.
Qrow Branwen during his solo travels through Remnant, encounter a scorpion Faunus who he engaged with combat after learning he was in fact a lackey of Salem. Qrow won that battle and even was able to cut that Faunus' tail but he was also heavily injured, but not enough to put him down
After that fight, he came to the realization that Salem had strong and intelligent people under her command. He then started to join other Hunters parties gaining their trust and revealing only some of them the identity of the true enemy.
James being a man in charge of a whole army had a lot in his hands.
He had to reorganize the whole Atlas Military, since all Atlesian Knight-200 could be hacked into working with the enemy they were shut down for good, only the paladins were left but they had been set only to function manually.
Losing a good percentage of the army with the shutdown of the Atlesian Knights, soldiers were trained harder and were then given the instruction to build their own weapon for more firepower and not only the use of a standard rifle.
In other words, the Atlesian military now resembled an army of well-trained hunters and not… well a normal army.
Also with the loss of Vale's CCT tower they spent many resources making all three towers to work again without a fourth.
And Ghira Belladonna ex High-leader of the White Fang and Governor of Menagerie, he actually didn't have any plans to join a conflict between the four kingdoms, but with the influence of his daughter Blake, who arrived at Menagerie some weeks after the fall of Beacon, he was convinced to make plans.
These plans involved the retake of the White Fang as his daughter putted it, and turn it back into an organization with the goal of equality through peaceful means.
Each one of them had accomplished a good deal of stuff for two years.
But it was at the beginning of the third year after the Fall of Beacon when the world would merge into a full-out war.
Mistral was attacked by the White Fang and conquered by the hordes of Grimm.
It was in that day the war was officially started after the capture of Haven Academy by the forces of Grimm and the White Fang.
With the use of Mistral's CCT tower a worldwide transmission was casted to all four kingdoms and some scrolls in Menagerie. In said transmission Salem made her first appearance to the world finally declaring war to all hunters and militaries that sought to protect Human and Faunus kind, that last part was obviously censored to Taurus' part of the Fang.
Grimm activity skyrocketed in all four kingdoms. And they (the Grimm) started to work with Taurus.
After the declaration of War the three human/Faunus factions contacted each other, Qrow was alright working with this New Fang, as they began calling it, but was a bit reluctant to work with James, but in the end they needed all hunters available and accepted.
Each established their HQ which fortified at their maximum capacities, James obviously in Atlas, Ghira in Menagerie, and Qrow in his final destination went to Vacuo where the headmaster was waiting for him and… wait *mumble mumble*… holy SHIT! Really?!... he was made the headmaster of Shade, the old man before him said his was too old for all that was happening.
(And now you're wondering what about WBY.)
Team RWBY or what was left of it, each dealt with their situations differently.
Blake as mentioned before returned to Menagerie with Sun as her company… he actually followed her like a creeper or stalker.
At first her only reason to go back to her home was to visit her parents, but when she heard that the White Fang was in Menagerie, she decided to retake the White Fang and there was only one man who was respected and feared by all the Faunus (except Sun who apparently didn't know him), her father.
And with that she started her journey and invited any Faunus who wanted a peaceful way to resolve things… and surprisingly they gather a good amount of numbers, not as much like the violent White Fang, but that would change after the Fall of Mistral.
Weiss after the Fall of Beacon was picked up by her father, and taken to Atlas where she became a prisoner of some kind in her own house, capable of moving freely, but with limited abilities. She soon learned that to her father she wasn't… well anything, almost as if she was a prize.
And after her younger brother was made into the new heir of the Schnee Dust Company she knew she couldn't stay there any longer. Thinking where to go, she realized she couldn't go to none of the three remaining kingdoms in there she could be recognized.
She set her destination to be Menagerie, a good place to start making progress with the Faunus population. And so, with the help of the family butler Klein she was able to escape Atlas.
She got a big surprise when she encountered Blake in Menagerie, but when she heard Blake's plan she gave her full support.
And lastly, Yang… yeah, Yang was DESTROYED after the Battle of Beacon. She pretty much got into a two-month depression, losing her arm of course affected her, but hearing that her little sister went MIA, those were the news that destroyed her.
With the help of her father and the Beacon faculty she was able to overcome her depression and continued to train. For Ruby, she repeated to herself.
After a month of training with her dad she left to Mistral to continue her huntress-training. I
n there she encountered JNR who she joined to form a complete team JRNY (Journey), during her stay in Haven she learned to control a little more her anger, she still got really angry when someone cut her hair, but now she could plan her attacks while angry.
She fought valiantly during the fall of Haven, but they still had to flee to Menagerie where Blake had contacted them, also saying Weiss was with them.
Finally, team RWBY was reunited… well most of them at least.
(And that is all you need to be informed of.)
This brings us to the present of the story. Both teams WBY and JNR were relaxing in a bullhead preparing themselves for the mission they were assigned: recognition of the situation of Beacon.
Every three months the 'Allies' sent two teams of hunters to look at the situation in the capital city of Vale. They had to make sure the dragon was still petrified.
Obviously after many years they grew and changed.
Jaune, stay the same height but his hair was longer and reached the end of his neck, his breastplate was the same (from Vol. 4) he had gauntlets in both hands, greaves in both legs that covered both sides, and a pauldron on both shoulders that were connected all obviously white with golden highlights.
His body was now more toned but it was almost unnoticeable with his clothing, he still used his Pumpkin Pete's hoodie, his pants were different but were still a little loose. His most noticeable feature was the scar on the right side of his neck, some White Fang lieutenant got him good and could've killed him if it hadn't been for his large amount of aura.
Ren had his hair lose all the way to his waist, his clothing consisted of a green samurai like armor with golden trimming's, Stormflower's blades had been broken and he decided to make them longer to cover more distance he also added a shifting mechanism which would bring the blades to cover the canons and make them look like katanas.
Nora well she pretty much stayed the same outfit she used to have, pink combat skirt and a white shirt with a heart in the middle, but her major difference was the Beowolf and Ursa fur the wore on her wrists and ankles, she used some paint to change the black fur into pink.
Yang had a brown long jacket that reached her knees, she was wearing tight black jeans and boots that reached her knees. On her arm, she had a Headband tied with her flaming heart symbol.
Ember Celica was still the same she didn't think it needed an upgrade, but her cybernetic arm indeed yes, during a reunion between Ironwood and Qrow she asked if her arm could be added the feature to high voltage so she could stun her enemies whenever they tried to block her punches or grab her arm.
Blake was wearing, just like Yang, a long black jacket with a white undershirt and black pants, she had Grimm armor on her shoulders and in her legs, but not a mask, thus showing she was part of the New Fang.
After hours of waiting they were at the entrance of Beacon.
"Man, it sure feels strange to come back here after five years" commented Yang trying to lighten up the mood a bit.
"It is, brings some… unpleasant memories, yeah" said Weiss starting to walk into the remains of the academy "but we can't let that stop our mission"
Everyone started to follow her steps.
They passed in front of the cafeteria, the library and were just about to reach the dorms. They had been silent the whole way, even the energetic Nora didn't dare to attract the attention of all the Grimm.
"Why do we have to get to the tower of Beacon exactly? We could've seen the dragon from the outskirts of the city" asked Jaune feeling a little nervous of being around the old campus "I mean the beast is huge there's no way we'd missed that"
Even after all the stuff that had happened Jaune still got scared going into unknown territory… even if Beacon had been known territory it was possibly the most infested Grimm place known to the Allies.
"Well Jaune we just happen to have the worst luck…" started Blake "…look up…" she heard Jaune mumble 'I don't see anything' "… exactly this weather is terrible and makes it almost impossible to see anything"
"But I mean couldn't we just have flown to the dragon to see if it was still in place?" asked Jaune looking around with0 sword and shield in hand
"If we had stayed on the bullhead the noise could've attracted Nevermores…" surprisingly Yang was the voice of reason this time "and if the dragon wasn't in place it could've been worse"
Jaune was about to say something else until he gave the statement more thought and yeah it was safer to approach by feet.
Even if he didn't like it he still had a job to do after all he was the leader of both groups, since Ruby wasn't there.
Seeing where they were Jaune ordered to stop "We're here"
Looking around they noticed that they were indeed there, just in the about to enter the giant clearing in front of the tower.
Ren looks up trying to see the giant dragon through the clouds, after concentrating he "Guys I think I see the dragon" informed to the other guys.
"Is it moving Renny, can we FIGHT IT!" the ever-hyperactive Nora was back "Maybe we could force it to be our servant and use against her Creator wouldn't that be AWESOME"
"I don't think that is a good idea Nora…" he said making his partner pout "…and no it doesn't appear to be moving"
"Well thank good now we can-" *Drip* Jaune was cut mid-sentence by the sound of a water drop.
Everyone turned to the entrance of the Tower and noticed something they somehow missed completely.
A pit. A pit full of black ooze that kept falling from the dragon. They knew what that was, Grimm kept appearing because of it. A spawning pit.
"Shit" Yang cursed under her breath, before turning to everyone else "We have to leave now"
It was late, Grimm were already at all sides Major Ursas, Alpha Beowolves along with their packs, Deathstalkers and some King Taijitu.
"Double shit" whispered Blake, grabbing Gambol Shroud.
"Everyone together NOW!" ordered Jaune grabbing Crocea Mors and taking a stance while everyone got into a circle formation.
Weiss prepared her Rapier up and checked her dust cylinders at blinding speeds not wasting any time.
Yang had her gauntlet in her left arm and a machine gun in her synthetic one, she took an open stance, raised her left arm and brought her right one to her side.
Ren took out Stormflower one on in its katana form and the other pistol.
Nora held Magnhild in its hammer mode she was the only one of the group who was actually smiling at the thought of being surrounded. Her mind was thinking something along the lines 'This just mean I can shoot in every direction. PERFECT!'
The two teams and the Grimm stood in a standoff for what felt like centuries, one seeing the chance to strike while the other waited for the inevitable attack to come.
The Oldest of Grimm kept staring, formulating plan to attack, ways to approach the enemies in front of them, but all that went to the trash as a rash younger Grimm, Beowolves and Ursas, charged at the group followed by other younger Grimms.
Said Grimm were squashed by Nora, who had a grin in her face, and started swinging left and right fending off the incoming Grimm.
Soon more Grimm started to approach towards the group of young adults, more Beowolves and Ursas, Boarbatusk, Deathstalkers and the occasional Creep all of these which were not even alpha class Grimm.
Yang started to run towards the Ursas, ducking under the swing of one of them she quickly spun around and threw a punch at the one behind it hitting it in the face and shooting a shotgun blast, blowing it's brains out. As soon as she was finished with that one she resumed running towards the other Ursas.
Taking into count the random nature of the Creeps Ren decided to use his semblance to disappear from their sights and using his katana and pistol to take them out one by one before they could pose any real threat.
Seeing Ren make quick work of the Creeps, Jaune prepared for the incoming Boarbatusk he evaded the first pair that came rolling, sliced the third Boarbatusk while rolling making a huge gash in the Grimm, kicked the fourth and jumped out of the way for the first pair, thus making them collide with their kin.
"Nora!" Jaune commanded an unspoken order.
"You got it Juaney!" Nora blasted the Beowolves she was fighting with, jumped into the air and smashed the Grimm.
Meanwhile Weiss and Blake were both occupied with a pack of Beowolves and a pair of Deathstalkers. Weiss made quick job of the Beowolves making glyphs to propel herself faster and making quick stabs in their necks.
All the while Blake was dodging blows from the Deathstalkers leaving clones behind to take the blow, when both Deathstalkers attacked at the same time she infused Ice Dust I her semblance making their tails get stuck together. She ran towards them switching her Gambol Shroud from pistol to sword, sliding below them and slicing their stomachs open, making some black blood to cover her vision.
While trying to get rid off the blood in her face Blake didn't see the incoming feathers of the Nevermores. When she finally got the blood off her it was too late.
She jumped out of the way, but still received a slash across her back 'fuck' she thought, she looked up and saw three giant Nevermores circling around them "Weiss!" she called out.
Weiss killed an Ursa and looked at Blake who pointed at the sky, following the Nevermore she knew what she was being asked to do. Quickly summoning an Alpha Nevermore, Nevermore with more bone plating's on its back, and a Queen Lancer, she got on the Nevermore taking the battle to the skies.
Yang finished killing the last Ursa but was instantly met with a King-Taijitu who was currently being fought by Jaune, who was inside the black head holding it open trying not to be swallowed.
He looked to the side to see Yang a little wide-eyed "A little help would be good you know!" he screamed, getting out of her stupor she ran and jumped inside the mouth alongside Jaune "Blast it!" he ordered.
Grinning she responded "Yes, sir!" and started to shoot making blood splatter into their bodies, but not making them falter in any way.
Soon both got out of the Taijitu's mouth before it fell lifelessly into the ground. The other head seeing its counterpart fall lifelessly into the ground got angrier by the second and letting a furious screech it charged at the pair of Hunters.
Breathing in and out Ren finished off the last Creep that had spawned and went in to help Nora, who was currently shooting grenades everywhere singing a melody *sigh* 'At least someone is having fun' he let out a small smile and started running towards Nora.
They had been able to fend off and push back a little at the incoming Grimm, but the Elder ones finally made their move.
After finishing off the Nevermores, Weiss was about to go back down to keep fighting when her summoned Lancer was taken down by two Griffons and two more coming towards her. Taking out the wings of the Nevermore Weiss loses balance
"AAAAHHH!" Weiss starts falling fast towards the ground, but before she can hit the ground she's caught by Jaune, who used the Taijitu head to impulse himself.
"Well doesn't this bring memories, right 'Snow Angel'?" Jaune jokes putting her gently in the ground.
"Oh haha" she says hitting him in the arm.
Suddenly Blake and Ren crash beside them "Little problem, the alphas finally involved themselves" informed Ren helping Blake up.
Just as Ren stands up Nora is thrown at him sending him to a wall with a bleeding Nora on top "Maaaan those flying Grimm sure now how to kick!" even bleeding Nora never stops being her own 'go happy' self.
All seven of them had about 30% of aura left with Jaune being the only one with still 50%
"And we're surrounded… again" said Jaune.
Same time, elsewhere
"Systems operative and ready to go" voice 1 says.
"Copy that, initiating in 60 seconds" responded voice 2.
"Dust crystals starting to charge" voice 1 informs.
"Nora duck, Weiss freeze it!" Jaune kept ordering them trying to keep with as much aura as possible.
"On it" Weiss freezes the incoming Griffons neck, Nora hits it with her hammer decapitating said Grimm "I'm out of dust" a Deathstalker starts to approach.
"You sure this is going to work" a tall figure asks the shorter one next to it.
"I have faith" the shorter one responds "I mean that's how I came here"
"Yes, and if it wasn't for that I'd be dead" the tall figure said with melancholy in his voice.
"Don't be harsh on yourself, besides you had your gun by your side" the shorter one said with a little humor in its voice "Yeah you're right"
Yang evades a stab at her face and hits the Deathstalker in the eye, before grabbing one of its claws, spinning and throwing it at a pack of Creeps.
Blake uses her last round of Dust killing a Major Ursa, before getting tackled by an Alpha Beowolf.
"Didn't you say there were some monsters on the other side?" the taller one asked feeling nervous.
"Don't puss out on me, we've got the best company of Hunters by our side" the shorter one said waving behind her where more people dressed in brown, green or grey uniforms with red and gold trimmings stood.
"And I still can't believe that's the name they put us" it complains.
"Hey! It's a cool name don't bad mouth it" it scolded the shorter one "besides we follow, track, and kill our target, if that's not hunting then I don't know what it is"
"Fair point"
"T minus 10"
"10"
Ren stabs his swords in the Beowolfs back killing it "Owe you one" says Blake.
"9"
Jaune blocks an attack from a Boarbatusk before stabbing in the side.
"8"
A second Boarbatusk comes faster than Jaune anticipated and hits him square in the stomach.
"7"
Jaune crashes against Nora dropping their auras into 29% and 15% respectively.
"6"
All seven are back to back again.
"5"
Grimm are on every side, this time no reckless attacks are made.
"4"
"Maybe this is it uh guys?" Jaune says sheathing his sword in his shield.
"3"
"Shut up Vomit Boy" says jokingly Weiss.
"2"
"Love you too, Ice Queen" responds mockingly Jaune.
"1"
'Ruby I'm coming' Yang thinks a Beowolf lunges for the kill.
A white portal starts forming "Alright MOVE MOVE MOVE! Remember kill everything that doesn't resemble a human" orders the shorter figure running towards the portal being followed by the company of Hunters.
A white light blinds the group of Hunters *BANG* and a loud shot is heard followed by more noises.
*TATATATA* A submachinegun sounds.
*SWISH**SPLAT* something hits the floor.
Teams WBY and JNR can´t make anything out, trying to regain their sight by rubbing their eyes.
"k vashim devyati!" they hear someone shout in a language they had never heard before.
*BANG*
"spasibo tovarishchu!" another voice shouts back, this voice sounds familiar, but they can't recognize it because of the language.
Soon they start regaining their sight and the first thing they notice is the lack of Grimm surrounding them. The next thing is the number of people that suddenly appeared, all of them have a similar uniform as if they were in the army.
They were showing moves of a trained Hunter, not as refined as them but still that of a Hunter.
They attacked in masses using everything to their advantages, any opening.
Soon in 2 minutes all Grimm that were surrounding the area were gone. Exterminated.
They started cheering not caring about the noise they were doing.
But what left them speechless was the familiar red that was among those Hunters.
Soon the one that had the same color saw them and smiled.
"Hey guys" Ruby Rose had been found.
And she appeared to have brought a super power into the frame.
Chapter one: over
Started writing these a year ago, before Volume 5, and just finished, because I kept getting distracted reading other fics. Anywasy this fic was inspired by another one named RWBY: The Red Nation but this one is no longer in the site (which is a shame).
This fics will change stuff the story of Remnant and Earth.
I'm a slow writer so don't expect fast chapters.
Anyway, comment and review
-The Knight in Dark Flames.
