Hello and welcome to the reworked fanfiction. I carefully went through paragraph to paragraph to ensure the wording and story is in order. Ive done my best to proof read everything. I changed little and added a little more here and there to make things clear plus better. I really hope you enjoy.

RWBY Hero's Rebellion Chapter 1

The New World of Remnant by Qrow Branwen

OK, so how did Mantle win the Great War you may ask? Well their technology was the deciding factor, not just any tech but space flight. Created at its time, advanced satellites with a new dust combination that broke the atmosphere. With hidden eyes in the sky, they took photos and saw the king of Vale was deploying his army in Vacuo for an ambush, the joint Mantle and Mistral forces redirected themselves to take the Vale capital by surprise. It was a shocking blow to the world that leads to a series of victories for Mantle until the war was over and tragically the world was not ready to live under the rule of Mantle. You may be asking now, what happened to the capital Mantle and its king? How did Atlas rise in power and what's going on with their allies Mistral? Well, that's a story for another time.

In the years to come after their victory they have since abandoned their space program and focused on more expansion and strengthening occupation over their newly conquered territories. Blazing fleets, monstrous fortifications, huge slave armies of robots and a vile antidepressant medicine that suppresses human will. It helps keep the Grimm away, however Atlas has a much darker role in using it to control humanity.

Atlas calls this a new age of power, learning and prosperity in a new world but it's still the same as the old, just more technical and darker. Well, it's not all bad. There are more cities than thought possible, the population is growing higher than ever before and the average life expectancy continues to reach record levels. However, a long life under an oppressive and aggressive rule is miserable. So, some people don't mind shortening our own lives in the hope to change that for everyone else in the world for the better.

That's when we come in, The Rebellion. Our leader Ozpin calls us the Home Guard of Vale and if Atlas wants to rule us then they will have to work harder for it. And I can say for sure that we are certainly failing at it miserably. Lately, the Home Guard has been met with several failed missions that have crippled our operations on this side of the continent. Atlas Naval Intelligence is smarter than we first believed that countered our movements, on top of this infighting amongst ourselves and other rebel groups have made Atlas occupation very easy. We have since fallen back to our hideouts like rats, Ozpin is now focusing on stockpiling supplies and infiltration of the Atlas military. Seeking out new recruits, sympathetic supporters and weak links in every Atlas organisation big or small.

Our numbers have sadly dropped to less than thirty in the big cities of Mountain Glenn and the capital. But for now, we will always stand as a reminder that there are still free people that fight for all of us against the dark forces we see today and most importantly, the ones we cannot see.

Ruby Rose

In the clear open sky Ruby was having the time of her life, until "Ruby get back here now, over!" said a voice through a headset.

Ruby was finally flying solo and she was enjoying every minute of it "No Sir, over" she replied happily while flying a victory roll in the air. Ruby loved flying even though she was a better huntress then a pilot, Ruby than took the time to admire the view of the country while her base commander was getting frustrated that she wasn't listening, she did several manoeuvres just to feel the pressure pushing as she twists, turns, pulls up and down the weight of it felt good.

command then demanded again "Get back to base now, your time has passed and. And... Oh, Ruby keep calm" Then suddenly the base commanders tone changed to concern.

Ruby didn't understand "What?" She asked then looked around to see two Atlas fighter jets fast approaching.

Though a headset Ruby then heard demands from the Atlas jets, "unidentified aircraft, state your identity, origin and current cores, comply or you will be shot down."

Command tried to advise, "Ruby, do not make any sudden moves we have a plan for this." As the two jets pull up at both sides, Ruby slammed on the breaks and tilted her plane's nose up to dramatically slow her speed surprising the jets as they fly past, then the two jets broke off left and right and Command yelled: "WHAT DID I JUST TELL YOU RUBY!"

Ruby then tilted her jet down to a nose dive towards the ground as the two Atlas jets followed getting in position to lock on, Ruby surprised them again and suddenly pulled up to flatten her jet with the ground pushing her up in a free fall as the Atlas jets speed past again, after passing her they did a slow pull up. The new long-range Atlas jets were fast but hard to maneuver while at top speed, Ruby figured that would happen, so she then quickly regained control and flew fast and low just above a river and flying in the shadow of the forest tree's, Ruby could not see them and they could not see her but then Ruby realised that somehow they detected her stealth jet.

Ruby then quickly pulled up as one of the Atlas jets makes an attack dive his guns on her while firing away, the shots followed Ruby as she tried desperately to avoid then but no use, as the left side was torn apart a shot want straight across Ruby's visor shattering the helmet blinding her vision, Ruby knew she had seconds left so she tilted her jet while blind to one side then ejected. as she shoots across the sky above the land a loud bang was heard when her jet finally exploded. Her parachute deployed with a painful sudden stop in the air as she starts floating down, she hits the trees hard until Ruby finally stopped and hanged above the ground.

Ruby ripped off her helmet off to see and takes a very long, painful deep breath, she had the wind knocked right out with the shock of ejecting.

She was horribly shaken up. Short moment later hanging in the tree's Ruby calms herself down, undid her belts and jumped down landing on one knee, Ruby had to get serious now so she starts to look at her watch and thinks "Ok, I've lost contact with commend, there could be Grimm and the Atlas jets would have reported about seeing me by now so the Atlas satellites that will soon be passing by will be looking out for me in this open ground. Plus, I left mountain Glenn ninety minutes ago and flew sixty miles away, plenty of time to get home... I hope."

Instinctively her huntress powers kicked in and she started using her speed to cover distance, armed only with a handgun for anything she ready's herself for Grimm. With little to no experience on facing danger to begin with.

Ruby will have to keep an eye out for possible scout jets or drones following close to her. Then hide in a resistance checkpoint until someone finds her.

Only if the satellites pass over first to ensure the safety of the mountain Glenn resistance base. Atlas satellites are advanced but wildly out of date since the great war but still a huge risk.

Near the end of the war Atlas satellites where dotted around the world to map it out and watch the largest armies of their enemies. They move everywhere in orbit at all directions, but they cannot change direction, speed up or slow down so when Atlas sends them up then that's it, out of their hands. The resistance realised that in orbit they have limited sight and range because they can only move around the world's gravity. And being that they are expansive and low in numbers they have blind spots. One of witch Ruby was flying in for practice.

Once you figure out the pattern of when and where a blind spot is and you're out of a satellite's path. Atlas confidence becomes ignorance that is bliss, a huge weakness and giving the resistance the freedom to move.

But for now, Ruby knows she's in trouble, if she gets caught it puts everybody back home at risk.

Weiss Schnee

Across the North Sea In Atlas, Weiss was giving a demonstration of her fencing skills to the cadets of 1337 naval academy. "Follow my instructions, don't have your right foot too far forward and remember your training."

Weiss finished and allowed questions, the Schnee's were admired by many academies for their family name, wealth and talent. So, some questions were… off-topic, "Is it true you will be entering the Deadliest warrior games?"

Weiss felt like she had wasted her time but answered anyway, "No, I'm too occupied im too occupied to enter the Atlas naval academy for officer's."

Another cadet asks, "Do you really want to be a ship officer? It's just you seem to be a great fighter, why not be a huntress?"

Weiss was flattered but her heart was set on what she wanted to be, "Becoming an officer like many of my family comes first and being a huntress for myself will have to come second." Although it would be existing to hunt monsters, but the thrill of command had her attention.

That was it for today, Weiss wished the cadets luck in their study's and she left. As she boarded her airship Weiss was told there was a meeting with her at the Atlas prime office of education with officials. Immediately her airship made its way to the office roof, Weiss then was directed to the meeting room for instructions.

While seated in a white steel and stone office and a somewhat modern look with a medieval Mantle feel to all the art and sculptors on display. Weiss was concerned about the sudden invitation, she wondered if this has anything to do with work.

And quickly the doors opened and five men, four in suits and one navy major in uniform entered and set across Weiss and pulled out scrolls then browsed through files, Weiss waited to be spoken to and one of the suits says, "Good afternoon Miss Schnee, you're probably wondering why we bright you here so suddenly?"

Weiss respectively nodded her head and the Major says, "Miss Schnee, we have been reviewing your time at the academy and we see fit to offer you a set of unique opportunities."

Weiss felt uncomfortable by this and asked, "What do you wish to offer?"

Another suit replied, "We wish for you to enter this year's Deadliest Warrior games for the first-year huntsman competitors in Atlases name. Then after, we would like to offer you the chance to be among one the first astronauts to space."

There are roamers that Atlas was planning to restart the program again but a human mission to reach up there?

Weiss was speechless, what a chance and dream it would be to take part of such a team and make history. Weiss had such a big smile on for show, but she still knew what she wanted and told them, "I thank you for the offer, but I feel like my place is at the academy, my family have put a lot of resources into my own crew and ship when I graduate, it will all be completed in the next four years, so it would be such a waste." Weiss respectively refuses.

The others were displeased by this, one of the suits says, "We, were afraid you'd say that, but we insist you accept the offer." Weiss didn't know what was going on and the suit explained: "We feel it is for the best, your family is seen by the world like royalty, blessed with talent and great wealth in success-"

The Major cuts in to say, "But any failure would result in a negative look, I'm sorry but you're not as great a leader as you may think." Weiss felt sudden sadness and anger at his remark, she tried to hide it, but the look of shock gripped her.

Another one of the suited men says, "With training, we believe you could make history, but we fear you will not meet the criteria of becoming a ship officer, we could let you pass but it would be seen as favouritism of letting a less qualified student graduate, so it's in the best interest that you accept." He pleaded to Weiss.

Weiss was in disbelief, she stood up trying to calm herself down, "Thank you... But I feel my place is at the academy... Again, I thank you"

Weiss turned and walked to the door and the Major says, "It's your best option, so your family will accept for you." Weiss leaves with such anger at the truth of that, the family would accept for her rather she would like it or not. She entered an elevator to reach her airship, as the doors closed she then she slammed her fist into the door with tears ready to drip down her eyes. Why is this happening?

Blake Belladonna

Now in Menagerie Blake was sitting in a rundown apartment, it was dark, damp and dirty but she had nowhere else to go and the local government found out about her true loyalty. She sat at the kitchen table with a cigarette with several small bottles of hard spirits and watched the menagerie news on a cheap TV. "Congratulations on your third victory of the Mistral championships Pyrrha Nikos!" The TV reports.

Blake's interest had raised, and she picked up her half-drunk head to see the TV more clearly, Pyrrha was on and she was handed the microphone, "I'd like to thank everyone for the support I have received to face my challenges."

She smiled at the camera and the reporter asked, "I hear you are looking forward to the Deadliest Warrior games? You have entered as a first year, do you look forward to fighting the other kingdoms star pupils?"

You could tell Pyrrha had practised off a script, she felt discomfort from the camera and she answered, "I look forward to standing in such an arena with such great students of the world." She says with a forced smile.

The reporter then asked, "For now the favourites of this year's games are surprisingly first-years. Such as yourself and Weiss Schnee and the rest of the first years of course but how do you feel about the recent news of Menagerie's star academy student Blake Belladonna?"

Pyrrha looked right at the camera and Blakes heart thudded as if she was looking right at her. Pyrrha felt great displeasure to say, "It is sad that she made such a choice, to attack the unity and peace Atlas has brought to the world by killing those people, she is now a traitor plain and simple."

Blake throw an empty glass at the TV, but she was too drunk to hit it. The news continued to anchor women Lisa Lavender, "That was Pyrrha Nikos in her recent victory and now let's move on to the next top story, this year's games are only eight months away and even though there are six-year levels of Huntsman students, all eyes are on the first years. The rising stars are, Weiss Schnee of Atlas, Pyrrha Nikos of Mistral, Sun Wukong of Vacuo and finally Yang Xiao Long of Vale. But of course, the tragic development in Menagerie's huntsman academy of first-year star student Blake Belladonna with confirmed ties to the terrorist organization, the White Fang, please be advised she is very dangerous and must not be approached. So, if you suspect anything related to Blake Belladonna or the White Fang then please stay out of there sight, they are armed and very dangerous then report immediately to your local authority's."

Adam Taurus entered the apartment, but Blake doesn't bother to lift her head as Adam turned the TV off and sits down across Blake. Blake then lazily sits up to light a new cigarette and Adam slapped it out of her hand and says, "You know I don't like it when you do that." They looked at each other, Adam felt sorrow for Blake and she felt shame for herself.

And what Adam was going to do next he knew was going to make things worse, "you're going to have to leave Menagerie for all our safety now."

Blake too tipsy to react normally lifted her head back up the chair and asked, "What why?"

Adam looked around, "You can't stay here, everyone is looking for you with a vengeance and you know too much of our spy agency. So, as you leave, we reorganize everything, so you know nothing. Plus, Atlas is too confident in their security in Menagerie, so they will not expect you to appear in another kingdom before it's too late."

Blake trying to keep her head steady as she nods up and down with sadness, "But what about you? I mean us Adam?"

Adam bites his lip, "I'm sorry, but I'll stay to ensure their focus is here to make them think they are the hunter, to keep you the true hunter safe. I'll come and join you at our outpost in Mistral later."

Blake was far too drunk and very tired to argue, she closed her eyes and rested her head on the table, then with a sad whisper, "you realise what I saw? What I sacrificed and most of all..." Fear in her memory took hold of Blake, "And, and what I did?"

Adam felt great regret that he was responsible for exposing Blake and making her take apart of something terrible, saddened by this he whispers, "I know and I'm so, so sorry my love." As Blake fell asleep, Adam then gently picked Blake up and rested her in the only clean bad he had made in the apartment then he kissed her good night.

Yang Xiao Long

Late night at the city gates of Vale, there were cameras, crowds cheering and a stage ready. It was an early celebration for a special event.

A reporter at the front of the crowds says to the cameras, "Were here earlier than expected today at the finish line for the tanks cross-continental race. tank crew 117 and huntress cadet Yang Xiao Long is about to break a world record for fastest time, starting from Vacuo to Vale, the several weeks of a long journey through all environments and great hordes of Grimm is one of the toughest challenges of all the kingdoms."

Then a sound of a very loud engine in the distance was approaching and quickly a tank could be seen speeding to the finish line. It passes the line, it came to a stop. then the top opened and the four crew members emerged cheering with the crowds as Yang stands at the top then fires two shots from her gauntlets into the air for celebration.

They all stood on the stage and waved at the crowd and cameras, the reporter approached to congratulate them, "Well done team 117 and welcome home!" The crowd cheered louder, the crew were tremendously tired, and they all stunk like hell too. They would be after being locked in that stuffy tank for weeks. The reporter asks, "Your tanks cameras have recorded every day but before we see the cut up documentary, we have to know the details, what happened on your adventure?"

Yang lets out a small laugh and looked back at the tank, "Haha, ya we Bumblebee had it rough, but she kept the records of the journey safe. After any weeks and hundreds of miles. We got stuck or trapped twenty-two times, attacked one hundred and three times, we ran out of ammo twelve times, ran out of food six times." Yang then proudly says, "However, despite the hardship we left fifty-five contestants in our dust!"

The crowd jumped with celebration, even louder cheering at the victory. The reporter next asked Yang, "All this time in that tank will you be out of practice for the upcoming games?"

Yang gave a proud smile and slammed her fist into her chest then replied, "I've still got it, I could tear the head of that tank off and beat the body to death with it."

The reporter laughed, "Even though that doesn't seem physically possible, I don't doubt that you can do that." The reporter then turned back and looked to the camera to say, "There you have it, a victory for the Vale loyalty force and a new record made, even though Atlas entered only one competitor with the confidence and claimed that it would have finished first, has..." She stopped speaking and turned to see the only Atlas competitor approaching. "and now as you can see the new one men prototype, The Atlesian Paladin 360 from Atlas is not far behind, let's see it cross."

Paladin 360 arrived in a total mess from its journey, smothered in mud and war wounds from the Grimm with smoke coming out of it. But second place was admirable the crowds gave a respectable applause. It drove on its two-legged tank tracks past everybody and drove onto a military truck at the end. Yang jumped off the stage and ran towards it and called out, "Hey wait I want to congratulate the driver!"

An Atlas officer stands in her way hands raised, ordering a full stop. "I'm sorry, but the prototype needs to be examined to see what effects the long-distance journey did to it."

Yang watched a cover being pulled over the prototype, she asks, "would you please tell the driver well done, from me please?" The officer nodded his head and tipped his cap then walked away, Yang felt something was off with the prototype. But didn't think much of it shortly, now was the time to celebrate. She was popular before in her combat skills and her good looks but now she had become a worldwide celebrity.

Yang was planning to take full advantage of this later for her underground friends. But for now, she can rest.

After Yang shook hands with many people and offered a free round of strawberry sunrise drinks to her crew at the bar, she set down with food and water at a private tent to recover as her crew left for the cadet base, Yang was left alone because of, other business.

"Hey, kiddo" Yang hears a familiar cheerful voice entered the tent, so she turned to see her uncle Qrow smiling at he, he had a clean shaved face in a crisp Atlas uniform, so Yang stands to attention and saluted her uncle captain. Qrow then holds up a bottle and two shot glasses, "Well done kiddo I'd like to talk about your holiday, but we need to talk business." Yang figured free drinks would be too good to be true, she would be called straight back to the resistance for duty.

Chapter 1 END


I got inspiration from this fan artwork I saw on DevArt, A cross of RWBY and Star Wars but in this world, there is no Star Wars. I just used art as a character build in this alternate history universe.

this is about the world of Remnant when Mantle won the great war and later become Atlas. In their victory, they prioritized technology, science and navy military over special training of huntsmen as we know. The result is a navy that dominates the world. However, it puts them at a disadvantage when Ozpin takes this as an opportunity to create the greatest worriers the world hasn't seen since the great war. But sometime soon when he gathers them all up by the time it makes itself at the stage of session 3, they are somewhat half as good when they are in session 1. so, they have a lot of catching up.

Also, before you go, my community is RWBY Alternate History and we are looking for fanfictions to add to the collection. Fictions that have an alternate twist to the RWBY universe. Could be that Atlas won the Great War, or Cinder killed Ruby instead of Pyrrha. Probably Blake stays with Adam in the White Fang or dates Sun and Weiss agrees to date Jaune. you get the point, just whatever in the RWBY universe as long as it stays in the world of Remnant.

PM me and I'll look at what you've got and any other suggestions you come across to recommend. All Genres are acceptable but No OCs, No Crossovers. small time OCs can be added to the mean cast of the show. and don't forget to look at all ratings to see more.
