Ok before I start I just want to say that this is my first fanfic so please use constructive criticism. Also there will be many references to other series that are not RWBY related, especially in the Prologue. Also on this story I am treating the great war like WW1 (Yes I know that the M1 garand didn't exist, I don't care)Also this chapter is really short.

Prologue

Aiden huffed as he stumbled out of his pod into the freezing air of the room where the pod was contained.

"F-F-Fuck" he shivered as he fell on all fours. He looked around noting the leaking pipes that snaked around the room he was in. He then gets up and walks towards one of the doors. Opening it revealed a small locker room containing a few things of interest, first his heavily modified M1 Garand Sniper, second his pair of dust sabers (there lightsabers) which could be changed into full auto pistols (which looked like M1911s). Both moded also had their own power settings, for the dust sabers at low power they would act like a normal sword but if they were touched by bare skin they would give the recipient something along the lines of a 3rd degree burn, but at full power they could cut through any material like a hot knife through butter while also making the blade become unstable and resemble a flame (like Kylo Ren's lightsaber). The third thing was his old leather trench coat. Putting on the trench coat, slinging the M1 over his back, and grabbing his dust sabers.

"Time to get the fuck out of here" he said.

"Come on you son of a bitch!" Aiden spat as he tried to get one of the ancient computers working. It had taken him hours to get to this room and in all that time he had not seen one person. With a final bang the computer finally roared to life.

"Fucking finally!" Aiden spat as the computer began its boot process.

He browsed some of the files. Most of them were things on flux capacitors and liquid nitrogen. Then his eyes drifted over a file that caught his attention. It's name was "to Aiden", he opened it.

It read

"I'll be in Menagerie, I'll leave a way to find me on the holodisk next to this terminal"

-Sophi

Aiden grabbed the holodisk and left the room, leaving the terminal on.
