Prologue: Planet Fall And Eating Dirt

Mechassault belongs to Microsoft, and Day 1 Studios. All Rights belong to them.

Note: Mechassault is one of my favorite games of all time. Where do you think I got my name from? It's so awesome but sadly forgotten as it wasn't re-released or anything, and it wasn't backward compatible with the Xbox 360. And yes, Microsoft has stopped making the Original Xbox, along with copies of this game. And there also isn't a PC port, so the only way to play this is by getting the original copy.

But enough of that. In this universe, Beacon Academy does exist, but the teams aren't teams of four, rather teams of 2. The events of the show didn't even happen, and everyone went through their years at Beacon just fine. Everyone from RWBY in this story is at the same age they were as they started in the show. So, Ruby is 15, Weiss, Blake, and Yang are all 17, and so is JNPR.

A Green screen was the first thing they remember that morning. It had coordinates to many different places on this new planet they were going to land on. Ruby Rose was sipping her coffee while looking at the vague landscape on the monitor. Her half-sister, Yang Xiao Long, was also sipping coffee, but she was still half asleep. Ruby noticed a yellow marking on the monitor that looked like some sort of satellite pointed at the sky. Ruby couldn't make any sense of it yet.

She and Yang were the newest (And youngest,) recruits in the mercenary group, The Wolf Dragoons. They enrolled into Beacon Academy where they ended up majoring in not only Huntsman studies, but also technology, as the tech was soon revolutionized during their stay at Beacon. Mechs were made, more devices were invented, and slowly over four years, Remnant became a populated world. And at the end of Ruby and Yang's stay there, the whole Grimm threat was eliminated. Completely eliminated. Ruby slowly looked off to her right as she gazed into the starry skies over the planet Helios.

"Yang...it looks beautiful." Ruby whispered as she had a sparkle in her silver eyes looking at the cosmos.

"It does look beautiful, doesn't it?" Yang agreed as she took a sip of her coffee.

"You two girls stargazing together? Get a room." Another mercenary teased them. He was sitting at a bar drinking his own cup of morning Joe.

"Hey! We're sisters!" Yang shouted as she stopped sipping her coffee.

"Knock it off, Xavier." Another ordered. He was apologizing to the girls.

"It's nothing. This kind of stuff happens sometimes." Ruby understood as she looked back at Helios.

The planet honestly looked like it had no water. There was plenty of green and clouds, but no water. Just nothing but green as far as the eye can see. Soon enough, four more mercenaries came in.

"Oh, hey, Jaune." Yang waved to the blonde haired teenager as she handed him a cup of coffee.

"Thanks, Yang." Jaune was followed by four other teenagers that almost seemed like his posse. Many of the people back at Beacon Academy called the four team JNPR (Juniper) because they hung out so much and the bond they had was really strong as friends.

"You all ready for the mission?" Pyrrha Nikos asked.

"Yeah. I'm a little scared though..." Ruby looked off to the side, blushing and twiddling her fingers. "It's my first mission. I hope I don't mess up."

"You won't, Ruby. I'm sure of it. It's our first too. We're just as nervous as you." Yang reassured her scared sister by wrapping her hand around her neck.

"Yeah...Just...stay alive, okay? We don't know what will happen down there..." Ruby requested her peers.

"Don't worry, Ruby. We'll make it." Nora Valkyrie smiled as she chugged down her coffee in a split second.

"It's just...the mechs blow up and create a 300 yard radius...big enough to level a building...no one would survive a blast like that..." Ruby looked away from her friends.

"We're some of the best. We'll be fine." Pyrrha smiled and patted Ruby on the back.

"Okay.." Ruby smiled and sipped her coffee until it was empty.

"Hey, you all ready?" A woman came in behind the six new mercenaries. She was wearing a dark green suit with her midriff showing slightly. Her hair was brown and short. Her name was on a tag on the left of her suit and the Wolf Dragoons logo was also on the right side. "I've got our orders." The woman, who everyone referred to as "Sir," but her real name is Major Natalia, motioned her head to a door that lead farther inside the ship they were in. The six followed the leader.

"The invasion still steps off as planned, they're not paying us to be late..." Natalia walked to the door and turned halfway around to face the new recruits.

"But the best part is...is that we get to go in first. Just like old times..." Natalia smiled as she opened the door and walked down the long corridor.

"We get to go in first? So...we get to...ambush them?" Yang smiled at that idea.

"If we are, I'm in!" Nora pumped her fist as she high fived Yang, who can be considered another good best friend.

"Not exactly. The Intel boys say that the enemy is piling up a set of NASTY ground orbit guns. If those are online when the rest of the Dragoons arrive...everyone dies, and...we blow our bonus." Natalia turned her head to the side still talking to the new recruits.

"Well, that certainly isn't good." Ruby said.

"No duh." Yang gave Ruby a nudge.

"Hehehe...so, our little team is going to make a covert," Natalia put a code into a keypad to open the door to a hangar. "Landing outside the range of the existing guns," Natalia walked into the hangar and right in front of a big leg. The leg was red and gray with three toe like ends. "Sneak across half a continent, and take them out before our drop ships show up." Natalia turned around to face the group.

"Just Me, You, Briefing Boy here," Natalia pointed to what looked like a secretary holding a clipboard and writing reports down. He gave a quick salute to the mercenaries. "A handful of pilots, and..." Natalia paused to let the mercenaries look around the hangar. They saw engineers working on the very machines they would be using to battle: BattleMechs. Ruby's eyes widened as she was in weapon heaven. Yang got a devilish smile as she knew she would bring up hell with these things.

"Some of your favorite toys." Natalia finished. "You up for this?"

Ruby and Yang looked at each other and did a fist bump.

"YEAH!"

3 Hours Later...

They were entering orbit. Natalia and Briefing Boy were talking over the comm network.

"Bird is clean, all systems normal...we're in the pipe. Touchdown in two minutes." Natalia gave a quick report. Everything seemed normal...until there was a quicklime spoken by Briefing Boy.

"We've been scanned! W-Weapon fire inbound!" Briefing Boy shouted as he picked up something on the sensors. A purple beam shot right pas their circular ship, the Icarus.

"Lieutenant Foster, how did they detect us?!" Another two purple beams shot past the Icarus.

"Alpha! Bravo Lances! Prepare to Hot drop! I want you out of this place now!" Natalia ordered. Fire was coming from the Icarus. It was hit twice in two different places. The Icarus was making a quicker decent than expected. Soon, It was uncontrollable.

"Brace yourselves, boys, we're going in..."

The Icarus landed with a loud crash. Systems were damaged. And most of the crew was gone. The remaining survivors are only Ruby, Yang, Natalia, Foster, and the engineers. And that's how it would stay.
