I'm going to wait until we find out what happened to everyone at the end of season 14. Until then, I'll be working on this RWBY project that had been building up since I saw the trailer and came up with ideas for my own weapons. Over the course of the series, I started to generate ideas for who would use them and created several OCs. Eventually, it lead to here.
If you haven't read the trailers, do so now, so you learn their appearances and weapons.
I do not own any canon RWBY sharacters that appear in this story, only the original characters and original plotlines. RWBY was created by Monty Oum and is owned by Roosterteeth.

Know your enemy
"Grimm Log 1-1: I am Dr. Kelly Rifleman. I have been given the difficult task of studying the Grimm. Despite their tendencies to disappear when killed or captured, I am determined to understand humanity's enemy. Because if we don't understand our enemy, how can we hope to defeat it?"
...
Teal Aquamarine doesn't like running around on rooftops to hunt down some kid, but since he lost his gunship, he didn't have any faster options of searching for him. Teal stopped to get a visual of his target.
"Move in." Aquamarine pulled out his gun while a second person, Rocky Rhodes, jumped off the roof behind him to reach the target on foot.
Rhode's doesn't look like much. The only distinguishable piece of clothing on him is his brown jacket, with shoulder plates made from scrap metal. His hair was a mix of brown, white, and tan, and his eyes were colored hazelnut brown.
Rhode's followed the target into an empty alley way. However, he saw no sign of the target there.
Viridian dropped behind the Rhodes, and slashed him in the back. "Okay, who do you think your messing with?!" Rhodes asked.
"You!" Viridian delivered a strong kick from his left leg to Rocky's chest, sending him into a wall.
"My name is Rocky Rhodes!" Rhodes punched the ground, shaking the entire area.
Viridian jumped into the air. He transformed his sword into a bow, and shot several lights, darkening the alley. Rhodes found himself struck by a barrage of slashes that he could not defend against because he could not see where they were coming from. To him, it seemed as if he were surrounded by an army of Viridian's attacking him from every direction. But there was in fact only one.
Viridian held Rhodes against the wall, with a sword at his throat.
"Why were you following me?" Viridian asked. Aquamarine dropped down from the rooftop, and prepared his sword to strike at Viridian from behind.
A grenade knocked Aquamarine away from Viridis.
"Don't move any closer." A huntsman warned. He wore armor similar to Aquamarine's, but his was colored yellow. His weapon was a grenade launcher with a large blade attached to it, that reached past his elbow in it's rear facing position.
Aquamarine recognized this huntsman. He knew exactly what would happen if he fought him. Teal fired at the huntsman, who used his weapon to block. Aquamarine charged past Viridian to grab Rhodes, and leave.
"Who are you?" Viridian asked.
...
"Do you know who either of those two were?"
"No."
"Do you know what they wanted from you?"
"If I knew that, I wouldn't have asked one of them in the alley."
"Do you know anything about Project Eclipse?" The huntsman asked.
"They were Eclipse?" Viridian was confused.
"They weren't Eclipse, they were sent by Eclipse. I want to know why." Limone explained.
Eclipse was an alliance between two groups of scientists. Their leaders are Sol Apollo, and Luna Artemis. The former wanted to create the perfect human soldier, and the later wished to eradicate the Grimm. Both were willing to take science to a dangerous level to get results.
"All I know is that Eclipse makes people disappear." Viridian answered. They also do that. For science, of course.
"Viridian Viridis." A man with a cane and a cup of coffee entered the room.
"I've been investigating Eclipse for months, but I run into this kid, and you show up." Limone grumbled.
"You seem nervous." The man observed.
"That's probably because I'm in a room that reminds me of prison." Viridian replied.
"And I've never even been to prison." He added.
"I can assure you that you are safe here." The man said.
"If there's one thing I've learned, it's that when someone is being nice, they usually want something." Viridian noted.
Limone laughed. "You're not wrong. Everyone wants something. Even if it that thing is to help someone that needs it." He replied.
"Do you know who I am?" The man asked.
"Should I?" Viridian asked.
"Hmm, that worked last time." Ozpin muttered. "I am Professor Ozpin—"
"From Beacon Academy." Viridian finished. "I've heard of you, but I haven't seen you before." Viridian explained.
"Would you like to go to my school?" Ozpin asked.
"Sure. I'll see you in a few years." Viridian replied. That might not be an option in a few years.
"I think you misunderstood me. Would you like to go to my school, this year?" Ozpin restated. Viridian didn't trust such an offer to be given to him freely.
"What makes you think I'm ready?" Viridian asked.
"You took down Rocky Rhodes by yourself. That's a feat that few your age could attain." Limon replied. Viridian had no idea who Rocky Rhodes was. He has no idea if this was truly an incredible feat or if he this was a lie to conceal the truth. His instincts told him it was the latter.
"Do you normally let people into Beacon early?" Viridian asked.
"No, but I did recently give the same offer to another student. Ruby Rose." Ozpin replied. Viridian was surprised to hear that name.
"And did she take it?" Viridian asked.
"Of course. She was happy to be able to attend Beacon." Ozpin answered.
"I think I'm going accept your offer." Viridian replied. He still didn't trust Ozpin, but he at least was able to convince himself he could be wrong.
...
"Explain to me how you lost to a child?" Sol Apollo asked. Apollo wears a white lab coat, and one red cybernetic eye, mismatching his natural eye's yellow color.
"Technically, only Rocky lost to a child. I had to retreat because Limone Y'lo appeared. A fight with him would allow the target to escape." Aquamarine explained.
"I underestimated him. It won't happen again." Rocky apologized.
"Good, because if it happens again, we might have to use you for Project Black Ghost." Luna Artemis warned. Artemis wore a black lab coat which was otherwise identical to her associate. Project Black Ghost was an experiment that Eclipse was planning for the future.
"Aquamarine, I want you to find out what the huntsman knows about our operations." Luna ordered. Aquamarine left to find Limone Y'lo. He already had an idea of how to find him.
"Rocky, my boy, you are going to handle a less significant task." Sol explained.
"Indigo Ferra."
