(2 Hours after transfer and Pyrrha's Disappearance)
Ozpin, Qrow, Goodwitch and Ironwood, the greatest defenders of Remnant are in despair, they knew of the risks of transferring the Fall Maiden's power to Pyrrha Nikos, one of Beacon Academy's best students. But they never expected anything like this, when the transfer was completed, Pyrrha went on a recluse, and when the four tried to restrain her, Pyrrha with her new power threw then aside and escaped from the facility.
"We shouldn't have done this!" Goodwitch said with guilt in her voice.
"We knew there were going to be complications, but we never thought of anything like this" Qrow stated to a depressed Goodwitch.
"We may have a chance to retrieve her before anything worse happens" Ironwood announced to the three.
"But what do we tell her team and her friends? If they learn of this they'll want to find her and probably want us to be imprisoned." Ozpin tells his compatriots.
"We won't, for I think I have a solution" Ironwood stated.
"What kind of solution?" Qrow asked.
"One that has me regretting after I approved it" Ironwood responds after inserting a device into the projector, "Project Guardian, issued 4 years ago."
"Project Guardians, what is the project going to do to help find Pyrrha Nikos?" Ozpin asks Ironwood.
"This shadow project was made to create genetically enhanced supersoldiers to follow orders and to not question their superiors" Ironwood stated.
"I'm sensing the darker parts of it yet to be revealed" Goodwitch stated, but doesn't bother looking at her compatriots.
"Yes, all members are under the age of 18, and begun training at the age of 12, to make them and quoting here 'the ultimate soldiers', and the benefit of these soldiers are is that, they won't question their orders or their superiors, and I have a team that's available, if you wish to use them" Ironwood states to his compatriots.
"They won't turn us in at all, and they follow any order we give them?" Goodwitch asked, as she turns to everyone.
"Yes, however they do have a human side to them, so each soldier has morale grounds, but it's mainly for civilians, not hunters and huntresses" Ironwood responded.
"Okay, those who agree for the usage of Project Guardians?" Ozpin started a vote for his compatriots.
"Go for Guardians" Qrow raised his hand in agreement.
"Go for Guardians" Iroowood raised his hand in agreement, the three men looked at Goodwitch who was feeling usure.
"Will you promise no leathal harm will come to her, I may be a Professor of Beacon, but I will always look out for my students" Goodwitch stated.
"You have my word, Goodwitch" Ironwood said to comfort her.
"Okay… go for Guardians" Goodwitch raised her hand in agreement.
"Okay, Ironwood, prepare the Guardians and bring them here for their orders" Ozpin tells Ironwood who began sending a message on a special device to tell Project Guardian to prepare the team available.
(Project Guardian Operations Centre – Unknown Location)
"Attention all active Guardians, report suited up for operations issued by General Ironwood" The PA announced, and four Guardians started to suit up.
"Alright Guardians, head to the armoury" one of the Lead Guardians ordered.
Four of the Guardians approached the suit station and soon are equipped with their armour, which was silver in colour a variety of colours to represent role and class, the Team Leader and Marksman/Sniper had cobalt was Guardian 1, the Heavy Weaponist who had red was Guardian 2, the Close Quarters Specialist who had Yellow was Guardian 3 and the Assault Specialist who had Green was Guardian 4.
After being suited up they equipped their preferred weapons and a backup for certain circumstances, Guardian 1 had a 3 round burst rifle and a single shot marksman rifle, Guardian 2 had a SMG and a compact RPG, Guardian 3 had a shotgun and two pistols and Guardian 4 had a standard Assault Rifle and two SMGs.
After the Guardians are soon suited up and equipped they soon board a military dropship heading to Beacon Academy to see General Ironwood.
(Beacon Academy – Ozpin's office – Later on)
Soon the four Guardians enter the room and see General Ironwood, Ozpin, Goodwitch and Qrow.
"You requested us sir?" Guardian 1 asked.
"Indeed Guardians, before we begin, this operation is strictly off the record, the Atlas military will not of this, nor will the public, do you Guardians agree to these circumstances?" Ironwood asked.
"We agree sir!" the Guardians responded with no hesitation.
"Good, for your mission Guardians, you'll be sent out to locate and retrieve an escaped individual, your orders are to locate this individual and bring her back to Beacon Academy" Ironwood briefed the Guardians.
"What if the individual refuses to be taken back to the academy, do you wish for us to terminate the individual if they resist?" Guardian 1 asks.
"Let me be perfectly clear for you Guardians! YOU ARE NOT TO KILL HER! I REPEAT YOU WILL NOT KILL PYRRHA NIKOS! YOU WILL BRING HER BACK HER ALIVE! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!" Goodwitch exploded. The Guardians look at each other with stoic faces then look at Ironwood.
"She may not be associated with the military or Project Guardian, but you will follow those orders, let me be clear, you are to locate Pyrrha Nikos and bring her back alive, failure to do so will result in dishonourable discharge and incarceration, do we make ourselves clear?" Ironwood asked the Guardians.
"Understood Sir!" the Guardians responded.
"Good to hear, we'll be dropping you to the last known sighting of her, and you will continue to find her" Ozpin announced, and the Guardians saluted and left the room.
However as the briefing went down, Qrow spots something in the courtyard, "On no…" his words, caught Ozpin, Goodwitch and Ironwood's attention, "We may got a problem".
(Meanwhile – Beacon Academy Courtyard – At the same time)
At the Academy's courtyard, Jaune has been desperately trying to contact Pyrrha after the Vytal Festival, but to no avail.
"Jaune, you've been calling for an hour, I'm sure she's okay" Ren stated, as Nora rode his back.
"Yeah, and in that hour, she would of picked up, there's something wrong I know it!" Jaune defended, soon Team RWBY, Sun and Neptune from Team SSSN rocked up.
"Hey Jaune, what's wrong?" Ruby asked her fellow team leader.
"Pyrrha, hasn't picked up her scroll, I've been calling for an hour, and she's hasn't picked up once" Jaune told everyone, they knew Pyrrha wouldn't be the type to ignore Jaune, that much is for certain, and she enjoys everyone's company. Then to Jaune's relief he gets a call from Pyrrha.
"PYRRHA! Are you okay?! Where are you?!" Jaune shouted as he put his scroll on loudspeaker, but over his scroll everyone hears static and only a few words.
"Jaune…. I'm losing my…. I need…. Help me…. Find…" soon it cuts out completely and it reads 'Out of Range', Jaune looks at his teammates who shared the same horrified look.
"Guys, I need to find her!" Jaune tells everyone as he walks away only to be stopped by Weiss.
"And we're coming with you, she's your partner and your friend, and she's also ours!" she tells him.
"So count us in!" Yang states boastfully, but Sun and Neptune see a transport leaving the academy.
"Guys!" Neptune gains everyone's attention, as the transport leaves the academy.
"Three guess on where it's going!" Sun states.
