Alright, with the stage set, we go to Chapter 2! Note: please don't hate me for this…
"Fucking run!"
An Atlesian soldier burst through a line of bushes. Behind him, gunfire erupted. Bullets flew past the soldier, encouraging him to keep running. His comrades were already ahead of him, turning around once in a while to fire some shots back at their pursuers. They saw their goal just ahead, the last of the dropships preparing to leave the island hell they were sent to investigate. The two ahead of the soldier made it on, and the dropship began to lift up. The soldier barely made it, jumping onto the bottom of the hatch opening. His buddies pulled him up, and the ship left.
The Atlesian High Command
"So say that one more time. I don't quite understand."
The soldier looked up at his interrogator. "What the hell don't you get. The fleet arrived, and we started dropping onto the island. As soon as the main ship got near, it exploded. It was hit by something, but I don't even know what. All I know is I dropped down, and many of the soldiers were already in combat with either Grimm or shooting at something. That island, I don't know sir. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! THERE WAS JUST-I..I..I..I DON'T KNOW!" The soldier was obviously breaking down. The interrogator backed off. Meanwhile behind the window mirror, General Ironwood stood. He had watched the entire thing, and now he himself was a bit worried. What could be on that island that scared this soldier so much? And did it really have the capacity to destroy the entire fleet, leaving only a few dropships to come back? James didn't know, he just chalked it up as some new Grimm type. He didn't have time to worry about this, he had to worry about his own problems in Vale…
Kingdomless Island, Southern Coast
A blue light started emitting from the ACU. It quickly built a Naval Factory, as the other two had done, and was in the process of upgrading the factory to Tier 3. In the background, multiple ACUs were building 'Duke' artillery cannons with Engineers building 'Klinkhammer' tactical artillery cannons. Other Engineers were building supply generators, and Titans were patrolling the area. The occasional Grimm group did attack, but they were slaughtered with no survivors. Grunts were setting up barbed wire on the perimeter, with Spectres guarding them. Watchtowers were being set up, and Point defenses were already blasting away at Grimm. Allen noted how hard everyone was working, and was mentally congratulating them on it. Behind him, he heard the Naval Factories already producing the fleets. But he heard another noise, and turned to look East. Allen, already in his ACU, turned the map on, and satellite imagery showed a large fleet from Atlas heading in the direction of Vale. Allen sighed, he wished it was for an attack. He already knew what the fleet was heading there for. He turned back to his present duty, finishing the 'Mayor' Strategic artillery cannon, while other ACUs were building a few 'Disruptor' Quantum artillery cannons.
Unknown Landmass, Grimm Castle
Grimm lands, a place that spelled suicide for any human or faunus. Grimm essentially lived here. The sky always was red, and the moon was especially close here. In the distance, a castle stood over it all. In this castle, one woman that was more feared in Remnant than anyone else sat. Salem was brooding, and was actually worried for once. Two months ago, she held a lot of power with vast Grimm armies. Now, she had massive casualties on her hands. Grimm on the Kingdomless Island were wiped from the face of Remnant. Even the Ancient Grimm were systematically eliminated. Her forces were being decimated. She watched as another Grimm pack rushed out to make up for the losses out of the land. Salem sighed, she didn't think it was possible for this to happen. All over, she could feel the fear in her children. Salem was clueless, how did she stop this from happening?
"M'Lady."
Salem turned back to the voice, it was her pawn. The ever respected Dr. Watts.
"What it is?" Salem asked.
"All our forces are being prepared for the plan. How should we proceed?" Watts asked.
Salem pondered about her plan. This new player was being a thorn in her side. She needed to deal with it before it became a knife in her side. Or derailed her plans.
"Proceed as planned." She ordered. She would have to deal with it later.
What she didn't know, what Salem and Ironwood BOTH didn't know was that choosing to ignore this was going to prove costly in the end.
A systematic elimination of both parties, and a new war on Remnant.
A village on Anima…
"No please!"
A single shot rang out. The Hunter fell. Not a threat anymore. The Grunt looked around at the burning village. Mistral soldiers were fighting for their lives, trying to radio in backup. But it was hopeless. The Jammer was already set up and not letting any signal out. The Mistral soldiers were backing up further and further into the center of the village. All of them were firing their last rounds. The civilians were holding any weapons they could use, but all of their melee weapons were useless against the Spectres. The Grunt walked towards the surrounded group. The soldiers stopped firing. Ammo was out. They dropped their weapons. The villagers looked at the aggressors. They all raised their hands. The Grunt stared at them for a second, deciding what to do with them. He raised his hand up, and the Spectres raised their guns. The villagers cried, the Mistral soldiers got in front of them, ready to die for them. Until the Grunt motioned to the troops. The Spectres walked towards the group, and detained them.
Meanwhile, the forest was a firefight. White Fang soldiers were fighting Hammond soldiers. The Hammond forces had something the White Fang didn't have though. Paladin tanks were supporting the HEF, suppressing all the forces. Grimm dare not to enter the area. Any that did were cut down immediately. The forest was lit up that night. No one noticed it at all.
Except the Hunter that was watching. A Hunter that saw a military that could easily overpower all the Kingdoms. A Hunter that knew his friends would believe what he told them. A Hunter, a certain Dusty, Old Qrow…
HEF Naval Base, Kingdomless Island
Allen watched as the new HEF fleet set off into the sea. On the surface, there was the usual 10 Destroyers, 4 Cruisers, and two "Montana" Class battleships, with the one "Atlantis" Carrier Submarine. Under the water, 16 "Tigershark" Submarines kept underwater Grimm at bay. Allen already knew where they were going. In the meanwhile, he looked up at the huge Hammond aerial fleet. Comprised of ships of the Space fleet that was dispatched with them, it had ten "Malta" Class battleships with eight "Andromeda" Class carriers, and a final four "Megacarrier" Class carriers. In total, enough ships to destroy this planet's population, with more on the way. Allen already knew how this would turn out. He watched more transports carry another Army Group to the landmass across the water. Soon, the invasion of the continent, Anima he heard, would be in full swing.
And by then, Remnant would feel Hammond take more away from them than anything the Grimm could.
Alright, so the first attack has been made! Next chapter, more will happen on the actual canon in Volume Two, so get hyped! Also, going to throw Volume Three off majorly. So the only canon thing will be Volume Two. Probably. Read and Review!
Note: Any questions on Hammond vehicles, the Naval ones are UEF Supreme Commander (First game), except the Montana class (Look that one up on Wikipedia) and the Aerial ones are IMC from Titanfall 1 and 2.
