Flashback
Gallipoli,1915 {Hours before Williams and Bishop were transported into Remnant}
Bishop and Williams were on the railing of the warship looking at the land of Gallipoli. They were about capture Helles' Overlook that was controlled by the was about to be captured on the first wave but it didn't stand a chance. It was silence for them but was cut off of a voice.
"Frederick Bishop?" Asked the voice which made Bishop turn around and see a young soldier
"Oh god" Bishop muttered
"Hey,are you Frederick Bishop?" asked the soldier
" 's dead,sorry"Bishop lied
He chuckled. " But isn't this your picture" He asked
"I suppose so" Bishop responded
The soldier then inroduced himself "Jack Foster, I'm your new charge."
"No you're not" Bishop said as he snatched the picture that Foster was holding and walked over Whitehall and Riley followed him
"You have to take this kid off me" said Bishop
"Ha,of course not. He came all this way just to see you. Frederick Bishop, The Pride of Austrialia. He even lied about his age to get conscription" Whitehall responded
Riley then wide eyed was worried for Foster. 'Foster,you idiot. You're gonna get yourself killed' Riley thought to himself.
Bishop turned to see Foster saluting him. Bishop walked over to him
"You know Morse Code?"Bishop asked
"Yes" Foster responded
Bishop gave Foster a clip board with Morse code papers. "Follow me!" Bishop said walking away
"Come on lad, let's go" Riley told Foster to follow Bishop and Foster nodded.
They were on the Captain's Deck where Bishop and Riley will give Foster the coordinates to destory Ottoman defenses.
"What a disaster"BIshop spoke "our first wave didn't stand a chance"
"Look at all of their defenses. How can we take the beach?" Foster asked
"We have the dreadnoughts this time." Riley spoke
"Plug your ears kid,it's going to be loud" Bishop warned as he looked through his binoculors to get the coordinates to destroy the Ottoman defense.
"Send the coordinates" Bishop told Foster as he nodded and was sending the coordinates and a bunch of dreadnoughts fired at the Ottoman defense destroying it.
"That's it. Time to go"Bishop said as he grabbed his rifle and Riley was walking holding his rifle and Bishop saw Foster grabbing his weapon.
" do you think you're going? Bishop asked Foster
"With you" Foster responded
" Level your gun" Bishop told Foster
Foster was failing for leveling his weapon and he also failed completely as he was doing a horrible job for a bayonet charge. Foster did a quiet scream for a bayonet charge but was cut off by Bishop saying "Yeah okay, you're staying here." and Riley almost facepalmed.
"And you'll move up with rear command only after i fire the signal sir?" Bishop told Foster.
"Yes sir" Foster responded
"Try to stay out of trouble" Bishop said to Foster and He and Riley began to storm the beach. They fought through Ottoman trenches as they securing the they secured the trenches, Riley and Bishop were about to capture Helles' Overlook and they kept fighting against Ottoman they got to the Overlook, they killed all Ottoman troops who were defending the Overlook but they were defeated and Bishop and Riley captured the Overlook.
"Time to set up the flare Bishop" Riley said to Bishop
Bishop then shot the flare into the sky. But,they turn around to see Foster putting up his hands. Then, Bishop was angry,
" fucking kidding me?" Bishop yelled ashe grabbed Foster's shirt collar. "Come with me." Bishop showed Foster the Beach with all soldiers lying on the ground dead. "Look! look at that,huh kid. you lied your way into hell on earth! You just wanted a statue of yourself in your town square." Bishop scolded Foster.
"I just-" Foster was about to say something but he cut himself as he was kneeling on his knees and vomited on the ground.
"Come on kid, get up." Bishop told Foster after he calmed himself.
"Come on,come on" Riley spoke to Foster
"I'm gonna die" Foster said in a worried tone
Riley sighed and spoke "No,you're not. You're Austrialian"
"We're impossible to kill" Bishop said to Foster.
"Yeah...I guess so" Foster responded
"Unless..Not a Kiwi,are you" Riley joked as Foster chuckled
"Now,first thing first." Bishop said as he gave Foster his Rifle " on, stand up"
Foster stood up holding his rifle as Bishop and Riley taught Foster how to handle his rifle
Time skip
After teaching Foster to handle a rifle, Whitehall and several of his men came to the Overlook. He came up to Foster,Riley,and Bishop
"I was begining to think I already lost my Austrialians" Whitehall said as Bishop nodded,Riley smiled,and Foster saluting to Whitehall.
"What can I do you for? Bishop asked
"Not you, the boys. We need runners in the frontlines." Whitehall responded
"Really" Foster was about to speak but Bishop cut him off saying "No" but Foster was about to say yes but Bishop said "No" again.
"You can't make the kid do it. He'll just stumble into a firefight and get killed" Bishop told Whitehall.
"Bishop's right, Who knows what will happen to him" Riley agreed with Bishop
"No no,I can do it" Foster said disagreeing
"No, Riley and I could do it" Bishop said to Whitehall sighed
"Fine. You're here with me. and you two.. you two will be running" Whitehall said finally agreeing with Bishop and Riley. The two runners went around the Village that was occupied by Ottomans. When they got to their arrival, the soldiers were getting defeated by Ottoman troops. But as they were heading back, They saw Ottoman Forces heading towards to command outpost. The runners fought against Ottomans and after killing Ottoman forces, they were heading inside to inform Whitehall. Foster opened the door for the runners and he saw an Ottoman about to shoot them but Foster shoots the Ottoman quick and he kills the Ottoman causing the runners inside quick before more comes out and taking cover.
"Fucking hell, You could've killed us" said Riley shaking
"But I didn't" Foster replied
"No,you sure fucking didn't" Bishop responded
Then Whitehall comes in and the runners informs Whitehall bad news.
"You got falling lines across the board" exclaimed Bishop
Whitehall sighed "That's what I thought. Bishop and Riley, go to rear command taht we'll be moving up"
Bishop looked at Foster since he's worried about his safety
"Hey, don't worry, I can handle myself here" Foster exclaimed
Riley put his hand on his shoulder to tell him one thing before they go "Head down. Gun up. No open areas" he told Foster as he nodded
"Got it?"
"Got it"
The two runners headed towords rear command to inform them. But when they got there, nobody was there.
"Wait...where is everyone?" asked Bishop
"Don't know" Riley shrugged
They inside the cabin and saw a order on the wall with a knife holding it. Bishop ripped the order from the knife and read the order. It said 'From those who didn't hear from a runner, the allied position is lost. Artillery fire ordered retreat to beach. Shelling the villiage and outlying forts.'
"Shit, Foster"
"Fucking brits, shelling their own position to a retreat." Riley exclaimed
They got on a horse to warn the Frontline about the retreat order. As they were heading there, Artillery were firing the village so they went around
"Artillery already? Fucking hell" said Riley
When they got to the frontline, they were hold up by Ottoman forces. They fought against more forces to tell Whitehall about the retreat. After defeating more Ottomans, they went to Whitehall about the bad news.
"Full scale retreat" Exclaimed Riley
"They're gonna shell the village and fort to cover us. We need to get out. Now." Bishop exclaimed
"What? I sent men to secure the fort" Whitehall remarked
"They're dead men. Who went?" asked Riley
"Only those who volunterered. So,naturally,all of them" Whitehall explain
"Fucking Kids" Bishop said
"You remembered being his age!" Whitehall explained
"Foster" Riley muttered
"Fuck!" Bishop muttered
"We gotta get that kid" Riley told Bishop
"Go,I'll pretend I didn't see you two" Whitehall told them
"This isn't on you" Riley explained
"Of course it is. One more death to me to live with" Whitehall said " . You two don't have much time"
The Runners ran out to head towords the taking out some Ottomans in a controlled area, They went inside the fort and saw Foster alive and well and wounded soldiers.
"What,again? You sure you don't just wanna shoot me?" Foster exclaimed
"Come on. let's get yourself out of here" Riley said
"This place is about to come down any moment" Bishop explained
"No,we can't leave. There are still hostiles coming in and we can'toutrun them with our wounded"Foster explained as well
"you'll get going then. We'll cover your retreat." Bishop said to Foster
"But Bishop, there are hundreths-" Foster was cut off by Bishop "We'll make it look like we're capturing the fort, It'll be enough distraction"
"Once you get past allied lines send up a flare- let us now you're safe? We'll make our retreat then" Riley told Foster what to do and Bishop showed Foster the flare gun
Foster sighed and was worried and was about to say something but Bishop spoke first.
"Oh, you're disobeying orders now?" Bishop said
"Oh I assume you did to come here" Foster argued but knew Bishop and Riley were right
"Come here " Bishop motioned him and He fixed Foster's hat and Riley said "There. You're a proper aussie now. Gotta look the part"
Foster nodded and muttered "Right" and grabbed his rifle and told all the wounded telling them they are leaving. As they exited the fort, Bishop and Riley looked at Foster one last time and hoping he'll be okay. Bishop and Riley went inside and shot Ottoman troops as a distraction. They fought more Ottomans than before as they continued they fought Ottoman forces, artillery then began firing at the fort killing some Ottoman. When they reached the courtyard of the fort, they began their last stand against Ottomans and after killing Ottomans, they captured the fort. Then, when they climbed the steps of the fort to check if Foster made it, An Ottoman Soldier shoots them in the torso area before Riley shoots and kills him. They crawled to see the beach and saw an amazing thing they saw before they were transported to Remnant, a flare was shot in the sky making the runners knew that Foster was alive.
"Good kid"
"You're welcome Foster
They say thier final words before dreadnoughts fired at the fort and transported to Remnant.
Team RWBY's dorm: Present day
"It was beautiful" Riley exclaimed as He and Bishop finished their story. Ruby,Blake and Yang wrote the runners' story on their journals, Pyrrha,Nora,and Velvet were crying since they were wiping their tears,and Jaune,Lie Ren and the others were sad.
"I'm pretty sure Foster knew that we're gone" Bishop said and the two runners looked outside and it was night time.
"Well,It's time for bed and make sure you be a the feild for training" Bishop explained as Riley and him were walking out. But when they were about to open the door, they heard Ruby saying "Wait!"and turned around and she was all sad.
"Why would we all want to join you two"Ruby asked
"Because Ruby, If all teams work together as an army and if you all win the war, You'll become Heros as a teamwork."Bishop explained as the runners walked out and head to bed.
