My community is RWBY Alternate History and we are looking for fanfictions to add. Fictions that have an alternate twist to RWBY universe. Could be that Atlas won the Great War, or Cinder killed Ruby instead of Pyrrha. Probably Blake stays with Adam in the White Fang or dates Sun and Weiss agrees to date Jaune. you get the point, just whatever in the RWBY universe.

PM me and I'll look at what you've got and any other suggestions you come across to recommend. All Genres are acceptable but No OCs, No Crossovers. small time OCs can be added to the mean cast of the show. and don't forget to look at all ratings to see more.

RWBY Heroes Rebellion chapter 9 Lucky Find

I've made a couple changes, for one I changed the carriers name from The Winters Cold to Winters Reach. It just seemed more appropriate at this point and it sounds better.

Weiss Schnee & Winter Schnee

The Graduate raised itself from the sea when it safely escaped the eyes of Winter then continued its coarse flying south through the northern reaches of Mistral, soon to exit the winter north. it's new crew working overtime while trying to figure out the Graduate's workings.

Weiss was resting in the captain's quarters but very restless of courant events and her very few options. Weiss tried to clear her head by examining her cabin, she had lived there for this past couple weeks but never had time. The room had a collection of twenty-one Atlas model ships, a large fish tank, private shower. An all-access computer with desk and living room furniture around an interactive table that has the same abilities as her computer but also gaming apps.

Weiss couldn't get comfortable enough to rest, for days she was stuck on what to do next, she asked herself who's move, is it? Weiss or Winter?

Winter has likely played her move and Weiss doesn't know when it's coming. Weiss then stood and looked at her reflection in the bathroom mirror to examine her scare from the previous battle, almost fully healed but it will leave a permanent mark under her eye.

then there was a buzz at the door and Weiss gave permission to enter. Flynt, Neon and Ciel walked in, they then lined up attention. Weiss stood before them and asked for a report, Flynt was the first to speak "The crew have settled in now and working hard while studying to improve what they know. The list of work is divided up so that everyone is working and resting."

Neon then gave her report "All cool and all, but it won't matter how comfortable they are if they go hungry. Supplies wear half full when we took the ship. Everyone is eating half rations to make it least." Food was becoming a problem for the crew, for them, they are uncertain how to resupply while the military is hunting them.

Next Ciel gave her more pressing report of the four crew members who refused to leave the ship when it was stolen. Ciel explained that they were scientist forced to study classified documents from top Atlas officials. While reading the report Weiss was struck by great surprise "Defect? They want to join us? Do they even know our side of the story?"

Ciel briefly read through her report "when we escaped to safety I interviewed them one by one in their separate cells, they have no contact with each other since our escape and their stories seem to fit together. it seems your feather kept them prisoner for a while, researching classified documents." That made sense to Weiss, to stop vital information from leaking before its time you would cut it off from the rest of the world.

Weiss was intrigued but cautious they might be planning something, but she saw opportunities of having talented people who knew the workings of Atlas science and technology. And the classified stuff, if Atlas has it hidden then it's best to have it.

Weiss dismissed the team with finale instructions, "We will keep guards on all the scientist and put them to work and I'll review their research that could aid us. Until then we-"

Weiss was suddenly interrupted by her brother storming into the room and making a fuss of the meeting "I'm the most senior member of the cadets and I should have been informed of this meeting."

The others were unapologetic, Ciel said to Whitley "Excuse me sir, where no longer the Atlas cadets. We are the Atlas resistance and Weiss is our leader."

Whitley was having none of that and Weiss dismissed him "things are just hectic now, I'll find you work soon until then watch the bridge." Whitley stormed off faster than coming in.

Weiss and the others leave the room, Weiss asked if there is any research worth looking into first.

Ciel looked into her file "There is a doctor who told me about his project, it's a penny. Not sure what but it's supposed to be highly advanced and combat ready. However, I've got bad news, some of the information on other projects are restricted."

Restricted? How? Weiss asked, "The green card plunged into the ship is highly advanced, it gives full access to everything on board."

Ciel understood but found that not all research is on board, she explains that Weiss can't access parts of research without the rest which needs approval and brought in by the government and military members to be uploaded to the ship. It's like a puzzle split three ways, one part for the ship, one part for the scientists and the rest likely in the hands of Winter and her father.

Weiss was wondering how paranoid Atlas must be and how important this research is to store on an advanced ship, in prison the scientists and lock most of the information under heavy security by top officials.

Weiss wanted to know what she has and has not, she looked at Ciel's file, the list of untouchable research reads (Maidens, Relics, Dust implants parts 3 to 4, Death Star, Grimm born, Tranquillity.)

The list of readable research is (PENNY, Hark jets, Dust implants parts 1 to 2, Megatron Satellites, dust engine/shield upgrades, Atlas Knights, New paladin walkers, Dust Shells.)

The group were midway down the hall towards the bridge, with Weiss focusing on reading until red lights started to flash on and off with a call through the speakers ordering "All hands on deck, all hands on deck this is not a drill!"

Weiss and the overs ran to the bridge and took their stations, "What do we have?" Weiss asked.

Flynt scanned through the monitors and saw a single target on radar "Captain, it's too small to be a ship. In fact, too small to be a Jet." Flynt noted of the object.

Neon let out a slight giggle "Teehee if it's a missile it's way off course." Neon was right the direction it was moving wouldn't hit the Graduate in a thousand years.

"There firing blind..." Weiss says to herself, "What is our current location?" She asks Ciel.

Ciel activates a holographic map of mistrial showing that the Graduate was just south of the winter north of Mistrial and northeast of the large lake eye. In addition, they were momentarily under a satellite blind spot too.

"It's an EMP," Weiss mutters, of course, she was thinking. Atlas wouldn't risk their few and expansive satellites, and they would expect us to use stealth and their frustrating blind spots. "We need to act fast! Everybody strap in and brace! Neon, find us a spot for an emergency landing and Flynt shut off all systems!"

They complied faster than ever before but back at Atlas, Winter watched the screen of the missile on its course. The room was buzzing with one hundred voices on duty speaking to their monitors. A little later a captain reports to Winter "Commander, the missile scanners have detected an anomaly, however, we cannot determine the exact location. Anywhere between one to one hundred miles."

Winter nods, she knew it was them "Activate EMP." She orders and just a push of a button the monitor Winter watched went dark, from Winters perspective only a single monitor went dark. The EMP activates and is completely invisible to the human eye, however back on the Graduate. every single system flashed on and off with lights shut off with the ship shaking uncontrollably. The crew panicking in the dark as all they can do is hold tight strapped in their seats with fear.

Emergency gliding or parachute systems couldn't activate for a safer landing everything just went dark. Weiss shut her eyes with fear waiting for the moment of impact with a deafening noise and uncomfortable shacking. Then a silence... Weiss had blacked out and lost consciousness, she woke in the dark laying on a medical starchier with a neck support. She could feel incredible pain throughout her entire body as if every bone was broken.

Ciel realised Weiss was awake, she stood over her for comfort, "Ma'am, don't worry and just rest for now." Weiss noticed Ciel had a broken arm but in a cast. Despite the pain, Weiss's dreary eyes slowly closed to sleep. Weiss didn't want to rest, she could only feel helpless in this state and that she had failed her crewmates.

At the same time, Winter was preparing her forces "Perfect, we can have ships in north Mistral within twenty-four hours." Winter was briefing a line of military commanders and ship captains, "The Graduate is suspected to have crashed within this general area, however, I wish to increase the search radius by another hundred miles to find anybody fleeing on foot. That's six hundred and twenty-eight point three miles of ground to search, is that understood?"

The officers respectively nod "Yes Ma'am." They answer.

Winter continued to read through her scroll as a young lieutenant woman approached Winter with caution "Excuse me. Ma'am..."

Winter didn't even give a single glance "What is it, lieutenant?" As she continues to read.

The lieutenant was almost afraid to say "Erm, apologies Ma'am... You have a-a visitor that requests your presence..."

Winter thought nothing of it and brushed it aside "Tell them to meet with my aides and book an appointment with my receptionist. Whatever it is, however important it is I'll meet them in my ready room on Winters Reach when it is most appropriate."

The LT wasn't complying, she wasn't afraid of Winter, but something else "sorry ma'am but it's a priority, priority one VIP..."

Winters eyes finally broke off her scroll and looked at the LT "Where?" Winter demands as the other officers watched closely.

The LT leans toward Winter and whispers "Lady's room on the security ring ma'am."

Winter then closed her scroll and dismissed the others, she then made her way to the VIP. Winter was angry at whoever this could be by making her move to them rather the other way around.

Winter rushed in the lady's room and stood at a sink inspecting her uniform by the mirror "Do you have any idea how humiliating it is? That I the most powerful woman in the world have to take the time and move to someone else on their demand." It's a symbol of her power, everybody below must come to Winter and everyone is below Winter.

A bathroom stall opened with a creaking noise and tapping of glass heels on the white tile floor approached and stood next to Winter "Don't delude yourself in thinking that you're the most powerful women in the world, Winter." They look at each other with Winters cold glare and Cinders warm grin.

The two despise one another, Winter demands "What are you doing here Cinder?"

Cinder seemed all too pleased to tell "Salem wants proof of loyalty, she wants you to kill your sister."

Winters jaw dropped with shocked eyes, "kill... We had an agreement and Salem broke the first part, now she wants to break the one thing that gave my loyalty to her in the first place?!"

Despite Winters feeling, Cinder seemed all too pleased to attack her emotions "What did you expect? You have been missing briefings and your reports are coming in late."

That's all? Winter was thinking "Well I'm sorry but suddenly taking over a worldwide empire tends to be time-consuming." Winter sighs heavily with frustration "Running all of it and keeping all this power is more challenging than you think. We would never be in this situation if Salem kept her side of the deal and waited till Weiss left Atlas for the games."

Cinder didn't like what Winter was saying "Don't even try and blame her. This is Salem's point exactly, you're getting far too overconfident with power. Remember, you are alive because Salem allowed it years ago and you can die now when she demands it, never forget who the real power is."

Winter understands perfectly and the real danger she in however Salem's demands, are to great "really, proof of loyalty? I killed my own countrymen, committed treason against my government and poisoned my own farther but she demands more?"

And Cinder decides to mention Winter failures "And after repeated failed attempts to capture the fall maiden, your inability to find Ozpin or his base and the locate any of the items spring maiden. You swear to Salem that with all Atlas had you would find these things without a problem."

Winter used what energy she had to keep herself calm and show Cinder she was in control, "We have searched the academy's many times over this past few years. As for the Maidens, each attack we get closer and closer."

Cinder and Salem didn't want close, they wanted the Maidens, "They keep getting lucky and escaping you, Winter." Cinder reminds her.

But Winter was still confident in her abilities and the power Atlas has handed her, "Ozpin and the Maidens can be lucky and escape us a thousand times, we just need to be lucky the once to catch them or someone they know."

"If you think you can impress me, Winter, you're not, don't show power but use it." Cinder is on edge dealing with Winter and wanted to leave however she had to ask another question. "You say you're having trouble holding onto power? Salem wants a report on what can be done to handle this."

Winter takes a breath "Well... As long as the state of emergency is high and in effect, I can legally hold all my titles as state defence general and others."

Cinder has a few ideas "So, keep the threat level up and remind the world the dangers that are out there and why they need you and your ships." Cinder walked to the door, she looked over her shoulder smiling at Winter "Remember, soon as you find her. Do as you are told."

Cinder left, Winter clenched her fist in anger. Very well Winter was thinking. If that is how it is played, then so be it. Winter then re-joined the other officers with new orders, "Cancel the search." What? the officers were confused. "We have every right to hunt the Graduate but deploying unauthorised ships in Mistral territory will compromise our operations in the country, so we will wait until approval of the Mistral embassy."

One of the other officers offered an alternative "Ma'am, why not send an authorised ship then? We have over twenty to choose from."

Winter understood the reason for the idea, but she refused "Sending one ship will make a hole in our mission. We are reaching a dangerous point with Mistral and we can't risk a narrow margin of error to be our complete mission failure."

The officers had doubts but understood and obeyed. Winter knew this move affects her place in the Atlas military and if Salem finds out it will anger her. However, Winter can't follow this order if she can't find Weiss. For now, she is safe and hopefully has a head start for Winter to figure out a solution.

Later before the day ends Winter sat at her privet computer on Winter's Reach planningfor the day the carrier will deploy again in her free time. Until the same lieutenant from before entered the room "Excuse me Ma'am, new images from Naval Intelligence has processed through. Your eyes only."

The lieutenant is a trusted agent of Winter, the LT reads,and processes classified information and asks no questions saving Winter time and providing previous information on the matter if needed. The LT is a special agent that only answers to the head of Naval Intelligence. Winter takes the intel and finds a set of photographs. The LT explains "These photos were taken at the east fire exit of Devin Wind Airport in Mistral; the cameras are under rapiers and these suspects seem to be using this to seek past security, however, this one was still active Ma'am."

Winter looked closely at photo one, it was Cinders agent Mercury Blake and the suspected rebel ally Roman Torchwick. Nothing too serious really, until Winter looked at photo two and saw the fall Maiden Amber and a red hooded girl. This was great Winter was thinking, she can add this to the Mistral operation. As Winter smiled at the opportunity, she then had a closer look at the red hooded girl and inquired, "Do we have a better picture of this girl?"

The LT shuffle some papers and points "This one Ma'am." She also holds another document of information or lack of information about this girl "There is no record of this girl anywhere, she's a ghost likely born outside of the kingdoms, overseas territories and colonies. Mistral has no record either. By far, until now she did not exist."

Winter takes hold and looked closely, she then puts her finger on red hoods face and whispers, "Silver eyes…" Now Winter was worried, is red hood another Maiden or Ambers apprentice? Either one is just as dangerous, she will have to be on guard with this one, but this is the one lucky break for her.

Mercury Black & Roman Torchwick

In the far northeast of the capital of Mistral, there was a howling roar across the sky as a Goliath stuck in a trap could be heard far and wide. There was a smash and cracking as it breaks free from the traps of nets, wires and trees. As it got free the Grimm Goliath stampedes away crushing everything in its path. When it was finally a safe distance away Mercury and Roman came out of hiding in the trees.

"Told you it wouldn't work." Mercury reminds Roman.

"Thank you, you are very helpful." Roman sarcastically said as he flicks his hat with his cane, "Now, how about bright new ideas on getting in…" They stand to look at an old missile silo that leads deep underground. The plan was not to trap the Goliath but use its force to open the silo, it didn't work. Still shut tight when the builders of the trap gathered around, scratching their heads on how to open it.

It's hopeless the builders were saying, there is just no way to lift open a two hundred eighty ton door from the outside while the four solid iron clamps are shut tight. Mercury states an obvious idea, "Why not go the back way or something?"

Roman lights a cigar and shacks his head "When this place was shut down, the main entrances were welded shut with a foot of iron and sealed with another hundred feet of cement. This is our best way in."

They step back and take a deep breath to think. Then they start arguing, in the fury, Roman yelled "I Don't Know How About knocking!" he bangs his cane loudly on the side.

Mercury kicks with a louder bang, "Perhaps it opens on command!?" he rests his hands flat to the silo "Hey sweetheart. Why not please open up to me like the rest of the girls?"

Then suddenly, there was hissing from the silo. Everybody stepped back as it begins vibrating, Mercury gasped, he couldn't believe it worked. Roman looked at Mercury thinking this is not happening now…

The Silo door then began sliding back finally opening as the two hundred ton door screeches open after being shut for years. Then it stopped and there was silence again, Roman and Mercury looked at each other then looked back at the silo as they could hear tapping inside. Someone was climbing up the step ladders, they stand on guard ready with surprise as Neo peeks her head over smiling. She casually waves her fingers at the boys then starts climbing back down.

The builders hang their head in shame, Mercury straightens his collar and Roman through his cigar away. Everybody then starts climbing down and Mercury asked something he should of since coming here, "What is this place? It doesn't look like Atlas tach."

Roman explains "This place is built by Mistral. At the end of the great war, it was clear that Atlas had great advantages with space flight, so Mistral started their own program. The point of it was to balance out the power in the world."

They made it to the bottom, "So what happened?" Mercury's next question.

And Roman stated the obvious, "It didn't work." They walked and followed a path of glow sticks Neo had made as the builders bring down tools and generators for their mission. Farther inside they came across a larger room that was a factory assembly line. Roman then gave some more details "They obtained materials and started from scratch. Years later, eight hundred billion wasted with nothing to show and the only result being was Atlas got a good laugh out of it."

The silo was made to research, assemble and launch missiles. The room they were in was full of all kinds of rockets, rocket parts, dust and tools. Mercury stands and feels the largest of rockets there, "Is this wood?"

Roman nods as he takes his hat and tranche coat off to get ready to work, "They clearly believed that making the rockets lighter would help get it higher but didn't think that fire and wood would not work well."

So, all this is useless Mercury was thinking, the dust, scrap and tools could be obtained anywhere. And the silo is far too out the way to be used as a base so what is the point?

Roman pats Mercury on the back and tells the next part of the plan "It's not the rockets we want, its what's on the inside we need. Once we have it, we wait for the next step from the boss."

Chapter 9 END

Hello everyone, I just wanted to say sorry it's been awhile and thank you for your support. And I wanted to say thank you Boyy2k he has been a very loyal fan of my fiction and I want to say I'm a fan of his OC, Adamant. You all should check it out, it is my most favourite written OC I've read. And I'm pleased to say we are doing a partnership of a few short chapters of his OC characters in the dark world of Atlas as filler. We've been talking about it a lot and where having fun with the idea :)

Anyway, please leave a review and PM me what you think.
