A hole in reality had opened up, but it was not just any hole. Instead, it was a bridge between worlds. A permanent bridge that was large enough to transport a great amount to this world.
Here, the first explorers arrived into the new world. Just like any explorer, they were armed.
Multiple particles of various colors were slipping out of this hole in reality. Each particle had begun to fill each puzzle which had begun to form people who had finally arrived.
Two men had arrived and stepped forward from the large hole. One of them was a higher rank. The sergeant's boots sank into the snow as a cold chill gave him goosebumps. His breaths were immediately snuffed out by the cold before his voice broke the silent night. "Corporal Atkins, get first section to get a campfire up! It's nithered here!" He ordered loudly.
More men poured from the hole as they began to join with their platoon. At this time, he trudged through the snow in his summer uniform as he reached a dozen meters away from most of the men who were met by the cold. "First section, form a fire pit!" Atkins ordered as he lowered his rifle and looked back to see his section arriving to his position. "Chivy up yeh sorry lot, unless yeh want to freeze here." Fifteen men quickly searched around to find any wood as Atkins turned around to watch the holes.
The amount of men exponentially grew from a mere dozen to dozens. Then light tanks had begun to drive out, meeting the snow on their treads. More military equipment was brought out as the corporal smiled at the sight of the truck.
It was not the sight of the truck which concerned him, but it was the firepower the vehicle was bringing. It was dragging a Bofors AA gun as it's crew was freezing in their seats, looking around to their fellows in the snow.
Now that a majority of 3rd Battalion was coming all at once, there were men and units that were trying to gather themselves together after the initial landfall from the hole. It was great that he could be part of this, if only the snow and the cold were not in the way.
Suddenly, the sounds of distress had called out to him as he began to turn around to see his men return. This time, their weapons were raised. "Shufty out, it's coming!" one of the riflemen screamed out.
It was to his horror, Corporal Atkins was shocked to see a beast like that of a wolf. However, it was taller and larger than any wolf he had seen. It gave off a terrible feeling of fear in his mind when he saw the menacing red eyes stare at him. There wasn't just one in their way, there were seven more of these creatures which came in a pack. The creature watching him had lunged forth, but on all fours as it charged.
The first gunshot fired from an infantryman standing across from him. His section joined in the defense as more of the wolf-like creatures joined in the assault.
Atkins turned away from the first shots of rifle fire and turned towards the arrivals of 3rd Battalion. "Bloody hell, I need help over here!" He cried out for his only source of assistance. Those who were nearby were bringing their rifles as they sprinted over to join the corporal in the defense. However, the British soldier heard the pain and agony of his men as he turned over to see the eight wolf creatures tear through the men with their claws. He cried out in terror as he fired his rifle before a machine gunner fired his LMG onto the wolf-like creatures.
However, it was all in vain the wolf pack moved on from the wounded and descended upon the next line of sections trying to hold them back. One of them had reached for him with a quick slash as Atkins fell back. Searing in pain, the corporal screamed in agony as the vicious cold showed no mercy to his body. The wolf pack had begun to continue their path towards the unprepared lines of the 3rd Battalion. As he tried to cover up his wounds, Corporal Atkins watched the night above him as the volume of gunfire increased. Cannons and guns alike had joined together to fend off this attack, but it only brought more death when he felt the ground shake and a roar awake everyone of this new cruel world.
After some time of shivering in the snow, it almost felt like his blood had already been frozen, but those thoughts didn't even matter as his body slowly ceased to struggle with the cold. Then a shadow fell over him as he saw a gorilla-like monster clad in black; however, it was armored with bony plates which forced this animal to not be called a gorilla. Sadly, it was the only word to describe this creature as it snarled angrily at the corporal whose body was laid out upon the ground. The creature brought its evil intention as the monster brought its hands in the air and had begun to bring the power down on its victim.
Atkins closed his eyes as he heared the shouting of men and the gunfire in the distance.
The first blood on the Earth explorers had stained the snow on Remnant.
Doctor Sauer was standing at a console and looked up to see a platform with a ramp going to the ground. This was to allow the vehicles and the heavy armor to be brought into Remnant as he watched at his work with pride. It was with great luck that he managed to get this done and completed in the right way as this was the only safe way to get to Remnant with tons of the military equipment. With that being noted, this technological marvel would possibly garner attention from those of this world and the best way to not get attention was to cross over into Remnant and simply disappear from society for a time until he returned.
His gaze fell upon the hole in reality which was larger than any he had created and thanks to the Allied support, he was given a great amount of resources which allowed him the means to creating this piece of technology which specialized in creating a bridge between worlds. The problem, was that he needed the resources to keep this bridge stable. During his time with the German scientific community, he was shrugged off as he was completely different from the norm and they refused to believe him in some cases. The Allies on the other hand, seemed to show a great amount of interest in this work and thus allowing him to do better.
He blocked his thoughts out as he watched Captain Durante organize his men among his company with their tanks ready to move through the bridge. The doctor looked down at his watch and read it as 10:34 PM, the captain would have then joined the British convoy trying to get into Remnant and the schedule would be complete on time.
However, Sauer, saw British soldiers flooding out of the hole in reality as they halted the convoy moving in with their presence. After all, the drivers didn't desire to run over their own soldiers.
The driver leading the British convoy into the hole in reality looked out from his window seat and yelled. "What the bloody hell are you idiots doing?!" He called them out.
An officer among the pouring of men had his uniform covered in blood and he responded in force. "Get back, those monsters are trying to get through!" The officer stated before he lead the men retreating from the hole in reality to safety.
It had now occurred to Sauer that the Grimm were the cause of this mess that happened. He had forgotten one problem with this hole in reality, where the receiving end would be located. For all he knew, it may have led these young men into the frontiers and the wild lands of Remnant. His only option now was to mend this mistake once and for all.
The doctor stepped away from the console and walked through the ramp, passing by the flood of soldiers trying to get past him. However, he didn't care if they were harmed by the creatures of the Grimm. His main concern was to make the other side a safe place for these men to arrive in.
Suddenly, a familiar voice had called out to him. "Doctor Sauer, what the hell are you doing?" He stopped walking up the ramp and turned around to see Captain Durante aiming his sidearm at him. "What are you trying to do?"
Sauer could see his firm determination with his finger on the trigger and he would applaud him for his willingness to fire it. "Captain, I'm going to try to secure the area on the other side for your men." He answered. "You are going to have to trust me on this one."
"And what if I don't?" The officer questioned.
"Many people will die unless I take care of this mess myself."
Then he holstered his sidearm and brought his Thomspon to bear. "Alright, I'm coming with you if you telling me the truth."
Sauer was relieved that this man could listen to reason. "Just stay behind me." He added. "It is for your own safety."
"Got it." The captain turned around and shouted to his men waiting in the open. "Fox Company on me, Rangers on the double!" He ordered.
The doctor continued his path into Remnant as he touched the hole in reality with his fingertips and watched as his body disintegrated into particles. He waited calmly as he felt his body being lunged forth, but that was his mind trying to wrap things around the issue at hand. Luckily, this process was immediate as he arrived to find his shoes met with snow.
He looked around and was met with a sick sight that most humans couldn't fathom. Bodies were strewn around the hole in reality as he saw pockets of infantry fighting behind the safety of their tanks as the Grimm packs had begun to descend upon them. Sauer made his first step as he crushed the snow beneath him, but his first step had managed to stop this attack as the creatures turned away from their victims and towards him.
All he could do was smile as he continued walking in the snow, he was met by every creature of the Grimm which he solely recognized. However, there were also some creatures had never seen before. A thought occurred to him as to who was responsible for causing that. "I guess that was my wife's work." Doctor Sauer whispered to himself.
The soldier from their defensive positions had turned to take notice of him as the creatures came over to meet him.
"Holy shit..." Doctor Sauer turned around to see Captain Durante with dozens of men with their weapons at the ready. The officer was shocked by the sight of so many monsters who surrounded their entire group.
He sensed a beast come up to him as the doctor looked to the front to see an Ursa start sniffing him. It growled at him as it came into biting distance of his face.
Then he heard Durante's cries. "Doctor!"
Sauer had to stop him from doing anything stupid. "Captain Durante, stay put!" He demanded while his gaze was face to face with the ursa. "I will handle this matter myself." The ursa's growl grew louder and it insulted him very much. "You dare growl at me." He spoke softly.
Then the doctor slapped the beast in the face as the ursa's body had begun to disintegrate from the world.
"That is the price you pay for insulting your maker." He then noticed the pack of ursas backing away from his presence as he looked around to see all of the creatures staring at him. "Leave this place, lest I make examples of all of you." He ordered. "Do not return, but if you do return in force I will end you."
Just like that, the creatures of Grimm fled the scene of destruction at the orders of the doctor in all directions. Sauer rested his hands behind his back as Captain Durante found himself right next to the man. He turned his head to see the bodies strewn around the hole of reality before he turned to confront the doctor. "Doctor Sauer, if there is one thing I will say. I will never get onto your bad side." He commented.
A smile was all he could say about the matter at hand. "I hope you never do."
"Well, looks like I got a mess to handle." The officer stated as he turned away from the doctor and joined his men. "Get the medics and get as many people you can back over here!" Monte shouted his orders. "We got wounded and dead, take care of them!"
As Captain Durante left the doctor to himself, Sauer looked around and pretended to not see the bodies as he began to watch the familiar land he almost forgot about. Even nine years was a long time for him, but all he could feel was being content. He was back on Remnant and he was back home.
