"Inferno what just happened!" Stacker shouted into the comm, a massive energy spike coming from the breach location.
"No idea, the breach let out a huge flash, I can't see a thing!" Yang responded.
"Energy signature dropping again sir!" Tendo announced, "Readings are steadying just above normal levels, orders sir?"
"Keep observing for now. Where are Strikers pilots?" Stacker asked.
"Pilot evacuation pods have reached the ocean surface, helicopters are en-route now. Vital signs are normal."
Stacker nodded, "Good, let me know when they get back here. All we can hope for now is that the others come back through…"

"What on earth was that?!" Hunter yelled as the explosion shook the ground beneath them.
"Must have been the nuke, that's the only thing that could have made shockwaves all the way over here." The female pilot of Cherno Alpha answered.
"Scanning energy signatures." Shade said, pressing a few buttons on his panel before error messages started popping up, "Whatever caused that is messing with the sensors, so the nukes definitely probable."
"Shade what was that?!" Sun asked over the Comm, "That was huge!"
"Long story short, it's a really big bomb." Hunter cut in, "Lets hope and pray it worked."
The Jaegers started lumbering over to the lake - now noticeably smaller - hoping that it the portal was stable enough for them to go through. When they reached it, they saw the frothing liquid was too disturbed to see through.
"I can't see a thing! What do we do now? Go through?" Hunter asked.
"That seems like the best course of action at the moment. There are risks though," Shade started, "We don't know if it even worked."
"If it worked, we've got a stable portal from Remnant to Earth, if it didn't… well, we're stuck." Hunter summarized.
Shade sighed. They only had so many options, and this was one of the only ones they had, "Well, here we go."
The Jaeger began to walk forward, the ground cracking beneath its feet. When it reached the portal, it slowly began to submerge into the golden, swirling liquid. The difference between this trip and the ones before was instantly obvious. The golden liquid flowed around them, blue electrical currents flowed all around, and when they reached the other side, everything was dark.
"Did it work?" Hunter asked, looking around. The window in front of them was black, no light visible anywhere.
Shade reached up and pressed the comm-link, "This is Ranger Shade Schnee, does anyone copy?" He asked. Static filled the comms.
"Is anyone there? Stacker, can you hear us?" Hunter asked into the comm.
More static.
Shade was holding his breath, praying that they didn't mess this up.
"-mond Banshee! Do you copy!" a voice came over the comm.
Shade and Hunter released their breaths, laughing joyfully, "This is Diamond Banshee! We hear you!"
"Thank God! Your alive!" Summer answered said over the comm, "It worked! We did it!"
Laughter and cheers were heard over the commlink, and Shade and Hunter joined it.
"Hey summer, you miss us?" Hunter asked cheekily,
Summer laughed again into the comm again, "let's get you two back up here! Then we can all visit."

Days passed relatively quickly. With the return of Shade and Hunter, it was confirmed that the plan had worked, and a stable form of transportation was soon created to travel between earth and remnant.
Several tankers would sit above the breach, with a submarine that would ferry people between worlds. The lake on remnant was large enough that multiple submarines could travel back and forth.
Within a week, the PPDC was making a defense pact with Atlas, the other kingdoms following suit rather quickly. Earth was informed almost as soon as Diamond Banshee made contact that the threat of the Kaiju was over. No more would people have to cower in fear of the monsters knocking on their doors.
Remnant was revealed to the public a month later, with large countries like the US, Russia, and China trying to figure out a way to colonize the new world. Fortunately for Remnant, the four kingdoms had 'claimed' the land around the portal on their side, and the PPDC was blocking any traffic to remnant as it was.
Negotiations would likely drag on for months, maybe even years. It didn't matter to team SPHR and their crew, however, as they spent most of their time on remnant…
"So Grimm activity is that low now?" Petra asked.
"Yeah, with Salem out of the picture and Ozpin back, everything's running smoothly," Shade said with a chuckle, "Ozpin was shocked when we told him Salem was crushed by a Jaeger."
Petra laughed, "Well then, guess it'll make our jobs easier. Then there's earth… how are negotiations going anyways?" She asked.
Hunter sighed, "Russia and the US want to colonize remnant and take what the kingdoms don't own. And China just wants some semblance of control over the situation. There are some smaller players overall, but those three are the biggest. Fortunately for us, the PPDC has it under wraps." He explained.
The group talked a bit more about the affairs of the world at large before they all decided to head to team RWBY's dorm. When they arrived, no one was there except for a very miffed Weiss.
"They just up and left!" She fumed, clearly angry at her teammates.
"I mean, it is school break," Rona pointed out, "I wouldn't be surprised if they all went home for it."
Weiss sighed heavily, her head hanging, "And here they leave me…"
"Oh come on!" Petra said as she slung her arm around Weiss' neck, "Why don't you hang out with us? We were planning to go to vale and get something to eat, then go watch a movie!"
Weiss raised an eyebrow, before conceding to join them. What would be the harm in food and entertainment?

Summer stood outside the door to the house on patch. Her house. The one that herself and Tai had bought when they'd gotten married. The house where she'd gotten to raise Ruby and Yang for the first few years of their lives. The house that she hadn't seen in over twelve years.
Her hand raised to knock on the door but froze before she could do so. Would Tai still think of her the same way t that he did all those years ago? Pulling together as much strength as she could, she knocked on the door.
"Be there in a second!" She heard Tai yell from inside the house. Her breath hitched at the sound of his voice.
The door opened, and there stood Taiyang Xiao Long, her husband, and father to her two children. Tai froze, dropping the box that was in his hands. Summer tried to speak, but the words were stuck in her throat.
"S-summer?" He asked hesitantly, not quite sure if what he was seeing was real. He reached out, his hand framing his long-lost wife's face.
Summer let out a breath she didn't even realize she was holding, before reaching up to touch the hand on her cheek. The two didn't say anything before they both collapsed into laughter as they drew each other into a loving embrace. They sat in the doorway, hugging and kissing to make up for the years they'd missed.
They were finally back together again.

A/N: Yet another very short chapter. If you can't see it already, I'll say it; the story is ending very soon. It might be next chapter or it might be the one after it, but this story is drawing to a close.
There are multiple reasons I'm ending the story, but there are three main ones:
1) I've done what I set out to do when I started this fic. I've fixed the RWBY universe and I've changed the Pacific Rim universe in a positive way.
2) I'm burnt out. I've run out of ideas for this fic and I want to move on to other stories. I'm proud of what I've made, and I feel it deserves an ending. I could just as easily leave this story to the dust and move on, but instead, I am giving it an ending.
3) I have other life responsibilities. I'm taking college classes, I have a family, and I'm trying to write a novel. As much as I love writing this story and other fanfiction (don't worry, I won't stop) I do want to try and focus more on other aspects of my life.
So, as far as all things go, these are the last few chapters of Jaegers And Grimm. I'm working on writing other stories with Robocop3301 - as you may know if you've seen some of my other stories - and I have an idea for another few stories I want to write.
That and Grammarly is a funky app.
Anyway, reviews!
Gamerman22: As cool as it would be to write the white fang and SDC having to deal with all those forces, this is not the story to do so, and I am not the person to write it. If you want to see those forces get their due, I would recommend fics such as "Men of Onyx" by kpmh2001 and "RWBY - The Pen and the Sword" by TwoChimpsWithoutOne. Both of the authors do excellent jobs of writing their stories.
Obsidian Prime: Well, the plan works! I probably won't end up writing them sharing tech, but who knows ;)
Peroroncino: Well, here's the next chapter! Not as soon as I had hoped to get it out, but here it is!
