Well folks, it's time for another chapter of Remnant's Guardian Forces.
This one's mostly gonna be action so put on your action jeans folks, let's get started.

[No P.O.V.]
The Train crash had shot Team RWBY out of the newly made hole and into the middle of Vale's plaza, thankfully due to the ice shield and the Protect spells Team RWBY was hardly injured from to crash.
"Is everyone alright?" Ruby shouted to her team.
"Doing good!" Yang shouted.
"I'm good." Weiss replied.
"Nothing's broken." Blake said.
They didn't get much more time to talk as the Grimm began to pour out of the hole created by the train crash, the civilians scattering as the Grimm showed up.
"No more time to talk." Alexander said, appearing in full, "Now we have to stop these Grimm from spreading."
The other GF's appeared completely as well, as many hands as possible would be needed for an invasion of this scale.
[FF8: Don't be afraid]
"Thundaga!" Ruby shouted casting her magic, creating several bolts of lightning that hit a single Ursa, killing it in an instant.
"Lvl? Death." Weiss intoned looking at a group of Beowolves that had stopped in front of her.
A chilling wind filled the air and black void opened up in front of the Beowolves on the ground, from them came small figures wearing tattered black robes and holding scythes and had no legs. The little reapers then swung their scythes a single time, leaving no visible marks on the Grimm, yet the all exploded into black vapor.
"Blue magic is terrifying." Blake said slashing down a Creep.
Before long Ruby found herself in front of a King Taijitu, both of them ready to strike.
However as the Taijitu reared it's head, the ground beneath it heaved.
Ruby stumbled back as a massive chunk of earth below the Taijitu was lifted from the ground, revealing Sacred lifting the mass of earth.
Sacred then threw the chunk of earth high into the air, almost out of sight even. Sacred smirked before he blinked and looked down, where Minotaur stood with one hand balled into a fist. The two then began... to play a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. Sacred threw Rock, while Minotaur, at the last second, threw paper.
Sacred's jaw dropped as Minotaur smirked and kneeled down and grabbed Sacred by his feet.
"Not again!" Sacred shouted as Minotaur threw Sacred up toward the chunk of earth.
A few minutes later several chunks of earth fell back into the hole right after Minotaur climbed out of it, filing it back to perfect condition, followed by the Taijitu crashing back down as splattering into black paste.
Sacred crashed back down face first soon after.
"I think Team JNPR arrived." Alexander deadpanned as the four members of said team jumped from a Bullhead, though Jaune seemed to jump out a bit earlier than he should have based on his stumble.
"Siren!" Jaune called out as he faced a group of Grimm.
Out of seemingly nowhere, a wave of violet-pink water surged over the Grimm, transporting them into a separate space.
In that separate space the Grimm were all standing atop the water as a single rock jutted from the water, Siren's wings covering her whole body before peeling them away. Siren smiled softly as she played her harp, which sent out golden waves of music that washed over the Grimm. Siren then stopped her music, tearing the Grimm out of the separate space, killing them in the process.
"Don't leave my lighting bird buddy out of this!" Nora declared, "Come Quezacotl!"
With that declaration a thunderstorm suddenly appeared overhead, lighting rumbling withing the clouds for a moment before a bolt of lighting shot toward the grounds, directly in front of a group of Beowolves.
From that bolt of lightning Quezacotl emerged in a spin, spreading her wings and flapping once. Drawing energy to where her mouth would be, Quezacotl unleash bolts of electricity, not hitting the Grimm, however this ended up forming a dome of electrical energy around the Grimm, and from the peak of this dome a thunderclap sounded, followed by a surge of electrical energy shooting straight down from the tip of this dome and striking the Grimm. This created a contained blast of electrical energy that fried the Grimm.
"I haven't lost my touch yet." Quezacotl said satisfied.
"Pandemona!" Ren intoned, "Come!"
In front of a group of Creep Grimm a cyclone formed, not sucking up any Grimm, but from this cyclone descended Pandemona, his arms crossed and his tail wrapped around him. When he landed the cyclone vanished, and he unwrapped his tail and uncrossed his arms.
Pandemona reared back slighty and breathed in through the holes on his shoulder... with the force of a hurricane, sucking in the Creeps as the comically shrunk to fit inside the holes, with the orb on his tail expanding into an orb the size of his body, filled with air and Creeps.
Finally after a few moment Pandemona stopped breathing in... and then he exhaled, shooting out the built up wind and Creeps in front of him, forming a tornado that sent the Creep's skyward, crashing into Nevermore's and killing both types of Grimm.
"That's still disgusting no matter how many times I see it." Shiva deadpanned.
Pretty soon the Atleasian army showed up, with Team CFVY nearby as well, along with Sun and Neptune, with all but the Atlesian army (Which this troop consisted of nothing but robots) Not questioning the GF's for the time being, save for Sun who already knew about them.
"I think we've almost got them all!" Ruby shouted slicing a Beowolf in half, only to hear a roar behind her.
Ruby gasped as she looked behind her to see a Beringal, an ape like Grimm, towering over her with it's fist raised.
"Eep!" Ruby squeaked as she instinctivly closed her eyes and raised Crescent Rose to block.
It was then everyone heard the neighing of a horse, followed by the sound of a blade slicing three times.
Ruby opened her eyes and gasped as the Beringal, and the several dozen Grimm behind it, all began to slide in half diagonally, a clean cut.
As the Grimm faded Ruby saw none other than the revived GF Odin in front of her, his sword lowered.
"It can't be..." Alexander gasped, "He... he was cut in half."
A Deathstalker reared up behind Odin, ready to (Futilely) sting Odin and tear him apart with it's pincers.
"Hrah!" A voice very familiar to Ruby and Yang cried out.
"Uncle Qrow!?" Ruby cried out in glee as she saw her uncle dash toward the Deathstalker, then the world seemed to flash and miss a scene as Qrow appeared on the other side of the Deathstalker at the same time a swords 'Shing' was heard.
Then the Deathstalker began to slide in half.
"Did... Odin... Alive... What?" Diablos asked as Glynda sealed up the destroyed wall.
[OST end]
"Uncle Qrooooooow!" Ruby cheered before latching onto her uncle's free arm, "Hi."
"Hey kiddo." Qrow said smirking, his breath surprisingly free of alcohol for once, "You doing alright?"
"I'm doing great!" Ruby squealed hugging her uncles arm tighter.
"What are you doing here Uncle Qrow?" Yang asked giving her uncle a one armed hug.
"Odin-" Qrow said gesturing to the horse mounted GF, "Wanted to let the other GF's know of his return, and admittedly I wanted to see my two nieces."
"Odin..." Siren said as she appeared on Slephnir's back, "How did you come back?"
"Off." Odin said sternly, causing Siren to pout and hop off the horse, "The Sorceress Musaline believes that I would serve her if resurrected."
This got all the GF's to chuckle at the Sorceresses rookie mistake.
"So what brought you here with the drunken uncle?" Ifrit asked hiking a thumb at Qrow.
"I have junctioned with the man." Odin said, causing the other GF's to go wide eyed with shock... save for Alexander who had no eyes.
"This is a story I have to hear." Shiva said.
[Deling City: Sorceresses estate]
"WHAT HAPPENED!?" Musaline shouted slamming her fists on the console of the computer, which was showing video footage of one of her facilities.
However there was an alarm blaring and people screaming.
"One of the two creatures we set in the same cage tricked us." The NG Soldier cried out in a panic, "It tricked us into thinking it was male when it was female, they became a mated pair and we lost control of the situation when they lashed out, now all ten of them have become mated!"
"No... Evacuate the facility immediately!" Musaline demanded, "Do not engage the creatures, you can't handle them! Take the Bullheads, Ships, use some damned rowboats for all I care, just get the hell out of-"
Musaline was cut off when the man on screen screamed as a violet tinged arm grabbed the man by his neck and dragged him away, followed by an inhuman cry before the screen turned to static.
"No..." Musaline gasped, despite the fact that only he was listening to her, the security protocols demand that whenever a facility it compromised, whether it be from the inside or outside it must be destroyed... But this facility didn't have the destruction protocol, it had only an escape protocol.
Musaline back away from the monitor, "I shouldn't have made those things... They've gotten smarter now..." Musaline sighed falling to her bed, "And I can't leave now, not with the festival being so close..."
Finally Musaline's eyes grew heavy as she fell asleep, her mind being weighed down by the mistake she had made.
Facility 7 was now a victim of the same fate as the Esthar air/space vehicle Ragnarok.
[[]]
Whoo, that took a while to write.
Anyway, next chapter will be a new mini arc before we peek into Musaline's memories again.
FF8 Veterans would known just what's now roaming Facility 7... and now there's more than what was on Ragnarok.
I'll see you all then.
