Chapter 3 - Reunions and Explanations

Unknown Village

After the villagers got over their shock of recent events, Grace lead Tekkadan to Masahiro's tent, the latter was still out cold, but Grace told them he would recover in 3 days. There was much medical equipment inside the tent where Masahiro was held, however, some of the medics moved the least necessary ones out of the way a bit to make room for some more members to fit in. As of now, Orga, Mika, Akihiro, Shino and Biscuit. They were also joined by, surprise, Kudelia's former maid, Fumitan, which surprised the Tekkadan members greatly, except Biscuit (who was the first to see her after coming to Remnant).

Orga, before he entered the tent looked behind him after feeling a pat on the back. Golden eyes met brown ones, paired with smooth, grey hair, and a young face and body frame.

"I-I'm… my name is... Pedro, I was a member of the Brewers," Orga held a stunned face as soon as he heard the boy's name and the mention of one of the space pirates they defeated, Brewers, "and I'm pretty sure that you know... but, I-I was killed by one of you…" the fact had both unnerved the now named Pedro and Tekkadan's leader.

While Orga was not one to dwell on the past too much, he did regret not being able to save, or take in all of the kids that the Brewers' ship held on deck. And the fact that he was speaking to one of the guy's whose life they took just made his heart squeeze painfully.

…But… now that life was behind them, and now that they are in a new world with a new life,. It's time to bygones be bygones and forgive each other for what happened in the past.

Turning his attention to the kid, Orga extended his hand to him, "Thank you for all your help. I understand that we don't have… the best history with each other… but… let me be the first to say that we're sorry for what happened, and we can assure you history won't repeat itself here." His genuine voice helped gain some trust and assured Pedro, and the latter became brave enough to shake the former's hand, albeit showing some nervousness still present.

"Allow me, the boss of Tekkadan, to welcome you and some of your friends to our family." Orga explained, his hand moving from Pedro's hand, to his head so that he could ruffle his hair a bit.

While some trust is in order, Pedro could tell when a grown up man was being honest with him or not, and judging by the Tekkadan boss' posture, lack of stammering, and solid eyes that show no hatred were all the things that confirmed Orga wasn't lying.

"I… thank you, Org-ah, I-I mean… boss, we won't let you down." Pedro said, giving a small smile and a salute.

"You guys can call me Orga, if ya want." Orga said, his eyes averting from Pedro, to the small group of other kids a few meters behind them both, now wearing newly-made green, or brown Tekkadan jackets with the organization's symbol on the back. Fumitan was giving them warm drinks to help.

He left the boy and went inside the tent where the others were in. Inside, medical equipment, tools, and a bit of blood in a few places could be seen. Lying in the middle of it all was Masahiro, sleeping peacefully under the green sheets of his patient bed.

Around the young boy were the members sitting in the tent with Fumitan, either sitting or standing next to Masahiro. Things were silent among them, as there were a lot to say, but… not a single person could really usher a word, leaving things quiet at the moment for a few seconds.

"So… Biscuit - mind telling us what's going on here, cause I'm… lost as hell." Shino explained, sitting down on a chair with everyone else, being the first to speak in hopes of ridding the tension in the air.

Eyes turned to Biscuit, who kindly asked, though a bit awkwardly, in return, "Well, what do all want to know first?"

Been quiet a long while for Biscuit had the chance to talk… to anyone from Tekkadan, and for them to just randomly show up was something he ain't prepared for.

Orga was the first to ask a fairly important question while folding his arms, "Before we go into the whole 'we're on a new world and wanna learn it' thing, tell us about these… Grimm?" Orga asked.

A pretty easy topic for the new Man Rodi pilot to explain, so he explained from the start, "In Remnant, the Grimm are monsters considered to be the bane of humanity as long as history would record them. It's very likely these are creatures without souls. Honestly, no one even knows where they came from or… anything else at the matter, but had it not been for the discovery of Dust to fight back, humanity would've been wiped out." Biscuit explained, getting everyone's attention in many different ways.

"Bane of Humanity my butt. Every. Single. Mobile Armor that I faced not only put up more of a fight than these 'Grimm', they've killed thousands and shed so much blood I can't even guess the oceans are painted red." Gusion angrily commented, feeling insulted that such "bugs" were pushing humanity to the brink for so long compared to fighting Mobile Armors.

"W-wait, Dust?! How does something as useless as Dust help?" Shino asked, looking very incredulous as to how something that is collected by cleaning equipment every day could fight off such monsters.

"Shino, I don't think he means the kind that you could find just anywhere." Flauros commented.

Biscuit made a small laugh before going into detail as to what he meant, "I'm not talking about that kin d of dust, Shino." Flauros made a similar laugh after hearing he was right.

"According to ancient legend, humanity has been fighting a losing battle against the "creatures of darkness", a.k.a Grimm. However, through their resourcefulness and ingenuity, humanity managed to discover and harness a source of power they named "Dust" to fight back against the Grimm." Biscuit explained, before Fumitan decided to explain next after finish serving tea.

"The discovery of Dust became the key turning point in the man-Grimm war. Legends tell after mankind driving the Grimm back along with civilizations building up, Dust became a key element in Remnant's everyday life." Fumitan explained, before letting Biscuit take over.

"Despite widespread use and prevalence in society, humanity still doesn't understand the origins or the implications of using Dust." Biscuit explained, handing Orga a pamphlet as the others gathered around to get a better look.

In the pamphlet was more information on Dust, written in an article style: As it states, Dust is known as a naturally occurring, crystallized energy propellant, triggered by the Aura of humans and faunus for unknown reasons. Dust does not function outside of the atmosphere of Remnant, precluding the possibility of space flight.

Types of Dust

The four basic Dust forms: Dust can be found in four basic types. These four types can be combined both artificially and naturally to form other dust types, each with their own unique properties. Different colors of Dust corresponds to their different natures or effects.

The four basic colors are shown to be red, blue, yellow, and green. Other known colors include dark blue, cyan, white, purple, bright orange, etc. Each color has its own unique property as well:

Wind or Air

Fire or Burn

Water

Ice

Steam

Gravity

Energy

Earth

Crystalline and Powdered: Dust can be found in two distinct states, crystalline and powdered. Both crystalline and powdered Dust are known to be highl unstable, and should be handled with care to prevent any explosions. Both powdered and crystalline Dust can presumably be activated by Aura.

"Interesting." Orga said, finished reading the pamphlet. While reading, everyone noticed some peculiar things that were there, yet to have been defined.

"What's… Aura?" Mikazuki asked.

"Aura is the manifestation of one's soul, and it can be used for a wide range of abilities. The specific capabilities and strength level of Aura differ from individual to individual, and it is dependent on a variable of factors, like experience, training, and initial skill. Aura is mainly used to act as a defensive shield around the person." Biscuit replied to Mikazuki's question, leaving no trace of annoyance.

"So, if that's true, then can Aura block stuff like swords… or a bullet?" Akihiro asked, being curious for all the things they've learned.

"Yeah, sword strikes and bullets are blocked from your physical body as long as your Aura is functional, but you can still feel pain and Aura takes time to replenish. A person who drains their Aura is as venerable as any other human. But Aura is replenish able, the user just needs to rest to regain it properly." Biscuit answered.

"I see… Can… can any of us use it?" Orga asked, eyes looking at his hands before moving back to the round.

"Don't think so. I'm not sure why, but ever since we discovered we can turn into Mobile Suits, none of us are able to unlock Aura. I even tried to ask Grace to unlock it for me, but in the end, her attempts didn't work." Biscuit replied, disappointment written on his face, remembering the day he couldn't get such an amazing ability if he tried.

"I see…" Like Biscuit, Orga had the same expression after hearing that before Mika spoke about a more simpler subject, "Who or… what is a faunus?"

"Well that's easy to explain; Faunus are humans with animal-like features of any animal you can guess… but…" Biscuit's explanation took a drop in enthusiasm, showing a saddened expression that didn't go unnoticed by others.

"I'm gonna go on a whim and say… they're not that easily accepted into society?" Orga asked, hitting the nail on the head.

"No, they don't have it as rough… at least when compared to Human Debris… but it won't mean things are any better." Fumitan replied, as everyone had seen what "normal" people would do to a person labeled as 'Human Debris', now ready to hear the next lines from Kudelia's former aide, "Some Faunus are sold for slavery, some put into jail for just the smallest accusation of being criminal, but the worse part of being a faunus… is how discriminated they are.

Human Debris was the first image to pop into everyone's mind, and this time, the thoughts of children becoming slaves to "normal people" have been replaced with people of all ages, being abused, being insulted, and being sacrificed like fire wood you'd through into a campfire.

"Eventually, a group of faunus couldn't take the abuse anymore, and a criminal group known as the 'White Fang' came into existence. They were originally a peaceful group that stood for faunus rights, but now they started attacking humans and other innocent people, not only making it hard for humans to live peaceful lives, but making it nearly impossible for other faunus that want to live peacefully to just... exist anywhere. Before anyone knew it, the tension between humans and faunus's rose, and now... here we are." and there, Biscuit and Fumitan's story ended.

Surprising to say, but… this 'White Fang' organization's story reminded them… of Tekkadan. The origins of both sides were very similar, and the deeds that both groups have done were never that different.

But there is one MAJOR difference, and that's racism. The fact that the White Fang did almost the exact same thing has humans have done do them was just them being racist in kind, and that's just a child's way of problem solving. Sure, it wasn't right for humans to do what they did, but that doesn't give faunus the right to… just take the lives of innocent people, or even do the same thing.

Tekkadan welcomed both Human Debris, and regular people of all cultures and races, which is reason enough why Orga, Shino, Akihiro, and even Mika (who is more annoyed) are very angry. Orga took the time to take a few deep breathes to calm himself down, before his questions about Remnant continued.

Things dragged on for at least 40 minutes, and at that point, everyone ran out of questions to ask Biscuit and Fumitan. Right after Biscuit said his last word, the other Tekkadan teens allowed all the info to sink in.

"Man... this place is crazy." Shino said with a grin on his face, showing that he had a definite interest in Remnant now.

"On a rare occasion, I agree - this world is interesting." Flauros added, less irked with his partner this time.

Everyone started whispering small words amongst each other, as Orga smiled at the sight of them chatting a dimly lit tent; old friends conversing with each other that doesn't relate to any battle. Just casual talking.

It was nice to see this again… though, Orga noticed one person that was less enthusiastic, seeing Mikazuki, who just sat next to Masahiro. However, the way his head was tilted and the look in his eyes (who weren't even on Masahiro), the posture itself gave Orga a feeling something was wrong with the ace pilot.

Walking up to the shorter teen, Orga have Mika a few taps to the shoulder, turning the latter's head to the former, "What's wrong? You don't look as good as everyone else." Orga commented, slightly grinning.

Mika turned his head away from his lifelong partner, looking up to the roof of the tent with a thoughtful gaze, "Well… if we are on a different world that's far away from Mars… then… what about our other friends… what about Atra and Kudelia…?" Mikazuki asked, the last part mentioned in a small whisper that Orga alone heard, to which the following showed a shocked face, along with the others that heard.

... Silence had completely taken over the whole tent, and everyone inside held down casted faces, thinking of all of the other family members that they have left behind by dying and then coming here.

Tension was still in the air, with nobody speaking a word, until Orga (with a smaller and more sympathetic smile) did, "I'm sure they're doing fine… we all know that everyone who is part of Tekkadan is strong, in their own way at least." Orga said, bringing the different faces of everyone a bit, as they turned their attention to their leader once more, "I mean… sure, our deaths… and some of our sudden disappearances may hit them hard at first… but in the end… they'll grow older, and eventually, even if it's not completely, they will learn to keep moving forward." Orga's smile became sad, as giving the worldly life lesson really dampened the mood now.

Still, it helped to be reminded the fact that all of Tekkadan, including Mika's two... women, had strong hearts, and in the end, they would grow up to live normal lives now.

Mika then looked to Masahiro, a smile as small as Orga's adorning his face now, "Yeah... I guess so…"

Sad and understanding smiles came upon everyone, looking at each other several times, before turning their heads to Akihiro's younger brother as well.

But… Mika still wasn't finished, "Still… I did promise Atra and Kudelia I'd help name Atra's baby after the war is over…" His eyes saddened, and everyone… had no initial reaction at first. Orga gave a firm and reassuring squeeze on Mika's shoulder, "Come on Mika, it's not like you to be this, I'm sure the girls and the baby are fi…"

For a few seconds, silence immediately fell as soon as everyone realized by what Mika said, and their bodies froze on the spot. Their eyes were blank for those few seconds, and their muscles didn't even make a twitch.

But the first to break the silence was... everyone.

"Eh?" Orga asked.

"Huh?" Biscuit asked.

"Wha-?" Fumitan asked.

"Ah-?" Akihiro asked.

"Gah-?" Shino asked.

The village was relatively silent after the Grimm raid ended and Tekkadan took refuge in it until Orga comes up with something else. The idle chatter, the sound of footsteps, and the sound of labor taking place throughout multiple parts of the village were sounds only.

"*Sigh…* this is… all a bit much to take in…" A few meters away from the tent that held Masahiro were three rookie-level Tekkadan members: one teen with messy, off-white hair. The other two were children, one with messy, orange hair. The other, somewhat spiked, dark blond hair.

Hush, Ride and Elgar (who was the only one among the Youth Corps who died during the final battle against Gjallarhorn) haven't changed at all upon arriving to Remnant, much like everyone else that lived in Earth/Mars/Space.

"I know… I mean, we've traveled between Mars and Earth a couple of times, but going onto a completely different planet that defines all the logic we know is just…" Ride explained, scratching his cheek while looking at the wrecked state the village was in, not knowing what to put in words of recent events.

"Know what you mean, man." Elgar said.

Hush sighed again before turning to the tent that's not so far from them, "Yeah, it's something that your mind has trouble accepting terms with… and this will probably be that way for a long time." Hush said, sounding a bit skeptical at the same time.

Hush, Ride and Elgar looked to the clear sky at the same time. It was now the midst of day, for it took them a bit of time to settle into the home of these villagers, and of course, trying to comprehend the situation they were in.

"Well, I guess now that we've been given a "second life", we can enjoy the time that we've got for no-"

"WWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!?"

All three youngsters, plus just about the majority of the village, flinched at the loud scream that came from the tent, and their eyes turned to the following with very shocked and afraid faces. Ride, Elgar and Hush had nearly jumped out of their pants upon the screeches ringing in their ears, and dread filled their minds as they looked to the tent where some of the most important Tekkadan members and Fumitan resided in.

"YOU… YOU HAVE A… a… you have a… a… WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?" Orga quickly stammered more than ever, and his expressions became unreadable as his thoughts delve deeper into what Mika just told them all.

Their incredulous faces and wide eyes made their disbelief all the more dramatic. And Biscuit's was among the most comical of them all.

"A-A-A-A-A-ATRA AND K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-KUDELIA?!" After Orga came the stuttering of Biscuit, and comparing to the others, Biscuit's were more uncontrollable.

Fumitan didn't stammer because she (literally!) fainted on the ground hard, thinking about her former mistress being involved with Mikazuki and Atra.

"M-M-Miss… with M-M-M-Mikazuki… and… A-A-Atra…!" Fumitan thought, comically screaming in her mind.

The noise had begun to make Masahiro stir in his sleep, turning his head and making groans when the sounds occurred as he hoped to cover his ears.

"Mika having... a baby?" Akihiro's case was somewhat different, as he tried to imagine what a baby of Mikazuki would look like.

A small thought cloud appeared next to the brawn's head, and ideas were brainstormed. A tiny body with a tuff of black or ivory colored hair on top, paired with blue or red eyes... seems likewise.

Only question is: a boy or a girl?

Amongst the incredulous faces and exclamations, one individual in particular had very different thoughts on this subject.

"Hooohohohohehehehe... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAH...! O-oh my... MIKAAAAA! OH, I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE PROUD OF YOU, EVER- HOHOHAHAHAHAHAHA-" Came the now laughing Shino, who as of now, was on the floor, pounding his fist onto the ground while holding his sides, which were beginning to hurt.

"Hmph, well, color me impressed, this boy isn't as oblivious as he lets on." Gusion commented, a small laugh and a bit of humor laced into his sentence.

"Does um… anyone else know about this?" Akihiro questioned, looking at Mikazuki with a swear drop running down his left cheek.

"Well... no. I did... well, that thing you need to do inside Barbatos." Mika's laidback expression just made the faces of his other friends all the more comical, all while Shino had begun to laugh his ass off even more.

Well, he wasn't the only one chuckling though, as a voice that no one else but Mika could hear had been doing the same.

"HmheheHAHAHAAAAAAH! Aaahhh... ho... out of all of us, I think it's a matter of fact that I have the best pilot." Barbatos commented with the utmost smugness and pride.

"Barbatos... you lucky devil…" Flauros commented, the last noun have two meanings in the context (and no pun intended!)

Mars-a few days after the Tekkadan vs. Gjallarhorn war

Back on Mars, Sakura's farm was still as lovely as ever. Crops were plentiful, the setting sun illuminated the scene, and the soft and nearly weightless greenery flew away with the wind. Everything looked as if it was set for a perfect picture, and there was only one person in the picture. A girl with ivory colored hair, and bright red eyes, wearing the brown Tekkadan jacket over a teal and hoodie white, dark blue pants and brown boots, carrying a box of something the owner of the farm asked the young girl to do.

"Ms. Atra!" A feminine and young female voice called out the girl on the fields, a person with bright blonde hair tied in a ponytail, purple eyes, and wearing a blue tailcoat/jacket, gray baggy pants and black boots.

Atra Mixta turned her head and her red eyes saw her good friend and, would-be sister-wife, Kudelia Aina Bernstein, waving to her from across the field while walking towards her.

"Ah, Ms. Kudelia!" Atra exclaimed, dropping the box she held in her arms and ran over to the purple-eyed blonde.

Both of them ran into each other and gave a quick hug, enjoying the fact that they were able to see and interact with each other once again. Their embrace was released soon, and both of their eyes met.

"It's been a few days now, and I was really worried since everyone had to separate." Kudelia said, holding up both of Atra's hands with her own, showing a relieved smile.

"Yeah, but you and I are back together now, and I'm really glad you're safe." Atra offered a similar bright smile to back at Kudelia.

Both of them turned their heads towards the cornfield, appreciating the fact that it was one of the few things that stayed the same after all these years, and after what happened.

Speaking of which, it's been a few days since the war between Tekkadan and Gjallarhorn ended. Everyone had all but evacuated the scene, and… a lot of people died.

"Did you… did you find anything?" Atra asked, the tone of her voice changed completely from happy and relieved, to sad… and desperate.

Kudelia's smile slightly dropped, looking at the ground to avoid Atra's downhearted expression. She couldn't bring herself to lie about what she found out, but at the same time, it wasn't right to lie about it. Either way, the "Maiden of Revolution" didn't want her closest friend to be sad.

So in the end, she said the truth, "No… there's no sign of Barbatos or Gusion, and all the other Mobile Suits from our side are gone. Gjallarhorn's forces immediately pulled back for what I don't know at all. Pops also told me Ride's gone missing immediately after the battle." Kudelia explained, almost regretting what she said immediately when Atra's face has obscured by her hair.

The two girls couldn't move or talk after Kudelia revealed what she knew, and their once bright and smiling faces were gone now. They couldn't understand just how Mikazuki and everyone else were just... gone, and how none of their Mobile Suits were found. But that didn't really matter, what truly mattered to them was that everyone was gone. Akihiro, Shino, Orga... Mikazuki, all of them were gone.

They left them.

... But, this also meant something else.

"That means they're alive somewhere." The sudden deep and saddening mood in Atra was gone, speaking up more confidently and optimistically, "Mikazuki is strong. He's always been able to pull through tough situations somehow, and if everyone wasn't found, then that means they're out there somewhere!"

The strength and surety in Atra's voice caught Kudelia COMPLETELY off-guard. She couldn't believe she was able to take that in and then still have a strong belief and confidence in her beliefs. Kudelia was able to pick herself up and still have hope, and she felt so proud and happy for Atra. Her hands reached out to grab one of Atra's hands, and she gave them a firm squeeze, "Yes, I feel the same. I know they will return to us, so until then, we'll wait form them."

"Let's find the rest of the gang and fill them what he hope. They may say it is false hope… but we need to have faith in our friends!" Atra explained.

"You're right, Ms. Atra. We can't lose faith in our friends." Kudelia explained.

What little does the two girls know… that they'll be seeing Mikazuki and the others far sooner than they expect.

Mistral - Naze's Apartment

"ACHOO!" A loud sneeze rang throughout the rented apartment, and the man on the couch, wearing white themed clothes, had released a loud sneeze.

"Catch a cold, darling?" The smooth voice of a mature and grown women, dressed in nothing but a white robe, called out to the man clad in white, revealing to be Naze Turbine and his wife Amida Arca, the latter, who walked over to her husband, and draped herself over him, placing her head on his shoulder.

Naze wiped his nose with a tissue he picked a few times, before looking to the side and seeing Amida's beautiful face with a smile, "No, Amida. But I think that was my brother, or possible another woman talking about me." Naze said, causing the other girls that are in the rented apartment aside from Naze and Amida to stop cuddling and look at him as Amida proceeded to wrapped her arms around the man shoulders. Amida wasn't the only women there, many other girls were all but cuddling with the grown man, hugging him and many different parts of his body. Amida a small chuckle to escape her lips, "Very funny, you naughty man." Amida commented, humorous and flirty.

"You have a brother, Naze?" One of the new girls, who was hugging his arm, asked.

The question brought a bigger smile to Naze's face, looking up to the ceiling as he thought about Orga. "Yeah, I have a younger brother somewhere out there. And let me tell you, he and the rest of his family can be quite a handful." Naze said, thinking back to the times when he was back in his old home, with Orga, Mika, and all the other boys and his wives, "He's immature sometimes, persistent, and it's hard for him to be a leader when he prioritizes his family's safety too much."

Naze thought back to the old times when Orga was still developing himself as Tekkadan's leader, when he would need to teach about the young man multiple things occasionally, when he would help him back up should he fall to the ground. But he also remember how powerful he was, he his love for his family gave him the strength to keep going, to become stronger for their sakes.

"But in the end, while he may be lacking in some areas, Tekkadan couldn't have had a better leader." Naze explained.

Lafter Frankland, who was among the girls hugging Naze, had her mind on someone else she loved in her thoughts, "I wonder how Akihiro doing."

Riding on a Bullhead to the same forest near the village Tekkadan were staying over for now was the newest team of Beacon Academy first-years training hard to become huntresses: Team RWBY!

The ever-so optimistic and cheerful team leader Ruby Rose was feeling excited, having been asked to accompany another team's mission in village security that's meant for veteran huntsmen.

"I can't believe we're actually going on a mission that even ACTUAL huntsmen take on!" Ruby hollered.

Weiss Schnee, heir to the SDC, covered her ears in irritation from Ruby's boundless energy, "We're just going to help Team NEGL deal with a horde of Grimm that attacked the village this morning." She explained, in an irritated manner.

"Yeah… but this does give us some experience on operating the level of a real huntress." Blake Belladonna, bookworm AND secretly a cat Faunus and exiled member of the White Fang, commented as she was sharpening the katana of Gambol Shroud with a whetstone.

"Blake's right! You gotta go out guns blazing… with a Yang!" Yang Xiao Long, Ruby's older half-sister and muscle of Team RWBY punned, which greatly annoyed the other three girls.

"Your puns need actual work…" Ruby, Weiss and Blake thought in unison, pinching the bridge of their noses.

A chuckle was heard, which the four girls turned their heads to four individuals: two more girls, and two boys. They appear to be different in height, weight, physique (or body figure for the two girls), facial expressions, eye, skin and hair traits, weapons, clothing, and any other distinguishing traits to each of the four individuals, but one thing that stands out the most is that around the age of 19 (or 20 in one person), these four are third years.

In fact, these four are a third-year team known as "NEGL", who said to be among the "Top 3" strongest student teams in Beacon Academy, and have unique skills that consider them to be above average huntsmen and around those of veteran class, said to have taken on top-ranked missions since their (by request) first one during their first year together. The team consists of Natasha Rivers, team leader, strategist and "calvary", Elizabeth Winfield, team speedster and martial artist, Gideon Alexander, team sharpshooter and stealth specialist, and Liam Pendragon, team heavy hitter and warrior.

"I like your spunk, guys. But remember to follow our lead so we show you how missions that professional huntsmen take." Natasha commented.

"Don't worry! We won't disappoint you!" Ruby hollered, saluting.

"Tch! This girl needs to shut up." Liam said, annoyed at Ruby.

"That's no way to treat a lady, Liam. You should learn from me!" Gideon commented in a lively, but playboy manner, irritating Liam further at the archer's womanizing ways.

"Can you boys try and behave? We have to set an example for Team RWBY." Elizabeth muttered, hearing the argument on her right ear as her left was too busy with one earpiece listening to a song the speedster downloaded on her Scroll.

A sound turned on as the speakers from the pilot called in, "Attention all passengers. We're getting ready to land at the coordinates given to us. Be advised, hostiles may be expecting us so be ready." The advice the pilot sounded got the two teams up and at it.

"Looks like we're landing earlier than expected." Blake said, finished sharpening her weapon.

Yang mashed her fists together as her weapons activated, "All right! I can't wait to pound some Grimm!", feeling excited.

Weiss sighed as she looked at her "fearless leader", eyeing the weapons of Natasha and Liam, to the latter's further irritation, and began to show a sweat drop on the back of her head "Weapons geek."

"You kids ready?" Natasha asked, putting her custom-built weapon, which is a large spear behind her back, "Because things are going to be tough from here on."

"Right!" Team RWBY hollered in unison, with Ruby taking the lead of her speech with bravery, "Let's do our best!"

The Bullhead landed as the two teams immediately got out and ran towards the village, with little did they know some Grimm that weren't involved with Tekkadan's battle, were already waiting to pounce.

Added Fumitan and Elgar since they're weren't there in "Iron-Blooded Remnant", and got to see Atra, Kudelia, Naze and his harem. Wondering if you want to see the rest of the living Tekkadan members in hiding? McGillis and his faction? Gaelio? The Arianrhod fleet? You'll see them VERY soon as the story progresses forward!

Also, Team RWBY makes a new appearance alongside a new team of students (my OC team for this story), third years with experience equal to that of Pro Huntsmen assigned to a tough mission! When the Tekkadan members in Remnant and Team RWBY meet, will it be good or bad? But you'll find out next chapter!
