HAHAHA HELLO MY WONDERFUL READERS! BET YOU WEREN"T EXPECTING ANOTHER UPDATE FOR THIS STORY SO SOON! Anyways it's Jeremy Scout here following up with yet another chapter of Remnant's Panzers. Figured I'd keep it going since last chapter was so short. Plus Helljumpers in Remnant is gonna be extra long so It'll be a while before that finishes getting made. In the meantime enjoy this story!

Chapter 2: Beacon Tower

"It's like a heliograph." Erwin said.

"Or the beacon system used in the Byzantine Empire." Saemonza put in.

"More like the fire beacons used by the high court in Jerusalem." Oryou said.

"No, can't you guys tell it's like the Colossus of Rhodes." Caesar told them.

"Yes that's it." The other three history buffs said in unison as they all nodded.

"Hey Saori? Think you can help me set up the EMR-36 again? I wanna see how far that tower is." Yukari asked her teammate. "Sure thing. Give me a second to get up there." Was her reply. As Saori made her way over to Yukari Miho had a meeting with the commanders on top of the StuG. Caesar and Erwin were there as they shared command of Hippo Team.

Anzu was eating chips... again. No one knew where she kept getting those bags but they never questioned it. Satoko just sat down as the rest of her club checked on the Tiger's engine to make sure it wouldn't act up. Erwin and Caesar were just looking at the tower off in the distance as Miho started the meeting.

"Alright is everyone listening?" Miho asked. The leaders all nodded. "Ok so right now our plan is to get over to that tower. How's the Porsche Tiger been doing, Satoko?" "Good so far. Hasn't had any problems. Sorry for slowing you guys down though. We can only move 5.5 MPH in this terrain." Said Satoko. "It's fine. You guys are our shield and one of our heavy hitters. So you pull your own weight." said Miho to reassure her teammate. "Thanks commander." was the girls reply as she smiled.

"Nishizumi-dono the tower is about 3 thousand meters away from our current position. If we continure our current pace we can get there in about 13-15 minutes." Came Yukari's voice over from the Panzer IV. "Ok thank you Yukari." Miho thanked her loader. "Alright, so let's try and keep the formation the same. Now then everyone, let's get back in and continue our trip." With the meeting adjourned each tanks commander went to their respective tanks as their crew got ready.

"Saori do you think you could wake Mako up?" asked Miho. "Already on it, Miporin." Saori said with a playful grin as she kicked Mako in the shoulder. "What's going on? I'm sleeping leave me alone." Mako mumbled . Saori repeated the kick albeit slightly harder and Mako woke up this time. "Fine. I'm up. Don't kick me again" The girl mumbled as she put the into first gear

Angler Team just giggled and smirked at the whole situation. They'd settle in for the short drive they had ahead of them. Yukari and Hana just leaned out their side hatches as Miho just looked ahead from the commanders capola. Mako and Saori's head were just peeking over the tip of their hatches. Once in formation Leopon lead the way yet again, crushing the occasional tree if their Tiger didn't fit. Anzu was lying back in her seat still munching on chips while Yuzu drove and Momo looked around the through the viewports. Erwin was sitting on the edge of her hatch sporting her usual cocky smirk and hat complete with goggles on the visor of it with her field jacket on. Caesar was laying back with her hands behind her head and Saemonza was in a similar position with her left eye closed as usual. Oryou just drove on with her usual grin as she looked through her foward scope.

Little did the Oarai girls know they were being watched by two different sets of eyes. One was looking at their journey from his office on a tablet and the other pair was glowing red.

Beacon Tower, Ozpins office

"Glynda?" Said a calm, warm voice from his chair with a cane leaning against his desk. "Yes headmaster?" came a voice that belonged to a blonde women standing off to the side. "Could you arrange for both teams RWBY and JNPR to greet our visitors? I get the feeling they could be of great use to us to fight Her..." The headmaster told his assistant. "But Headmaster, they are nothin more than children! We don't even know if they're capable!" Glynd responded. "Glynda please do it. I know what I'm saying." He replied calmly. "Of course Headmaster Ozpin." Glynda answered with a dejected sigh before announcing across the school, "Could Teams RWBY and JNPR please report to Headmaster Ozpins office."

After a few minutes of waiting the two teams were assembled before Professor Ozpin. "What did you call us here for Oz?" Yang said casually. "It's Headmaster to you Ms. Xiao Long." Glynda scolded the blonde brawler. "Glynda please, it's okay. As for the answer to your question Long, well I've called both 's and 's team here because we have visitors. I want you eight to greet them kindly. But take your weapons just in case." Ozpin informed the teams.

"Uhh Professor Ozpin? I have a question." "What is it ." " How will we know when we see these visitors your talking about?" Jaune asked. Ozpin simply smirked at the question and said "You'll know when you see them . They're in some, oh how do I put this, 'unique' vehicles. They're in four different vehicles. That is all. Now hurry to the edge of the Emerald Forest closest to here. They'll be arriving in a few minutes. And it seems they'll be bringing some unwanted guests with them so help our guests take care of them." With that said Ozpin unclasped his hands and spun his chair around to look out his window.

"Wait! You didn't tell us what they're in! You're playing the pronoun game! Please tell us wha- woahhh!" Jaune was cut off by Nora grabbing him and hoisting him over her shoulder in a firemans carry. "C'mon Jaune Jaune let's go make some new friends!" Nora said with a grin as she walked into the cramped elevator with both teams as Jaune let out a defeated sigh. "Nora please don't break them like you do with almost all of our other friends." Ren asked. "Awww but Renny that's the fun part!" Nora said with an excited grin. Ren, just like Jaune, let out a defeated sigh.

"Ugh Ruby your stepping on my foot." "Sorry!" "Yang don't get so close to me!" "What do you want me to do? This damned elevator is cramped as hell!" "Nora put me down please." "Ok, fearless leader." She said as she dropped him. "Owww..." Jaune said. As he was about to get back up the eletaor doors slid open and Jaune just groaned knowing what was about to happen. The 7 members that were standing up all just stepped on Jaune as they got out of the elevator. "Sorry Jaune!" "Look out lady killer. If your gonna be nice enough to let gals step on you, you'll be attracting all the girls." "Woops sorry about that, fearless leader." "owwww..." Jaune said as he continued to get trampled by his friends. "Sorry Jaune! Here let me help you up." Pyrrha told them a she pulled her leader to his feet.

After Jaune had dusted himself and gotten up with Pyrrha's help Ruby said"Alright people let's go meet these visitors professor Ozpin was talking about! To Emerald forest!" all the while while pointing her finger in the air. And with that, teams RWBY and JNPR were on their way to meet the Oarai group.

Emerald Forest

The Grimm had been following this group and their odd vehicles since they left the clearing. The group numbered around 100 in total and were lead by an Ursa Major. it was a mixed group of Ursa Minor, and a few Alpha Beowolves well as other Beowolves. They had a few more Ursa Major's as well. This particular group had evaded Huntsmen and Huntresses by being relatively new and hiding in caves. Right now though they could sense one person who was extremely nervous and worried while the others seemed surprised.

'I'm scared something bad is going to happen to Grandmother while we look for the ship. The fact that we've been reported missing on the carrier has probably made her nervous too. I hope we find the ship fast. I need to make sure Grandma is ok. She can't be stressed out about me at her age' Mako thought.

She always put up a calm, tired, and even lazy exterior but inside she was always worried for her grandmother. Especially now that they weren't on the carrier. She could only hope that once they got to the tower they could somehow meet up with the carrier.

Miho got the feeling again. The feeling they were being watched and followed from afar. She'd gotten it before. It was a sixth sense for her. She'd get the feeling and turn around and often see an enemy tank following. This time however the feeling was... different to say the least. It wasn't like she was just being watched but something more. It felt darker than usual. She couldn't explain it as she had never felt this kind of intent from someone.

"Commander? What's wrong?" Erwin asked over the radio. Miho had unconsciously been looking around and Erwin had noticed it. "I feel like we're being watched. Satoko, Anzu, and Erwin, look around for anything odd." Miho ordered. "Roger." Erwin replied. "Ok Nishizumi-chan." Anzu said. "On it." Satoko said. As they said this each commander, aside from Erwin who was already out, popped out of their hatches and began scanning the area.

It didn't take long for them to see multiple pairs of red eyes to their 4'o clock. "Ok. All tanks halt advancing. Turn to the 4'o clock position. Hold fire for now. Use your MG's only. Don't use your main gun. Make sure the loaders have the belts on standby." Miho commanded. All tanks turned their hulls and turret to face the eyes. "Caesar, switch seats with Saemonza and get the MG-34 mounted. Have the 2 other belts on standby once you've loaded the first." Erwin told her loader and gunner.

The Grimm knew they'd been spotted. But that didn't bother them. Nothing did. They didn't exactly think about anything aside from hunting their prey. Being the brainless creatures they are, they charged straight into the line of fire of seven MG's. But they got lucky.

The Oarai girls had never seen anything quite like the Grimm. They were used to being shot at by tanks but said tanks weren't trying to kill them. Once the Grimm began their charge the Oarai girls could feel the murderous intent they gave off. It scared them and made them stutter. Saemonza opened her left eye for once as she gasped just like the rest of the girls.

The girls had been caught off guard and that gave the Grimm some more time to get closer to the girls without being cut down. After a couple seconds the girl's had all closed their hatches looked through their foward scopes, and either opened up with their machine guns or if they didn't have one just look through a viewport and watch as they got rushed. Saemonza was the first to overcome her shock and open fire with her MG-34 firing in bursts. Saori just sat there wide eyed as she held her MG-34. There was a look of shock on her face and she couldn't move. However hearing Hana open fire with her machine gun in the turret brought her back as she fired in burst at the horde. Turtle and Leopon were firing in burst just like everyone else.

Tracer bullets lanced through the air towards their targets. Yukari even peeked out her hatch and threw a Stielhandgranate into the horde killing a few. Although plenty of Grimm fell, more just came in and replaced. It was too dangerous to hold position. They'd began shooting at the horde too late to stop the advance. "All teams retreat now! Head towards the tower!" Miho ordered her teammates. With that said every driver shifted into first and floored it trying their best to outrun the group. They had to keep pace with the Tiger Porsche though otherwise they'd get overwhelmed. "WHAT ARE THESE THINGS!?" Saemonza yelled as she took her MG off the mount and turned around to begin firing again. "I DON'T KNOW BUT WHATEVER THEY ARE THEY'RE SCARY!" Caesar screamed back.

"WERE SORRY WE"RE SLOWING YOU GUYS DOWN! I know you said we pull our weight commander, but right now our slow speed is holding you guys back." Came Satoko's voice over the radio. "It's fine. We can get out of this. We beat the Maus and saved our school twice. We can survive this." Miho told the Tiger's commander.

Erwin had lost her cocky smile and had a serious face now. "Oryou?" Erwin said over the radio. "Yes?" Oryou replied. "Do the Napoli Turn." "WHY?! If we did it now we'd lose a lot of speed and last time we did it, it didn't work!" Oryou yelled back in shock. "Just do it. Saemonza put the MG back in it's mount. Go to your gunner seat." Saemonza did as she was asked. Erwin moved into the MG position as Caesar moved out of the way. "Oryou on the count of 3 do it." Erwin ordered. "Ok." Oryou said worried. "One." Oryous hands tightened on the controls. "Two." Oryou breathed in deeply. "Three." Immedietly Oryou pulled on the handbrake and turned the tank to it's left. The tank responded and snapped to the left as Oryou put it in reverse instantly after the turn was executed.

Erwin pulled the trigger firing into the horde as the 7.5 centimeter main gun discharged it's round. The sound echoed throughout the air tearing into the horde of Grimm before exploding into shrapnel taking out multiple Grimm. Once Oryou heard the shell getting fired she pulled on the handbrake and snapped the tank around again shifting it out of reverse. Once done she floored it to catch up with her team as fast as the tank could. Erwin switched back to the commanders capola and watched as the Grimm slowly caught up with the column. Saemonza had already dismounted the gun and begun shooting the horde again.

"Hippo Team, this is Angler. Are you guy's alright?" Miho asked over the radio. "Yes commander, we are just fine. However we're running out of ammo and these beasts are catching up." Erwin replied. What Erwin didn't know is that the sound of her tanks 7.5 firing had been heard by 2 teams of huntsmen and huntresses in training. "Caesar hand me the last belt!" Saemonza yelled as her teammate gave her the belt and Saemonza loaded before firing again.

However just before she could begin shooting again, one of the Grimm chasing them fell down. She saw a slight vapor trail but before she could trace it, someone landed on the StuG's roof between her and Erwin. The girl looked to be only 15 and yet there she was wielding a giant scythe having somehow jumped onto a moving tank and landed on it with such precision. she had black combat boots, and a black and red skirt along with a red cape. Her hair was mainly black with red highlights, and she had silver eyes.

AND THAT"S ANOTHER CHAPTER DONE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! I know I said they'd meet the RWBY cast this chapter and technically they did. Haha don't worry they'll get aquianted with each other properly. They'll get auras but it'll be a tad weak. Enough to where they can handle some damage but it won't be a lot of damage. They'll get boosts in strength, speed, and reflexes as well because that's what aura does. The tanks will all get engine and armor upgrade. Also the history club know a ton of history outside of their main subjects, they're just experts on that particular subject. So they all associated Beacon tower with something outside their favorite time period. I need to get well versed with the Bakumatsu period and Sengoku period for Oryou and Saemonza respectively. Also the Colossus of Rhodes has plans to be rebuilt much taller than it was originally and it will be used as a lighthouse so I used it in comparison with Beacon tower which is a sort of gateway to Vale much like the Colossus was at the entrance to the harbor. Anyways thats all and this is Jeremy 'Scout' signing off.
