The antler shattered as the bullet torn into the exposed bone as blood spurted on Summer, prompting the antler man to shriek in pain as his companion forced in the house as several other tracer rounds narrowly missed both of them. Qrow grabbed Summer, yank her out of the way and slam the door shut behind the tailed duo.

"You guys were being followed?!" he yell as a bullet whizzed past his head, forcing him to move the nearby cabinet in front of the door as loud banging follow. Instinctively I dove behind the couch, confused of who these hostile's were and why they are attacking two civilians without reason. I went to grab my pistol from its holster, only to find a empty pocket in a pair of unfamiliar pants, 'Undoubtedly Qrow's.' I thought. The door cracked as the assailant continuously, without restraint, destroyed the door with the cabinet became the last line of defense.

A childish scream came from upstairs and I recognized that it was Ruby's. But I without my weapons there was little I could if Ruby was being attacked. Leaping in a crouched run, I ran to a crouched Summer by a turned over table riddled with bullet holes, nudging I questioned "Where did you put my equipment?".

"What!" she asked as one of the attackers entered through a shattered window, us failing to notice over the sounds of bullets and screams from the antler man.

"Where. Did. You. Put. My-!"

Something else ended my sentence.

The intruder fired a bullet that reflected off of my armor as Summer suddenly discovered its presence. However, this wasn't a human that fired said shot, instead a kind of android with a weird looking rifle. The android didn't hesitant to fire again after it register that the previous shot had no effect on me, however before I could avoid the second incoming bullet, there was a flash of red, rose petals flying past my face. The brunette pushed the android against the wall in an attempt to deactivate its hard drive, making it drop the rifle and bounced near me.

Moving from cover I grab the gun, trying to get a steady grip on the awkward design of it. The rifle seems to value stylish, over-complicated features instead of practical mechanics or even a normal pistol grip. It was a trigger that immediately become attached to a small valve connected to the bulky stock. Even with this complication I manage to line the iron sight at the android, as it started to gain the upper-hand, braking Summer's grip. Qrow was struggling to keep the door from breaking down, the antler man was being tended to by the other man.

Switching the rifle from semi-auto to burst fire I aimed at the droid.

A trail of tracer rounds spilled from the barrel toward the attacker, the force of the bullets penetrated the head. The droid deactivated instantly.

Before I could ask if she was okay, another scream was heard from upstairs. Both me and Summer must have had the same thought as we both heard her.

"Go save your kid, I'll help Qrow.", telling her before running toward the front door as Qrow was now fighting two droids in CQC, of course he was failing miserably, his moves did more harm as he left himself vulnerable. I ran toward him, believing that this is a way to repay the kind couple who saved me from the bitter cold or from a pack of hungry Grimm.

Ruby POV

Lightning use to always scare me, now there are sounds that are constantly starting to sound like lightning. When I first saw the two adults running toward the house I just thought they were some of my parent's friends. But then there were a lot of AK-120's- I only knew them because of the action figures I have of them- running and shooting their guns at the men running at our house. I scream as one of them noticed me and fired at my room window, ducking underneath my desk.

Minutes felt like hours as I hid under the bed to avoid the dust cartridges passing through the wall and, the now shattered, window. Tears fell from my eyes from the sheer terror of the situation, I cried out for Mom and Dad only to be drowned out from the consistent rattling of the guns and our front door being smashed down as one of the AK-120's ran full speed to the front.

Shout's can be heard downstairs with another window shattered from what I could hear, but I refuse to move from under the bed, for fear of being shot, however, I decided to do so anyway.

"A huntress will always put the lives of others before themselves.", Mom would always say after training, Dad will follow with, "Ya know, you have silver eyes", vaguely without further explaining why my eyes are so special and make me think it's a form of kindness. I thought of these memories and remember that Mom put her weapon just across the hall, with it I could save my parents and their friends...including that mysterious stranger...become the hero.

But I couldn't dwell on my thoughts as another hail of bullets came, going through the wall and my room. Using semblance I made a mad run to my parents room, every step I took a bullet came close to hitting me and me dodging them by the skin of my teeth. Rose petals flutter behind me as they gently touch the floor. Now in my parent's room I went to grab mom's weapon; Crystal Petal, a long-sword fitted with a extendable staff inside of it to turn into a spear along with a dust chamber to augment the power of the blade. Crystal Petal may be twice my size in spear form, but in sword form I can carry it- kinda.

Before I could grab Crystal Petal I saw from the corner of my eye one of AK-120's entering my room. Fear found its way into my head as I screamed, before covering my mouth in order to hush my anguish, however, the robot heard my scream and began scanning the room I'm in. Rushing I hid in my parents closet, slamming the door shut, shifting between mom's dresses. Just as the closet door closed, the robot arrived in the room and began scanning again. I held my breath. Glancing around the closet I spied dad's Harbinger located to the right side of the door. Harbinger was far too heavy for me to wield effectively, wielding the weapon as a scythe or sword is out of the question- might actually almost kill me like last time- but the shotgun, while knocking me out, could destroy the intruder.

However I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't realize the robot is bashing against the fragile door.

"Ruby!"

Alexander POV

Five Minutes Earlier

"Go save your kid, I'll help Qrow.", telling her before running toward the front door as Qrow was now fighting two droids in CQC, of course he was failing miserably, his moves did more harm as he left himself vulnerable. I ran toward him, throwing the rifle at the droid's head trapping Qrow in a choke-hold, the impact from the rifle jerked the robot, it gave me time to leap forward. Pulling out my knife I dug the blade into its forehead and deactivated the robot. The black-hair man- recovering his breath- manage to throw another robot to the ground, slamming his feet into the neck severing the connection between the head and body and caused a malfunction. 'Two down, five to go' my scanner saw the locations of these bots as it showed a battle simulation that'' guarantee a win.

The robots saw its deceased comrades and began firing at me and Qrow, however, all the bullets went astray and nowhere near hitting me as the system predicted. Smirking I rush forward...only to trip on a chair leg. I fell face first on the table in front of me that I plan to use as a makeshift shield in order to crush all the droids, including the fact my HUD began to static.

"Shit!" I yelled as I struggle to get up from my unknown clumsiness only to be met by another barrage of bullets, luckily the shield-system reactivated and reflected the bullets. The impact from the shots was almost nonexistent as they disintegrate from the energy shield. Ducking behind the turned over table that nailed my face I then collect the chair leg with my remaining hand and ran towards the droids.

I clubbed the the front droid, simultaneously stabbing the one on my left and slash the knife out and into the one I just clubbed. Swiftly taking both of them out I threw the knife at one that reloaded and took aim at me, the blade was thrown in its right eye taking it out instantly.

Qrow looked at me dumbfounded at the wounded person that he and Summer took in, probably believing that I was helpless and not use to combat like this, unknowingly that I once took on an entire Chinese battalion of mechanized infantry supported with aircraft. That story ended with me flying away in a captured helicopter leaving the oncoming attack in a blood-soaked river and smoking vehicles with a quickly spray-painted "SUCK MY DICK" with said spray-painted dick on a Type 99-A32 with one of the crew jaw removed and pointed at the head.

Another swing destroyed the remaining droid as I smashed the chair leg so hard that it was stuck in the visor of the destroyed droid. My lungs wheezed for more air with exhaustion coursing through my body as I deactivated my adrenaline and-

"Ruby!" Someone yelled upstairs, but due to my exhausted state I passed out on the floor, sharing it with the wreckage.

"I managed to throw the AK-120 out of the window, my speed should have destroyed its head. Other than that I think all of the robots are destroyed." Summer said as she placed a sleeping Ruby on the clean part of the couch. I woke up a few minutes ago with Qrow shaking me awake, my first view was his face and then Summer tending to Antler man on the chair. His antler had been completely shattered with a white paste covering the wound, prevent any blood from spurting out.

When I recovered enough I press the four compatriots with multiple questions about what the hell just happened.

"Who the fuck were those guys? Why were they shooting at you and that guy over there?" I said pointing at Antler man, "Also where the fuck are my weapons?"

Qrow glanced with Summer who turned to me and back to her husband, giving him a slight nod before going to the kitchen. He grab a broken chair and placed it front of me as he went to sit down. I adjusted my composure in order to look more professional and to ease my chest wound. "I told you where am from, I think it's time for you to explain what is going on here."

The brunette returned with a tray of cookies, three mugs and a flask filled with- what I'm assuming- liquor- more specifically whiskey. Raising an eyebrow I look at her with a face that reads, Really? Cookies?.

"What? I like cookies."

"Yeah...you might wanna redefine your definition of 'like'."

"Okay okay", Qrow answered before this became an all out cookie war, "What just attacked us were droids-"

"Obviously."

"Hey you wanted answers, am giving you them. The droids are from Atlas patrolling the coast of Patch, they must have caught wind of the underground railroad."

"Railroad? There's resistance here?"

"Yes-", swing from his flask, "and no, they're trying to sabotage Atlesian conveys to Delaric, now under Atlas control and turned into a massive concentration camp."

"Also the underground railroad is trying to convince the council and Ozpin to send an formal declaration of war on Atlas. But people are afraid leading to more attacks from the creatures of Grimm, prompting the council to instead defend the borders from the growing hordes of Grimm." Summer added before eating her third cookie.

'Grimm..Atlas...Ozpin...', all of these lead to more questions as I paid attention to the information provide by the couple, the man and the faunus for a good hour or two. At the end of this rushed history lesson of Remnant, I decided to ask a clarification statement.

"So let me get this straight; This planet-called Remnant- is home to two races; Humans and Faunus, the latter of which looks exactly like humans with more animalistic traits, both physically and mentally. There use to be four kingdoms and now only Vale and Atlas remain in a cold war. Atlas was replaced by a militaristic, jingoistic, totalitarian regime under a man named James Ironwood, former general and councilman of the Atlesian council, now rules as Supreme Leader of the Atlas Empire. They started building camps to enslave undesirables, mainly Faunus, political rivals, 'reeducate' prisoners, homosexuals, trans, and people that don't live up to their standards. Not to mention the fact that Atlas conquered Vacuo, forcing Vale to stay on the sidelines and merged Mistral as a protectorate.

Not only that but there are creatures that are called the Grimm that seek to destroy everything that humanity ever created and are attracted to negative emotions, of which started the Great War that occurred 69 years ago. In order to combat these creatures there a academies that train huntsmen and huntresses to fight these Grimm, however, they don't a have a specific allegiance to any of these kingdoms and can stay in teams or go in solo. And you two came from Beacon Academy and later joined 'The Resistance', but instead of just moving people to Menagerie or Vale, both of you engage in guerrilla warfare against Atlas patrols and liberate Faunus slaves. Am I wrong in any of this?"

"Yes... you forgot the part where the moon is shattered" Qrow said after a few moments of silence.

"Alright, am going to keep this to the point and I need you two to listen."

Both Summer and Qrow kept their gazes at me, albeit Summer leaned a little bit forward from her spot on the couch. Placing my mug on the coffee table that managed to survive the attack from earlier I continued, "How can I help the Resistance?"

A/N: Yeah that part where Alex joins the Resistance was kinda rushed, but I wanted to not go over the sappy stuff of honor and repaying debts, instead I'm pretty sure that most people IRL would join a movement such as this once they heard it.

Other than that this is what I wanted to address.
