You asked for it, you got it! Here's chapter 2!

Review Time!

Big Smoke: An excellent question! That will be revealed in future chapters and believe me, the answer will blow you away!

37: Honestly, I was going to include Duke instead of Grayson but since most of the cast are teens, it would be kinda uncomfortable. Also, if you played the game, you should already know the answer to that.

Guest #1: RWBY has been one of the greatest viewing experiences of my life! Can't say the same for Red versus Blue, probably because I'm not a Halo guy. Don't worry; it won't slow down my other story.

RWBY and Bulletstorm belong to their respective owners. I do not own either of them.

Chapter 2

Bad Times

BEACON ACADEMY-OZPIN'S OFFICE

Sitting himself down in his chair, the Headmaster of Beacon Academy looked out to his window. It was a beautiful, sunny day in Vale and the streets were buzzing with activity. Ozpin took a sip of his coffee and sighed in content. It was nice to have some time to relaxing after so many new developments.

Looking up to the sky, he saw the numerous Atlesian Airships patrolling the city as well as the colosseum. Ozpin shook his head, slightly annoyed at how much bravado General James Ironwood was showing off with his fleet. A part of him began to think that Ironwood was "overcompensating" for something.

Wssssssssshhhhhh

Ozpin stopped drinking his coffee. Turning his head to the source of the noise he had just heard, he stepped out onto the balcony to investigate-

VVVVWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH

A flaming ship suddenly roared past the right side of Beacon Tower, almost giving the Headmaster a heart attack! The ship barley missed an Atlesian Airship, made a sharp left over Vale and rocketed into the distance before finally crash landing into the deeper parts of the Emerald Forest.

Shaking off the initial shock, Ozpin hurried over to his desk to contact General Ironwood while also taking note that the ship was not of any model seen in The Four Kingdoms…

BEACON ACADEMY-FAIRGROUNDS

Team RWBY stood were they were completely slack-jawed. Earlier, they were on their way to the airport to catch an airship so they could go see Team JNPR's match at the Amity Coliseum when they and everyone else saw an airship covered in flames swoop in out of nowhere and crash somewhere into the woods far away.

"Where the hell did that come from?!" Yang asked, bewildered.

"Was that one of the Atlas airships?" Ruby wondered.

"No…it looked like a completely different model!" Weiss confirmed.

"There must have been some kind of onboard explosion!" Blake exclaimed.

"Guys! Did you just see that?!" They heard Nora Valkyrie yell. She and the rest of Team JNPR ran over to them, having seen the ship as well.

"We were on our way to the colosseum when we saw that ship almost crash into Beacon Tower!" Pyrrha explained.

Lie Ren looked to the column of smoke rising into the sky far away in the distance. "Judging from the ship's trajectory, I'd say that it must have landed somewhere in the Emerald Forest."

"Do you guys think there were people on board?" Jaune Arc worriedly asked. "We should probably go help them!"

"We can't just go running off on our own. We have to at least wait until we receive permission from the academy." Blake reminded them.

"Why not do it now? It's never stopped us before." Yang said.

"I think Blake is right. Something about this feels…off. We shouldn't just give in to our impulses, we have to act like professional Hunters/Huntresses and wait for orders." Weiss advised.

"But there could be people on that ship!" Pyrrha pointed out. "We should be helping them as fast as we-"

"Look! A shooting star!" Nora suddenly interrupted while pointing at the sky. A small streak of light soared through the sky for everyone to see.

"I SAW IT FIRST! I GET TO MAKE A WISH!" Nora said excitedly as she jumped up and down. Pyrrha raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?"

"In the middle of the day? How is that possible?" Jaune asked.

"There's another one! I get a wish too!" Ruby shouted as she pointed to the sky. Another light fell from the sky followed by another one. And another one. Soon dozens of falling lights rained from the sky and down into the Emerald Forest! Everyone stared at the mesmerizing sight.

"Wow…that's a lot of shooting stars!" Ruby gasped.

"I've never seen so many!" Yang said.

But Blake, Weiss, Jaune, Pyrrha and Ren felt very uneasy about what they were seeing. There was no way this was a natural occurrence. Something was very wrong.

"I don't think those are shooting stars." Ren said, a hint of discomfort of voice.

VALE-AIRPORT

Mercury, Emerald and dozens of other people watched the falling lights plummet to the sky from within the airport terminal. An announcement was heard over the intercom. "Due to an emergency, all flights have been canceled and today's Vytal matches have been temporarily postponed. We apologize for this inconvenience."

As they heard numerous civilians voicing their disappointment, Mercury and Emerald glanced at each other.

"I think we should report back to Cinder." Mercury whispered to Emerald.

"That's probably a good idea." She agreed as the both of them exited the terminal.

BEACON ACADEMY-OZPIN'S OFFICE

"Ozpin, you have to at least let me send troops over there!"

"I need to assure the people that Vale can handle this situation, not Atlas."

"But we don't even know what the hell is happening!"

"Neither do I but we can't jump to conclusions and needlessly rush this. This needs to handled quietly, efficiently, and without panic."

"But-"

"James. All I'm asking is that you trust me."

"…Very well. I'll see if I can quiet things down on my end."

Ironwood's face disappeared from the holographic window projected from Ozpin's desk. The Headmaster turned to his window and saw the large trail of smoke that emanated from the Emerald Forest as well as the falling lights. Glynda Goodwitch stood beside his desk watching the sight as well.

"Where do you think that ship came from? What those lights are?" She wondered.

"I am unsure myself. Hopefully we can find out soon. Are there any Teams out there that are near the crash site?" Ozpin inquired. Glynda got out her scroll and tapped a few buttons. She then handed it over to Ozpin.

He looked at the screen and smiled. "Why am I not surprised?" Ozpin chuckled.

BEACON ACADEMY-FAIRGROUNDS

Everyone continued to gaze at the shower of "stars" until they all heard their scrolls ringing. They all got them out and saw a message that was addressed to all of them. What was most surprising was that it was sent straight from Ozpin!

Team RWBY and Team JNPR, you are to investigate the ship that landed in the Emerald Forest. Your mission is to ascertain the origins of the ship and rescue anyone that was onboard. A Bullhead will transport you there shortly.

Best of luck, Ozpin

"Thank goodness!" Pyrrha sighed in relief. "There might still be time to help the survivors."

"Looks like this day just got interesting!" Yang eagerly said as she pounded her fists together.

"I was kinda looking forward to the next match but I don't mind this one bit!" Ruby agreed as she pressed a button on her scroll, summoning her locker. Everyone else did the same and soon enough, 8 lockers descended from the sky and landed near them. They popped open revealing each team member's respective weapon. After gearing up, a Bullhead arrived shortly after and touched down in front of them. The side compartment opened up and they heard the pilot's voice call out to them.

"Hop in! I'll give you a ride!"

Team RWBY and Team JNPR hopped on board and the Bullhead headed off in the direction of the Emerald Forest. Most of them were excited for this change in events while some of them were curious as to where that ship and the falling lights came from…

EMERALD FOREST-CRASH SITE

The only thing Grayson Hunt could see was white blanketing his vision. It was completely silent yet somewhat serene. Is this what the afterlife was like? Because if it was, then it was pretty damn boring.

"Gray!"

He heard someone calling out to him that sounded strangely familiar. His vision started to clear up and he found himself staring up at Rell's scruffy face.

"Wake the fuck up, boss! We got bad times!" Rell hollered.

Grayson groggily got himself up, shaking off the dizziness and getting a better look at his surroundings. The main deck looked like a warzone: everything was smashed to bits, damaged wires hung from the ceiling, fire cropped up in some places and the front windows were smashed. He struggled to follow Rell when he noticed a flaming, spherical object outside the window crash land near their position.

"Did you just see that? That was an escape pod from the Ulysses!" Grayson identified.

"That doesn't matter! Ishi's dying, man! He's all fucked up!" Rell urgently told him.

"Will you two pull your heads out of your asses and get over here?!" Oliver shouted from the back. Grayson and Rell quickly hurried over to the back of the room where they stopped dead in their tracks. Laying before them, with Oliver checking for a pulse, was the horribly mangled form of Ishi Sato. The entire left half of his body was covered in horrific 3rd degree burns and shards of shrapnel were jutting out of his wounds. Half his face was barely recognizable. A large pool of blood was forming around his body while his left arm and left leg were literally hanging on by strands of sinew and exposed muscle.

"Dear god…" Grayson muttered as he began running his hands through his hair. His heartbeat began to accelerate and his legs shook. This was all of his fault. Ishi was right: there was no way they could take on the flagship of the Confederation but he ignored him and attacked it on his own impulses, all while completely drunk.

Now his best friend was lying on his back, completely soaked in blood…Ishi didn't deserve this. He was brought out of his thoughts when he felt Oliver shake him back to reality.

"Snap out of it, Gray! Ishi is still alive but I don't know for how long! We gotta get him to the infirmary, now!" Oliver informed. Rell carefully picked Ishi up and slung him over his shoulder.

"Doc, is he gonna-"

"Just hurry!"

ABOVE THE EMERAD FOREST

"This is about as close as I can get you kids. Radar is picking up a lot of Grimm activity and I don't want to be on the menu. I'll set you all down here." The pilot informed as the Bullhead began its descent.

"Fine with us! We'll take it from here!" Yang replied. The bullhead lowered itself near an open patch within the dense forest and the students jumped out of the Bullhead and the students hopped off the ship. Once they had all departed, the Bullhead ascended into the air and left for Beacon.

Looking around, the teams saw that most of the trees had been sliced apart or splintered while numerous craters dotted the ground. "Woah… did those stars really do this?" Ruby wondered aloud.

"Thank goodness we weren't here at the height of it. We would've been ripped to pieces!" Jaune pointed out. The number of falling lights had decreased on their way to the Emerald Forest so it was now safe to explore.

Weiss, Blake, Pyrrha and Ren edged closer to one of the craters to see what had fallen. The smoke had started to clear and they could see a large piece of twisted metal in the center of the crater.

"It looks like debris from the ship…"Blake mused.

Pyrrha used her Semblance to levitate the metal out of the crater. "At least we know what those so-called 'shooting stars' really are. I'm surprised most of it came from that ship we saw."

"Aww…I'm not gonna get my wish." Nora moaned.

"I don't think all of this came from just one ship. There's still debris falling from the sky so it can only mean that there's something else up there." Ren deduced.

"The bigger question is what exactly is it?" Blake questioned. "If there's still more debris then it must be an airship of immense size."

Weiss picked up the metal and carefully inspected it. "It's not any metal I've ever seen…maybe this is a new type of metal or something artificially crated. Either way, this isn't like any I've ever seen before."

"You guys don't think were being invaded by aliens, do you?" Ruby asked everyone. They all looked at her. "What? It could totally happen!"

"She's got a point!" Nora agreed. "There are a dozen unsolved mysteries of the universe-"

"Don't encourage her." Yang interrupted.

"The way I see it, we'll probably get our answers when we investigate that ship." Jaune advised as he pointed to the trail of smoke in the sky. "I think we should all get moving if we want to find anyone who survived."

Taking his advice, everyone headed over to the location of ship as fast as they could.

GRAYSON'S SHIP-MEDICAL BAY

Rell gently placed Ishi on the stretcher, which was basically a large slab of metal jutting up from the middle of the floor. Various holographic readings appeared under Ishi while monitors descended from the ceiling to scan his vitals and monitored his heartbeat. So far it didn't look good for him. Oliver feverishly worked at his console next to the stretcher, desperately trying to find a way to help Ishi. Another explosion shook the vessel as sparks flew about room.

"We need to be getting the hell off this ship!" Rell urgently advised.

"We're not leaving Ishi! Not if there any way we can save him!" Grayson barked.

"Okay, okay! If Doc thinks we can do somethin'." Rell guessed.

"I need you to help him, Doc." Grayson pleaded. "All of those cyber patch jobs you did on the field, there must be-"

"I can replace fingers and limbs but-Jesus Christ, look at him! Half his body is crushed!" Oliver shouted as he pointed to Ishi's mutilated body.

"At least try! He'd do it for any one of us." Grayson ordered.

"Maybe…maybe I could. But I need a charged fusion cell to power the bioweld." Oliver told them.

"Been out of them for months, Doc." Rell sighed.

Grayson angrily slammed his fist on the wall in frustration. "DAMMIT! There's gotta be another way!"

That's when Rell suddenly realized something. "The Ulysses escape capsules! A few jettisoned and landed nearby!"

"Wait a minute…enigines'll have cells!" Gray said, snapping his fingers. "Let's go, Rell!"

"Yesiree!" Rell saluted as he and Grayson headed out the door.

"Our boy's time is short so you two need to get moving." Oliver reminded them.

"Just keep him alive. We'll be right back."

THE EMERALD FOREST

Team RWBY and Team JNPR continued to trek through the dense forest until they finally came across a massive, rocky plateau and they could see the smoke trail coming from way over on the other side.

"Looks like we still got a way to go." Ruby observed. "Let's start climbing up-"

THOOOOOM

Something had fallen from the sky and crashed right next to Ruby, knocking her off her feet!

"Ruby!" Everyone yelled. Almost immediately Ruby got up and began dusting herself off. "I'm fine! I think I saw my life flash before my eyes a little."

Everyone looked at the object that had landed next to Ruby. It appeared to a locker of some kind. It was oddly shaped, had a hole in the center which glowed blue and continually made weird beeping noises.

"That's definitely not like any locker I've ever seen." Yang admitted.

"Is there another team out here besides us?" Jaune asked.

"I don't think so. We're the only ones Ozpin sent out." Weiss replied.

Blake and Pyrrha observed the object, taking note of the numerous dents and scratches that it was covered in.

"I'm telling you guys it has to be aliens! That thing has got to be some kind of spy drone! What more proof do you need?!" Ruby yelled as she frantically waved her arms.

"Ruby, I'm sure that there's a logical explanation for all of this. You're overreacting." Blake dismissed.

"You're in denial! ADMIT IT!" Nora accused, siding with Ruby.

"Why do I ever bother?" Blake sighed as she shook her head.

"Don't take it too hard. We both know that Ruby and Nora have the attention span of a goldfish." Yang comforted her.

"What's your opinion, Ren?" Pyrrha inquired as she turned to him. She noticed that Ren was currently staring out into the forest, his eyes intensely focused."Is there something wrong?"

He turned to the group, pulling out StormFlower. "Grimm." He said urgently. Everyone instantly got out their weapons and got into a combative stance, keeping their eyes peeled. Ren turned to the forest and concentrated. "They're not heading towards us…they're heading for the crash site!"

"We need to hurry! Maybe we can cut them off!" Weiss advised. Everyone headed to the plateau and began to scale it at fast as they could.

GRAYSON'S SHIP

Before heading to the exit, Grayson and Rell made a quick stop to the armory to stock up. Rell had settled for another Peacemaker while Grayson equipped himself with his preferred weapon: a quad barrled, break action shotgun known as Boneduster. It was his favorite weapon and it had helped him out in over a dozen situations. He had also slung Ishi's sniper rifle, HeadHunter, over his shoulder just in case they needed extra firepower. The two of them ran through the totaled spaceship dodging falling ceilings, exposed wires and pools of fire.

"I'm gonna be candid with ya Chief, you made a bad call."

"Yeah, yeah. What else is new?"

They rounded the corner and saw the exit-

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…."

Grayson and Rell stopped dead in their tracks.

"Did you just hear that?"

"Scary ass growling and loud goddamned banging? Yeah, I hear it."

The banging continued as Grayson and Rell slowly inched towards the door, their weapons at the ready. Then it stopped. The two of them took another step forward-

SKRAAASH

"ROOOOAAAARRRRRRRGGGGG!"

"SON OF A BITCH!"

"WHAT THE FUCK!?"

A black furred, wolf-like creature covered in bony spikes and wearing some kind of skull mask burst through the door, tackling Rell to the ground! The snarling monstrosity was about to bite his head off only to have Grayson's steel tipped boot smash it's face right into the wall! Rell quickly grabbed his dropped Peacemaker and perforated the creature's face!

RAKKA RAKKA RAKKA RAKKA

Its head exploded into a cloud of black ooze as Rell kicked its body off of him and scrambled away from it.

"WHAT THE FLYING PIGSHIT IS THAT FUCKIN THING?!" Rell hollered.

"I don't know! It looks like some kind of wolf or something…" Grayson guessed as he looked at the monster's dissipating corpse. They started to hear growls from down the hall and saw 6 more creatures loping towards them!

"Crap, it bought friends!" Grayson muttered as he and Rell opened fire on the pack. Rell gunned down one of them by aiming for its legs and when it fell to the floor, blasted its face apart. The 2nd creature leaped towards Grayson but he ducked to avoid it and blew it in half with his Boneduster while it was still in midair.

Grayson spotted the remaining 4 advancing towards them and saw a fuel barrel leaning against a wall. near him. He punted the barrel like a football towards the incoming monsters! The barrel exploded, blowing apart two of the creatures while setting the other two aflame. The force of the blast had comprised the already damaged ceiling and it caved in, impaling the creatures under tons of jagged debris.

"Hahahahaha! You're like my own person rabbit's foot, boss! Rainbows, unicorns, puppies and lucky fuckin clovers spew from your ass!" Rell laughed.

"Shut it! C'mon, let's go to the other exit!" Grayson ordered. The duo navigated their way through the ruined corridors of the ship until they came to the other exit, guarded by two more of the wolf creatures! Grayson blasted a hole straight through the first one, the force of the buckshot catapulting he monster into a bundle of exposed wires, violently electrocuting it.

Rell charged up his Peacemaker and fired a lance of orange colored energy at another one, reducing it to a charred skeleton. "This is a terrible way to spend and afternoon." Rell commented.

"Let's keep moving." Grayson said. The exit had been badly damaged and was sloped downward along with the hallway. He along with Rell slid down the ramp while weaving though debris and exposed wire. The finally approached an opening down the ramp when the saw one of the creatures sniffing around the exit. The wolf monster turned around just in time to see Grayson slide kick it straight in the chest, propelling it into a pile of razor sharp debris. It died horribly.

Picking themselves up Grayson and Rell looked to their right and saw an utterly amazing sight as they stood atop the rocky plateau their ship had crashed on: a lush, green forest that extened as far as they eye could see. Forests such as this were extremely rare in the known galaxy; most were cut down to build new cities or died outright due to heavy pollution. Seeing something like this in its most purest form was both amazing and beautiful to behold.

Grayson stared at the majestic sight, a smile slowly forming on his face. "Well I'll be damned…"

Rell whistled. "Werewolves aside, you picked a peach on a world to land on! I think I might build a vacation house here!"

"You can think about a vacation later, we got a fusion cell to find." Grayson reminded him. The two ran alongside the plateau to reach the crash site but kept meeting fierce resistance in the form of the werewolf-like creatures they kept fighting. After clearing out another pack, Grayson and Rell heard the voice of Oliver through their coms as they were reloading their weapons.

"What the fuck is taking you two so long?! Ishi's bleeding out! I need that fusion cell NOW!"

"We're under attack by fucking werewolves, Doc! They're not makin' this easy!"

"Werewolves? Are you still shell-shocked, Gray?"

"Wish I was. Anyway, we're killin' as fast as we can and we're almost to the pod."

"Kill fast, shithole! Get the work done!"

'Why does he have to be such a dick sometimes?' Grayson thought. "Alright, you heard him. Let's hurry to the-"

"HOLY CRAPOLI!" Rell suddenly shouted.

Grayson spun around. "What!?"

Rell pointed to the sky. Grayson followed his gaze and his jaw fell open.

Removing Crocea Mors out of the dead Grimm's body, Jaune looked to his friends who had just finished mopping up another pack of Beowolves. "Man, the Grimm must really want whoever is in that ship."

"All the more reason to pick up the pace." Yang replied. As they continued upward to the plateau they noticed they were short one person. Looking around, they saw Ruby staring up into the sky with her eyes as wide as dinner plates and her mouth agape.

"Ruby? Are you okay?" Ren asked.

The silver eyed Huntress wordlessly pointed up to the sky. Everyone looked to where she was pointed and gasped.

"It's a real bummer the fight got cancelled today." Sun Wukong said to Neptune Vasilias as they walked down the sidewalks of Vale. "Where do you think that ship and all those lights came from?"

He awaited an answer from his best friend but he only received silence. He turned around to see Neptune staring up at the sky in both fear and bewilderment.

"What's up, man? Don't tell me you're having another aquaphobia flashback."

"Uhh…Sun? What's the last thing you ever thought you'd see in the sky?"

The monkey Faunus folded his arms in thought as his tail swished around. "Huh. Well that's a pretty deep question. I-"

"No, no. Cause' it's THAT." Neptune replied as he pointed upwards. Sun looked up and his eyes bulged out of his head.

Aboard his flagship, General Ironwood paced across the command deck impatiently. Recent long range scans showed that the shooting stars were actually pieces of debris and the ship that crash landed was not of any kingdom related origin. It was making him uneasy about the whole situation and that fact was Ozpin wasn't letting him do most of the investigation wasn't helping either.

"General! You need to come up here see this!" one of the pilots announced. Ironwood hurried as fast as he could to the cockpit. He finally arrived and went over the pilot.

"What's the situation, pilot?" Ironwood demanded. The pilot gulped and pointed to the sky. General Ironwood looked up and all of the color drained from his face. Years of Atlesian military training had taught him to adapt to any situation and never lose his composure.

But there was no way he could compose himself after what he just saw.

"What in the name of…?!"

Qrow Branwen walked through the streets of Vale while taking a swig from his flask. As he looked around for a bar to get drunk at, he noticed something peculiar. Many of the people on the street were looking up into the sky, gasping and pointing upward.

Qrow took another sip from his flask and looked up.

He instantly spat out his drink.

From within her personal airship, Winter Schnee stared at the monitors. Winter had seen many things over the course of her military career. Most of them were related to Grimm.

This was something she had never thought she would see with her own two eyes.

And it scared her.

"Professor Port? Is something the matter?" Dr. Bartholomew Oobleck asked. Since the Vytal Tournament was temporarily postponed, the part time announcers resumed their usual duties at Beacon Academy and decided to take a break in the teachers lounge.

So far they were both enjoying a nice cup of coffee and reminiscing about old times when Peter Port looked up into the skylight above them and balked in complete shock. Curious, Oobleck followed his gaze.

"What are you looking at-GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY!"

Glynda and Ozpin stared upwards to the sky in astonishment and fear from the balcony. They were prepared for anything that might try to bring ruin upon Vale and the Academy but this was something they couldn't fully understand or comprehend at all.

"By the Maidens…" Glynda gasped.

Ozpin continued to stare in utter disbelief as his coffee mug fell from his trembling hand and shattered onto the ground.

Cinder, Emerald and Mercy gazed up to the sky in numb shock. They couldn't understand what they were witnessing. Something like this was literally impossible, it didn't make any sense.

Earlier, Emerald and Mercury reported back to her to inform her of the postponed match and Cinder simply told them that it wouldn't change her plans in the long run.

But when Mercury started to look up at the sky and directed their attention to what was up there, and when she saw that…Cinder knew her plans were now officially thrown straight out of the fucking window.

Deep in the woods near Vale, Adam Taurus reflected upon recent events from within the White Fang's secret staging area. So far everything was set for the full scale attack on the city and Beacon Academy. All they had to do was wait for the signal.

But Adam took no elation in any of this. They were not doing this for the glory of the White Fang; they were doing it for her. Ever since Cinder came into the picture his followers had been regulated into her errand boys.

He barely tolerated her decisions and plans, epically how she had Roman Torchwick take command of a sizable portion of his soldiers. And what was the result? Many Faunus lives lost in the Grimm infested tunnels thanks to that low rent thug. It was sheer luck that his best Lieutenant survived.

This infuriated him to no end. If he was the one truly calling the shots, he would've laid waste to Vale and Bacon a long time ago. But the one thing that confused him to no end was why he had not killed Cinder when she came back and brutalized everyone in his encampment?

One of these days he would make that bitch regret taking advantage of him, as well as his brothers and sisters in arms. But he knew that she possessed otherworldly powers that couldn't possibly be a Semblance. He would have to pick out the right time to-

"Sir! You have to come out and see this!" His Lieutenant yelled as he burst into the tent. Adam took note of the level of fear in his voice. The Lieutenant had nerves of steel and it took a lot to make him scared. That could only mean that something was seriously wrong.

The bull Faunus followed him out of the tent and saw many of his members looking up at the sky. "What's going on? Why is everybody-"He suddenly stopped mid-sentence when he himself looked up.

His mouth slowly fell open. If his eyes widened in shock, they were hidden behind his mask.

All the way over Menagerie, Ghira Belladonna took a sip of his herbal tea as he looked though his family album. The former leader of the White Fang smiled fondly as he looked at a photo of their daughter Blake as a baby. As Ghira wished she had found some good friends over in Vale, a loud sound suddenly caught his attention!

CRASH

Sliding open the door to the balcony, Ghira saw his wife Kali with a tray and several broken dishware shattered at her feet. But his main focus was on the love of his life. She was covering her mouth with both of her hands and she was staring into the sky with her eyes wide with fright. He had never seen her so scared like this in his whole life.

"Kali? Honey, what's wrong?" Ghira worriedly asked as he hurried over to her. He gently paced his hands on her shoulders to calm her down but the poor cat Faunus was shaking like a leaf. One thing Ghira noticed was that his wife kept looking up.

He looked up to the sky and almost had a heart attack. He was now experiencing the same kind of fear Kali was feeling.

Wiping the sweat away from his brow, Taiyang Xiao Long headed back to the front of his house after a long day of yard work. Seeing the pitcher of freshly made lemonade sitting on the front steps, Taiyang took one of the glasses sitting beside it and poured himself a full glass.

Taking a long gulp, Taiyang looked to the sky and reflected on how much of a beautiful day it was in Patch. The sun the shining, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, the moon was-

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTT

Taiyang spat out his lemonade and fell flat on his ass. He rubbed his eyes and looked up again.

Nope. He wasn't dreaming.

In Mistral, a young farmhand by the name of Oscar just finished milking the cows. He was thankful that this was the last of his chores, as they could become a little bit tiring after a while. His aunt had just recently bought him a new book that he was eager to read.

Hoisting the bucket of milk, Oscar walked out of the barn and into the bright sun. Shielding his eyes from the blinding sight, he began to walk to his house while being careful not to spill the milk. As he headed for his abode, he saw something in the sky out of the corner of his eye.

Oscar turned his head left, looked up…and dropped his bucket.

(Death Don't Have No Mercy-Esterly)

Everyone across Remnant was looking up at the sky. Every living soul was witnessing an event that would forever be etched into their minds forever.

An utterly gigantic airship, one that outclassed anything Atlas could ever build, was slowly descending down from upon the atmosphere and straight into the moon!

KRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM

The ship smashed headlong into the shattered moon, plowing straight through it like it was made of tissue paper! The force of the collision sent dozens of pieces of the moon flying outward towards Remnant! Some of the smaller pieces burned up in the atmosphere but the bigger pieces plummeted down upon the planet! Chunks of moon rock, big and small, crashed into the ground with terrifying force as each impact rattled the landscape. All over the planet, the lunar debris smashed into cities, villages and forests causing untold chaos and destruction throughout Remnant. No Kingdom was safe, it was like the apocalypse.

Pandemonium swept through Vale as dozens of citizens ran for cover as the city was pelted by a hailstorm of burning rocks. Buildings were smashed apart and Atlesian Airships were knocked out of the sky.

"EVASIVE MANUVERS!" Ironwood shouted to the pilot. The flagship swerved throughout the sky as it dodged the rocks but was eventually clipped when one smashed the right wing.

"WE'RE GOING DOWN! BRACE FOR IMPACT!" The pilot yelled. The ship spiraled through the air as it plummeted down into the city! It crashed through the streets as it skidded down the road while plowing through numerous buildings!

Within the prisoner bay, Roman Torchwick found himself being bounced off the walls of his cell like a pinball. "OW! ARGH! OW! OW! OW! OOF! D'OH! WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?! OW!"

A larger piece of the moon collided with the Amity Colosseum, sending the structure thundering into the forests near Beacon Academy! The resulting shockwave knocked out power for half the city though Beacon and the CCT Tower were the only ones with power due to their emergency generators.

It was a disaster on an unprecedented scale.

And all while this was happening, the ship was heading straight towards Beacon!

EMERALD FOREST-CRASH SITE

"I don't freakin believe it!" Grayson gasped! "We took down the Ulysses!"

"Ishi's gonna be real happy when he hears that!" Rell said jovially.

The two of them quickly climbed up to a better vantage point while dodging the falling moon rocks. They finally got to a better view of their surrounds atop the plateau and they saw, to their surprise, a sprawling city!

"What the hell? Am I seeing things?" Rell asked as he rubbed his eyes.

"But…how? There aren't supposed to be any colonies out here." Gray said he looked at the ships floating above the city. Speaking of ships, the two of them saw the Confederation's flagship slowly descend down upon the city.

"I really hope no one is living there." Grayson gulped. The Ulysses drifted downward but then started to slowly ascend upwards, barely missing the tower like structure. The bottom of the ship then opened up and started to drop dozens of large containers as it cleared the city, banked right and hovered over the forest all while still dropping the containers.

"The fuck are they doin'?" Rell questioned.

"Looks like their dropping most of their cargo…oh, FUCK!" Grayson realized. "They're dumping it so they can lighten the load! Sarrano's trying to take off!"

The floating goliath started to soar upwards into the sky, its engines emanated a dull hum as it prepared to warp away-

BAAAFFFFFFFFFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM

The Ulysses never got the chance as the warship's rear engines exploded into a massive fireball as it fell from the sky!

"AHAHAHAHAHA! SERVES YOU RIGHT, SHITLICKERS!" Grayson laughed.

"BOOYAH, BITCHES!" Rell joined in.

The ship sailed right over their heads as it soared above the plateau!

EMERALD FOREST-OTHER SIDE OF PLATEAU

It was really hard to describe what Team RWBY and Team JNPR were feeling at the moment. So far their reactions had been one of amazement, shock, fear and disbelief.

Amazement at the sight of the ship.

Shock when it crashed through the moon.

Fear when the moon rocks descended upon Vale City and Beacon Academy.

And disbelief as it soared over their heads!

The force of the speeding vessel near knocked the Huntsmen and Huntresses off their feet as they grabbed onto the rocks for dear life as the gust of wind threatened to blow them away. The ship continued to drift downwards to the farthest reaches of the Emerald Forest while still dropping containers from underneath its hull. The ship seemingly disappeared from sight as it finally crashed landed into the dense woodlands out in the distance.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

The impact shook the entire forest and released a shockwave that nearly made the whole plateau crumble. As the Teams picked themselves up, they quickly moved into a nearby cave to avoid the lunar boulders still falling from the sky. Most of them had to sit down and catch their breaths while the rest of them were trying to process what the hell just happened.

After a few seconds of silence, Ruby suddenly exploded.

"SEE?! SEE?! I TOLD YOU! ALIEN INVASION! NO ONE LISTENS TO ME!"

To be continued…

Looks like Remnant is in for some pretty wild shit!

For those of you who are wondering, let me confirm that the mighty Hekaton will appear on Remnant but as a Grimm! Also, the locker object that crashed next to Ruby is the Dropkit from the game.

Anybody have any ideas for Skillshots?

Don't forget to review but please don't flame.
