Hello one final time for this fic.

Well, here we are. The end of the road of RWBY Effect. This is merely an epilogue to get a few things set up for RWBY Effect 2 when it comes out.

I won't say much more in the top notes here, BUT the end notes will explain more. So please if you want to know somethings and why I picked such choices and what's to come next. Read the end notes.

Anyways, enjoy the epilogue and enjoy the end notes after the read friends and fellow readers alike.

For the last time also to say on this fic….

I do NOT own RWBY or Mass Effect franchise. RWBY belongs to Monty Oum/Rooster Teeth and Mass Effect Belongs to Bioware/Electronic Arts or E.A for short. Please support the official releases.


It had been an… interesting year and a half.

Yes, that was how long it had been since the attack on the Citadel by Sovereign or by Saren as 'OFFICAL' reports claimed. From the dead counted, to the repairs still going on and to the lives being slowly rebuilt in the process. Again this year and a half had been an hectic one, for the crew of the Normandy and their native allies. To especially four young girls, the ones from team RWBY.


"I still can't believe everything that's happened in year and a half."


That was what currently was going through the mind of one Ruby Shepard, younger daughter of Elizabeth Shepard and Tali Zora. As she sat inside in the docking bay of the Normandy, with her a journal she started on her omni-tool. One she was currently writing in since the others were topside of the Normandy. Leaving the whole docking bay to herself to write.

["Well, it's been quite the year and half since the defeat of Sovereign. I still find it hard to believe we pulled it off or that we did half the things we did during that mission. In such a short time. Then again I guess the urgency and our stubbornness to see this mission through helped.

Still. I'm glad things sorted themselves out. Even with all those who sadly lost their lives during that time. Things have been looking much better and again a lot has happened since then.

Like for one, our crew is much smaller now. Actually back to it's original size when me and the girls ended up here. Everyone going their own ways, either back to their over governments, forming their own units or just wanting a new life to start with friends or loved ones. Sad as it is, I'm glad they all are having a good time with their new lives.

Now what else…oh yes. When it comes to weapons, turns out that now all future weapons will have officially a new type of universal ammo. Thermal Clips. Boy did the talks about that last for at least three months. Other then that, Elizabeth, the others, me and the girls received upgrades to our armor too. Gone is the semi- large armor plates over stuffy bodysuits. In come the more breathable bodysuits with segmented armor plates, that have also ended up making everyone looked just SO much cooler if you ask me.

But I digress, during these past months too. We've been sent out to deal with small pockets of Geth in the Outer Rim that may remain. Which is now none since we just finished off the last of them… hopefully. BUT, we've also kept an eye on possible Reaper information or sightings. None yet thankfully, but I still worry.

Though we also prevented an Asteroid from crashing into a planet, meeting Batraian's for the first time and sadly letting the leader Balak go after he rigged the place he was keeping the miners in. To blow up, so we had to make a quick choice and we did. Thankfully we saved the day, which is always good in my book. After that we also ended up competing withing an VR battle sim that ended with us winning the hardest challenge. One were the life safety was turned off and even getting a nice summer home out of it.

Though aside from that and our current 'Main Mission', to again be done soon officially once we get back to the Citadel. But we also did a lot of as I dubbed 'Side Quests'. From getting Mama info on the Geth she can bring back to the Flotilla for her Pilgrimage, to finding one Doctor Saleon that Garrus was after; before talking Garrus down to spare the Salarian mad man; only to have mom end up still shooting him when he was about to attack. To giving Garrus a bit of a life lesson. To even finding Wrex his families armor. Those were a few of many side missions we'd liked doing.

That and doing some uncharted planet exploring as well. Finding a lot of resources on the way, and even doing archeological missions for finding Prothean Data Discs, Asari Writings, Turian Insignias and much more. Those were fun too, though we did do some missions we didn't care for much, like one with some Nassana lady who tricked us into killing her slaver of a sister to keep her own name clean in the political world. UGH, I do not like that woman one bit and I pray we never have to see her again… still lots of side missions after the whole thing with Sovereign.

Actually aside from that, not much has occurred aside from our birthdays being celebrated and many happy memories being made with our little family. Which today marks again, the end of our year and half mission the Council gave us. We're currently over an ice planet called Alchera. One I had wanted to go down to and play in the snow with my dear lovely Wiess for a nice date. But at last, no go. Oh well, maybe we can come back later. Besides after today we're gonna have all the free time in the world and if I'm also gonna be honest.

After everything that happened beforehand, it's not like anything super bad could occur on this rather nice, quiet day.]

Yes those were the words of Ruby Rose, who happily closed her Omni-Tool Journal finished off writing down. Before getting up and making her way to the upper decks to see how everyone else was doing. She was as happy as can be.

But…

Unknown to her an everyone else on the ship know as the SR1 Normandy, from a far distance. A ship that was shaped in a way like a flying cylinder of sorts; and seeming to be a mixture of machinery and organic components. Appeared, then began to quickly make its way towards the Normandy.

As of this day, it would end up being the last day of the service for the SR1 Normandy…


Location…?

Time…?

Year…?


Somewhere…

Somewhere, on a far off planet. Unknown to all except two. Were two beings who decided to… make their way to this world. This world of old ruins, one was a male and the other female. Both humanoid in shape and by this point in time. Good friends.

One was named Virgil, the EX-Prothean A.I turned fully realized organic, well as organic as one of his type could be.

With him, was the friend of the man. The one who'd visited him not only but a year ago. Saving him from shutting off finally and then turning him into what he was now. The one called Ogla Marie Asmleit Animusphere.

Or just Ogla for shorter and much more convenient terms. To be honest Virgil refused to say a name such as that over and over again. But Ogla didn't mind one bit.

That aside. Right now, the two stood inside of a tomb of sorts. Very large and wide in make, somehow having been able to test time itself as it stood still strong. Though the cracks here and there, dust and dirt everywhere didn't really scream that. The large hole in the roof, which allowed the light of the sun to shine down, also was apparent. Still the two were here, because they had finally found them. The one's they would need to help Ogla's dubbed 'Heros' in the future. Soon hopefully.

"Ogla, I know we need them. But are you sure you're up for it. Your body has only healed so much after the battle with Sovereign. I just don't want you to push yourself." Virgil asked. Worried a bit for his friend since she'd use quite a large portion of her power during the battle outside of space against Sovereign; then during the indoor battle against Zekial "We can do this another time you know that. Right?"

"I know and I thank you my good friend for worrying about me. But we…I can't delay this any longer. They will be needed soon and I want them helping out as soon as possible. Maybe even mere days from now or today even. Hopefully not today." Ogla answered. As it was true, something was hopefully happening very soon and not today. Her hero's would need all the help form the older era's before

Without doing much, she looked at the various sized pods before her. Thirty-one in total and all placed next to one another in a large circle. Maybe it seemed a BIT excessive. But considering the situation of the future at hand. The girls of team RWBY and Commander Shepard would need the numbers.

So muttering a bit, as her hand glowed. The pods were wrapped with white energy for proximally, thirty seconds. Before Ogla ceased her spell. Taking a few deep breaths, she felt Virgil grabbed her and helped steady herself on her feet.

"Are you okay?" Virgil asked, concerned for his friend since she was still in a weakened state after all this time

"As I said, I…I am. Thank you Virgil." Ogla answered. Appreciative of her friends continuous worry for her, but letting those thoughts pass by. She looked upon the pods that were coming to life alongside Virgil "Now let us see what we have for allies."

Wasn't too long before one, then two, then the rest of the pods opened up. Smoke filling the floor a bit, before evaporating. Many of those inside these pods sitting back up, waking up.

Ogla and Virgil at this point, wondered if MAYBE. Just maybe, that waking them all up at once was a possibly bade idea. Oh well, too late to go back now sadly.

The next events didn't help with that worry. When one of the more…larger individuals seemed to get out of their long rest funk. Before noticing Ogla and Virgil. His facial expression from confused to guarded didn't help with that matter either. Especially when he stood up, in his WHOLE probably eight foot tall glory and began moving right up to them.

This particular man again was VERY tall. His peach skinned face, brown eyes and short black hair were all that could be seen to even call this man a…well person; aside from the odd pieces of golden metal seemingly bolted on the right of his forehead. But when it came to his blue colored and golden engraved armor, it was bulky. Like stop a tank missile and laugh it off sort of bulky. With what also seemed to be a black under suit. Though this all only added to his intimating look as he also had over with one hand a very large sized pistol that dangled on the left side of his hip and what looked to be a sword of sorts that dangle off the right.

Wasn't even a few seconds later before this very man stood mere inches away from Ogla and Virgil. Both rather nervous as the man didn't seemed to be the patient type or at least very patient type. Didn't help even more as he just kept staring at them, before he FINALLY spoke,

"Explain." The giant of man demanded. His voice not as deep as one would expect and even one filled with youth

"What?" Virgil questioned. Only for him and Ogla to slightly cringe when they saw the man narrow his eyes

"Explain why I shouldn't shoot you or your Xeon friend here heretic?" The man once more demanded, slightly wrapping his hand around the large pistol of his. Much to Ogla and Virgil's sudden worry

Thankfully for them someone came to their aid. In the form of two young teens. Who ran in between them, and the large man before them.

"Wait, wait Mister…." The first of the teens spoke. This one a female, with light olive skin, golden eyes and short orange hair with a small pig tail tied at the side. That and had a little strand that poked out the front. Here attire consisted of a pair of white boots, black stockings, with a black skirt and a white long sleeve coat

"Titus young one." The large man or Titus answered, somewhat kinder but still stern as he eyed the two teens before him with slight curiosity

"R-Right um Mister Titus she's a friend, a good friend!" The young teen girl answered, a little worriedly as she found this man a bit…scary

"Yeah she is. She helped us out a lot. Speaking of…" The other young teen added in. This one a young teen boy, with peach skin, blue eyes and somewhat messy short black hair. Wearing a very similar outfit as the girl, though he wore pants and black shoes instead. Still the young man looked back at Ogla with a smile "It's nice to see you again, we-"

"I am sorry young Eliphas, to you and your sister Locasta here. But I am not the being that helped you back then. I share her memories. But I am not her." Ogla answered, as she noticed the surprised looks on the brother and sisters faces. Feeling a bit bad, she smiled just a bit back "For what it's worth though. I know the one you speak of is very proud of you."

"Well… tha-" Locasta began to say, as she and her brother were upset a little; but happy too. Hough before Locasta could speak for both her and her brother, someone else suddenly cut in

"What the shit is going on here?!" A young, but irritated young man exclaimed, as everyone now looked to see this young man was pointing a shotgun at them; that and covered in armor. Armor that was man shades of grey, black and red. Though the most noticeable thing was the large wide visor on the helmet that had a skull cared into it. Probably from the man using the kukri sheathed on the large right shoulder pad. One could currently call him only the 'Armored Skull Face Man' or 'A.S.F.M'. Still this man already did NOT seem happy to be here, if one went by tone alone "Who the hell are you people, who's that freaking alien chick and…and…where the hell did you bring me and my team to!"

The one's he referred to, were the other armored individuals around him, all seeming out of it still and not even hearing the commotion going on around them.

"Um ah…mister we're just as confused as you are honest." Eliphas answered. Though A.S.F.M didn't seem amused as he fired a warning shot near his feet "Holy crap are you crazy?!"

"I have to ask the same. Even if the codex demanded it, I would never shoot a young one like that." Titus chimed in, sternly as he faced A.S.F.M now like he'd made it his duty now to protect the two young teens

"Shut it. You lot are a bunch of unknowns and I don't like unknowns so start talking or-" A.S.F.M began to threaten, before he was suddenly cut off

"Or what you bastard!" A woman to everyone's right demanded, as they looked seeing the individuals who'd been around where the brother and sister pods were; being about nine others. All staring back at the A.S.F.M. Various weapons out and ready to use against the man

Speaking of this first of these oddities. Was the woman who just spoke. She looked exactly like Eliphas aside from a few more femmine features that Locasta shared with her. Her black hair waving a bit from the wind blowing, wearing a red collared shirt, with a long black skirt and black slip on's. She also had a cross neckless around her neck and a wedding ring made of pure silver with a red jewel on her left ring finger. The very same finger pointed in a gun shape and aimed right at the A.S.F.M, with of all things a ball of black and red energy aimed at him. At the moment she could only be referred to as 'Red Woman'.

"I do as she says, my wife isn't one to back down from a fight. Then again I ain't either, especially when it comes to our kids." The second of the oddities chimed in sternly, who happened to be the woman's husband and apparently both being the siblings parents

This man, like his wife looked just like his daughter aside from the more masculine features that he shared with his son. Wearing a pair of blue jeans, white sneakers, a black long sleeve shirt with the cuffs rolled up a bit and holding what looked to be two swords. One black and the other white, both also looking elegantly crafted. He like his wife too, also wore a silver ring on his finger; only with a green jewel instead of red. He could be called currently 'Twin Swords Man' or 'T.S.M' for short.

"That's right. Now drop your weapon and apologize to me senpai's!" The third of the oddities ordered, a young teen girl at that. Though her current attire kind of contradicted the fact she was trying to act fierce

For she was pale skinned, with lovely dark purple eyes, slightly light purple medium length hair and wore a pair of glasses. She wore like Locasta a pair of black stockings and a black skirt, though had brown shoes, a undershirt that could be considered a school girls, a little red tie and a white/ grey colored hoodie. The only real name this girl could be called at the moment was 'Egg Plant Girl' or for short 'E.P.G'.

Actually now taking notice the rest, unlike the first three. The rest were much more… interesting the least to say.

Like number four of these oddities. Another woman, who had peach skin, bright blue eyes and lovely long brown hair. Her attire consisted of an elegant like tail coat top, a blue arm sleeve with an attached glove on her right arm. A small red skirt, along with blue and gold leggings sporting her leges. While also sporting a cute pair of brown heeled shoes. While final her left arm had a black metallic arm armor, holding a large staff; aimed at the A.S.F.M. Best to call her for the moment would be 'Elegant Beauty'.

Fifth of the odd ones was yet another female. A fair olive skinned woman, with light greyish-blue eyes and had her long nearly silver colored hair tied in a bun, held up by a large black and red metal headband. A long bang hung down on the right of her face too. For what she wore, it was a dark blue what seemed to a short skirt sleeveless kimono, with a wide red ribbon tired around her waist. She also had black cloth arm pieces and long black cloth leggings. A pair of heeled sandals sport her feet and finally she had two katana sheaths tied around the left of her hip. With both katanas themselves in her hands currently. She was smiling too. So she currently would be known as the 'Smile Woman'.

After Smile Woman, stood next to her a pale skinned, ice blue eyed and long white haired young girl. Wearing an elegantly made white dress that left her arms and shoulders exposed, decorated with gold and light blue highlights also. It would be assumed to she wore shoes of some sorts under her white dress. Lastly she wore a gold tiara on her head and held a somewhat cute if not a bit creepy faceless doll in her arms. No weapons could be seen on her, but the air oddly seemed to get just a bit colder and considering her ice related appearance. She was dubbed 'Snow Princess'.

Next to Snow princess was a girl that looked oddly like the Red Woman, aside from being near a more young adult age. Same skin tone and hair length from what could be seen. BUT, her hair was blonde and tied in pig tails by pretty dark crimson bows, along with a small black metal crown of sorts on her head. Her eyes also were red strangely. What she wore was a black coat of sorts, with a undershirt that covered her forearms and neck and was connected to the black skirt she wore too. She also wore a full length black sock over her right leg and a normal black sock over her left foot. With a pair of, we kid you not. But pure gold heels that covered her feet. There were also very oddly, small buttons in the shape of skulls on her coat. While she had in her hands, a very large lance of sorts, in the mixture of steel, black and gold metals for it's make. Her name currently would simply be to the others 'Blondie'.

Finally was yet again another woman, but she also was the oddest of them all. Why one may ask. Well aside from the long slightly blonde, but much more green long hair she had. She also sported a pair of… lion ears and a tail too. Wearing a black and green dress, with long leggings that seemed to be also heeled boots too. She sported only a pair of black gloves, with the nail tips sharp like claws. Her peach skin only made her stand out more with her colors, that and her lovely emerald eyes. Which were currently narrowed at the A.S.F.M, her right hand with a black bow, and her left hand pulling back an arrow. Best way this woman could be called would be 'Neko Archer'

All in all, best way to say it. Aside from Locasta, Eliphas, their parents and even Eggplant girl. The rest of these women were just…weird looking; even one or two slightly skimpy-ish.

"The fuck are you ladies. What miss the last LARP festival?" A.S.M.F teased, just a little as he'd pulled out a pistol he had holstered with his left hand while keeping his shotgun in his right aimed at his original targets

"OKAY…now I really just want to kill him." Neko Archer exclaimed, as she did NOT like that little comment

"Plus the fact he's really rude… and a bit edgy with that skull." Blondie mused in, as everything was pretty tense still; but like so far in this situation. It just got worse by the second

"Wouldn't be saying much yourself lady." A new voice exclaimed, as it seemed that A.S.M.F's allies FINALLY got out of their own daze, their various weapons aimed at the opposing group

For the one who had spoken, was a man. His tone a bit youthful; but also with a hint of an accent as well. His armor a mixture of forest green and sage green. With a hints of yellow and blue. His armor though was akin to that of a sniper, well that and the fact he held a rather interesting looking sniper in his hands. As he aimed it at the group of odd women, the only real good temp name for him would be 'Sniper' ignoring how much of a cliché that name was.

Next was a female, who had a similar pistol had mister A.S.M.F did, aimed at Titus and the siblings. Still that much could be said considering the body type she had, which was more lean and the obvious bust that was covered by the armor. Which seemed to be shaped in a way, as to make it more comfortable for female wearers. That and her light bule, somewhat silver and black armor was that of a scout or somehow who dealt in intel more than anything. Oh and she also had a robotic right arm so there was that. Hence the temp name 'Robo Arm', kind of rude name. BUT temp nickname making was a hard enough thing already.

After her, was another blue coated armored man. The blue on his armor though more dark blue than anything, with mainly just black as the secondary. Though also bulky too, he had armed what seemed to some kind of assault rifle. Aimed at the group of women and two parents. None outside this smaller group could think of as any kind of firearm they knew of, that matched the one the man wielded. Still though, he didn't show any type of oddity body or armor wise at least. But he did give off an aura of sorts, one you'd feel from the guy in charge. His nickname hence being 'Scout Leader'. Because he in a sense felt kind of like a boy scout. Probably not, but it was just a feeling.

The biggest of the now fully awakened new group, was a REALLY big man. Like a giant compared to most. Heck, the gun he carried looked like one you'd see mounted on a heavy duty military jeep then being held up by one man's hands. Which was aimed at where Titus and the siblings were at. His somewhat darker yellow, red, green and grey color scheme really popped out too, that and how much bulkier the man's armor was compared to the rest. His nick name for the moment being again cliché, but simply 'Giant'.

Last was the only other woman on the group. Her armor like Robo Arm, was fitted for a more femmine structured body type. Her armor mostly black with a white line over the top of her wide ice white color visor helmet, her chest piece and the lower half of her leg armor. She was holding what looked to be a scoped rifle of sorts aimed at the others from Locasta and Eliphas groups. Like most of her comrades in arms. She gave off an odd vibe in a way, kind of a wolf vibe. No idea why, but her temp name would for now be 'Little Wolf'.

Like the first group of odd characters. These ones also were pretty darn weird too, though Scout Leader spoke up at the sudden increased tenson building around these strangers amongst one another.

"Agreed, now we'd like some answers on where the hell we are." Scout Leader exclaimed, sternly as his voice gave off a strong tone "I don't want to shot if I don't have too, but your merry band of… oddities were threatening one of our own."

"Well maybe you should tell the wacko with the shotgun to not threaten our masters then." Elegant Beauty responded back sternly herself as she narrowed her eyes "We're very protective of them, especially their parents here."

"Got that damn right. So how bout you lot put your weapons down. Trust me, you don't want test you luck." Red Woman exclaimed, a slight threat at that

"Rin…" T.S.M muttered to his wife, a little worried that she'd just threatened a group of heavily armored soldiers

"Right, what makes you think you and your little band of costume weirdos can do anything to us?" Robo Arm threatened slightly back, as she and Rin narrowed their eyes at one another; avid Robo Arm under her visor

"Kat…" Scout Leader muttered now, but like T.S.M; it was loud enough that everyone heard well enough

"You really want to see what we're capable of lady?" Smile Woman challenged a little now, smirking as she slight moved into a more battle ready stance

Though doing that didn't help one bit, as everyone else on all three sides. Be it the six armored folks, the group the siblings parents stood next to or the group were the siblings, Titus, a worried Virgil and slightly more worried Ogla were at. All of them, well all who felt it. But all could feel the deep tension become even thicker, as most of them got into battle ready stance.

It would have gone to heck in a and basket too, if only for a sudden fourth party to cut in from the left of everyone. The sounds of guns clicking and even the slow rotation of a barreled gun echoed loudly. Everyone though still on guard, quickly looked seeing even more armored soldiers. Though these ones were much more uniformed for the most part. With armor and body type alike, aside from like four who were slightly bigger; and with somewhat bulkier armor.

To start off with, despite the different colors each sported in one way or another a similar uniform white for the primary color; with a black body suit underneath. But that was where the similarities stopped, at least for the most part. Though their helmets shared a similar 'T' shave visor to it and what looked to be built in rebreathers.

Like the one who stood in the middle of this new group. His white armor had a variety of blue accents, black and even some bits of red. His armor itself sported a black armored skirt piece, with an armored neck guard and a pauldron over his left shoulder. His helmet had an antenna on his right side. While finally, aimed at the group of the armored six. He had twin pistols of some design, both small, and coated in a black paint. Hence the nick name 'Cowboy'.

To Cowboys right was a man who's armor had hints of orange instead of blue, though his armor also seemed the least modified, aside from his helmet. Which also sported an antenna on the right side, but also a visor that covered above the T-visor. Finally he had in his hands, ready to be used as he aimed it. A black colored rifle of sorts. But for some real odd reason, this man gave off a sort of quote one quote 'Disciplinary' sort of vibe. Which came the easy temp nick name, the 'Principle'.

To Cowboys left, was a man who shared a very similar helmet style to Principle. But shared a similar armored skirt piece to what Cowboy sported. Aside from that he had a little metal rod sticking for the left shoulder pad and had red accent his armor. Finally he had in his hands, revved up but not firing, what looked to be a smaller hand-held minigun. Which was pretty terrifying already for what that type of gun could do damage wise. Again cliché for a nickname, but his was 'Heavy Duty'.

Now came the next four, who like before. Had similar armor to the first three, but theirs was bulkier. Like for the first of the group, who like Principle. Sported Orange as their color, though not as much as Principle did. Though for the bulk of the armor, like he and the next three. It seemed to have a more…well best way to put it. A leaner look. Like around the waist mainly, the legs seemed more armored up, while they all also sported backpack each. The chest armor seeming more reinforced and the forearms arms look like they held something within. Finally this man was aiming a more, SMG shaped gun if one were to put it in simpler terms. But this man also gave like some of the others a more leader related sort of vibe. The only other nickname that could fit would be the 'Boss'. But honestly it probably was something more complex than that for his name.

Next to Boss right was a green colored man, his armor pretty similar to Boss expect for his back pack which had a bit more attachments to it. Which in a way looked kind of like a medical unit. That and the man smelled oddly of what some would call the smell of a sterile hospital. His nickname, cliché as it sounded. Was the 'Doc'. Though he also sported a rifle exactly like Boss had too.

Next to Doc was probably the most intimidating one of the four, his armor like the others mainly white with no extra add on's. Aside for his chest piece being a more darker steel coloring. Alongside the fact his rifle though the same, seemed to have a sniper attachment to it. But what made him intimidating was the fact, his armor was red and no. Not like red-red, more like dark blood red, actually the way it was painted on looked like it had just been smudged on from the very blood of the enemies the man killed and dried up to the point it stained that white armor of his. His nickname easily was simple the 'Bloody Man'.

Then was the last of the bulkier four. His armor like the other three similar in shape. Though his backpack had odd cylinders added to them that glowed a bit. That and his armor was a mixture of course white, but also quite a bit of yellow and black. His rifle the same shape as the other three, though his had what looked like a freaking grenade Launcher attached to the barrel. Oddly he had the scent of… ash and smoke. Hence the temp nick name, "Explosive Man".

These four and the smaller of their group, all also were rather odd sights to behold for the rest around. Avid, the fact that these fourth group of new comers, again had their own weapons aimed right at the second awoken group of armored individuals. Actually it was pretty much a three, possible four way standoff. Everyone tense still since none of them knew what the other was capable of. It was Cowboy though who decided to speak now.

"So… what do we have here, a bunch of seps threatening…" Cowboy started to say, taking a quick glance at the group the siblings had come from "I'm assuming civilians, armed civilians?"

"Well…"Neko Archer began to say, as her arrow was aimed primarily at Kat now, as she swore the woman under the armor was glaring back at her

"It's hard to say. We just say the skull faced one take a warning shot at our masters there. Which we didn't appreciate one…GOD DAMN IT IS HOT?!" Snow Princess began to say, before she suddenly screamed out that…randomness just now. Realizing this, with a slight blush she cleared her throat "Ahem…sorry, I just don't do well in the heat."

"We can tell." Giant and Heavy Duty both said, looking at one another a bit surprised at that moment of sync between them

"Right…. that aside, we're only responding back because these folks threatened Emile here." Little Wolf stated, calmly if not with a hint of a much more youthful woman underneath that armor

"Anya. Code names remember?" Sniper exclaimed, slight stern himself

"Wouldn't that mean you just did the same Jun, wait…damn." Giant chastised, before he realized his own blunder

"Nice one Jorge…WAIT NO!" Kat screamed as she just realized that little slip up, that and scolding herself at that fact

"Well since we're all saying our names. Boy scout here is our commander. Carter." Emile said rather tiredly, shrugging when he saw Carter looking at him "What, you're our leader so gotta join us right?"

"Just… whatever." Carter muttered, as he turned his attention back to the others around, weapons still aimed at those he was targeting for the moment "Still. Same is same, we can't really trust you much."

"I guess that goes for the rest of us as well." Heavy Duty exclaimed, as he was just a bit nervous. Mainly because he didn't know who'd take the first shot

"Look let's all just calm down. I'm sure we can take in a more… civil manner." Titus began to say, as he had his pistol aimed at well anyone in general by this point "We're all just a bit tense right?"

"Weren't you the guy threatening Ogla and her friend here; before me and my brother stepped in?" Locasta chastised, as Eliphas crossed his arms in agreement with his sister

"Well…" Titus began to say, but felt a little silly for a moment realizing the younger girl had a bit of a point

"Okay you know what… look, I think this is all a HUGE misunderstanding. Let's just talk, because I'm confused right now. I'll even restart all this." Red Woman exclaimed, as she grumbled some before lowering her hand. The odd red and black ball of energy that formed from her fingertip vanishing a second later. Before she took a deep breath, then smiled towards everyone else "Greetings, I am Rin Tohsaka, Magus, Guardian of Fuyuki City and one kickass Housewife. Pleasure is mine."

Everyone else looked to one another, most lowered their weapons at least as they eyed each another. Emille though the only one who still wasn't risking it as he had both his main and side weapon in each hand and aimed at least the first two groups surrounding them still.

"Emile…." Jorge muttered as everyone looked to the man

"Hell no. I ain't taking the risk. No offense guys, but I'd rather be prepped then not." Emile exclaimed, as only Neko Archer and Titus went back into a slight ready to attack stance

Only for suddenly for everyone to hear, from where the boys in white armor were. Seven more sets of footsteps against the dirt beneath their feet. These seven seeming to be a mixture of all four opposing groups currently.

From what looked to be a peach skinned, amethyst eyes blonde haired woman. Who just to say, had her long hair tied in a French braid. She also wore a mixture of purple clothing that clung onto her body and black long socks. While the rest around her body was that of silver plated armor and a long skirt that opened a bit on the side. On the left of her hip was a sword sheathed. She also wore a metal crown of sorts on her head and a small wooden cross neckless around her neck. Dubbing the temp name of 'Holy Girl'.

Next to her, on her left was a man who looked just like Titus, though his armor had more gold engraved in it, along with some elaborate add on's made in gold on the armor itself. That and he had a loin cloth, along with what looked like scrolls written in some language sealed on his armor too. His weapons looking just like Titus as well, aside from the more gold engraved appearance they gave off. His face more scarred for battles and his hair grey along with the short beard he sported; while his more grey eyes stared into ones soul. His nickname, the 'Old Veteran'.

Speaking of the Old veteran, he was giving a few glances to the shorter woman to his own left. Who looked like a female space elf, her clothing robes mixed with armor painted a gun grey and alongside a mixture of red and white. Her face pale, eyes blue and hair blonde. That and she had red markings painted on her face. All in all, she looked… interesting to say the least. Though she seemed a bit shy when she met the sterner gaze from Old Veteran at times. Which quickly created her nickname 'Shy One'.

On the opposite side was a man who looked just like the armored six, expect his armor was painted in a military green and his visor golden. That and his armor was weathered in some areas, even the black under suit seemed more weathered. He had one weapon strapped to his back and in his hand, what was a white colored well what looked to be a LMG with a drum magazine. Finally his chest plate, had a weathered white '117'. Hence the nickname '117'.

Next to 117's right was an alien, that was for sure. Tall like most of the armored folks. A black under suit of sorts over his body. Which was humanoid mostly in shape, aside from the more angular two toed legs and feet; and his hands had three fingers. All the while his head was more circular and connected to a slight long neck, four mandibles making up the mouth and his yellow reptilians eyes complimenting his more dark grey skin tone. He had a purple what looked to be a rifle, strapped to his back and on his right side, holstered a blue hand held…something. Finally his armor, was all silver in coloring and covered most of his body, but it looked oddly old too. Which gave the alien the nickname 'Ancient One'.

To Ancient One's right was a man who wore the exact type of armor that Cowboy and the resto the less bulkier of his group wore. But also had his own additions to it, like the antenna on the right of his helmet, the armored black thigh guards with white bags connected and had in his hands two pistols like Cowboy sported. But his armor stayed white mainly around the center areas, with grey cover the legs, arms, shoulders and helmet. In such a way it looked kind of wolf like oddly. Then again that could be also the white wolf emblem painted on his right shoulder pad so there was that, His nick name 'Wolfy' if yet again how cliché that was.

Finally was also another humanoid shaped alien. Aside from his three fingers and head that had no hair on it and instead growths that looked similar to hair in a way. But again was more fleshy, he also had a pair of small tusks that pointed downwards. That and the black mask that covered his mouth and eyes. Making him rather menacing, but his attire. Which was a pair of brown robes, white arm guards, light tanned pants and light reddish-brown boots contradicted that more menacing appearance; in a way at least. He also didn't look like he held any kind of weapons on him, aside from a medium sized metal cylinder clipped to the right side of his belt. But despite how menacing in a way he looked, he gave off a vibe that felt… peaceful and that you were safe. That said, his nick name was simply 'Monk'.

Out of these sudden appearing seven newcomers. It was Monk, who stepped a bit closer when he noticed a least the armored six suddenly raise their weapons up again and aim it at the one he assumed was Ancient One after the slight explanation when they woke up from these cryo-pods. Before they were able to defuse it, only to realize on the other side, a large version of that small little few moments of tenseness. Was happening over here.

"I take it you're no fans of Arbiter, correct?" Monk exclaimed, his voice deep and calm; but somewhat echoed thanks to the mask he wore

"No shit freak. The hell is one of THEM doing here!" Emile answered, as he was NOT okay even more now

"And why are you with him Chief, they're the enemies?" Carter asked now, as he, Kat, Jun and Jorge at least were in all agreement here. Anya just went along with it

"So I guess Jeanne's theory here was correct." Arbiter stated, as he looked to Holy Girl, or Jeanne "I was hoping that wouldn't be the case but-"

"Back up, what theory?" Kat asked now, as she was feeling a headache coming on

"It's a bit hard to explain young lady." Old Veteran answered this time, before looking to Titus "Good to see you again old friend."

"And you too Sidonus. I… I thought you died when Chaos Sorcerer stabbed you through the back." Titus exclaimed, though sounded much happier all of sudden

"Heh, well got better as you can see." Sidonus joked somewhat, as he really did feel about thirty years younger within

"OKAY WAIT!" Elegant Beauty screamed, as everyone looked to see the woman a bit frazzled "What are you going on about and Jeanne, what theory did you even make?"

"Before that ma'am, I think we should follow what Mrs. Tohsaka was trying to do." Chief added in, before looking to the armored six "Trust me, lower your weapons and what your asking will be explained."

The armored six looked to one another, but mainly Emile. Who looked around, before sighing and grumbled some when he placed his weapons down. Holster his side arm, and his primary on his back. Before giving Arbiter a glare from under his skull helmet and then back at Chief.

"Fine…" Emile muttered, before he deiced to just get this stupid shit over with. He was feeling uneasy as it was and hated that feeling "Call me Emile, that's all you gotta know."

"You'll have to excuse him, Noble Five is a good one at heart just… not a people person much." Carter explained, as pointed to Emile who simply shrugged not offended one bit "Anyways. I'm Commander Cater, I lead Noble team here. With the help from my second in command. Noble Two, Lieutenant Commander Catherine."

"Just call me Kat if you want, way easier and I like it more. Also before any of you ask, NO I will not tell you about the arm." Kat chimed in, as she was feeling still uneasy herself; but a not AS much now as she was moments ago

"And you can call me Jun. I don't really do the military formalities. Still guess it's…nice to make your acquittances." Jun said, going next as he just hopped this was the right thing to do. He wasn't to trustful of all these unknows yet

"Call me Jorge and don't worry. I might be big, but I don't bite. Much.' Jorge joked a little, getting a few laughs. Which helped lessen the tension and he was a bit more willing to at least hear these people out before shooting. But notice Anya was yet again, trying to hide behind him to not do a meet and greet. Amused a bit, he decided to help out his more shy teammate "And this young lady is our newest member. Noble Six or Anya."

"Ah…" Anya tried to say, but she was getting a bit tongue tied as she was not good with THIS many eyes on her "H-Hello… good to… you know."

"Nice one kid." Jun teased a bit, as Kat elbowed the man who simply chuckled while Anya was SO glad she was wearing her helmet still to hide her blushing face

"Back to the main part. I simply go by Master Chief or Chief, this here is an ally of ours. Arbiter." Chief answered quickly, motioning to Arbiter who nodded back for a moment

"Greetings. I hope that we can become more acquainted in the future. All of US." Arbiter like Chief, quickly answered. But had made sure to look at Noble team when he saw "US' to at least tell them in a way things weren't as simple as they'd thought currently

"Guess we should go next then." Cowboy stated, everyone looking to him as his people now, with Monk and Wolfy joining them. But the man holstered his twin pistols and did a quick salute "The names Rex, Captain Rex of the 501st. But I guess that wouldn't mean much to most of you huh?"

"I don't think so Rex. Still, call me Thorne, Commander at one point. But now…" Thone answered, as he hopped soon enough they'd get answers

"And I'm Commander Cody. Just call Cody or whatever now. As long as it ain't some pet nickname." Cody quickly said, as his mind was thinking up hundreds of reasons for their being here currently

"Boss." Boss said, oddly as it seemed his nickname HAD actually been his real name, which to most of the others was really weird. He motioned to Doc and the others of his more bulky armored allies "The one in green Fixer, expert hacker and our doc when needed."

"Hello." Fixer simply replied back, not seeming to fond of speaking much as Boss continued for his men

"Next we have Sev. Our sniper and one hell of a hunter." Boss exclaimed, as Sev cracked his head for a moment before answering

"Just to say. I have my eye on you all still." Sev in very deep voice stated, which only added to his intimidation factor

"Right. Anyways, lastly our demolitions expert-" Boss started to say, introducing Explosion Man, before said man cut off Boss

"Hey don't worry Boss, I got this." Explosion Man remarked, before looking to his audience "You can call me Scorch, and Boss is right. I am an expert with explosives. BUT if you ask me personally, I think I'm of an Artist when it comes to all things that go boom and blowing off an armored door from its hinges with one blow. Anyone here a fellow explosion lover. Come on, raise hose hands up!"

Fixer and Sev sighed at least. While Locasta, Smile Woman, Emile and Wolfy all raised their hands up. Much to Scorches joy as he did the finger guns gesture to each of them.

"Alright, we're gonna be QUICK friends then. Even you reg boy." Scorch in an enthusiastic manner remarked, pointing at Wolfy last who huffed at the little nickname Scorch called him

"It's Wolffe." Wolffe corrected, but let it be as he motioned everyone's attention to Monk "This is General Plo-Koon, I served under him during the war."

"Wolffe my friend. If young Jeanne is correct, I believe I would simply be called Plo-Koon by this point." Plo-Koon quipped, before facing the others once more "As Wolffe said, I am Plo-Koon, once Jedi Knight and General. Now I can't say, but I feel something within the force, like all of us are connected somehow."

"The force, are you talking about chaos?" Sidonus questioned, a slight glare from the older man, before Titus held his hand up as if to tell the man to calm himself

"I do not think… Plo-Koon here is speaking of Chaos. Instead something else." Titus reasoned, but decided to take his turn now "Anyways. I am know as Titus of the Ultra Marine Chapter of the Emperors Holy Army. With me is my second in command of my unit, Captain Sidonus and one of the few men I would fully trust to have my back."

"You do me better than I deserve friend. "Sidonus responded back, a small smile forming before it went back to his more neutral look. Gazing right at Shy One who was standing a bit way from him "Speaking of, our young Eldar… acquaintance here has yet to say anything. Though better question is WHY you're here in the first place?"

"If you must know…. I can't really say myself. I don't remember much but if you must know my name. It is… ugh…it's Isha Asuyran." Isha answered, though she got slightly surprised looks from Titus and Sidonus as the younger elf like woman sighed "I know and NO, like Kat said herself when it came to her arm. I am NOT talking about my name. Got it?"

There was a tense silence for a few moments, before T.S.M decided to cut in now, coughing loudly to get everyone's attention. Which worked as everyone looked to him. The man's swords vanishing into thin air, as he sighed.

"So this really was just a big misunderstanding then…heh. Good thing, I didn't really want to hurt anyone." Twin Sword Man exclaimed, scratching the top of his head and looking down to the ground for a few seconds. Then looked back up with a kind smile "Well nice to meet everyone here. My name is Shirou Toshaka, formerly Emiya. Hope we can get to know each other better."

"Shirou…" Rin muttered, as even now her husband was still in a way the same good hearted dork she fell in love with during their high school years

"Well that's dad for you." Locasta muttered, amused as she, her brother and father shared that rather similar trait to just become friendly with just about anyone; even those who'd threatened them beforehand

"Yep. Good old dad." Eliphas added in, before he and his sister chuckled some seeing at least when it came to body language from the other strangers here; that they found Shirou's sudden change of tone odd at the least

"Very well, since we're playing nice now…" Elegant Woman muttered, as she unsummoned her staff and even the armor over her left arm. Then smiled as she twirled for a moment before striking a pose "Feast your eyes on the beauties of beauties. The one and only, Leonardo Da-Vinci!"

Everyone who wasn't part of that group, just stared at the woman. Stared and stared, everyone else that Was part of that group. Either sighed or face palmed at how blunt Da-Vinci just was. Neko Archer decided to move things along, before anyone started to accuse them of being insane.

"And since that's only going to cause more confusion. Might as well add to it since we can't avoid it…anyways I'm Atalanta, and yes THAT one for those who know of my legend. You've already meet Jeanne over there, the rest aside from Mash are beings know as Heroic Spirits and before you ask also. Yeah, magic ghosts." Atalanta explained, not holding back on the info on them since in her belief. It was better to just say it now then later or never

"Way to lay it on thick Atalanta…" Locasta and Eliphas said in a deadpanned tone

"So guess with that all said. You can refer to me as Ereshkigal. Pleasure." Ereshkigal exclaimed sweetly, with a slightly shy bow as her cheeks flushed a little

"Wait as in the old Babylonia God of the Underworld?!" Anya questioned, as most of her team gave her a look "What, I have side hobbies too outside of being a Hyper lethal Head Hunter you know."

"Well anyways that is who she is, as for me. I'm Miyamoto Musashi. Fame Swordswoman and dimensional hopper in my early days!" Miyamoto exclaimed, proudly with a big grin at her boast

"Weren't you supposed to be a guy?" Jun asked, as he at least heard of the man or well now woman from old books

"Trust me there sir… if you came from where we were. It seems like history got lots of genders wrong. Would you believe me if I told you we knew Thomas Edison as a muscular Lion head man in a red, white and blue spandex. Calling himself the Pres-King?" Locasta quicky cut in, her and her brother seeming 100% dead serious on the statement alone

"I don't even know who that Kraf that is and I still don't believe you." Wolffe exclaimed, most of his fellow soldiers nodding in agreement "Are you sure you're not… sick or something?"

"They aren't, take it from their mother. My little babies never got sick, if rarely." Rin stated, in quite the hefty amount of pride with the statement alone

"Still. If it makes you all feel better, me and the wife here had a…hard time adjusting when we finally made it to where our kids were held up at the time." Shirou quipped, as a hope to help those who he knew were having a hard time taking all this info in

"I'm sure it does. That aside you may all refer to me as Anastasia." Anastasia said, kindly giving those around a half bow of respect between strangers, doing her best to ignore the heat coming from this place

"As in the Russian Queen. That one?" Kat inquired, as her more logical mindset was screaming in total confusion on the 'HOW' even if considering what was occurring currently; she swore she thought she had her shock under control

"She is and don't worry, she much kinder than she gives off. Anyways my name is Mashu Kyrielight, but everyone calls me Mash for short. I hope I and my Senpia's can help out with whatever is going on. Well more of me, but you know. Hehe." Mash a bit nervously said, doing her best smile as she found this all so sudden and strange, but to did a quick bow to everyone despite how nervous she felt

"'And with that, I believe we've all had a formal introduction to one another. Correct?" Jeanne asked now, as everyone looked to one another for a few moments, slowly nodding that they had indeed done so. This made the Holy Saint happy "Oh joyous indeed. Also since my comrades have said their names. I shall re-introduce myself. I am Jeanne D'Arc and I truly hope we can become comrades in arms!"

A bit of holy aura shrouded the young French Maiden, that and oddly a light shinned down on her, making the lovely young woman; angelic beyond belief as everyone looked on upon her. Those part of HER group seemed amused by the sweetness of the woman. While the others well…

"Is that woman… glowing. I'm not the only one seeing that right?" Scorch asked, well just about anyone who was willing to answer

"Eh…" Jun, Thorn and Isha all quietly muttered as they swore they saw it too from the girl that looked at least seventeen at least

"Well if is who she says…then I wouldn't put it behind her to well…glow." Carter answered. As by this point, he was just willing to hear these people out. Not that he fully believed any of them, BUT considering the oddness so far; again he might as well give them some trust if only a little

"That's our sweet little croissant Jeanne for you. Such a sweetie even amongst such uncertainties!" Da-Vinci exclaimed as she ran up to Jeanne and hugged her like a doting older sister

"Sesh… ain't she a touchy one." Fixer muttered, as he and the rest watched the moment between two friends

"Ahem." Locasta coughed loudly, getting everyone's attention as they looked to her and her brother, Locasta elbowing her brother to take over as she just didn't want to do public speaking. So she was basically dumping it on her brother

"Gee... thanks sis." Eliphas muttered, as he cleared his throat. Before addressing his sudden audience having an idea on what exactly his sister wanted to be addressed "Right anyways, just in case none of you heard. I'm Eliphas Tohsaka and this is my sister Locasta Tohsaka."

That got a few grunts and nods from some of the others. Which was fine enough, at least most of the tension was gone now. Well maybe, who knows. Still better than being stuck in a four sided standoff. Still, Eliphas continued on as he took the silence as just that.

"Right. Well that all said and done, I think we should be asking our two guest behind my sister and I on what exactly is going on." Eliphas suggested, before he and everyone else there looked towards the two that NEED to be questioned

That being of course Virgil and Ogla. Who had stayed quiet most of this time, partially from how nervous they were on hoping none of these newly awaken folks would kill each other. But also to let them talk it out to this current state of calmness. Which thank the gods and goddesses on that one. Still they knew these people needed answers and answers they would give them. Looking to one another, Virgil gave Ogla a nod that he understood. Helping her fully back onto her own feet, she gave the man a silent thank you. Before looking back to her awoken champions.

"Greetings to you all. I am Ogla Marie Animusphere or you can simply call me Ogla." Ogla exclaimed kindly, as she wanted to do her best to make a good first impressions on her chosen champions

"That's one long ass name lady." Emile rudely stated, as he and pretty much everyone else had moved in a bit closer to hear Ogla better, though just far enough apart where it wasn't TOO close

"Rude.." Anistasia muttered, as she gave the man a slight glare

"Hm indeed you could say that Emile. Still, my name is not the subject here. No the fact is, you all have been asleep for a very long time." Ogla exclaimed

"How long are we talking here ma'am?" Boss asked now, curious on exactly how long it had been. Since considering that aside from his Commando Brothers, the Jedi and the Regs. None of these other folk looked like anything he'd ever seen; to be honest he was a bit worried for once of the answer

"If I'm being honest with you all. A few good dozen eons or so." Ogla simply answered, as she watched and gauged the reactions of each of her champions

For one, when it came to the Noble Six team, even though they all wore helmets. Ogla could tell the sudden discomfort they had by their bodies tenseness. Though she could also sense that the one called Emile, Kat and Jun seemed the most irked and shocked by this news. While Jorge, Carter and Anya seemed a bit calmer, if only a little

Chief and Arbiter out of that group similar to Noble Six. Were calm on the outside, but Ogla noticed that Arbiter was more in a shock then panic. While Chief thought slightly panicking on the inside, was more worried than anything. Again only on the inside, as the two men were as calm as stone on the outside.

The ones in various white armor and the robed alien with them varied as well. Again aside from Plo-Koon who though the calmest, had what she guessed where his brows. Were downwards a bit and crossing his arms like he was compilating.

Rex, Cody, Sev and Boss all seemed the second calmest, though again Ogla could sense a sudden uneasiness that radiated through them. So maybe they were just better at keeping calm. Thorn, Wolffe and Fixer seemed to be muttered to themselves, like they were doing what they could to rationalize this sudden information. While Scorch was hunched over, hands on knees as it looked like he'd just gotten gut punched. That and he was also muttering, if not a bit more sporadically. Oddly, the one called Jeanne was rubbing the man's left shoulder, in a way to comfort him Ogla assumed.

Speaking of Jeanne, though calm herself. Was shaking a little too, like she was doing everything she could to not freak out as she held with her left hand. The cross neckless she wore, muttering also. What must have been a prayer. Aside from Jeanne, it was Atalanta and Da-Vinci who were the second calmest. Atalanta's ears though were plopped downwards, and her tail curled up a bit. While Da-Vinci simply bit her lip and tapped her foot rather fast as she muttered to herself as well. Shirou and his son Eliphas were calm too, but their worried looks and sudden tenseness told easily that they were just as shocked as the rest.

Though when it came to Miyamoto, Anistasia, Mash, Ereshkigal , Locasta and her mother Rin. They were a bit more panicked. From the least panicked was Miyamoto who was in rather big sisterly was, Holding Mash and Ereshkigal close to her. As said two women, were shaking from the sudden news. Anistasia also being as calm as Miyamoto, simply was rubbing Mash back at least, while she and Miyamoto shared a worried look.

Locasta and Rin were the only one's who'd lost feeling in their legs, falling to their knees as they were nearing a panic attack. Rin at least able to hold her daughter close against her to help comfort the younger female Tohsaka. Though even so, Rin was shaking just like her daughter. Eliphas and Shirou just kneeling next to them as they did what they could to help calm down the females of their family.

Finally were Titus, Sidonus and Isha. Sidonus being out of everyone the calmest of them all, as Ogla could sense a hint of panic and shock. But it was mostly just calmness which was surprising. Then again from how grizzled he looked, he must have been a type of man who'd learn how to be calm even in the worst situations for the most part. Titus though seemed slightly more shocked, again though like Sidonus. It barley showed as he was keeping a more stoic face. Though Ogla could feel inside his own sudden panic.

Then came Isha, who visibly was shaking a little as she took in a few stuttering breaths. Her own internal panic much more noticeable when Ogla sensed it. It also looked like she was trying to tell herself it wasn't true and that she was lying, even if Ogla had a good guess that Isha KNEW that wasn't the case.

Still the woman sighed, but felt Virgil give her a friendly pat on the back, which she appreciated greatly as she and he kept their gazes upon their champions. Both deciding to let them all just get out of their systems.

Which turned out wasn't TOO long…

Well, if one were to consider two hours as long. Still after about an hour of at least calming down the much more panic stricken members of this mash-up of strangers. Follow by the second hour of each group explaining more about themselves and such, no secret being held back since there was really no point in hiding anything considering. So everything now was better.

Mostly…

"I am refusing to believe your military would use basically a slave army?!" Anya rather in an outspoken moment stated, as she directed it towards the now know Clone Troopers and lone Jedi Master with them "That's…THAT'S STUPID!"

"Genetic Solider calling the Clone solider black. Didn't you tell us your UNSC had some wacko job woman steal away kids and indoctrinate them. Before illegally experimenting on them, all for the original purpose to be literally brutal riot control before that called Covenant attacked?" Thorn snapped back, a little insulted by Anya's statement

"Easy reg. She's entitled to her opinion just like we are." Fixer exclaimed, as he kept his own gaze towards Anya "Also I fully agree with Thorn."

"Well and I'm just saying in their defense. They were kind of were from what we've been told, a big help for their Humanity during their own era. Unlike the Clones who were made as pretty much cannon fodder at the end of it. Which is cruel if you ask em." Da-Vinci said in the now know Spartan II's defense as she at least saw the reason for it, even if she didn't like the whole child kid napping thing. Thank god Atalanta wasn't saying much, since the woman simply adored children to the very depths of her heart; well aside from the uneasy look she was sporting

"Well kidnapping is still kidnapping. So you know." Isha remarked, as she even found that rather screwed up and considering where she and the two crazy zealots humans in armor came from. THAT was saying something

"Don't even think you got much to say on this miss. You and your friends there come from a REALLY mess up society." Jun remarked, as Isha flinched a bit that now she, along with apparently Titus and Sidonus were being targeted

"You mean the one where we have a higher purpose given to use for the glory and safety of OUR Mankind?" Titus barked back, sternly as he was not gonna let anyone start taking jabs at him or Sidonus at least

"The very same one full of xenophobic glory hounds in very authoritative and cruel form of society?" Rin said, sternly as she HATED the society that Titus and Sidonus came from; Isha hadn't spoken much of hers but then again she didn't seem to know much about it herself oddly

"Now please let's all just get along. We're on the same side aren't we?" Shirou tried to explain, if only to defuse the argument before it got worse

"Yes my masters father is correct. Please let us all just bask in the fruits of friendship to be." Jeanne added in, sweetly as that very heavenly aura came out again as it seemed to at least calm down sudden tensions

"Seriously, I want to hate her. But she's just so damn…nice." Sev stated, begrudging that fact as honestly he wasn't one for usually being nice and hating just about anyone outside his team of brothers. But Jeanne was like a Lolth Cat, innocent and adorable. NOT that he would ever admit to seeing those creatures as such and if someone found out they'd end up with a bullet to the head before long…just saying

"Yeah…" Titus muttered in agreement, as even though Jeanne seemed to believe a different older God, which would have branded her quickly as a heretic. But she was just so kind that he couldn't help, but like the holy woman

"At least she's tolerable to be around." Kat chimed in also, agreeing that Jeanne was quite likable as a person she'd barley known for two hours by this point in time

"Jeanne and Shirou correct. Though I will say that even their own era was…interesting. We should be cooperating." Arbiter stated, a small smile from his mandible like mouth as he looked over to Jeanne who gave him a silent 'Thank you'

"Yeah that said. The whole magic world and heroic spirits thing is really… hard to believe." Wolffe quipped, as he didn't know most of these so called heroes of old with them; but from what was explained they were very important to their own era's history

"Not that we can blame you or anyone else here Mister Wolffe. I'm sure it sounds pretty…" Mash replied back, before stopping to think of the most appropriate word to use

"Wacky?" Carter suggested

"Odd in more ways than one?" Chief suggested next, as he decided for once to put his own two cents into something trivial

"Like a David Copper Show?" Jorge suggested now, as Rin suddenly gasped loudly

"W-What did you say?!" Rin yelled, like her very self was insulted. Eliphas closest to her was about to try to calm her down, only for the woman to run right at Jorge and grabbing a piece of his chest armor. Before shaking him with a rather scary amount of strength for such a very petit if not athletic looking woman of her size and build "MAGECRAFT IS NOT LIKE DAVID FUCKING COPPERFIELD STREET MAGIC GOD DANMIT ALL. YOU HEAR ME, DO YOU HEAR ME!?"

"U-Um mom you may want to calm down please!" Locasta this time yelled, trying her turn to calm down her mother. Which didn't seem to work "Yeah she's real mad…"

"Allow me." Plo-Koon suddenly cut in, before raising his right hand. A second later, Rin yelped from being pulled away from Jorge and placed back next to the others of her group. Rin looking at Plo-Koon a bit surprised as the alien man cleared his throat "I understand that what Jorge said may have upset you Mrs. Tohsaka. But you should keep that temper of yours in check, especially around company."

Rin took a moment, before realizing Plo-Koon had a point. Then began to blush as she covered her face with her hands to hide that embarrassment at the fact she acted like…well like she USE to when she was still in high school. She thought she'd gotten her temper under control. Unfortunately her ears tended to burn bright red too when she was embarrassed and it showed real easy at the moment.

"Heh…sorry about my wife. She's not usually this temperamental anymore." Shirou apologized for his wife, as he sheepishly smiled while rubbing his wife's back to sooth her. Before looking to Jorge "Sorry to you especially. My wife is just a… traditionalist when it comes to magecraft."

"No it's fine. Probably should keep in mind your technically humans from a previous era from ours so things would be different." Jorge replied back, holding no ill will towards the red wearing woman. Actually he was quite impressed by the smaller woman's raw strength if anything

"That is correct Jorge. Speaking of Era's I should at least tell you what's going to be out there in this current era and some more noteworthy events." Ogla cut in, as everyone looked to her again as she took a breath before going on "First off. As it has been said, humanity thrives in this era. That said, they also have come into contact with other life forms. Before any of those who've had more sadly… hostile contact with other worldly species in your eras. You should be relieved that in this one, humans co-exist with said other species. Within the confines of a galactic community. Currently if including Humans in this current era, there are about thirteen active races that live alongside one another. Fourteen if you include the… newest arrivals. But they are part of my explanation in a bit. Anyways questions yet?"

No one seemed to have any currently, though Ogla noticed the xenophobic of her champions. Seemed suddenly a little more tense and uneasy. Some more than others, while the more studious of her champions had gazes of intrigue. Taking the hint, Ogla summoned a holo of an Asari, Salarian and Turian.

"These are Asari, Salarian's and Turians, the first three races to form a union and begin the galactic community. Asari's being the first, with Salarian's coming in second and the Turian's last to join. All three also form a high ranking dubbed 'Council Races', being the founders and all." Ogla explained, waiting once more to see if anyone had questions so far. But again, none did. So she continued on. The first three holograms being replaced by now the images of a Drell, Hanar, Volus, Elcor, Batarain, Vorcha, Quarian and Krogan "These first four you see are the Drell, Hanar, Volus and Elcor. Also members of the Council Races. Though not having any Council members themselves, they still have much say within the galactic community. The last four are part of the 'Non' Council races. Races who though are part of the galactic community. Are not given much if any say within in community for one reason or another. Be it punishment or other reasons."

Without much of a wait, as she could tell her champions were just listening by this point. So without a second more, she summoned a new hologram of a human. This one Elizabeth Shepard herself. In her N7 issued armor and with her weapons all holster on her back. She was simply standing in the hologram. But even after all this time, Ogla was always at awe at the woman.

"Now come the second newest race to the Galactic Community. Humans, for only twenty years ago, after a small war between humans and Turians called the First Contact War. Were integrated into the Galactic Community and given an Embassy from how… fierce they fought. Still they didn't have the best reputation, mainly since most other races were a bit wary of how hm… strong willed. Yes from how strong willed we were when we put our minds to it. Anyways for what reasons your all here, it starts with this woman. Commander Elizabeth Shepard of the Alliance and Council Spectre." Ogla explained, as she smiled alongside Virgil next to her at the woman who'd done the impossible, though she was cut off Jeanne all of sudden

"Pardon me. But would it be correct to say, this woman is akin to a modern day hero?" Jeanne asked, as some of the others wondered too, while most stayed quiet

"Indeed dear Jeanne. Elizabeth was in all rights THE hero of this current era. For she was intertwined in a quest to stop a rouge Spectre named Saren, from awakening… a monster." Ogla explained on, before stopping and deciding to hold on showing her champions a Reaper. If they're minds were still coming back to them and their memories, because lord know what could have occurred for how long they all slept. But she didn't want to put them into sudden shock, still she kept on "Yes a monster. One bent on going forward with its plan to summon it's fellow demons and kill all organic life in a harvest."

"Jesus…." Cater muttered, as those like Locasta, Titus even, Rex and Wolffe flinched a little at the news. Most of the others were surprised too, but kept quiet and calm enough

"No kidding." Da-Vinci whispered herself, as she was one of the more middle-middle here when it came to being visibly shocked and internally shocked

"Quite so. But thankfully it was thanks to this woman you see before you in holo form. That the monster was stopped in the end. But she didn't do it alone either, no she had a team of hero's right beside her." Ogla stated, before six more holograms appeared. A human man, a human woman and male Turian on the right. While on the left was a male Korgan, an Asaria and a female Quarian "Indeed your eyes do not deceive those who are more… anti-alien. But Elizabeth had the help two humans by the names of Ashely Willaims and Kadien Alenko. An old Krogan merc name Urdnot Wrex, a young Turian Police Officer Garrus Vakarin, along with an also young Quarian mechanic called Tali Zorah and a young Asari Doctor; named Liara T'Soni. Together these six helped Elizabeth Shepard in her quest to stop Saren and the monster he awoke. But there were four original others who were with Elizabeth through it all, through every mission and battle. By the woman's side to the end. These are them, the newest race to join the galactic community."

Ogla once more added four more holograms. All four appearing in front of Elizabeth in the shape of four oddly dressed, colorful teenage girls. The youngest in red, the shortest in white, the oddest one with cat ears of all things in black and the tallest/oldest looking in yellow. Though aside from the cat eared one, they all looked…human.

"Not to be rude ma'am. But these just look like humans, aside from the one with cat ears." Chief spoke, bluntly though was curious more than anything

"Yeah, you all up there miss?" Scorch joked a bit, before Kat and Miyamoto who were next to him by this point; since they'd all unintentional mixed together listening to this information. But both women elbowed his sides "Ow, what I'm just saying?!"

"Could been a bit less rude about it." Rin this time chastised, as she smirked a bit when Scorch grumbled some

"Heh. I like those three already." Sev remarked, as he was happy to see some people able to shut up his loud mouth brother

"Comments aside. I agree with the Chief. They seemed human, if again the one with the cat ears aside." Sidonus exclaimed. Getting the conversation back at hand, and he swore he suddenly felt a slight chill down his spin. Like for some reason, this was going to be an occurring thing in his life ahead… oh joy

"Is that normal for humans to have cat ears. I haven't been around them much so…" Isha asked now, as she avoided some of the stare she got from Titus at least

"No they aren't and before any of you point it out. In my mortal life, I didn't have these ears or tail. It was only in my new life as heroic spirit I gained these extra features. Mainly I believe because of the different accounts of my legend." Atalanta answered, before quickly explaining that it wasn't normal at all for humans to have animal appendages; that and to avoid any smart ass comments. Mainly form the one named Scorch as she could tell he was a man-child already; not her most favorite kind of people if not at all "Still. Why do you say they are the newest race Ogla. They looks mostly human."

"Ah that would be correct. But I think you're all missing a key factor. Us." Plo-Koon explained, as most who didn't wear a helmet at least. Raised a brow at that statement. Plo-Koon kindly chuckled before explaining further "What I mean. Is the fact you all, who are human. All come from different eras and those even beside me as you know. Clone yes, are human. That said, these four must be another pre-era of humans before this current era. Isn't that correct Ogla, Virgil?"

"You are correct Plo-Koon. These four actually come from an era before the this current one. The one shared with another Pervious race, known as the Protheans. That said, the one with cat ears is called a Fanus, while the other three are human. But they and their small group of kin are known better as the Remnants." Virgil explained, as he did wonder even now if the girls were fully okay after… well never mind that. Still he went on before anyone could interrupt him or ask him a question "They were four young and talented young ladies. With the one in red called Ruby Rose, the one in white Weiss Schnee, the one in black Blake Belladona and the one in yellow Yang Xiao Long. Who happened to be the older half-sister of Ruby, before the two sisters were adopted by Elizabeth Shepard taking on her last name. That and also gaining a secondary mother with the one called Tali. But I ramble on. The others of their kind, though a help too came in later on. Anyways it was thanks to these four especially, that the Galaxy was saved. At least for the time being."

"What do mean by, 'For the time being' exactly?" Mash asked, though she already had a gut feeling on what it meant

"He means that the time for this short lived peace ended and now a new battle has begun young lady." Sidonus exclaimed, in a stern if not kind manner to small teen girl, who nodded back seeming more understanding then intimated by the man's sudden sternness with her

"Oh I see. Thank you for explaining mister Sidonus!" Mash happily replied back, as she already felt a grandfatherly aura coming from the older armored vet; at least to her

"Still. If a new wars started. Who exactly…" Jorge began to ask, before trailing off

"Are we fighting?" Cody, Anastasia and the Arbiter finished off, without realizing they had been speaking out loud. Before they, along with Geroge looked at one another a bit suspired at how likeminded they were

"Who you ask, simply. They-" Ogla started to say, before suddenly stopping what she was about to say. Her soul able to sense that 'They' and 'THEY' were here. The first of 'They' a more welcomed one then the second one "So soon…"

"Ogla, you okay there girl?" Locasta asked, as she and her brother were a bit concerned by the woman's sudden halt mid-sentence

"Um, Og-" Eliphas asked now, as he was simply going to place his hand on the woman's shoulder to get her attention; until something happened all of sudden

"AHHHH!" Ogla screamed, falling to her knees as her body seemed to fritz up, like a glitch

"The hell was that?" Emille asked, a bit startled from how sudden that just was. Everyone else also seemed to vary in that category someway or another

"Is she alright?' Fixer asked, as his medical instincts kicked in and he was already next to the woman checking her over as Virgil kept her up on her feet

"She is. Her body is simply recovering for events way ago. Though being in close proximity of…a certain and recent unfavorable group causes this too for some reason. I must take her away, you all will soon be meeting those you must aid sooner than anticipated. I know some of you may seem hesitant or don't trust us. But please believe me when say. We… 'They' need you all." Virgil exclaimed as he helped Ogla straighten back up, before they faced their champions fully. Both smiling at them, reassurance of sorts "We hope to see you again, one way or another."

"Until then…stay safe our champions." Ogla finished, before she and Virgil suddenly vanished from sight; like they'd never been there; leaving these strangers amongst each other alone

It was silent again after that, very silent. As they looked to one another. Be it in their own groups or the strangers around them. No one seeming to know what to say now. Though it was probably because some at least were still conflicted on WHAT to do exactly and others just not wanting to cause any tensions to suddenly break at this point. Which eventually two people did, who of course were the twins Locasta and Eliphas. Though considering what they had done in their own era. They actually had quite some experience when it came to having differing parties get along or at least go towards a singular goal.

"Okay look…" Eliphas said, as he and his sister moved up ahead of the others; before looking back at the group "This isn't what any of us probably wanted or expected to happen in our life's. Trust me, me and my sister can relate. That said, I think we should help out like Ogla awoke us up for. At least that's my own two cents."

"Agreed. Besides we're all hero's in a way so might as well right, Besides this is a new era so you know. The heck are any of us gonna do outside our skill sets. You know I'm right." Locasta chimed in, crossing her arms and smirking a little as she was just being bluntly honest here

Once more everyone stayed quiet, well more of the strangers outside of the siblings group. As their parents and servants. All nodded to one another, before moving next to the kids. Then looked back to rest, waiting to see who'd decided to join in next. Out of all the people, it had been two of the more silent ones so far. The Arbiter and Chief who moved up to the siblings.

"The young one's speak truth. We are out our element and we're needed for a greater purpose. I will stand by the humans and aid those of this era." Arbiter stated first, proudly as his deep voice only added to his authoritative aura

"I'll do the same. I hope the rest of my fellow Spartans do so as well. We may not be on our era, but that's just means we need to adapt and thrive." Chief added in, calm as ever in his tone as he even understood the gravity of the situation. He may not be a fan of it, but this was something greater then he or anyone else

It wasn't even seconds later before the rest of Noble team, even Emilie who seemed to groan a little, moved up besides the rest. The Arbiter, Rin, Shirou and Da-Vinci at least smiled some at the sight. Though seconds later they saw the clones and Plo-Koon move up to them. The clones for the moment staying silent as they gave some of the others nods. Plo-Koon looking to the siblings.

"I'll say, young you maybe. But much wisdom can be found in your words. You two would have made interesting Jedi's." Plo-Koon exclaimed, before looking to Shirou and Rin "You raised quite the set of children."

"Well hehe, we just did out best." Shirou replied back, sheepishly as Rin nodded in agreement

"If that is you trying you best, I would be interested when you put you full effort into something." Plo-Koon joked a bit, before looking back to the last three of their odd group "What of you Titus, Sidonus, Isha?"

"…." Titus didn't say at first, before he sighed and then smiled back just a little "I'll admit, this might take a while. A LONG while before I get use to any of this, but I can't say no to saving life's. Even if some maybe Xeno life's now. But as defender of Humanity back in my era. I will join you in this crusade."

"The I'll accompany you old friend. Besides you still need me to look after you during ever battle…boy." Sidonus in a rare moment, joked with his young leader as Titus let out a small chuckle at the jab. Before the older veteran looked back to Isha. Xeno or not, she was also stuck here and she seemed more human in appearance then Eldar so there was that to help a bit getting use to her "You young…lady?"

"….Fine, not like I have many options, besides maybe it will be nice to be around humans that DON'T want to kill me on sight." Isha half joked, but also said with a slight worry as she, Titus and Sidonus moved up to the group. Once there Isah looked to the siblings since they were the ones to rein in everyone "So, what's the plan?"

"The plan is we make our way straight ahead. Ogla was looking in that direction when she stopped mid-sentence. So that's out best lead." Locasta answered first, as suddenly they heard from a distance, the sounds of gun fire, though couldn't see the bullets or the muzzle flashes from their current position though "Yeah defiantly that way!"

"The let's get going.' Carter stated, before suddenly they heard a very large explosion from the distance "NOW!"

Without a beat, the group of strangers. All quickly began to make their way towards the sound of battle. None of them really knowing yet what they were about to stumble into and get tangled within. But one thing could be said years later after the events of this new mission place upon them.

.

How quite a difference they made in the long run of things, through thick and thin. They and their allies to be of this era and the one before it, changed the universe beyond anything that could have been imagined.


Here we are, the final end note of RWBY Effect.

Sure we've come a long way and I couldn't haven't gotten this far without you all giving me the inspiration. Seriously thank you all so much! : )

Anyways, that thank you aside. Now onto some explanations on choices, plans and such for the future of RWBY Effect 2 and such.

So first off, you may have noticed that the second part of the epilogue is where the extra's from the previous chapters showed up. And yes, again incase you didn't read or don't remember. They all are from various franchise. Which if listed are…

1. Fate Stay Night (UBW Route/Grand Order Mix for those who know)

-Rin, Shirou, Locasta, Eliphas, Mash, Da-Vinci, Anistasia, Atalanta, Jeanne, Miyamoto Musashi, Ereskigal

2. Star Wars/ Star Wars the Clone Wars

-Plo-Koon, Rex, Cody, Thorn, Wolffe, Boss, Scorch, Sev, Fixer

3. War Hammer 40K

-Titus, Sidonus, Isha Asuyran (OC))

4. Halo

-Master Chief, Arbiter, Carter, Catherin/Kat, Jun, Emile, Jorge, Anya (OC)

So yeah there's the added in cast, and they won't replace any Mass Effect 2 companions. But instead will exist with them, so those will be some fun interactions.

Also before anyone asks. Not one faction from the more notable era's will be stronger then the other. Each will have their strengths and weaknesses when it comes to dealing with the enemies and tech of the current era which is Mass Effect. So if anyone feels the need to PM me on your irritation or frustration with this choice. Kindly go for it, you're in your right to do so. But keep in mind too, I ain't gonna change it.

Anyways that said, the first part of this story was; as you see a different perspective before the well… fate that awaits them in the start of Mass Effect 2. So yeah there it is, also back to the second scene that goes on. That also is from a different perspective and will come into play during Mass Effect 2 from team RWBY's side of things. That much I will say.

Oh, and if you're wondering what in gods named went on during the one year and a half time frame. In RWBY Effect 2 flashbacks will help with the more important information. But I may later when I find a good time to do so, but I may put up a short story with events that occurred during the time gap. But that maybe MUCH later if anything.

Also for those who are wondering. I still will be working on making this story better with updates to each chapter. So keep in mind that even if now some chapter may seem smaller, shorter, not as Grammarly correct; etc. Eventually I'll get to fixing those chapters up until I find them as satisfactory as can be within my abilities as a writer. So keep an eye out for those. Also PM if you want to talk more on RWBY Effect 2. If you want, lol.

All this said and done. I hope you all enjoyed the start of this journey, next will come RWYBY Effect 2 one way or another. I hope to see you all there once I get to it and I hope you enjoy what changes I have instore.

So until then, like I've always said. Wish you all the best days ahead, have happy times, good times and relaxing times. Keep safe, keep healthy and keep on smiling. Till the next story, see ya then! : )
