Blake could see why the field test was canceled. The storm truly was dangerous. She heard a volley of loud crashing and snapping noises as another piece of debris flew by the girls' setup. Ruby was going on and on, while Blake filmed with Weiss occasionally nodding or saying "Wow" at the appropriate time. The younger girl seemed ecstatic.
Yang voiced her concern to the group:
"I haven't seen a single Grimm, and they usually love storms, or at least stalking people that are caught out in one-"
"Yang look! Over there!" Ruby shouted, gesturing towards the center of the storm. Blake trained the camera where Ruby was pointing and zoomed in. What she saw shocked the usually calm and collected Faunus. There appeared to be bodies falling from the sky.
"Maybe a Nevermore grabbed some people and they attacked it, making it drop them?" Weiss rationalized.
"We better find out," Yang yelled as she started running towards the bodies.

The four girls arrived to see a pack of Beowolves surrounding the limp figures, who appeared to be just coming to their senses, they each wore nothing but some sort of black bodysuit. The storm had lessened in strength considerably. Blake pocketed her Scroll and pulled out her sword, preparing for a fight. Ruby fired a few shots at the largest grim of the group before folding out Crescent Rose and launching herself into the fray. She slashed at a couple of Grimm, cutting one in half and digging a deep cut in the side of the other. The larger of the two roared in rage and backhanded Ruby, sending her flying back into a tree. The rest of Team RWBY quickly finished the rest of the Beowolves, before turning to see if their young leader was ok. However, they were shocked to see that the once-limp forms were standing, and one of them was holding a knife to Ruby's throat. Another was holding Crescent Rose in rifle form with the look of an experienced sniper. The three girls froze before Yang almost charged the boy holding the knife.

Weiss grabbed the taller girls jacket, saying, "You can't reach them in time. Let's just see what they want."
"Let go of our leader right now, before I come over there and break you!" Yang yelled at the four.
"Yang, we should probably let Weiss do the talking she is the most experienced in this kind of thing." Blake calmly suggested while putting a restraining hand on the visibly raging Yang's shoulder

"Who are you and where are we?" Fred demanded, surprising the girls. This was the first time any of the four Spartans spoke
"Uh, we're students from Beacon Academy," Weiss said shakily pointing to the cliff where the school was located. "And we're in the Emerald Forest, West of Vale."
"Ok, now what planet?"
"Um, Remnant? What other planet would it be?"
Fred filed that info away for a later time and thought, "This could be one of the old colony worlds, from before slipspace was discovered, and their society evolved and forgot space travel. Or it could be an alien race that evolved very similarly to humans, and we are on an undiscovered alien world." John spoke up next:
"Drop your weapons, all of them. Even the bracelet shotguns."
"Just listen to them, please," Ruby pleaded

Yang yelled, "No, I'll Neve-"

Blake grabbed her, "Just do it" she hissed in Yang's ear.

Team RWBY grudgingly complied.
Kelly quickly walked over and scooped up the pile of weapons, taking Myrenaster, and handing Ember Celica to Fred and giving John Gambol Shroud.
"Are you four part of the Insurrection?" Kelly asked as Fred let go of Ruby, her British accent showing.
"What's the Insurrection?" The younger girl asked. "If you mean the White Fang, then absolutely not, but if you really want answers you should talk to Professor Ozpin. He's the school headmaster. We can take you to his office."
"That would be great, and don't try anything," Linda said.
The walk up to Beacon was silent. Team RWBY wondered about their predicament, while Blue Team mulled over the new information they have received.

Once at Beacon, the strange group attracted some stares. However, once they got in the elevator to Ozpin's office, everyone just went back to what they were doing beforehand. They knew that their headmaster would figure out the problem and solve it, whatever it was.

"Where is the nearest UNSC base sir, and what is the easiest way off this planet?"
"I have no idea what the UNSC is," Ozpin replied, staring intently at the motley crew assembles in his office.
"Dust is the main energy source, and it loses all potency once leaving the atmosphere. As far as I know, there is no way off Remnant. And please, call me Professor Ozpin. I would like to hear what went on in that forest, at least your version of it."
Ruby spoke up. "Can I tell what happened from our perspective?"
"Of course, Miss Rose," Ozpin replied. Ruby recounted the events but left out the part where Fred held a knife to her throat. John noticed this, and was wondering why she would do this when Ozpin asked the question for him.
"Why did you leave out that this young man," he pointed to Fred, "Held a knife to your throat?"
Ruby said, "Well, uh, they were just confused and scared, and I would be too if I fell out of a storm and saw giant monsters stalking me- Hey, how'd you know about that?"
"Thank you for your honesty, Ruby. Now, could you four tell me why you decided that holding a knife to Miss Rose's throat was a good idea?" Ozpin asked.
John spoke up. "We had no idea where we were, and whether the people we saw were enemies. So we seized an advantage. If they were enemies we wouldn't be killed, and if they were friends, we could be forgiven."
"Hmm… Well, since it seems you four will be staying here a while, and you are all holding Team RWBY's weapons with the stance and look of experienced fighters, I would like to offer you a place at my academy, it is the best place for me to keep an eye on you, but only after you apologize to team RWBY and give them back their weapons." Ozpin's said. "Also, if you are willing to start class, we are part way through our first semester, and you will have to give me your names and come up with a team name."
"We are Blue Team," John said, with no hesitation then went on to say his name. "John-117, sir—Professor."
"I'm Kelly-087." Stated the brown-haired girl. "This is Linda-058," she gestured to the tall red-haired girl standing behind the others. "And he's Fred-104."
"I guess that will do for now, but I would hope you tell me your real names sooner or later unless you are some sort of Atlas project and don't have any, which would be unfortunate. You can have the dorm next to Team RWBY's. I will have schedules brought down there in the morning."

Blue Team and Team RWBY walked quietly back to their respective dorms. As they step off the elevator, Kelly speaks up: "Where is the nearest centralized information database?"
Ruby looks at her with a look of confusion on her face, then one of understanding.
"Oh, you mean the library. Well, there's one downstairs that's pretty big. Blake goes there all the time. But there's a bigger one on the north side of Vale."
"She could also mean the CCT tower," Weiss added. "Because that has some files, and you can pull up books from other places, we can give you a tour this weekend."
Blake quietly told them, "Breakfast is from seven to eight o'clock, though I recommend getting there early so you have time to look at your schedule and meet Team JNPR, our friends who live across the hall. They can be a handful sometimes, but they're still good people."

Kelly thanked them and was about to follow her team when she turned around and asked the girls, "I hope it's not an intrusion, but what's a weekend?" Team RWBY's jaws dropped.
