Author Note: Welcome back everyone and today, finally, the next real chapter is here! I wanted to give a shoutout to everyone that gave me suggestions and their opinions about the continuation of this story. The reviews touched my heart a lot. Now since I haven't posted in a while, I will post pone the trivia for a little so I can get my bearings. But I'm sure you guys just want to get to the story and I can't really blame you at all. So without further a do, read on my faithful lads!

Vytal Colosseum

"PYRRHA! PLEASE GET UP!" yelled Jaune as he, Nora and Ren ran towards the shocked fighter. Above them, the Nevermore screeched and pounded on the protective barrier around the stadium. Though it was made to keep out Grimm such as the Nevermore, the barrier was beginning to weaken under the constant abuse from the Nevermore. It would hold out much longer.

"PYRRHA!" Jaune yelled again as he reached her and kneeled next to her, "Please get up! You are in danger!"

Pyrrha turned her head to look at Jaune. He face was gaunt and her eyes glassy. "What have I done Jaune?"

Jaune gripped her shoulders and looked into her eyes and spoke in a firm tone. "Nothing. This wasn't your fault. But we must get out of here before-"

Jaune was cut off by a particularly loud screech from the flying Grimm above. He looked up to see it flap up higher and then dive straight down. The moment its long white beak hit the barrier, the barrier shattered and the Nevermore flew down towards the four Huntsman in training. Nora and Ren took out their weapons and began firing at the dive bombing beast to no avail. Jaune grabbed Pyrrha and dragged her away just in time before the Nevermore hit the ground where they were a second ago and creating a large crater in the arena.

"We have to get out of here now!" yelled Ren as he fired his automatic pistols into the cloud of smoke where the Nevermore had crashed, "We have to find the others and help them."

Pyrrha looked up a little surprised. "Where are the others?"

"Defending the city from the invading Grimm and White Fang," said Jaune as he stood up and helped his girlfriend to her feet. "They need our help. Are you ready?"

Pyrrha was still recovering from what had happened. She didn't know if she could actually be of use when her emotions were so jumbled. But Jaune was here, helping her get through it. She looked at him defiantly and drew her weapons.

Behind them the. Nevermore roared once more and emerged from the crater it had created. However before it could attack the team, it was hit by a barrage of screeched and fell back once more into the crater. Team JNPR looked behind them to see Team CVFY running towards them, their weapons out. As they passed them, Coco stopped next to Jaune and Pyrrha.

"Go! We will take care of things here!" she yelled and not waiting for an answer she charged after her team.

Team JNPR began to run towards the exit of the arena. They made it without any further incident and exited the arena to the outside of the stadium where the airships usual lay waiting. However, when they looked around, they could not see a single airship. Jaune groaned.

"Oh no... How the hell are going to get down there? And I swear if someone mentions landing strategies for jumping I'm going to rip out my hair."

His team looked at each other, trying to think of any other way. Nora was about to tell Jaune that it was the only possible way to get down, when a small white airship arrived at one of the docks. The side hatch opened and revealed General Ironwood beckoning them in.

"Get inside now! I will take you down to the battlefield!"

Team JNPR did not need to be told twice. They rushed in and Ironwood closed the hatch behind them and sat at the wheel and immediately began driving the airship down towards Vale.

"How is the fight going sir?" asked Ren as they took a seat around the general in the co pilot seats. Ironwood didn't turn away from the steering wheel but through the reflection of the airship windshield, his face hardened.

"Our Atlesian Soldiers have turned against us. Their programming has been hacked into and has caused them to fight with the enemy. Not only that but right after the entire Atlas air navy that was stationed over Vale was made to self-destruct. We have a few fully fledged Huntsman and Huntresses fighting, but mostly it is the Huntsman in training from Beacon that make up most of our forces."

Jaune looked at the general, his eyes filled with concern. "Please don't tell we have had many or any casualties sir."

General Ironwoods face slackened and he looked down.

"Many students and have been slaughtered. Even adult Huntsman have begun to be torn through by the massive army that has attacked the city. If that wasn't bad enough, these monsters are not sparing any citizens. They are tearing through streets and houses, killing everything in their path."

Their was a dark silence as the general drove them through the cloudy sky towards the fire and smoke that was Vale. It was one thing to think that they would kill adult Huntsman, but children? And innocent bystanders?

The general looked up once more and he stared at his reflection through the windshield. "However, we do have something that has kept us from all out defeat so far."

Team JNPR looked up at the general a little surprised. Ironwood shook his head a little and let out a shallow chuckle.

"I never thought I would actually be happy to have mercenaries on our side. But I guess these men are a bit different from standard mercenaries. These men have literally been our best source of defense and attack so far. Their weapons and experience in the battlefield has made them an incredible asset to our side. And though they are incredibly violent, killing White Fang members and tearing through Grimm and Atlesian Soldiers, its nothing compared to the atrocities that the other side has committed."

Jaune sat up a little and looked at the general. "Are all nine mercenaries together?"

General Ironwood rose an eyebrow but nodded. "Yes. I did see them meet up at the entrance to Beacon. Their your friends also met up and together they have been the reason that Beacon itself has not been overrun. Speaking of which, we are almost there."

Ironwood steered the airship down towards the gates of Beacon where Team JNPR could see their friends back up against the gates fighting off the horde of Grimm, Faunus, and Atlesian Soldiers. They landed and Team JNPR jumped off the airship and immediately were sucked into the fight. Ironwood closed the ship and then flew off to find people in need of assistance.

The fight itself was a gruesome one. While Team JNPR met up with the reunited Team RWBY and fought off a few stray enemies, the real fighting was with the mercenaries. And there had been some serious changes to their load outs.

Scout was running about the enemy ranks, to fast for them to hit him, and taking pot shots at his foes with his shining Australium Scattergun while laughing maniacally. A few Atlesian Soldiers saw the Scatterguns usefulness at close range and began to back up and fire at Scout from a far. Scout simply switched out to his Unusual Festive Shot To Hell Pistol with a Isotope effect on it and picked off the Atlesian Soldiers. Then he took out his Australium Force-O-Nature and ran straight towards a large White Fang member and fired both shots in the guns clip into the faunus's head. The terrorists head exploded, sending meaty chunks everywhere that also sprayed blood. Scout jump back from the gory splash zone, taunting his opponents mercilessly. A Ursa tried to strike the Bostonian from behind, but Scout simply ducked down and took out his Batsaber and broke the Grimm's neck with a skillful flip over its head and striking it straight in the neck. He landed behind the dead Ursa and taking out his Australium Scattergun once more, he charged back into the fray.

To say that Soldier was causing havoc would have been an understatement. He had chosen to equip his Australium Rocket Launcher and was right now in the process of blowing any enemy in his way, no matter if they were human, faunus, robot, or monster. Body parts, blood, and guts flew around him as he screamed his battle cry at the top of his voice. However, his recklessness was causing him to take some damage from many sides and slowly wearing him down. Luckily, he had an easy solution that would not just heal him a little but also kill more enemies at the same time. He switched out his Australium Rocket Launcher and brought out his Australium Black Box. Using the health give back on every hit, he fired rockets at his enemies and healing himself while destroying the opposition. When he had easily cleared his area, Medic ran over quickly and trained his Australium Medic-Gun onto Soldier and healed the patriotic maniac fully before running back into the fray to heal others. Soldier was about to equip his Australium Rocket Launcher once more, when a large Beowolf leaped out of no where and tacked him to the ground. It bared its fangs as it looked down at Soldier. Suddenly, a loud shot rang out and the Beowolf felt something down in its stomach. It looked down to see that it had no stomach anymore. Just a hole and few bones and black blood dripping from where it had been and a Unusual Festive Shotgun with a Cool effect pointing straight at the hole. The Grimm slid off as Soldier stood up, dusting himself off and finally re-equipping his Australium Rocket Launcher before charging into the fight once more.

Pyro was having fun giving happiness to the enemy. Correction, Pyro was having fun being a Nazi burning Jews at a concentration camp... thats more accurate. He had equipped his Australium Flamethrower and ran straight at the enemy, laughing joyous as it saw them burn. Though for it, it was seeing them laughing happily as they were shown what happiness and magic was. Its opponents didn't last long and ended up writhing in the floor in agony as the flames consumed their body and turned it into ashes. One Death Stalker was able to stay alive after being set on fire and charged after the mysterious pyromaniac. However, Pyro had sensed a motion behind it, most likely all those years of Spy checking at the Gravel Wars, and equipping its Australium Axtinguisher and, turning around, smashed the blade down on the burning scorpion like Grimm's head. The Death Stalker screeched in pain as the weapon carved through it head and out the other side. Its corpse went limp and burned down to join its brethren. In ashes.

Drunk men on the battle field isn't unheard of. Drunk men with golden weapons and a killer skill? Not so much. Demoman had equipped his Australium Grenade Launcher and randomly launched pipes (grenades) into the crowd of enemies, cackling madly as they blew up into smithereens. He did this for quite a while, causing mayhem in the enemy ranks. However, after around the sixth volley of grenades, he realized he had run out of ammo. He switched out to his Australium Sticky Bomb Launcher and fired the sticky bombs at the feet of the incoming crowd of attackers. His foes looked down at the spiky mines and looked back up at the drunken scotsman. Demo simply smiled and donated the bombs sending bits and pieces of everyone splattering all over once again. He laughed once more and was about to run over to Engineer, who had a Dispenser up, to refill his ammo when a large burly White Fang member approached him, wielding a large. broadsword. The faunus swung it around menacingly and stared at Demoman with hard eyes. Demoman paused for a second looking at this new adversary before grinning and taking out his Australium Eyelander. The two opponents circled each other slowly, swords held before them. After a few seconds, the White Fang member screamed a battle cry and ran forward, sword above him. Demoman just smirked and rose his Australium Eyelander and blocked the strike. The swords collided and glanced off each other. Demoman took no time to let his opponent recover himself and slashed across the faunus's stomach. Faunus howled in pain as the sword sliced a deep gash in his stomach, revealing a small part of the large intestine. The White Fang member breathed heavily and tried to raise his sword once more but Demoman just laughed and raised his Australium Eyelander high and, with one swift slash, he decapitated his foe. The headless corpse fell to its knees and lay on the ground, slowly oozing blood from the sliced veins and arteries showing out of the neck. Demoman sheathed his Australium Eyelander and stood silent for a second as a moment of respect for his adversary, before taking out his Australium Sticky Bomb Launcher once more and sticky jumping away towards Engineer.

Our favorite Sandvich eating Soviet mercenary was busy firing his highly lethal Australium Tomislav right at the enemy, causing them to fall down bleeding from various bullets holes all over the body. Heavy laughed as a few Grimm tried to jump over the bullets only for Heavy to adjust his aim slightly and catch them mid leap and send them back down in a heap of black Swiss cheese. However, the enemy realized that they would need something more durable to get though Heavy's column of death. Heavy was just finishing off a pack of Beowolfs that had tried to surround him when loud booming steps sounded. He stop firing his Australium Tomislav and looked to see a Atlesian Knight (one of those mechs from the warehouse invasion) charging down the street towards him. As it approached, gatling guns came out of its shoulders and began to fire at the Soviet mercenary. Heavy ducked behind a wall as the bullets fired at his position. He sighed a little and winced as he realized he had been hit quite a few times. He looked up to see if Medic was anywhere nearby. When he couldn't find his German comrade, he just shrugged and traded his Australium Tomislav for a Festive Sandvich. He took a bite out of the Christmas themed snack and his health filled right back to full. Once he was done he peeked around the corner to see the Atlesian Knight trying to find where he had hidden. Heavy quietly took out his Australium Mini-Gun, he need the faster firing speed to take out this enemy, and reving it behind the wall he slowly walked out from behind his cover and instantly started firing. The mech was taking by surprise and tried to return fire, but Heavy had gotten the jump on it and the Australium Mini-Gun's bullets had already began to tear through the mech without any trouble and reducing it to scrap metal in less then ten seconds. Heavy stopped firing and looked down at his Australium Mini-Gun and then cradled it like a baby. He loved his guns.

When you are defending a certain point, stationary buildings are an incredible asset. Such as Dispensers... or Sentry's. Engineer had immediately set up a Sentry gun and used his Australium Wrench to quickly upgrade it to level three, using rubble, scarp metal from dead Atlesian Soldiers, and armor from White Fang members as metal to upgrade. When the enemy first charged in, seeing only a few people protecting the entrance to Beacon, they were sure they could easily overwhelm... only to hear a beeping sound from the corner and seeing a large red Sentry gun with twin Gatling guns and a box that fired four rockets. Their had been a spilt second silence before the Sentry opened fire and cleared the entire wave of enemies. Engineer just stood beside his contraption and laughed as he hit the Sentry with his Australium Wrench to reload the bullets and rockets in the building. After, as his teammates began charging in themselves, he placed down a Dispenser for his team, to heal up if Medic wasn't around but more importantly refill their ammo, and quickly upgraded it. By the time it was done, his comrades were running back and forth from his little nest and the battlefield, thanking him happily for the aid. All was going great... that is until a Atlesian Knight came around and launched a few rockets at his Sentry. Engineer took out his Rescue Ranger and fired at the Sentry to heal it as it got attacked, but it was no use and his contraption was blow to shreds. The mech that had destroyed the Texan's beloved sentry now turned to him and lined up the shot. However, Engineer just smiled and replaced his Rescue Ranger with his Australium Frontier Justice. Since his sentry had killed many enemies before being taken out, the gun he was holding was crackling with revenge crits. Engineer smiled and raised the gun and fired all three shots from its clip at the Atlesian Knight. In normal circumstances, this may have down a bit of damage but not enough to be very significant. However, these were crits. Three times the power. The shots tore through the mech like it was made out of paper and it fell, smoking slightly and completely defeated. Engineer reloaded his Frontier Justice, chuckling slightly, before turning to his Dispenser and collected some metal. Then he proceeded to erect another sentry.

The general ideology is that doctors in war are very easy targets and are easy to dispatch. That is true in many cases. Except for a certain German doctor. Medic was laughing hysterically as he used his Australium Blutsauger to fire syringes into the enemy lines. They weren't as effective as bullets, a large amount can easily take out a few people. Not to mention, when these syringes hit an opponent, Medic would automatically heals him a small amount of health. This makes the Blutsauger a prime weapon for battles and when Medic needs to defend himself against more then one enemy. However, he knew he couldn't just kill all day with his Blutsauger and after finishing off one more poor White Fang member with a couple of syringes to the neck, he equipped his Australium Medi-Gun and began to run to his teammates that needed healing. As he did so, enemies would try to pick him off, only to get blown away by the other mercenaries or syringed to death by the Australium Blutsauger. For a while, Medic followed this pattern until he finally healed enough to build his Übercharge meter to max. He grinned his sadistic grin and turned to the nearest mercenary. It was Heavy. Medic cackled insanely as he trained the healing beam on Heavy and popped the Über. He and Heavy both began to shine a metallic red color and Heavy roared with laughter as he revved his Australium Mini-Gun and fired at the helpless attackers who did not fully realize what had happened. By the time they did, they were long gone. They piled around the dynamic duo as they murdered them mercilessly. Finally after eight seconds, thought it had seemed like hours, the Über fizzled out and left Medic and Heavy standing and a large pile of bodies. Medic looked below his feet at the corpses he was currently standing on. He loved his job.

Sniper was having a grand time. He stood next to Engineer's nest and had equipped his Australium Sniper Rifle and was currently putting bullets through the skull of every enemy that passed his scope. He grinned as he sniped another enemy, his one hundred and fiftieth. He was reloading his gun when he noticed a few red dots pointed towards his face. Realizing what they were, he ducked down behind Engineer's Dispenser as the enemy snipers shot at where he had been. Sniper took a moment to gather himself before quickly peeking over the top of the Dispenser and sniped one of the snipers. The shot hit is mark, striking the opponent right through the eye and causing him to fall off his perch, blood spilling from the new hole in his head. The red dots of the other snipers turned to face Sniper once more, but he was ready and quickly took out another before once again ducking behind the Dispenser. However, this time when he checked to see if the enemy sniper had moved on, he saw that the red dot was fixed on his position and most likely wouldn't move and was tracking the whole area around him. Sniper thought for a second before he got an idea. Crouching, he army crawled to a bunch of corpses near the Dispenser and hid under them. He slipped into the pile of bodies, ignoring the rotting flesh of dead faunus and humans. He noticed that a White Fang members body was twitching slightly. He just stared at it emotionlessly and took out his Australium SMG. He raised the gun and fired a few bullets into the dying faunus's body. The faunus gurgled for a second before falling completely limp. Sniper looked at it for a second longer, checking if the faunus was indeed dead, before switching back to his Australium Sniper Rifle and poking a small hole through the mass of bodies in front of him, he looked from inside his corpse fort at the enemy sniper who hadn't noticed that he had moved. Sniper smiled and aimed.

The teams expert espionage was in the midst of a complicated but very effective loop. Equipping his Dead Ringer trinket and his Australium Knife, he would disguise as an enemy and blend right in. He wouldn't stab immediately, but wait for a very good opportunity to cause confusion instead of just outright killing. When these moments came, he would backstab the nearest foe and losing his disguise. He would continue backstabbing until the enemy finally noticed him and turned their attention on him. At this moment he would switch to his Australium Ambassador and fire a few shots into the enemy line, killing a few. However, when the Grimm, Atlesian Soldiers, and White Fang seemed to be on top of him, he would just smile and take out his Dead Ringer. Letting a stray bullet hit him, he would leave a fake corpse behind and run back around the enemy line again, meanwhile disguising again. Once he uncloaked, the cycle would begin once more. At few points, he would take out his sapper and sap a few Atlesian Soldiers, but it wasn't to high on the priority list and it was much easier to kill them instead.

While our nine brave and brutal mercenaries were fighting off an army of opponents, the students had regrouped inside the gates of Beacon. They hadn't wanted to leave the mercenaries on their own, but Engineer had insisted that they could take care of them selves and to either get someplace safe or protect another part of the school.

Pyrrha was feeling slightly better as she was hugged by a very worried Team RWBY and smiled a little. There were words of sympathy and comfort thrown around a little and for a moment, the eight future Huntsman and Huntresses forgot that they were, in fact, in the middle of a war.

Pyrrha was just letting go of a very tearful Ruby when she noticed a man with gray hair, green suit, spectacles and a cane running towards them. Her smile melted off as Professor Ozpin rushed towards them.

"Thank Remnant your all alright!" he said as he stopped in front of them panting slightly. He did look genuinely relieved, but his eyes were serious and gray. Pyrrha had a feeling what was about to happen and she gulped. She still didn't know if she would be able to, but right now there really was no other option. Her worries and fears were confirmed when Ozpin looked directly at her and spoke.

"We must go Miss Nikos. I don't think I need to explain much more."

She looked around at her loving friends. The first friends she had had for so long. After being known as a celebrity in Mistral, she had been ostracized by her fellow peers, due to her being so intimidating. She had never wanted to push people away, but in the end she had left for Beacon friendless. Then she had met Jaune and the others. They had lighted on her life and made her happier then ever before. She now looked at Jaune, tears flowing down her cheeks. Jaune looked at her and then at Ozpin and his face hardened.

"Look, I don't care where your taking her, I'm coming with," he said with such a stern voice that everyone stared at him. He was talking to the headmaster of Beacon after all.

However, Ozpin didn't seem to mind. He just looked and Jaune and nodded. Pyrrha silently thanked both Jaune for offering to go with her and Ozpin for agreeing.

"Fine. But we need to go now!" he said earnestly.

The others looked incredibly confused as Ozpin and began to ran back towards the academy, Jaune and Pyrrha in toe. Yang yelled after them, "Hey! Where are you going?"

"No time to explain!" Pyrrha yelled back not stopping.

Team RWBY, Nora and Ren exchanged confused looks. Then Ruby gripped her scythe, a determined look in her eye. "Lets follow them and make sure nothing holds them up. It seems they were in a hurry to get somewhere and it wouldn't help them if they had to fight off enemies."

Everyone nodded and ran after the other three, leaving the mercenaries to deal with on coming army.


Cinder stood on a roof overlooking the Beacon grounds and watched as Ozpin ran towards the school followed by two students. A little behind them, more students ran behind them with their weapons drawn acting as some type of guard.

Behind Cinder, Mercury, Emerald and Adam Taurus stood silently. Behind them, the city of Vale burned and cried out in pain as the armies of Grimm, White Fang and Atlesian Soldiers stormed the streets. All had gone to plan. Now for the main event.

As she watched Ozpin and the two students enter the school, Cinders lip curled into a sinister grin. She turned around and looked at her comrades.

"It will all be over soon," she said with the sinister grin still on her face, "all we need to do now is do commence the final part of the operation. You three will personally keep the anybody else from entering the academy while I go in and follow Ozpin and his retched pigs. Afterward you will wait for my signal and-"

She was interrupted by a strange black portal suddenly appearing next to them. From inside, three men stepped out and the portal closed behind them. The first was a man with short black and gray hair. He also has a mustache and green eyes. He wears a gray overcoat with yellow linings, a yellow dress shirt and a black necktie. His yellow-buttoned undercoat and fingerless gloves match his cordovan shoes.

The second was a large, muscular man with short brown hair, a beard and hazel eyes. He wears a two-tone olive green coat and a large belt. His pants are black and his boots are brown with white fronts. His hairy arms appear to have some scars near the edges of his sleeves.

The last one was a pale man with gold eyes and a brown ponytail braided to resemble a scorpion's tail. He wears a white sleeveless jacket with leather belts strapped to it, along with white pants. His jacket is left open, exposing his bare chest, which is criss-crossed with prominent scars. His arms are covered with purple bandages and leather vambraces. He also wears leather boots covering his entire shin with knee guards. On each earlobe is a silver, ring-shaped earring, and near the top of his left ear is another matching earring.

They stood quietly for a second, regarding the ravaged city with different expressions. The mustached man stared with a small grin on his face. The muscular man stared with a passive face, expressing now real emotion. The pale man giggled in excitement at the carnage and barely contained himself from laughing hysterically.

Finally Cinder cleared her throat, her face contorted in suppressed rage. "What are you doing here?"

The three men turned to look at her and exchanged bemused looks. The mustached man was the one to break the short pause.

"We have been sent here by our mistress. It seems she wants to make sure that all is done to perfection... understandably."

Cinders eyes glowed with a dangerous glow as she glared daggers at the man. He simply smirked and looked towards the entrance to Beacon academy which was now being guarded by Team RWBY, Nora, Ren. He didn't seem to mind the death glare that was being directed at him.

"I don't need your help," Cinder said threw gritted teeth, "You might as well go back through and tell Salem-"

"I would not say anymore," said the muscular man, his voice low and serious, "she sent us here. There must be a reason. We must obey."

Cinder turned to him and was about argue until she realized he had a point. The mistress would not be to happy if Cinder send back the three men and disobeyed her orders. She sighed and turned back to the school. "No matter, the plan still goes the same. I will be the one to take the maidens power and kill Ozpin."

The mustached man rolled his eyes. "Of course. Now let us-"

Before he could finish, a bright flash of light blinded them all for a second. When the burning feeling in their eyes subsided, they looked to see two figures standing where the flash of light had appeared. Before any of them could say a thing, one of the figures yelled furiously.

"YOU LYING BITCH!"

Cinder looked to see Roman Torchwick and Neo both standing there, alive and intact. Roman was glaring at her angrily sputtering nonsense, his knuckles white from gripping his cane so hard. Next to him, Neo was a bit calmer but she didn't have her signature smile.

Mercury laughed a little as he saw the thief try to string words together. Roman turned to him angrily and pointed his cane at the gray haired teen making him stop laughing and stare at the irate man.

Before the situation could escalate anymore, the mustached man cleared his throat and everyones attention went to him. He looked at Roman and smiled and held out his hand in a gentlemanly sort of fashion.

"You must be the notorious Roman Torchwick. I have to say I am very impressed with what you have done for our cause."

Roman ignored the offered handshake and turned his cane towards the man. "Who the hell are you then?"

"Ah, my apologies. My name is Arthur Watts. Me and my colleagues here are have come from the mistress herself to make sure that the final part of the operation goes smoothly. I am glad to see that you were able to escape that suicide mission that Cinder made you go through, no doubt with the help of your little friend here," he gestured to Neo who flashed him her usual seductive smile, "Your expertise in stealing and causing mayhem in the news would be very useful in the future."

Roman began to calm down a little as Watts praised him and eventually lowered his cane entirely to let the man speak. When Watts finished, Roman let out a small chuckle and stared back at Cinder.

"See? Why can't you be like him eh?"

Cinder growled in annoyance. Watts just smiled and turned his attention to the leader of the White Fang who had been silent throughout these events. "So you are the famous Adam Taurus that Cinder here was able to recruit to our side? Hmm, I must say your faunus are very loyal to you."

Adam nodded towards Watts. "They will go to whatever lengths to see our people finally equal. Even if the cost is death."

Watts nodded and then turned to his two companions that had come through the portal with him. "So Hazel and Tyrian, what do you think of our team? Is it worthy of our mistress?"

The muscular man called Hazel, looked at each person in turn before nodding slowly. "As long as they are ready to go through any obstacle in their path, I say that they are worthy."

The pale man called Tyrian just laughed maniacally. "Our goddess has her own preferences and if she decides they are unworthy, then they are!"

He giggled a little as Emerald and Mercury gave him frightened looks. Adam just looked away staring at the teens in front of the academy entrance. Roman and Neo had also turned to stare in the same direction. Cinder glared at the three men one more time before also turning to the task at hand.

"Alright," she said her voice curt, "All of you will distract the teens down there while I make my way inside. Obviously they are small fry, but they have been a thorn in my neck for a while."

Watts smirked. "A couple of kids keeping you down Cinder?"

Cinder fought the urge to blast Watts with some glass Dust. She breathed deeply before continuing, "Once I am down with the maiden and Ozpin, I will come back to where you guys are fighting and show them the true terror of the Grimm. And then... it will be just the beginning."


"So... does anyone know what they were talking about?" asked Yang as she stood in front of the entrance to Beacon alongside her friends. The others shook their heads. Ruby looked at her sister and said, "Well it must have been very important for the fight. I mean since we are in the middle of an invasion."

Ren nodded. "Yeah, maybe its some sort of secret weapon they have in store and Pyrrha maybe the one to use since she's very powerful."

"Then why wouldn't one of the staff members use this weapon or better yet Ozpin?" asked Weiss. The teens fell into thoughtful silence. Despite the sounds of fire, fighting, and occasionally screaming, it was quite calm for them. Around them there was nothing out of the ordinary and so far nothing had come to attack. Until now.

Suddenly Blake perked up and then looked to a certain spot quite a distance away. She narrowed her eyes. She had sworn she had sensed something there. Maybe it was just a-

"Hey guys!"

Everyone readied their weapons and pointed it a spot a few meters away only to find a blond monkey faunus with his hands up in surrender and yelling, "DON'T SHOOT!"

The group blinked for a second.

"Sun? What are you doing here?" asked Blake.

Sun lowered his hands and scratched the back of his neck with one. "Well, me and Neptune were walking through the streets of Vale when the attack started. Neptune got caught up with saving some civilians. I was about to help him when I was forced back by a couple of large Ursa's. I led them on a while goose chase and finally led them to those nine friends of yours who killed them easily. Then told me to go and find you and here I am."

There was moments pause before Blake sighed. "Well at least what I sensed was nothing bad-"

"FOR THE GODDESS!"

A white figure darted from the spot and flew straight towards the group of teens. They scattered and he landed on all fours right where they had been with the teens now around him. He got up and cackled at delight at the future Huntsman and Huntresses. On his arms he had equipped wrist blades that were also automatic pistols.

Tyrian straightened up and looked around at the seven teens who were pointing their weapons at him. He giggled a little and then smiled maniacally.

"Who's first?"

Before any of the teens could do anything, a blinding light flashed next to Tyrian suddenly and blinded them. Once the light cleared, Emerald, Mercury, Adam, Watts, Hazel, Roman, Neo and Cinder were standing there. Cinder looked towards her comrades, nodded, and then ran into the academy before any of the teens could see. Once the teens could see they were met with the eight new threats. They all once again readied themselves and focused their weapons on their new opponents.

There was a slight pause as everyone sized each other up. Yang glared at Mercury and Neo who just smiled tauntingly at her. Blake looked at Adam with a strange mixture of fear and determination in her eye. Ruby glared at Roman Torchwick. This silence continued for almost a minute. Then Tyrian repeated in a quiet but manic voice.

"Who's first?"

Yang roared with all the pent up anger since the Vytal Tournament match against Mercury and instantly activated her semblance. She charged at Mercury and Neo and the three of them fell back a few meters away and began to brawl.

Blake was next to attack and she went straight for Adam and began to slash at him with her small sword and he blocked with his longsword and they began to trade blows while dodging around each other acrobatically.

Weiss summoned a glyph under her feet and propelled herself forward towards Emerald who brought up her two kusarigama and they also began to trade quick blows.

Ren and Nora nodded to each other before separating with Nora swinging her weapon towards Hazel and Ren quickly running towards Watts and firing his dual pistols rapidly. Hazel blocked the strike easily by just raising his arm and Watts dodged the oncoming attack with quick and nimble movements.

Sun jumped in and swung his staff at Tyrian who dodged and laughed maniacally as he began to engage the faunus in combat.

Ruby looked at her friends fighting and a tear welled up in her eye. They were all fighting a losing fight. Even she could tell that these opponents were of a higher caliber then them. But she would not let them fight alone. She turned to look at the last remaining villain. Roman stood their regarding his cane smugly, waiting for Ruby to attack. Ruby griped her scythe tightly and then before she could back out, she charged in.


The elevator dinged and the doors opened. Ozpin, Pyrrha and Jaune all ran out and ran through the Vault. Jaune looked around in awe as they ran, but he knew that he couldn't linger for long. They reached the opposite of the room quickly. The machine with the current maiden inside one of the cockpits was still untouched and Ozpin immediately went to a control panel in between the two cockpits and began typing hurriedly.

"Alright, we don't have much time! Miss Nikos please get inside the other cockpit," Ozpin said as he pushed a few more buttons and the empty cockpit opened.

Pyrrha stared for a second before looking back at Jaune who was pale with anxiety. She couldn't leave him. But she had to.

"Pyrrha?" Jaune asked shakily.

She pulled him and kissed him passionately. She could feel tears trickling down her face as she did so. When she let go, he was staring open mouthed.

"I love you Jaune," she said and then turned and entered the cockpit. Jaune shook himself out of his trance and watched tearfully as his girlfriend was seated into the cockpit and the lid closed. They exchanged a look of love as Ozpin began to type once more.

"Alright the transferring procedure will begin in just a moment," he then turned to Jaune and his eyes were full of sympathy. "I am very sorry Mister Arc. I truly am."

Jaune couldn't respond. He was too sad and broken to reply.

Ozpin keyed in a few last commands and the machine began to rumble with life. In the cockpit with the maiden, a strange light was being sucked out and funneled into a pipe connected to Pyrrha's cockpit and it went into Pyrrha. She screamed as the massive power began to enter her system. Jaune ran towards the cockpit and pounded on the glass as he saw her girlfriend being pumped with godlike power. He began to sob as he watched his one and only girlfriend be taken from him for a good but dangerous cause.

Suddenly, a black arrow flew through the air and pierced through the maidens cockpit and into her heart. The maiden gasped for a second before going completely limp. The machine began to send out and alarm and malfunction as the power that had been going into Pyrrha was suddenly coming out of her and flowing straight towards the woman who had shot the arrow. After a few seconds, the machine exploded, expelling Pyrrha into Jaunes arms and causing them both to fall to the floor.

Pyrrha blinked groggily as she looked down to see the tear stained face of her boyfriend. She didn't feel any different. Had something happened? She looked down at him, but he wasn't looking at her. He was staring at something else and she turned to see what he was staring at. Her heart skipped a beat.

Cinder Fall was levitating in the air as the godlike power of the fall maiden was entering her body. She laughed triumphantly as the power seeped into her and made her feel whole and powerful. She had finally gotten all the power, not just a part, but all of it. A few meters in front of her Ozpin was watching her with cold eyes. He had unslung his cane from his hip and was now holding it in front of him like a weapon.

After a few minutes, all the power had been transferred into Cinders body. She remained floating but with a new aura of energy around her. She regarded herself for a second taking in the power. Then she looked down at Ozpin and smirked.

"Well dear Ozpin... it seems you have failed this time."

Ozpin didn't respond to her. Instead he turned to the two teens who had begun to stand up and ready their weapons.

"Go! Do not try and fight!" he yelled towards them. Pyrrha and Jaune hesitated for a second but Ozpin's cold expression prompted them to move. They ran past Cinder and towards the elevator. Cinder paid no heed to them and let them go. Her focus was solely on Ozpin.

"Lets finish this Ozpin. Time to die."


Pyrrha and Jaune ran outside Beacon to find a mini war being held in front.

Yang was trading blows with Mercury while trying to hit Neo at the same time. However, it was basically impossible to do both at the same time. Mercury was able to find openings frequently due to Yang losing focus on him and trying to land a hit on Neo. Neo herself had no problem dodging the attacks Yang sent her way and was even to hit her a few times with her parasol before retreating back. Yang had stupidly attacked both of them at the same time and was now paying for it. Her aura was depleting steadily as she continued to take abuse from both sides.

Nearby, Blake was struggling to keep Adam from slicing her in two. She had switched from close combat to ranged very quickly after they had started. She was jumping around him and firing her pistol, but it wasn't a particular powerful weapon and Adam was able to simply block the bullets with his longsword as he advanced towards her with a hungry look on his face.

Weiss was clashing blades with Emerald and seemed to be able to keep up a steady fight with no real problems. However, Emerald was a bit more quicker and was easily more nimble. She skipped around the heiress and slashed with her two kusarigama causing Weiss's defenses to weaken ever so slightly and sometimes even landing hits. This tactic was incredibly effective and the heiress was slowly losing aura.

Nora was having very big problems. Her very powerful attacks that could one shot a team of training Huntsman or Huntresses was failing to do any sort of damage to Hazel. Every time she swung her weapon in hammer form at him, he simply blocked it with a forearm and pushed her away. When she tried her grenade launcher form he simply grabbed the grenades out of the air and crushed them. He would rarely attack her but every once in a while he would punch her away when she tried to attack him. These punches were few but incredibly powerful and were dropping Nora's aura significantly.

Ren hadn't been hit once yet. But he hadn't been able to hit his opponent either. Despite his increased efforts to hit Watts, the man was two quick. But the worst part was that the man wasn't even trying to fight back. He just dodged and smirked at Ren who was getting increasingly more annoyed but more importantly, tired. Watts was trying him out so much that it was taking its toll on Rens aura. So despite not being hit, he was losing just as much as everyone else.

Sun was getting the crap beaten out of him. He had fully underestimated his opponent when charging in and had paid for it dearly. Tyrian was maniacally bouncing him around and slicing at him periodically running Suns aura down. He could have been quicker and finished off Sun in a few minutes but he had decided to have some fun. In fact, for anyone fighting Watts, Hazel and Tyrian this was the case. They could have easily beaten their opponents but had decided to drag it out. By the time Jaune and Pyrrha had come out, Sun was covered in cut and bruises and his aura was at the end of its tether.

Finally, Ruby was clashing with Roman. Scythe against cane. She was doing markedly better then the others as she had gotten a weaker opponent but she wasn't doing very well either. Despite Roman usually being quite inadequate in battle, him almost dying had given him quite an adrenaline and an anger to spurt out. This was able to help him power himself up a little and get the upper hand against the young reaper. He had scored some well placed shots with the gun part of his cane and had been able to bludgeon Ruby a few times, lowering her aura a substantial amount. She had been able to fight back and get her own hits in, but she was starting to get weak and tired.

Jaune and Pyrrha watched the fights go one for a few moments before they exchanged looks and nodded. Then they both separated to help the ones in most trouble. Pyrrha went straight to Yang and aided the brawler by fending of Neo and allowing Yang to fully focus on Mercury. Jaune ran towards Ren and, unsheathing his sword, he swung at Watts's back. However, Watts sensed the approaching opponent and dodged quickly tutting a little as Jaune missed and stumbled over himself a little.

"Now thats not fair," Watts smirked as Jaune straightened up once more and turned to face him, "fight like a real Huntsman would. Face to face."

Jaune gritted his teeth. Beside him, Ren staggered to his feet and with some difficulty lifted his pistols. He was breathing heavily and sweating profusely. He gave Jaune a sidelong glance and laughed out, "He's too fast."

Jaune didn't respond and just kept glaring at Watts. Watts just continued to smirk at him, silently mocking him. Before either of them could make a move, they all heard a cry of agony and all heads turned to see Blake on her back on the floor. She was sporting a large gash on her forehead and her cat ears were bleeding from being smacked and cut at. Above her, Adam loomed, his longsword raised. His face was one of complete anger and he opened his mouth and roared at the cat faunus in front of him.

"WE COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING BLAKE! WE COULD HAVE RULED TOGETHER AND BROUGHT EQUALITY TO OUR RACE! I LOVED YOU! BUT YOU JUST HAD TO BE A FILTHY TRAITOR DIDN'T YOU? A DISGRACE TO YOUR KIND! I WILL BE DOING US A FAVOR BY SLAUGHTERING YOU RIGHT HERE!"

Blake cowered under him, moaning slightly. The fear she had felt going in was now all over her. Yang punched Mercury aside and screamed at Adam.

"YOU LEAVE HER ALONE YOU BASTARD!"

Adam ignored her and raised his longsword high. Yang tried to charge towards him but Mercury stopped her with kick to the back and sent her sprawling. Many of the others tried to aid their friend as well, only to be thwarted by the enemy.

"DIE!"

Adam brought down the blade and it cut right though Blake's skull. Blood gushed from the open cut to her head. The blood rushed out and covered her now pale and lifeless face.

There was a terrible silence as the group of Beacon students stared at their once quiet but strong comrade. Adam pull the blade out of Blake's skull and cleaned it with a relish. He laughed as he did so, ignoring the devastated shrieks from Blake's friends and the numerous death threats. He turned to face these people and to give them the same treatment when he heard a strange noise. A loud electronic whooshing sound behind him. He turned around and his mouth fell open.

There stood Blake, bleeding from the cuts that he had given her during the fight but not dead. She was completely alive and looking at him with the upmost of hatred. In her right hand she carried a small golden pocket watch.

"HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?" Adam asked, still at full volume.

Despite her anger and pain, Blake actually managed a small smile. She held up the gold pocket watch and said in a shaky voice. "You can always count on your friends saving you."

Before Adam could question her further he heard the same noise again behind him and whirled around to see a man in a red suit and red balaclava. Spy stood there glaring at the man before him for a second before unfolding his Australium Knife.

"I'm going to gut you like a Cornish game hen," he said, his voice dripping with venom. Adam raised his longsword but Spy was quick and slashed at his arm and he cried in pain and dropped his longsword. The cut had been so quick and powerful, it had been able to cut through the aura and inflict damage on Adam himself. Spy followed up with a quick slash to the face and then he pushed the surprised Adam and stabbed him in the back. If Adam hadn't had aura, he would have been killed from the backstab, however his aura had been broken from it and he was now completely vulnerable on the ground. Spy dusted off his suit and spat on the ground next to Adam.

At that moment, everyone else began to spring into action. Yang got up once more and clocked Mercury in the head so hard that he flew a full twenty meters before crashing to the ground. Pyrrha was able to push Neo back and knock her out with her shield. Weiss regained her composure and used her Ice Dust to freeze Emerald in place before propelling herself forward with a glyph and rammed into Emerald causing her to fall unconscious. Ruby was finally able to disarm Roman. She hooked her scythe around his waist and then used her semblance to ram him to a wall where he crumpled.

However, for Nora, Ren, Jaune, and Sun it wasn't so fortunate. Nora had turned back to face Hazel and had been immediately knocked out by a powerful punch to the gut. Ren called for her and ran to her but Watts caught up to him and with one powerful neck jab, he dropped Ren to the ground. Jaune charged towards Watts but Watts dodged and did the same to him. Meanwhile, Tyrian had finally had enough of Sun and decided to end him. With a powerful sideways slash with one of his writs blades, he sent Sun to ground. Then he got on top of him and raised both his wrist blades above him with a manic gleam in his eye.

But before he could start stabbing, he felt a strong pressure of air behind and it blew him off Sun. He flipped in the air and landed on his feet next to Watts and Tyrian to see a masked thing with a golden flamethrower staring at him. And behind it came the other mercenaries, all of them completely fine from their battle with the Grimm, Atlesian Soldiers, and White Fang and all loaded with their Australium gold weapons.

There was a short silence as the three remaining bad guys looked at the newcomers. Then Sniper looked around at the winded, beaten up, and even some unconscious bodies with a bemused look in his eye.

"What did we miss mates?"

Beside him, Medic spotted the unconscious and wounded students and rushed out towards them with his Australium Medi-Gun out. Tyrian made to move for him but the sound of Soldier, Demoman, Heavy cocking their weapons made him stop. Medic ran towards the unconscious figures of Jaune, Nora, Ren and Sun and trained his healing beam on each of them in turn. The moment he had finished with Sun he left the four of them to regain themselves to go heal the bloody and bruised Blake. Eventually he got around to all the students and refilled their aura to max, all the while his comrades kept the Hazel, Watts, and Tyrian from interfering. Though it seemed that weren't that interested in that anymore.

Watts regarded them with a calculated look before speaking up. "So you are these powerful over worldly fighters? I must say I am most impressed so far. Your espionage seems to be an expert in stealth and quick kills and your doctor has abilities that I have not even dreamed about." He observed as Medic healed Yang fully.

Hazel looked at Heavy's Australium Mini-Gun and asked with genuine curiosity, "How much does that weigh?"

Heavy was a little taken aback by this question but answered it nonetheless. "One hundred-fifty kilograms."

Hazel nodded his approval as Medic returned to his comrades. Soon all the students and Spy also joined him and the eighteen fighters of good stood before Hazel, Watts, and Tyrian.

Scout walked up, his smug smile plastered on his face. "So this is where you give up, eh?"

There was a small silence (Yeah I know I love doing small pauses and silences). Then Watts and Tyrian both burst into laughter. Hazel's expression didn't change but he shook his head slightly as he stared at the Bostonian. "I don't think you realize what has happened."

The group exchanged confused looks. Then Pyrrha suddenly gasped. "Professor Ozpin! Is he-"

As if on cue, the ground rumbled and Beacon tower began to shake violently. Suddenly a bright organ light burst through the academy and in one moment the entire tower exploded in an orange explosion. The debris fell all around them and the group had to dodge a few that had come their way. However, when the debris stopped falling, they had a much bigger problem.

Floating out of the remains of the prestigious academy was Cinder Fall, still cloaked in her aura and smiling joyfully of all the power she had attained and at her recent success. The defeat of Ozpin. Watts turned back to Scout and mimicked the Bostonians smug smile. "Does that answer your question boy?"

Before anyone could answer him, another series of violent tremors shook the ground. This time it wasn't exactly coming from Cinder. The source was a distant mountain. It was shaking the whole city. Then cracks began to appear on the surface of the mountain and from them, an ominous growling. Suddenly the mountain blew apart to reveal an enormous dragon like grim with a hard surface like armor and large leathery wings. It roared, making the ground shake again and then flapped its wings and flew towards the burning city. On the way black spots dropped from its belly and fell to the ground to form different types of Grimm.

The group of heroes were stunned as they watched the beast fly towards the city and draw out new screams of terror from the citizens. A harsh and cruel laugh tore them away from the scene. Cinder was laughing evilly as she saw her plan finally complete. Her mistress would be very pleased with accomplishments they had made. Meanwhile, Hazel had collected the unconscious bodies of Adam, Emerald, Mercury, Roman and Neo and placed them behind him, Watts and Tyrian.

Cinder continued to laugh as the dragon like Grimm descended on the city and blew fire at the city causing to burn even brighter. More screams and wails of agony and despair rang from the city, making the students's hearts break and there courage weaver. A few arrows were fired towards the dragon Grimm from a few brave archers, but it was to now effect (DAMN, THOSE ARCHERS ARE THE BEST DAMN RANGE IN CIVILIZATION VI). The mercenaries just looked at the evil doers with anger in their eyes. However, before they could spring into action a small but confident voice spoke up.

"You are a monster! Don't you feel anything for the people you are killing? For the families you are destroying?"

Cinder stopped laughing and looked down to see Ruby walk a few steps towards her and stare at up at her with tears in her eyes. Everyone else was also staring at her. It was very brave for someone to walk up to a floating godlike woman.

"Do you have any feelings towards those people?" Ruby repeated again. Cinder's expression hardened and she lowered to the ground and she looked directly at Ruby and spat on the ground.

"I do not care about those worthless people. They were scum just like and your stupid friends and your dear old Ozpin. It is a dawn of a new era. The one of our mistress. Salem! And our first sacrifice to her will be," she drew her bow and arrow out in a blink of an eye and drew the arrow back just before finishing, "you."

What happened next was so quick that it barely registered for some of the people there. Cinder let the arrow fly towards Ruby. Ruby was paralyzed with fear and grief. Behind her, her friends were screaming for her to move while trying to get to her themselves. But would not make it. They weren't fast enough. As the arrow board towards her, Ruby closed her eyes. She knew it was over. But she was happy that she had stood up for what was right before meeting her end.

She waited for the quick painful piercing of the arrow, but it never came. She tentatively opened her silver eyes and her heart dropped. The tip of the arrow was inches away from her. But it was protruding out the back of a saddle bag. The saddle bag that belonged to a certain Bostonian youth. She chocked out a small sob as she looked up at Scout. He had been the only one that could have saved her. His speed had been able to come in just in time. But for the ultimate price.

Scout turned to look behind him and he gave Ruby a small smile. "Thanks for changing me Rubes... thanks to everyone. I love you Yang. I love you my fellow mercenaries," his eyes fell on Spy in particular, "I love you dad."

And with that he closed his eye and evaporated into a golden light...

There was a long silence as the heroes of Remnant stared at the spot where one of the greatest speedsters had been.

Then all hell broke loose.

Yang fell to her knees and let out a guttural cry. The eight remaining mercenaries all roared in anger and somehow all became Übercharged and grit boosted. They all charged forward towards Cinder with the attention of bringing her to a painful death. Cinder tried to fend them off with a powerful blast of fire, but it did nothing and the mercenaries charged on and opened fire on her. She screeched in pain as the triple powered bullets tore through her massive aura and weakened her. Hazel, Watts and Tyrian tried to come and help but were easily swatted away by the livid mercenaries.

Meanwhile Ruby just stared at the spot where Scout had been. He had saved her life at the cost of his. He let his ego go and ran in to do the right thing. She turned to see her sister on the ground weeping her soul out. The other students were around her trying to comfort her but at the same time crying themselves. The death of such a loud mouth may have not been so effecting. But a loud mouth who was loyal, brave, kind to his friends, and a vital part of a team that was now incomplete. That was something more. It was then that it all struck Ruby and she began to go light headed.

Then the rage set in.

She turned towards and screamed an almighty cry. As she did her silver eyes flashed out into the darkening area around them and swallowed the twenty six individuals near in a silver light. Then all went black.


Ruby woke up to feel perfectly fine. She felt soft covers over her and didn't want to move. But she forced herself to. She forced her eyes open and looked around. She was in a small white room with wooden cubbies on each side and benches. Around the room, nine makeshift beds were set up. It was a bit of tight squeeze but it was manageable. Ruby recognized her friends lying in each one. She also noticed the eight mercenaries snoozing on the benches near the beds.

Thats when it all hit her. The invasion on Vale. The defeat of Ozpin. The destruction of Beacon academy. The release of the dragon Grimm. And the death of Scout...

She looked at her sister who was lying next to her and a tear trickled down her face. She was about to look away to wipe it off when she did a double take. Her jaw dropped. Her mind couldn't comprehend what she was seeing.

Next to her sister, sitting on a small chair was a familiar baseball cap wearing Bostonian. His eyes were closed and he wasn't moving, but he was defiantly breathing. Ruby rubbed her eyes hard and stared at the spot again to make sure she wasn't imaging things. He was still there. Before Ruby could check again, she heard a familiar voice.

"Your not imaging things Miss Rose."

She turned to see Spy yawning groggily and look at her. He seemed to be the same as always, but his eyes were slightly bloodshot and his suit was unusually ruffled and not straight. Ruby opened her mouth to ask but Spy put a finger to his lips.

"Lets us wait for everyone else to wake up. Then we can discuss. There is a lot to discuss and I would rather have everyone awake to hear it at the same time. Don't worry. They should be awakening any minute now since you did."

True to his word, after two minutes the rest of the students began to shift around in their beds and wake up. For a few minutes there was general confusion on where they were. They spotted each other and were incredibly happy to see each other alive. However, they all ended up doing the same thing. They all were staring at the now alive and well Scout. When Yang noticed her boyfriend alive and next to her she had woken him and all the other mercenaries up with a loud squeal of joy and had launched herself onto him. He looked bewildered for a second before realizing who was on him and he smiled and hugged Yang tightly.

"Your alive!" she said happily as she hugged him. Scout just chuckled a little. "Yeah, that arrow ain't enough to kill me. Well actually it did, but I gotta thank the respawn generator for still being connected to my essence."

Yang and the other students gave him confused looks. They had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. But before they could question him, Spy cleared his throat and everyone turned to him.

"So I understand that you all may have many questions what about where we are and Scout being alive. I will explain all of this now." He stood up and paced around the room.

"Ruby's silver eyes power somehow teleported us back to our world and more specifically, an old place we used to fight in called 2Fort. We are in the RED base of 2Fort at the moment. Upon arrival you all promptly fainted and have been out for a day and a half. During this time we have been able to gather much information that is unwelcome to say the least. Since our disappearance from Earth, the two brothers that were fighting over the piece of land left to them by their father were resurrected. The brother Blutarch Mann immediately reinstated his group nine BLU mercenaries who are if you remember the exact copies of us. They were able to beat back the robots that we were fighting before we were sent to Remnant and send the third brother Gray Mann packing. Afterward, Blutarch once again turned to the land that he and his brother had been fighting over and demanded it to be his. His brother, Redmond Mann who is our owner obviously complained and tried to find away to get his RED team back since we weren't on the planet. However at that convent time we return with eighteen newcomers. Yes I said eighteen. The nine evil doers from Remnant; Cinder, Emerald, Mercury, Adam, Roman, Neo, Hazel, Watts and Tyrian were teleported with us. However they appeared in the BLU base while we appeared here in our base. At first the Administrator, the woman that manages the fights between RED and BLU was going to execute you and the other nine in your sleep. However, a crazy idea formed that I will explain in a minute."

He took a deep breath and then gestured to Scout.

"To explain the return of Scout, you must remember the respawn generator that kept bringing us back to life overtime we died in battle. Well it seemed that even in another world, the respawn generator worked. Though it would have respawned Scout here instead of on Remnant. This basically means that if all nine of us had killed our selves the moment we had gotten in Remnant, we would have returned to Earth. But of course we didn't know if it would work. Scout was actually here when we arrived after the teleportation. And yes I am his father."

Scout groaned a little as Yang giggled a little. Spy continued.

"So now onto the most important piece of business. To keep you guys alive, you have all been hired to join Team RED. The same goes for the evil nine who were hired for Team BLU. You have all even been hooked up to the respawn generator just like us. But the catch is still to come. If you have not noticed yet, you have no aura and your weapons are not here with you."

This caused Ruby to freak out for second and search frantically for her beloved Crescent Rose. Yang leaped to her side and soothed her little sister and motioned Spy to go on.

"You have none of your previous abilities on Earth and so are quite ordinary. You most likely have some more strength then normal people due to your physical training, but special powers. But we have a solution for that. You will not be fighting how you used to fight. You are going to chosen by us to be a certain class."

He gestured around at his fellow mercenaries, "We are a class of fighter. Each of you will be doing the same class as one of us. All of you will be a different class than each other but will have one of us to relate to and teach you the perks of the class. You will be getting your weapons soon enough depending on your class. I will explain how the weapon rules work in this war. The evil guys will also be doing the same. In short, you are all going to become mercenaries."

There was a stunned silence as the students stared at the French espionage. He just smiled at their shocked expressions and took out a cigarette an began to walk towards the sliding gate at the entrance of the spawn room. The other mercenaries, including Scout also got up and made their way towards the exit. Scout gave Yang a quick kiss before joining his comrades.

As they were leaving, Spy turned around once more and said, "For now relax and regain yourselves. The fight between RED and BLU do not begin for a week. We need time to train you. And for now, we need to choose who will be our trainee." And with that he walked out and the sliding gate shut behind them.

Author Notes: Whew! What a rush! So yeah that how this is going. I will return them to Remnant eventually for Volume 4 and for them to defeat Salem. But I want to do some of this first.
