AN: Hi again guys here's your daily does of poorly written FanFiction. Um nothing really all that important happens besides Krauss meeting RWBY and Ozpin asking some questions. Oh before I forget Krauss will not be joining RWBY, his entrance exam will be giveing him some teammates that area little "Close to home". Um please give me a review, I need to know what I'm horribly butchering thanks.

After a few minutes the girls arrived. Ruby ,being well Ruby, practically flew through the door and nearly tackled Krauss in a hug. "Oh my Oum your ok !Youwerebleedingandyouwerentreally breathingandeveryonelesswasdead." Soon her speech became completely incomprehensible. "Um miss." Ruby looked up realized what she was doing and jumped away. "sorry!" She squeaked. "No harm done" with a slight clearing of the throat Krauss continued "I'd like to thank you all for saving me, I would have bled out in the Humvee if it wasn't for you. So If there is anything you need I'll see what I can do to help." Blake noticed That Krauss seemed almost frail with out all the extra bulk his gear gave him, and asked." Are you sure you should be up so soon, you lost a lot of blood." The team's faces Immediately fell at the memory of the blood soaked jeep. "I'll be fine. Six months ago I took a IED launched piece of rebar to the gut and look at me now." Krauss said reassuringly, well tried to say that is. No matter how you say it getting nearly killed isn't reassuring. "That doesn't seem possible." Stated Weiss. With a slight groan Krauss replied." Oh believe me I know damn medics almost didn't clear me for the drop. " he mockingly quoted" No Sargent, you can't jump out of a plane until your stomach works. 'Dicks'" "What drop?" Asked Yang. "Oh I'm part of the 101st Airborne." The girls looked at him questioningly. " That means instead of getting driven or walking into an AO we jump out of planes." Clarified Krauss. "But wouldn't put enormous stress on your aura?" asked Weiss. "Nope" answered Krauss."How? That's impossible!" Krauss smirked "Cause I nor any other member of earth possess it." The members of team RWBY were completely flabbergasted."Wait your from the moon? Professor are you sure he is ok?" Asked a skeptical Wiess." He is sound of mind miss Schee. He is not from the moon though. His planet is called Earth, and is currently experiencing a Third World War." Yang asked. "What how can you start a world wide war?" He answered "Useally by one man doing something incredibly stupid."Blake was puzzled. "Wouldn't that just bring the Grimm to your gates?" Krauss smirked."Nope, we don't have to worry about that." "How?" "There are no Grimm, haven't seen a single one before I got here." "Wow that sounds like a paradise." Said Ruby. "Believe me you have it much better, you had what, two major wars in the last thousand years, I can't even count how many we've had in the last hundred. World War One had nearly 40 million casualties. Twenty years later two had almost three times that."Looks of horror crossed the assembled girls. That was over a quarter of the population of Remnant."Monsters? You look to the wilds. I on the other hand look into the mirror." Krauss finished that statement with hint of bitterness in his voice. "How can you jump out of planes then that's like 200 feet up?" Asked yang" Um that's a pretty low altitude for a jump. I don't even think I could do that it's just too fast. I'm usually at 25000 feet for a HALO. Getting to the point we just use parachutes." Explained Krauss. "Ok, that sounds incredibly risky. Wouldn't you have to unequip yourself and gather your gear?" Stated Blake. "Yep, back when the airborne first formed, the chute would take two minutes to get off and another to assemble your rifle, that is if you knew what you were doing, now it's down to 90 seconds. And yes a lot of us die, we have the second highest casualty rate next to EOD techs, but it's worth it." The girls looked at him questioningly " Explosive Ordnance Disposal." Answered Ozpin. "They are in charge of any explosives, that include defusing them." Krauss raised an eyebrow at the headmaster. Ozpin winked back. He turned back to the girls. "Any ways before I part paths to take care of some matters with Ozpin I'd like to know your names. " "oh I'm Yang Ruby's older sister." 'Sisters? My brother and me don't look similar but still.' "Weiss Schnee" 'What? Why is she named white snow, it's fitting but still.' Pondered Krauss. "Ruby Rose! At your service." 'You seem a bit young.' "Blake." "Nice to meet you all. As for me Sergeant (Wilhelm)William Krauss. Though I mainly go by Krauss I'll respond to Sergeant and dumbass too." Finished Krauss as a smile ghosted over his face. Ozpin stepped up." I believe it is best if your rest now. I have some things to go over with Mr Krauss." Yang turned around to Ruby to discover was a sleep in one of the chairs. "I think that's a good idea professor. come on guys let's go I'm exhausted." And so with their unconscious leader team RWBY made their retreat.

Krauss looked looked through his bag and pulled out a strange looking contraption. "What is that device Krauss?" Asked Ozpin. Finding a small cord leading out, Krauss plugged it into a cell phone he had pulled from a separate pouch on the bag." This little beauty here is a antenna I made out of some old cans and a car battery I rigged to charge my phone or in most cases our field radio." Lifting the combined apparatus near an open window, Krauss shifted it so it could rest on the window sill."And I think I have a signal! Witch I really have yet to figure out how this even works." Stated a very puzzled Krauss. Ozpin inspected the homemade antenna, which appeared to be two paint cans and was held together with large amounts of duct tape and solder. "And what do you intend to do with that scroll?" Krauss looked up. "Um call my parents, tell them I'm not KIA. Probably my brother too, the prick needs to have his dreams squashed." after getting several error messages, Krauss Looked through settings. Ozpin glanced at his watch. "it is now one in the morning. I was wondering if you would like to get some rest and continue the next day?" "Oh I didn't think of jet lag. I'll see if I can get some rest, thank you for your hospitality." Ozpin walked out of the room and flipped a light switch, and the room descended into a gloom. Krauss looked around and uttered "Imperator servabunt me quia dereliquit me." As he placed his hands over his heart in the shape of the Aquilla. After his small plea, he drifted off to sleep.

The following day and night passed before Krauss woke. After showering and changing into a fresh uniform he went to see Ozpin again. After being bounced through the head nurse and Glynda, he arrived in Ozpin's office. He walked up to the cogdesk (its a desk and there's cogs everywhere.)and saluted. "Sir you requested my presence." Ozpin sighed. "Please I am not your commanding officer you have no need to salute, please have a seat." Dropping the salute, Krauss sat down. "What is it that you require sir?" "Since you are new in this world I would like to appoint someone as a guide for you would act as a shadow to them. For the days after you are cleared that is." Krauss thought about it for a second. "Who would you pick for these duties?" " Most likely team RWBY." Krauss looked at Ozpin directly in the eye."What's other purpose do you have?" Ozpin blinked." You're more perceptive than you look. I was hoping you could help them cope with your arrival, opening a HUMVEE ,was it, to find four dead men is a bit past what anyone here is trained for." Krauss leaned forwards in his chair." So I'm supposed to act like a shrink for them." "Eh yes I hope you understand." "I'll do it, they're still kids, they should not have to deal with that." Krauss got up to leave and walked to the door. He paused as if remembering something. "Sir I would like to ask you if you could make a set of flags, as I understand it Hammer 2-3 has yet to be buried." Ozpin looked up " I presume this is some tradition with service members?" "Yes usually there's a three volloy salute too, but I'm the only one left." "I can get those flags made, what would they look like?" Krauss reached to one of the patches on his shoulder and ripped the Velcro off. On it lied the the greyscaled colors of the United States. "Fifty white stars on a field of blue, thirteen stripes, seven red, six white. One for each casket." " Ozpin looked at patch and nodded."I'll see it done. Your men will see their final respects." Krauss let out a breath neither noticed he was holding."Thank you so much. I'll take my leave now I wasn't really cleared yet." Ozpin simply nodded.
