Having found out the cause of the jam in my Silencer, (A dud round having failed to eject from the weapon being the cause). I carefully removed the stuck bullet inside, and pulled the slide, feeding another round into the chamber. I placed the Silencer and my gas mask beside my backpack, and prepared to go to sleep.

I went to my backpack, and checked my Round Recovery Module. It's like a small printer that produces new bullets in about two bullets in a minute. The newly developed round drops to a canister installed underneath the printer, able to hold as much as a ninety bullets at a time, about three magazines worth of ammunition. More than enough bullets that I usually waste during a day... well, considering how tough the hide of the beast I have seen earlier is, it wouldn't be enough. But .45 ACP rounds are slightly weaker than 9x19mm armor-piercing tungsten rounds, so who knows? Maybe the Silencer might be more effective.

I usually activate it during my sleep, due to it being prone to explosion when shook continuously if activated, launching shrapnel in high velocity, lethally affecting me and other bystanders near me. I turned it on, and went straight to sleep.

Well, that's what I did yesterday. Now, I'm fully awake in three o'clock in the morning, having jolted up back into consciousness by a collapsing sinkhole that eroded in front of the building I slept in.

I first checked my RRM, which malfunctioned sometime during my sleep. It only produced a sufficient amount rounds, about seventy six or so. I placed the surplus rounds into a special compartment on my bag, containing about two hundred rounds or so. I only have four magazines for my Silencer, and six magazines for my pistol, which was given the name Spectre, by it's designer.

I counted my rounds, a hundred and twenty rounds for the Silencer, plus the two hundred and seventy rounds in my bag. Two magazines made for the Silencer containing forty-seven Void ammunition are placed in the magazine pouch in my vest. Forty-two rounds for the Spectre, plus a few more in the surplus compartment.

I checked equipment, counting to six APSDs, two Arcane Grenades, two knives, and my gas mask.

I loaded some of the bullets in my magazines, and placed them inside pouches on my pants. I holstered my pistol on my vest, and wore my mask back on. It took a while for the cameras to start, but when they did, I started to go out.

Yes, I was very vulnerable to electromagnetic weaponry. One pulse is enough to fry my mask, temporary making me blind, but what are the chances someone's actually going to use one in here? Judging from the ruins, people here could just be scavengers, looking for food and water to survive! There is no actual way that they would use highly advanced technology...right?

Limping my way outside the building, I then saw a large sinkhole, just outside the building I slept in, almost big enough to swallow a small car. A small dog currently stood near the edge of the hole, looking down as it barked. It's owner must've fell in.

I hid behind the metal beams of the old building, waiting for the dog to go away. After a few seconds of waiting, the dog fled, possibly to go get some help. I then took action, and went near the large sinkhole. I looked down below, and saw nothing but a flat surface.

I went back in the building where I had left my bag, and looked around if there was anything that could help me get down. After minutes of searching, I had no success. I began to search inside my backpack. I checked every pocket, and found nothing.

Well, not entirely nothing.

I found some old gear that I had brought in with me, at the first time I got in this mess. I pulled out a large, elliptical disk. It was silver, and was smooth to the touch. It was the size of the old disks they used in the twenty-first century. What was it called again?

Nevermind. I brushed the bottom part of the disk, removing some of the dust that piled on top. Words were engraved, printed in black. It was my old Kinetic Barrier Motherboard. Well, I won't be writing it's use here; it's broken.

It broke when I was trying to fight an insanely large army of women, gifted with telekinesis. Their power simply overloaded the motherboard in under ten seconds and it stopped working ever since. Well, before they could shred me to pieces, I warped out of there.

Deeper inside my backpack, I saw a device that looked like a flat square, with an antenna attached on to top. It was attached inside my backpack, making it almost impossible to remove. Ah, the Scrambler Relay.

Another device had shown itself to me, the Subterfuge. It was like a small hard drive, which I would use to connect to the metal arm band I mentioned earlier.

But like the Motherboard, the two slowly wore themselves out after years of continuous use.

Well, there are numerous more gadgets I'm currently carrying right now, but I'll just write all of those later. Backup could arrive at any moment, making me lose my chance to investigate the strange sinkhole.

I took the Motherboard and the Subterfuge and placed them back in the bag. Same goes for the RRN. I then checked the other rooms, and finally, I found a long rope.

I then went back outside, and tied the rope to some rusty metal beams as tight as I could, and dropped the rope into the opening.

I prepared to lower myself, but then I noticed a strange object lying beside the gap. It's appearance makes it look more like a large rifle, but it looked too bulky to become a practical one. I stared at the rifle for a few seconds, before climbing down.

Holy shit.

The view is exhilarating! A massive underground settlement, just underneath the ruins! I slide down the rope much more quicker, and landed on the flat surface I saw earlier. I winced as pain suddenly shot up from my left leg. "Fuck!" I cursed silently, as I held my broken leg. I forgot that it broke when I was fighting the black thing yesterday. I looked back up, and saw the light shining down from the gap. God, if anyone were to fall down this hole, the best thing that could happen to him is only a broken leg or two. Worst case scenario? Death.

I hope that whoever fell in here is alright.

I looked around, finding myself on top of a building. There wasn't any possible way to get off, except for a door standing not far away from me. I took my Silencer, and held it with my right hand. I went nearer, moving slowly as I continued my way towards the door. I slowly reached the door with my left hand, while I held the white rifle at my right.

I pushed the door slowly, creating a slight slit for me to see. The only things I could make out from the other side were numerous masked men piloting large mechs and carrying metal object around.

"What the fuck?" I said, looking around more. I then slowly closed the door, and stood back. "Now, how the hell am I going to get in?"

Suddenly, I heard voices from the surface. "Shit!"

"Hey, did anyone already tie that rope over there?" I looked around, looking for some way to hide myself from them.

"Someone must've seen Ruby, and went in to rescue her!" Shit, shit. What should I do?

"No, they had no absolute reason to rescue Ruby. Maybe Ruby got out by herself?" Ah, God! Why am I taking too long to hide!?

I considered for a moment that I could hang onto a ledge while they pass by me. I went to the edge of the building, and looked below. It was ten stories tall, even only thinking about it makes me nauseous. I looked around me for another hiding spot.

Behind the boulders? Nah, the rocks are too big for me to push, and the space between it and the stone wall are too small. The best I could do is cover my arm behind the wall and hope they didn't see me. I looked up, and saw them looking down at the hole.

Shit! I went to the darkest place that I could stand in, hid my Silencer inside my cloak, and stood still. I prayed to whoever is currently watching me right now that they wouldn't see me. One by one, they went down the hole. They didn't even need the rope! They just jumped down, like they do it everyday per the norm.

'Hey girls, what did you all do today?'

'Oh, I don't know mom, just jumping down extremely deep holes. The usual.'

I stood still, trying not to bring attention to myself. My dark gray cloak hid me pretty well. One by one, they went down the hole, landing right in front of me. They chatted about finding Ruby, whoever she is. The blonde haired one looked back at the hole, and raised her hands up. "Zwei!"

'The fuck is she doing, some sort of good luck ritual or something?' I thought, staring at her as she continued to raise her hands for a few seconds. The dog dropped in her arms afterwards, looking at me as it snuggled comfortably in her arms. She placed the dog on the ground, as she spoke with her other companions. The dog went near me, and sniffed at my leg. I continued to stay still, trying not to alert the four people standing just meters away from me.

The dog barked at me, causing the four to look at my direction. "What is it, Zwei?" I began to tremble, the pressure making it extremely harder to stand still. 'Fuck this stupid animal!' The fucking dog continued to bark at me, making the yellow haired one walk towards me. "Look, there's no one here." She then waved her hand in front of me, accidentally hitting my mask.

"Augh! Fuck!" I grunted, causing everyone to get their weapons. The camera temporarily lost connection, only showing me static. I hit my mask a few times, trying to fix the broken line. After regaining sight, I looked up, to see the four having pointed their weapons at me.

"Woah, woah, woah!" I backed away, trying to keep away from them as far as possible. I finally reached the edge, and almost lost my footing. They all went near, still holding their swords, gauntlets...and whatever the hell that guy is holding.

"Who are you, and why are you spying on us?!" The one with the black bow shouted at me.

"Look, I wasn't trying to hurt you guys or anything, honest!" I raised my hands, trying to show to them that I wasn't hostile.

My hands then knocked the cloak off me, showing them my weapons. They became more suspicious, jumping back the second they saw my weapons.

"Get behind me, girls." The one with the glasses spoke, as he pointed his unusual weapon at me.

I looked down, and saw the plethora of equipment attached to my vest. "Wait, no! I can explain!" I said, trying to assure their trust into me.

"Why are you here?" The white one said, pointing a sword at me. It's actually very similar to a rapier, the thin blade reducing wind resistance, helping the wielder swing the sword in quick speed. "Have you come for Ruby?!"

I raised a brow. "I don't even know who the hell you're talking about!" I said. I looked at the people in front of me. 'Hm...they look familiar.'

I then recognized them. They were the same group that saved me from the attack! Yeah, white, black, and yellow! I'm guessing that Ruby's with the black and red clothing. The scythe wielder. "Hey, weren't you guys the one who fought the large black beast beside the wall?"

"Don't change the question! Have you come for Ruby?!" The yellow one asked, pumping her fists, actually loading something into her gauntlets. It sounded like a shotgun, which made me even more confused.

"Just answer the fucking question."

"What, a Beowolf?" So that's the name of the beast. I wonder why that name popped up in my mind the first time I saw it, though. "We've encountered a few yesterday, but yes, I might've remembered a time where we fought a large one beside the border wall."

"You guys rescued me from that Beowolf! I was lying beside the wall, bleeding to death!" I said, causing the man with the glasses to look closer at me. The other three continued doing their power pose or something.

"Oh! Yes, yes!" He said, somehow turning his weapon into a coffee cup. "I have seen you limp from the wall, trailing blood to a nearby fire! So it was you all along!"

"Wait, you saw me?" I asked, becoming less tense.

"My dear boy, I have followed you!" The man said, displaying eccentric behavior.

"Then why the hell did you ignore me?" I said, "I was-"

"Dying, yes! But I was curious on who were you at that time. For all we know, you could be a new species of Grimm!"

"Grimm?" I asked. "The fuck are Grimm?"

This made everyone suspicious. "Even the most sheltered people know what Grimm are." The man with the glasses said, as he went nearer. "You're not from here, aren't you?"

"Uh…" I looked around, nervously. "Ye-"

I was then interrupted. "Also, your aura would protect you from attacks, even from a swipe of a Beowolf's paw." The blonde one said. "Why didn't it work?" She then looked at my back. "Also, what's your semblance? Judging from your attire, you must have experienced combat...well, at least."

"Aura? Semblance?" I said, confused.

"What?" The white one spoke. "You don't know what an Aura means?"

"I don't think I have one."

"Nonsense! Every living creature has an aura!" The man went near, and touched me in the forehead.

"Maybe he's like the Atlas soldiers, only trained to use guns and other types of fancy weaponry." The yellow one said, pointing at the Silencer.

"You don't call those weapons fancy?" I said, pointing at their unreal weaponry.

"I still don't trust him, he must be a spy or something." Black said, glaring menacingly at me.

"A spy for the White Fang? Oh please." The white one said. "If he was wearing white, then I would consider the possibility."

"Like you?" I said, causing her to look at me.

"Yeah, Weiss." The yellow one spoke. "How do we know that you don't secretly work for the White Fang?"

"Oh, please! I am not like the ruffians they are!" She said, causing black to slightly get annoyed by her.

Meanwhile, Glasses kept touching me in all places he could put his hands on. God, please, tell me this man isn't gay or anything. "Oh… oh dear." Glasses said, displaying shock and fear.

"What is it, Doctor Oobleck?" The black one asked.

"Ooh-blecque?" I asked, snickering at the name.

"I sense no aura in him."

"What?!" Weiss went near, and looked at me. "There must be something, anything!" She said, placing her hand on my chest. I just stood there, with a blank look at my face.

"Boy, you might be the first thing we've seen without a soul." Oobleck said, adjusting his glasses.

"Technically, that makes him a Grimm." Black said, with an emotionless voice.

"Wait, you're not from here, are you?" White asked.

"For the second time, yes." I said, stretching my arms.

"Where did you come from?" White said, "Let me guess, Vacuo? Atlas? Mistral?"

"No, I didn't come from any of those." I simply said.

"Maybe you live at the outskirts. Some people do that, I just don't know why-" I interrupted her.

"I am not of this world, let alone from any of those places." They paused, before breaking down into laughter. Well, except for the black and white one. She always stared at me like I was going to attack at any moment.

Well...I could, if they didn't have any weapons with them.

While everyone (Except Black over there) laughed their assess off, the doctor looked like he was thinking deeply, lost in his thoughts. "Of course, it all makes sense!" He suddenly shouted, causing me to flinch, and slip.

I almost fell off the building, if it wasn't for blondie. She caught me before I fell and pulled me back up. "Thanks." I said, feeling lightheaded.

"Sorry." Oobleck said, before continuing on his discussion. "With him being from another world, he is not native to Remnant! That's how he didn't know about Aura, Grimm, or the Huntsmen and Huntresses!"

"Huntsmen and Huntresses?" I asked.

Ignoring me, he continued. "That's also the reason why he has not been naturally given with Aura!" The doctor said, being even more hyperactive. "Yes, yes! That makes his body unable to protect itself when he was attacked by the Beowolf yesterday!"

As he continued blabbering obvious facts, I scooted over to the three girls. "Is he always like this?"

"As-a-matter-of-fact, yes." Yellow said. "It's because of his bottomless coffee cup."

"Does he ever sleep at night?" I asked, staring at the hyperactive doctor.

"Nobody knows." Weiss said.

"Hm, so what are your names?" I asked, causing them to look at me questionably.

"We still don't trust you enough for us to give you our names." Blake said, still holding her sword. It looks a lot like a katana.

"You've already unintentionally given me some of your names." I said, pointing at white over there. "Weiss." I then pointed at the doctor, which was still sputtering neverending facts. "Oobleck."

They sighed. "Fine. My full name is Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company." They have companies for dust here? It was weird, but I decided to go with the flow.

"I'm Yang Xiao Long, half-sister of Ruby Rose." Half-sister? Maybe they have different mothers or something?

Meanwhile, the black one stayed silent. "She's Blake Belladonna, a once member of the White Fang." Yang helpfully explained.

"So, what the hell is the White Fang, actually?" I asked once more.

"The White Fang is a faunus controlled organization-"

I then interrupted her. "Faunus?" I asked, causing them to get confused at first.

"Oh, yeah. You're not from here, right?" Yang said, clearing her throat. "Faunus are one of the two intelligent creatures occupying Remnant. They're very similar to humans, albeit having animal resemblance."

"So...they're like people, mixed with animal parts?" I asked, trying to clarify.

"Something like that, yes." Weiss said.

"Seems alright to me." I said, causing Blake to look at my direction.

"What's the full name of the insane guy over there?" I asked once more.

"He's Doctor Bartholomew Oobleck. He's kind of our Huntsman in charge." Blake said, before I got surprised once more by the slightly unstable doctor.

"-and that's why you need to brush your teeth every night!" The doctor finished, pointing at me.

"I...what?" I asked, causing the doctor to take a deep breath.

'Oh God! He's going to start all over again!' Thinking of a way to make him stop, I finally thought of something. "Hey, what about Ruby?"

They finally remembered, and Oobleck then blabbered. "Oh, how could I have forgotten! Ruby, we're coming for you!"

Weiss went straight for the door, but Oobleck thought of another way. "No, it would take too much time! We must hurry down!"

And he jumped off the building.

A ten story building, a hundred meters tall.

And without any show of pain, he landed with precision, creating a crater beneath his feet. The other three jumped, leaving large craters as they landed on the ground.

"Just, what are these people?!" I said, looking down below. "Nope, nope, nope." I headed for the door. Just as I had held the door, I suddenly remembered that I had my Quantum.

I got up to the surface and went inside the building one last time. I took my backpack, went back down, and looked around me. I calibrated the Quantum, and looked down on the cavern floor. "Here goes nothing."

The crazy part about this, is that I need to be close to my target destination in order to teleport. About twenty meters, actually. Judging from the jump, and how fast I'm going to fall, that would mean I only have a few seconds to pull this off.

If I miss the mark, I would fall to a slow, agonizing death. My medical syringes wouldn't be able to save me, either.

Oh, did I already tell you about my emergency drugs? Well, the A4-H Syringes contain a good amount of small, microscopic robots. They would attach themselves into the wound, and clot themselves, stopping the bleeding. They would then secrete antiseptics, which would deal with any infection that has already started in the wound.

Well, the only problem is, the nanobots are only programmed to deal with cuts, lacerations, gunshot wounds, internal or external wounds, and the like. Broken bones and crushed organs are way out of the nanobots' medical expertise. If I were to plummet into the cold, hard ground...then that's it.

I'm done for.

I took a few steps back, and took a deep breath. "I'm going to fucking die, and become a pancake as I hit the ground."

I then stopped to think.

'Hey, should I follow these guys?'

'I don't have anything to do in here anyway.'

I started to run, gaining speed, my left leg aching every time it hit the ground. I charged towards the edge, and leapt.

Day Two - 4:23am, Remnant.
