two days later bullhead transport.)

Ruby stood in front of the lightly armored bullhead, she looked to see her team, with JNPR, CFVY, and CRDL with a battalion of troops like she was promised she looked around and was shocked to see how many people a battalion actually way Ruby leaned over to Weiss " this is a lot more people than I thought." She said " why?" Weiss asked Ruby rolled her eyes and stood up. and got three attention.

" ALRIGHT NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTECTION WE CAN GET READY TO GET OFF, NOW UNFORTUNATELY I DIDNT EXPECT THIS MANY PEOPLE, SO MANY OF YOU WILL HAVE TO CROSS OVER FROM DIFFRENT SECTIONS TO FIT IN THE TRANSPORT, AS WE ONLY HAVE 4 bullheads, ALL NAMES I CALL will take the first transport, Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, Ren, Coco, Velvet, Fox, Yatsuhashi, Cardin, Russell, Dove, Sky, Yang, and Weiss all take transport one, Jaune will lead the ground forces, Pyrrha, Coco, Velvet, Weiss, Yats, and Fox will stay back. And act as support and move in to countine the final push. Team one will be accompanied with ½ of the forces as well as support while the other half will stay back with Pyrrha and act with them, the ½ legion will take transport 2,

I will take the group of marksmen and we will take the upper ridge in the first den I will take transport 3 the rest take hold in transport four! Any questions?" Ruby asked she looked around and saw none. " THEN LETS GO!" She said as she got everyone loaded up.

( forever fall)

In a serene part of the forest birds were chirping, and all was calm when all of a sudden 4 bullheads fly over the treelines, there engines screaming as they move the first doors open to reveal Ruby and the snipers the one across from her reveal her team with Weiss and Pyrrha , and the other, behind her is the other door with teams CRDL and Nora, the last one is revealing as Blake and the other battalion,

Ruby looked down and saw the group of beowolf's Ruby looked opout " Pilot lower us down on the ridge!" Ruby said " FOLLOW THEM DOWN!" Jaune ordered as the planes lowered " LZ's a little hot sir." The pilot said " DOSENT MATTER!" Jaune said as he jumped out. Ruby right on the ledge like she should with her snipers as the rest charged. All was going to plan.

Down on the ground Nora and yang were having a contest about who could kill the most. The vale troops firing at everything. They could, " focus fire on the heavy alphas," and keep the grimm off the group the best you can." Ruby called

After 30 minutes most of the nest was clear when a suddenly loud screech was heard Ruby looked up to see a giant nevermore. Screeching she looked up to see the nevermore, and saw they nevermore and the scroll Ruby looked down to see it to be Weiss, "RUBY WHAT ARE WE TO DO!?" She said " WE CANT HANDLE THAT IT MAKES THE NEVERMORE WE FOUGHT IN THE FOREST LOOK LIKE A JOKE!" Blake said " THE NEVERMORE IT MAKES THE DRAGON LOOK LIKE A JOKE?!" Yang cried. " WELL KEEP FOCUSES ON THE NEVERMORE, YOU DESTROY THE NEST!" Ruby ordered. When the roar of engine's were heard everyone looked up to see the meadium armored bullhead shoot forward firing at the nevermore. It banked left as the nevermore fired a slew of feathers,

" where the hell did that VTOL come from I thought we only had 4?!" Weiss asked " doesn't matter " you five keep focused on the ground forces " WEISS, BLAKE, YANG BRAKE OFF WERE DEALING WITH THE NEVERMORE!" Ruby said as she jumped down the sheer cliff using the recoil to slow down and killed a beowolf that was unfortunately enough to be under her. That was about to kill Cardin. She looked at him he nodded " we'll pick up the skack and give you the opening to get you in the air," he said Ruby nodded before yelling behind her " JAUNE MOVE UP!"

From behind a massive boulder was turned to pebbles as the second wave of humans invaded Jaune held his sword " Charge!" He yelled as everyone shot forward, Ruby smiled seeing the action and noticing how well Jayne has changed from the timid baff boy to warrior. Cardin interrupted her daydream " GET MOVING I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG WE CAN KEEP THE WINDOW OPEN!" He said

Ruby looked and nodded " LET'S GO TEAM RWBY!" She said as she sped off. Weiss Blake and yang high on her tail. Ruby hopped on the tree and used a recoil shot to get her up on the wing. Weiss used a gravity glyph with Blake while yang...well she did her own thing.

After all four were on the transport Weiss used a glyph to anchor them down " what do we do with this one?" Blake asked " I'll keep the nevermore off us from the rear Blake yang take dorsal positions Weiss stay below and keep up still were going to be performing high speed maneuvers." Ruby yelled over the wind. Thankfully everyone heard her and got in posiction. " NEVERMORE AT 7:00!" Yang said "I SEE IT WEISS GET BELOW!" Ruby said before she fired four rounds at the bird.

Each round missed but it did its job to disturb the nevermore from attacking. It screeched in anger, as Ruby looked around to see a flock of 34-40 little nevermors following them " AH SHIT WERE GOING TO BE BUSY!" Ruby yelled yang and Blake looked back just in time before the little nevermores fired along with the elder, Blake and yang were thankful for the glyphs as the bullhead took a swan dive just missing the feathers Ruby fired at the birds to kill counting off her kills " 4,5,6,7,8,9. Reloading!" She yelled as he changed clips Blake and yang fired to buy her time " 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19!" Yang counted off before it turned to a fun compitision " 22,23,25,or it is 24?,26,27,28!" Blake said.

The bullhead banked a U turn and charged headfirst to the elder nevermore, as it released it feathers. " A FEATHER JUST KILLED THE PILOT EJECT! EJECT!" Weiss said as she switched the glyphs from gravity to pulpousion shooting her teammates off she followed just in time as the bullhead crashed into the bird. With a massive explosion.

Ruby and her team landed and looked up cheerful that they killed the beast as it was engulfed in the explosion. When the smoke cleared the elder nevermore flew out unharmed " OH COME ON WHAT IT TAKE TO KILL THIS THING?!" Weiss cried. " you got better at summoning?" Yang asked " not good enough and actually Ruby killed the nevermore so I didn't get the form, not that it would help." Weiss said when she was tackled by her partner " MOVE!" She yelled just dodging the rain of sharp pointy objects raining from the sky.

( gryphon)

Gryphon entered the office and was talked to by Ozpin, " we got reports of a elder nevermore, in forever fall, It send't the bullhead down," Ozpin said. He got no further as he saw gryphon leave.

" sir what are you going to-?" Phlox asked as he followed gryphon who stomped out the school bent down and threw his wings open, he shot off into the sky. Towards forever fall " well." He thought.

( on the ground forever fall)

Jaune looked around to see they were getting there ass kicked, and the nevermore wasn't helping. " damn it we might need to pull out-"

Jaune was cut off when a second roar was heard and the transport bullheads flew over head and started opening fire " WHO CALLED IN THE TRANSPORT!?" He called the other's shrugged when Jaunes scroll rang,

" this is bullhead 40 on course of combat pattern 12 we need to have a -oh shit!" The pilot cried as Jaune looked up to see the bullhead smacked by the wing of the elder nevermore and crash into the ridge holding the snipers killing 3 of them. The other the other two rolled out of the way in time but by no means unscathed. One was firing over to the ridge and seeing the army of beowolf's pooling off.

Jaune looked up again to see the bullheads stuck in dogfights with the tiny nevermores, the larger nevermore was not even touched, he looked back with his team to see Ren stabbing a beowolf before cutting off the head, Jaune turned around and blocked a heavy strike and slid back he looked over his shield and saw the reasion it was such a heavy strike " RUBY I THOUGHT YOU TOLD ME THIS WAS ONLY A BEOWOLF NEST!?" He said " It is!" Ruby argued, " THEN HOW IS THERE A ARMY URSA KNOCKING ON MY DOOR!?" He called

Ruby snapped her head back to see it was in fact true. 30 ursa were heading for them, " Jaune reposition at your own will!" Ruby said before she constructed fire at the nevermore,

Jaune looked and moved orders " you lutenate cptake command of the troops my team will handle the ursas, Cardin! Keep them safe!" Jaune said Cardin nodded before raising her mace above his head and bellowing " MY TEAM CHARGE!" He yelled Jaune looked over to see coco firing and mowing at everything she could see, velvet cowering behind her using her hand to hand " COCO GIVE VELVET THE ORDERS TO HANDLE THE NEVERMORE!" Jaune said " Jaune!" Coco argued but Jaune didn't have time " NOW!" He said before turning around and vaulting over Pyrrha and stabbing a beowolf Pyrrha head to the choke point and handle the ursa!" Jaune said as his team headed over CRDL taking positions, as they moved over Jaume go a really gruesome picture of a vale trooper getting his hands ripped off and killed by them, " that's no fun." Jaune said as he was tackled to the side by Pyrrha, he looked up to see why, pyrrha saved him from a ursa slice.

" thanks!" Jaune said when he looked at the nevermore team RWBY and now velvet were working with, " Jesus how much can that thing take she used both Coco's and penny's weapons." He said " the nevermore had gotten a thinker neck so it's harder to behead, one of the only flawless ways to kill them." Pyrrha pointed out. As she and Jaune blocked hits from ursa's and stabbed them in the arms.

( Ruby)

Yang, Blake and Weiss were pinned down yang and Blake giving covering fire while Weiss uses her glyphs to boost their powers. Ruby took a glance to see another bullhead falling. But not towards the main force, and toward her team. And the worse thing happened, the bullhead landed in a tree and a branch got stuck in the engine's making it unstable and blow up. The shards of the ship went flying, towards her teammates, and one of the larges pieces falling towards Weiss. Ruby dashed forward and smack the steel away saving her teammate from a painful death,

Ruby looked up and sighed, and fired at the ground forces, and looked to see many many more grimm " holy shit how many of these things are there?!" Jaune yelled. " enough so shut it jauney-boy!" Cardin yelled as he slammed his mace on the ground making the earth uproot Yates swung around in a circle. As fox elbowed a ursa,

Jaune sighed seeing he had a few seconds to relax before a loud 'SCREECH!' was heard over head Jayne looked up and cried to the heavens thinking it was a second dragon and the universe was fucking with him " REALLY FUCKING REALLY!?" He yelled "SCREECH!" Jaune looked up to see the elder nevermore fly off

Ruby heard the screech and stopped " RUBY WHAT ARE YOU?!" " SCREECH!" " wait...what was that?" Blake asked everyone stopped to see the nevermore flying at them " oh shit!" Yang cried about to throw herself in front of her sister only for a white blur to slam into the bird first, sending it flying. " what?!" Weiss cried " but its?!" Blake asked stumbling over for words, " gryphon!" Ruby cheered,

Gryphon stabbed his right hand nails extended into the chest of the nevermore, before pushing the bird off with his open hand, " go and take command of the ground forces they saw you coming and have sent the vanguard head to the locaction and cut off the head just liked planned, I'll deal with the nevermore!" Gryphon yelled as he jumped out of the way to avoid a feathery smack.

" let's go!" Ruby said as she jumped down to assist jaune. " he lept over his crouched body and down cut a beowolf, rolled under a ursa cut, before swing her scythe around knocking the legs out from under it readjusting her scythe to have the blade infront of the bear's neck and fired the 50. cal gun.

" we got to push through anymore time waisted here and we will only lose ground!" Ruby said as she looked to the ledge she abandoned to see the two snipers holding off the waves of grimm on the other side, she reloaded her rifle with explosive rounds, " HEADS UP WAVE FIFTY INCOMMING!" She yelled " wait what do you mean by-?" A soldier said as Ruby fired, the round hit a few inches down from the top of the face and exploded making all the grimm on top fall off " of course you would." Jaune said Cardin tapped him in the shoulder " cheer up man, the more you fight the better your skills get." He said as he charged, Jaime sighed before following, coco wa firing her chaingun with velvet next to her doing the same,

In the air gryphon landed on a tree before jumping out as the tree was smashed by feathers, he could hear the nevermore growl "heimska manna, þú skáhalli slá mig, því Grimm hækki" ( foolish human you can't beat me the grimm will rise!) he said gryphon didn't care he launched forward pulling his hand back, and slamming in for a punch, only it wasn't a punch that landed, it was a fur paw. The nevermore screeched again and pulled away "Skepnan þín!" ( you bastard!) he screamed as he watched gryphon turn into his true form the majestic white wings off of his golden furred body. And eagle head. With a majestic roar gryphon charged. The nevermore despite the fact of its rage wanted to life and therefore fled, but gryphon was right on his tail. " don't think I would let you get away did you?" He asked and he slammed the bird from above and knocked the beast dow it landed in a clearing and was about to take off again when gryphon slammed on him the nevermore looked around and started to peck furiously trying to force gryphon to pull away but gryphon only opened his beak and clamped down on the nevermores. As it helplessly struggled gryphon gave it a mercy kill despite the fact it deserved far worse, he shrank down to human form and looked to see the humans fighting the grimm hoard which has been lowered from over 10,000 grimm to only 23.

Once the last grimm was killed, a vale trooper named, wickwork made the last kill and was congratulated by the kill, as he did it unarmed, gryphon smiled before regrouping with Ruby. " report?" He asked Ruby smiled at him before we dropped. " we lost 3 bullheads in that fight including the medium one you send for us, thanks by the way, on the ground we have 67% of our main attack force with no major injuries going to the huntsmen," she said gryphon smiled. " like I said they apparently send 70% of there forced to repel you the next two nests should be run. By skeleton crews, before we hit the main base." Gryphon said " wait they have a base?" Yang asked gryphon looked at her, " unfortunately yes, it's a underground bunker which leads who knows where, apparently it's one of the major facilities the grimmen are stationed in vale's part of sanus." Gryphon said

" we need to take it out?" Ruby asked, gryphon nodded. Ruby shifted her weapon to compact form. " let's move, long ranged take point, coco take rear, off to the next den. If we find any point we can approach high ground take it. Everyone form out!" Ruby said as her team and everyone headed out.

Gryphon was next to Ruby, " how many do you expect to see in the skeleton crew?" Gryphon asked " if your right maybe 10-30." Ruby said only when she pushed away a branch and froze… " or maybe we'll see three to four hundred." Ruby said as she looked to show the grimm mostly beowolf's. And some beringrels " they haven't noticed us yet we might be able to chat her them off guard Blake sneak around the back and take out the beringrel first, ren flank around the other side.

Blake and ren dashed off and half way a twig snapped, no one knew who did it but the grimm were alerted to them and charged " WELL TO LATE NOW!" Ruby charged with everyone else. The flood gates of grimm came,

Pyrrha shifted her new weapon a silver version of her spear, into her rifle mode and fired a few times at a beowolf killing it. Jaime charged forward left and cut a flanking Beowolf while Nora knocked a ursa with her hammer throwing it at a beringrel the large ape only caught it and crushed it making it into black haze. The grimm roared and charged about to crush Nora, only for sky to appere and anchored his halbird to the ground pointing up at the ape, as if fell the monkey fell on the shaft and pierced his heart. It flung around wildly before it slowly died.

" thanks." Nora smiled. " yea no prob, come on." He said as he charged off. Ren jumped from tree branch to tree branch fireing off rounds at any small targets he was sure to kill, he jumped to another brantch only to be knocked to the ground. He looked to see what hit him and found a king tigitchu, starring him down, ren sighed and charged, firing his guns. The massive snake lunged but ren limboed under and made several glancing blows.

He stood up and stabbed the white head in the eye while the other cut the head off, he jumped just in time as the fangs hit the ground before he finished it off. He looked back to see the nest a mess but everyone had it handled he looked to a group of vale soldiers firing around them keeping the grimm wolves from overwhelming them. They were to distracted to see several flanking them about to leap and hit them from behind, ren took off charging firing his guns over the soldiers heads, they duck instinctively as they turned to see the bullets firing at the wolf's ren jumped over one guys shoulders as a launch pad and stabbed a launching beowulf in the eyes,

He stood up and looked back at them. " be careful, these are still grimm." He said as he ran off. The soldiers looked before they charged into the hoard, gryphon stayed back to see if he was needed, he looked to see Ruby roll and fire crescent rose, killing two grimm.

Gryphon watched and he heard movement from behind he spins around to see an ursa lunge he was about to pop out his claws when all of a sudden the bear had more bullets in it then Swiss cheese. Gryphon looked around to see coco holding a smoking chain gun. " I had him" gryphon said coco rolled her eyes under her glasses " sure." She said before she heard a roar behind her and she looked to see an alpha beowolf charging, she knew the swing would break a leg and she couldn't dodge, but before the strike could hit her, gryphon jumped and tackled the beast down beating the shit out of it with one hand as the other one held the beast down.

The beast dissipated as gryphon stood up and grinned at coco, "...okay...your really scary." She said " and I pulled back on that guy." Gryphon uttered before following coco into the fray.

After several minutes the team relaxed as the nest was cleared. Coco looked around " CFVY SOUND OFF!" Coco called " Fox here!" Fox called " velvet clear!" Velvet said " yatsuhashi here!" He said

Ruby nodded and followed " Team RWBY FOLLOW SUIT!" She said " Weiss here!" She said " Blake clear!" " WHY. DONT. YOU. DIE!...oh Yang here!" Yang said as she stood over a beowolf looking at her leader before slamming her fist into the beasts the face,

" JNPR!" Jaune called " Nora smash!" Nora called " IM HERE!" Pyrrha called " Ren here!" Ren said. As she stood up Cardin followed " CRDL!" He called " RUSSLE HERE!" Dove free as a bird!" Dove called "..." no response from sky, " SKY? SKY?!" Cardin said " Russell! dove! Who saw sky last?" Cardin asked " umm that would be?" Dove thought " I did." Gryphon said "he assisted Nora from a ursa." Gryphon said pointing to his halberd sticking in the ground. " Ruby sighed and called out orders to locate sky lark " alright guys spread out and find-" Cardin cut her off "No, sky was my responsibility my team will stay by and look for him, you head to the final den, and knock it out." He said " Ruby was trying to come up with a plan to allow them assistance with out the attack group being undermanned. Seeing Ruby not get any headway gryphon stepped in. " good luck Cardin, once you find sky, head to the location of the final den." Gryphon said " gryphon!" Ruby tried to argue but Cardin only heard him and nodded.

" understood good luck sir, TEAM CRDL LOCATE OUR FINAL MEMBER!" He said " wait!" Ruby said Cardin turned " take a squad or two with you that will-" she said but Cardin cut her off. " no doing so would cut you off, we can't allow this to happen if we do you won't reach the final den." Cardin said before she could argue Cardin dashed off.

Gryphon sighed " let's pick it up and move!" Gryphon said as he walked out to the final den. "But gryphon." ruby whined "cardin made his choice i suggest we follow it." he said as he walked away. "Come on i want to get to the final den by nightfall, it's far in the enemy territory and not that far from the landing zone," gryphon said "wait landing zone as in?" nora asked as she followed.

(north west tip of vytal Vale,)

A stormy wind was blowing in the sea as towering waves taller than beacon tower, crashed upon the cliffs of the vytal landmass on the top gryphon stood with jaune and ruby as they overlooks the water, ruby looked and yelled over the storm "this is it then?" gryphon nodded still looking out "this is it!" jaune leaned in "so where are the grimm going to come from to invade the landmass?" gryphon looked along the cliff face then pointed left about 30 yards or so " there, it's the lowest point, on this part while still not reaching the water, the grimm will have to climb a bit but there still do it." he said " and where is the den? Pyrrha asked behind gryphon at the wind blew in her hair. Gryphon looked over his shoulder and pointed back east a bit "there just head straight for a bit and youll be in the thick of it, the grimm wasnt to guard the landing zone so there focus all there stuff there until the invasion." Gryphon said until he froze from hearing the trees move.

Ruby stepped closer to him looking above as well " what is-?" She asked " shush!" Gryphon said putting his finger to his lips as everyone tensed up, suddenly foliage moved making everyone jump as a squad of vales troops came out " SIR WE GOT A- ARRGH!" The soldier taking point cried as he was shot in the back and started to disintegrate " SHIT GET TO COVER NOW! ALL HUNTERS FULL AURA SHEILD!" Gryphon yelled as he dived to a tree. As the whole forest edge was covered with bullets "Return fire!" Gryphon yelled as he picked up the dead man's gun and fired back. " And Don't get hit!"

Gryphon looked to see fox and yatsuhashi teaming a beringerel while Nora and ren gave covering fire to soldiers running from grimmen. Coco laying down suppressive fire while CRDL foraged ahead and slammed a beringrel to the ground. He looked to see yang and Blake dashing about hitting anything they can while Weiss froze beowolfs Ruby stood there frozen.

" Ruby." Gryphon said walking towards her Ruby didn't move " Ruby." Gryphon said as he stood next to her and looked to where she was looking. At a dead grimmen. " Ruby," gryphon said. " how could I have done such a thing?" Ruby gasped ". It's ok it's okay he was a grimm." Gryphon told her

" BUT HE SPOKE, HE HAD A VOICE, HE HAD PLANS, HE HAD, HE'd Begged for his life!" She said " all a ploy to lower your guard so he could kill you." Come on we got a battle to win." He said tapping her shoulder snapping Ruby out of her daze. Gryphon looked to see jaune cut off a leg of a grimmen causing it to fall on his injured leg and try to crawl away, jaune looked sick before Pyrrha put it out of its misery.

Jaune turned around and hacked up his breakfast, Pyrrha tapping his back easing him into it. Pyrrha was so focused she didn't even see the beowolf come up behind her, it was about to lunge when it was shot out of the air by gryphon. Standing there with the rifle in his hands, looking cold, Pyrrha gave a death stair at him but gryphon just turned away.

Gryphon lead the counterforce to beat back the grimm ambush he looked to see several grimmen standing about to charge gryphon threw open his wings, and fired 3 shots killing 2 and grazing one in the shoulder. The one who suvived ran. Only to be pounced by gryphon pinning him down with a foot to his chest as he fired a shot making it dissolve.

Gryphon spotted a grimmen fleeing leaping from tree to tree trying to escape. " RUBY!" Gryphon said " got him!" Ruby said as she fired her shot and killed the grimm with a headshot. After that gryphon stood up " EVERYONE OK?!" He asked " fine!" Ruby called " awake and alive!" Jaune called back. " okay." Coco called

Alright we should move on, were to exposed here." Gryphon said " what was that?" Jaune asked " an ambush" gryphon said " but those were grimm!" Jaune argued back, " yes they were." Gryphon nodded. " are you saying that grimm can effectively plan out and successfully deploy an ambush?!" Ren argued " yea I am, you saw it yourself," he said " and what of those grimm humans?" Weiss asked

" still grimm." He said " this is getting more and more scary the deeper we get." Blake said " unfortunately this is war, where's CRDL?" He asked " here!" Cardin called " you alright?" Gryphon asked " no...we lost sky." Cardin said

" lost as in?" Ruby asked when Cardin pointed to see sky laying on the ground disintegrating. Gryphon lowered his head " when we get back to beacon I'll tell his parents." He said " no, I will I'm team leader I'll take full responsibility." Cardin said " are you sure it doesn't get much better than this." Gryphon said " was it worse last time?" Cardin asked " last time, there wasn't any parents to call, this time were commanding children." Gryphon said as he looked to see how many they had.

" 7 squads, and team's RWBY, JNPR, CFVY, CRL." Gryphon said " can we do it?" Cardin asked " I think so, " let's move, be careful, if there are grimmen here the den will be full of them." Gryphon said he moved them through the forest to the den.

The den was a clearing of escapades like a funnel two open end one facing the ocean the other towards the city, At the den gryphon pulled the brush out of the way," or there might be nothing but grimmen." Gryphon said as he looked at the " camp" there were grimmer walking around moving stuff for easier access several loading guns and looking through the sights.

" what's the plan of attack?" Cardin asked " we need to have confusion, Ruby, take the remaining snipers and head to the back of the camp the largest tent is the command tent, take out the commander," once confusion spreads, all long ranged hunters including the soldiers start blasting everything. All close ranged fighters, keep watch, were going to be loud so it's going to attract grimm to us. You guys take them out." Gryphon said everyone nodded, " Ruby your ranged leader, I'll take command of the rear, after I see there weak we charge in, the ranged members give covering fire," gryphon said Ruby nodded before she ran off.

Gryphon tapped all the close ranged members " lets go we have a lot of walking as we're covering the mouth." Gryphon said ! What about me?" Velvet asked " go with your team." Gryphon said " you have two of our members while coco is ranged, " go with her then." Gryphon whispered.

Gryphon srounded the mouth of the escapades towards the city, when gryphons radio crackled " this is red hunter I'm ready and my sights are locked. You ready to go eagle one?" Ruby called on the radio " eagle one is green light the bucket." Gryphon said

One fifty cal shot rang out before it was drowned out by screams and loud explosions. Nora fired her grenades at all things flammable causing 45% of the stuff to go up in smoke, as everyone else did as well. Gryphon looked back to his group to see hats stabbing a beowolf. And yang punching an ursa " gryphon flipped backwards as a wolf struck at him. " okay I expected a fast reaction, but this is too fast." Gryphon said as he charged forward,

Jaune hid behind his shield before bashing a beowolf and stabbing at it killing it, he hid behind his shield as a ursa swung at him, making him slide. He looked up to see it to be a Ursa Major.

Gryphon landed behind him as the two lookied stood each other, " you expect this reaction?" Jaune asked " no I think we're going to have to charge in sooner that I thought, I'll take the ursa to take the others." Gryphon said jaune nodded " right as the two broke up gryphon going right as jaune went left, jaune charged at a beowulf and getting on his knees blocking an overhead strike before screaming and cutting the beast's head off with his shield."

Gryphon ran at the ursa and ducked as it threw rocks branches and dirt at him. Gryphon jumped in the air and hooked around its back before punching it from behind. He looked up from the dead bear and saw the others went doing so good, he looked to the pass to see the scrambled grimm getting their act together. ' a push now could distablize them or it could be a death sentence.' Gryphon thought he sighed " aw hell, ALL CLOSE RANGED CHARGE!" He yelled as he made a break for the pass everyone following.

In the pass, 3 grimmen were behind a box of cover firing blindly into the forest, " one of them looked to see the other humans being chased by grimm as well " aw hell looks like wave to has just started!" He yelled before he was taken out by a headshot, Ruby cocked crescent rose smirking.

" all grimmen defend this to your last!" The new commander yelled before he was silenced " can someone get rid of those damn snipers!?" A third grimmer asked he looked to see a mounted gun activated "clear the treeline!" He called to the gunner who nodded and sprayed the area. Forcing the humans out, " Nora gunner!" Ren called nora fired a grenade landing in front of the front legs the grenade exploded ripping off the gun from the stand and into scrap.

Gryphon pushed deeper in and jumped up stabbing a grimmen in the neck tackling him making him choke on his own blood. He looked behind him to see all the close ranged fighters holding there own, he hoped it was enough, as gryphon ran deeper into the camp.

Ruby watched gryphon jump in " everyone but snipers charge in!" Ruby said as she fired 3 more times each one hitting their mark.

The soldiers slid down the cliff face firing there rifles, one hopped off doing a combat roll before unloading a mag into a grimmen " Raaaa!" He screamed he was about to blow a finisher with the but of his rifle but he was smacked back to the cliff by a ursa arm. The man broke his back and died by internal bleeding a short time later.

The ursa looked around for another thing to kill when he found one. All alone, killing his beowolf brethren, the ursa roared and charged, only for the guy not to be there anymore the ursa looked up to see the same man descending on him with a pair of wings guiding him. The ursa couldn't even scream.

Gryphon stood up and sniffed as he looked to see the commanders tent open, he looked back to see Cardin having trouble with an ursa. He looked back and forth before deciding to help Cardin. Cardin was on his back holding his mace as a defense's weapon, as gryphon jumped and landed a solid punch on the bears head, Cardin jumped up " thanks." He said " think you can handle it here?" Gryphon asked " perfectly." Cardin said as gryphon ran into the tent.

In the tent he looked to see the maps they were using, it had figures one it but it only showed vale, he looked to see the one on the desk. Having 3 goliaths with arrows leading to an X right at the location of the camp. He looked to the edge, and saw more red arrows this one branching out from the camp. One going to beacon, and the others heading to the city, gryphon looked to see a manuscript of what was coming in the invasion " lets see here?" Gryphon said as he flipped the page over, " all that on the first day?" Gryphon said before flipping over to page to to see each number doubled " crap." Gryphon cursed as he flipped to the third page to see the number stay that way until the reports stop 4 weeks later, " a whole month." Gryphon sighed as he lowered the papers, and looked around, he sighed and thought. He looked to the flap to see only 2 rifles firing, as the firefight died down, gryphon stepped out,

" how's it going out here?" He asked as he saw Ruby shooting at an laying ursa making it dissolve. " finished." Ruby called " anything good?" Pyrrha asked " less than satisfactory Jaune, Ruby, Coco, Cardin in the tent!" Gryphon said as he stepped in. A few seconds later the leaders joined him as gryphon leaned on the table " what is it?" Coco asked as gryphon handed the manuscript to Ruby

"Read that out loud " Gryphon said Ruby looked at the sheet " 3 Goliaths, 280 Grimmen, 3 Nevermores, 40 ursa's, and 500 Beowolf's, on the first day." Ruby said Gryphon nodded " that's the invasion fleet we have incoming. Next page." Gryphon said Ruby flipped the page over 6 Goliath, 560 Grimmen, 6 Nevermores, 80 Ursa, and 1000 Beowolf's." Ruby said " that's only day two we have 4 weeks worth of that, after they land there going to spread out and hit these locations." Gryphon said pointing to the map on the wall.

" but that's beacon!" Coco called Gryphon nodded, " last year they tried and failed this time there doing it right." There going to around the city, and attack the rich district first, deploying all the huntsmen there, first then attacking the then empty school." Gryphon said. " can we stop it?!" Jaune asked gryphon looked down before shaking his head "no." He sighed, " but we have to do something!" Cardin said. " anyone who stayed here will be a death sentence on the second day of not overwhelmed on the first." Gryphon said. " can we do something, head back to beacon and deploy more huntsmen, maybe make a wall of boulders to keep the grimm from entering the pass?!" Jaune called " the wall would take to long as for beacon no one can get back there fast enough to really make a difference, sure Ozpin can call the local huntsmen maybe lager school off from signal but all of them will come too late." Gryphon sighed " I didn't say use graduated huntsmen." Jaune said gryphon turned up slowly " you suggest using children to hold the line and basically die for their kingdom to allow us time to get the necessary backup needed to stage an adequate counter offensive that may or may not work?" Gryphon asked.

" it is our job." Cardin argued, " and went we were allowed to the school we knew the prospect we might not be coming back. " pulse we could use the more experienced 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years along with the teachers as well that should be adequate." Ruby suggested " that still leaves the school open." Gryphon said but Cardin argued " no it doesn't, as headmaster Ozpin and the first year students can hold the line if anything happends, and we Glynda is here she can make the stone wall on both sides giving up ample time to redeploy them else where to counter the invasion." Coco nodded in agreement, gryphon thought " that might actually work. We could-" gryphon was cut out when a call from outside " BOSS YOU NEED TO SEE THIS!" Gryphon along with the leaders followed gryphon ran back to the cliff " what is it?" He asked a scout who gave gryphon his binoculars he looked " Aw Dio maleït sigui ( god damnit) this is not my best day ever," gryphon said "what is it?" Ruby asked as gryphon handed Ruby the binoculars to her, " D-day's come early." He said as he walked off.

Ruby looked through the binoculars and saw metal boats riding the waves, one with Grimmen, another with Ursa, and one with Beowolf's. gryphon turned around and called " Velvet come here!" He called as the rabbit came to him " Coco, Velvet you two are going to each side of the escapades and lay down heavy fire from your chainguns, in have Nora do the same, one for each Goliath. Ruby, take the snipers and assist the chain gunners by picking those farther off withering down the numbers, jaune, take the remains of your team with CRDL and the vale militia, and set up as much of the wall as you can." He said as jaune nodded as everyone ran off gryphon called in the camp " DOES ANYONE HAVE A SCROLL I CAN USE!?" He called. As he caught Ruby's scroll " thanks, now get in position." Gryphon said as Ruby nodded and ran off. Nora hopped over middle of the pass, and set up her grenade launcher, " how many do you have?" He asked her. " the launcher holds six at a time, and I've modified it so I can shoot any type of grenade, and seeing as the grimm left 40 crates leftover, I think I'm good for a while." Nora smiled gryphon tapped her shoulder and walked back to the tent to call Ozpin.

( on the water)

The grimmen were stuck shoulder to shoulder one was looking at the sky, " hey where's our air support?" He asked " who cares about air support why ask about air support we don't need it there no offense happening we're just getting in position for the invasion." His friend next to him said. The boat rocked them as driver looked to see the cliff face he called out to the group in the boat "50 seconds!" He said before getting on the radio were coming up on the cliff face, get the goliaths above the water." He said

The boat cleared the water to reveal they were actually strapped to the back of the giant elephant's. as they approached the shore the goliaths were able to stand on there own, Ruby looked through her sight of crescent rose, and fired.

Back on the water the driver looked back at the three elephants they were riding " 15 sec-!" He was cut off as a bullet hit him in the head making the driver fall to the side hitting the wheel making the elephant go off course and crash into the one on the left. After that both Coco, and velvet started opening fire, " Nora go for the one holding the Ursa it's the one still on track!" Coco yelled Nora turned to the fatheist one and fired her genrades one of them landed on the boat, the explosion killed 15-20 Ursa. The other two Goliath's got back on track and reached the cliffface, " somhow are they-?" Velvet asked when a elephant put his front paw on the cliffface and pulled himself up, Making the ground shake " oh." She said.

In the tent gryphon was talking to Ozpin, " it seems like the only possible option." He said " at least what we have available to us." He said but gryphon looked down " I don't like it though, it's still sending these kids to there death," gryphon said " I don't like it either but we don't have any choice-" Ozpin said when the scroll shook " what was that?" He asked " D-day." Gryphon said Ozpin looked above the scroll " GLYNDA GET TO THE BULLHEAD BAY AND ASSIST THE COUNTER INVASION WITH GRYPHON, TAKE ALL 2nd,3rd and 4th years!" He said." He looked at gryphon " good luck." He said as he logged off.

Gryphon sighed and exited the tent and looked to the beach to see velvet and coco focusing on the closet Goliath, the second one right behind it. " TAKE OUT ITS LEGS IT WILL TOPPLE OVER!" Gryphon said.

Velvet and coco focused fire on the left leg while Nora fired all six shots at the elephant's head the foot exploded and the blast wave was enough to send it back into the water, crashing into the second Goliath as it fell but only took out the driver. " vale Milita move up and assist the derooting of that Goliath!" Gryphon called everyone moved up and fired there guns. Unfortunately the Goliath was able to get its trunk above the ground and swing it like a whip making them lose 7 men, as they fell to the ocean.

The Goliath stood up and emptied the boat of the 500 beowolf's there, before Nora knocked it back to the ocean when it hit the ocean floor the boat snapped breaking the elephant's back.

" all men used to build the wall TAKE OUT THE NEWLY ARRIVED BEOWOLF's gryphon called as he cut 7 down. Before Cardin took his place.

At beacon people were scrambling to get in the bullheads and take off, Glynda found one already in the air and made a jump to get it, she did and the ship flew off. She looked out at the landing zone to see the war zone she was coming up on. " PILOT I WANT TO TO CIRCLE AROUND AND LAY DOWN COVERING FIRE AT THE WATER!" She said the pilot nodded but Glynda didn't see she had jumped off.

Glynda freefell so serenely as she breathed deep before flipping around and landing in a crouch she lifted her right leg and few her crop and slammed her foot down projecting her aura as she did so, the result was a line of stalactites popping up in a line to the cliff face which impaled a Ursa and saved Nora Valkyrie.

Glynda ran forward and flipped her crop at any grimm she saw lifting them up and sending them flying, she jumped over a ursa in the way and flipped her drop down, which snapped the bears neck as its mouth met his groin. She turned around " ALL HUNTSMEN GET BACK!" She said as she formed grabbed the boulders with her semblance, and lifted them up, all the students jumped behind her as Glynda brought down the crop keeping the landform safe from the grimm. Glynda panted as she tried to regain her energy, the students cheered as they survived the encounter.

" nice work Glynda, now we have to make sure they can't use this place for a landing again." Gryphon said " come here there's a chair." Gryphon said as he walked away Glynda followed until some on the boulders started to fall down " umm miss goodwitch!" Ruby called. Glynda looked and flicked her crop up making big rods pop out of the the ground as reinforcements. Glynda sighed as she entered, the tent, " now all these are the maps, manuscripts, key locations and plans the grimm plan to strike at, bring this to Ozpin and make him read it," gryphon said Glynda nodded and took the files and got on the transport teams CvFY and CRD followed her but gryphon and teams JNPR and RWBY stayed behind, she made a wall out of the ground on the other opening, " NOW WHAT ARE WE TO DO IN THIS BOXED CANYON?!" Jaune yelled. " wait for transport." Glynda said as she smiled and flew off. " son of a bitch." Jaune cursed.

( magesaery)

In the council chamber, the Griffins, Dragons, and Pheonixes were talking, " this is worse than we thought, Ozpin just contacted me as he was giving a report from Gryphon, they were ambushed at the tip of vale after they were spotted peeping a camp for invasion." Xanihen said " where are they now?" Thieal asked.

" gryphon along with teams JNPR and RWBY are stuck in the man made box canyon waiting for another bullhead to lift them out." Xanihen said " how are they hanging down there?" Corvus asked " there stable now, but it might unravel soon each side is hiding something and they won't tell what it is." Daviel said " what of the brotherhood, both Qrow and Ozpin are at Beacon, while General Ironwood, is in atlas, with Shades professor out, we haven't heard anything from Lionheart." Henna said when Ozpin sighed face was put on the screen " that's because lion heart is dead, after being revealed as a traitor." Ozpin said " he's dead?" Xanihen asked Ozpin nodded, " what happened?" Xanihen asked " Tyrain came up from behind and killed him, on screen Gryphon redeployed Argosh to the academy." Ozpin said " good now what's up with teams RWBY and JNPR?" Xanihen asked, " we don't know after Glynda left them we've heard no reports." He said

Inside the now boxed canyon, edge closet to vale. Ruby and Weiss stood on their modified home, which was separated from the other side of the camp, Weiss turned to her leader " hey Ruby?" She asked Ruby sighed and lowered her rifle " yes Weiss?" She asked " you ever wonder why we're here?" She asked. " no Weiss I don't wonder why we're here, I don't wonder why we're here when Glynda left us. I don't wonder why, when Nora decided to blockade us from the other side of the canyon, AND I SERIOUSLY DON'T WONDER WHY THE FUCK PEOPLE KEEP ASKING ME HYPOTHETICAL BULLSHIT INSTEAD OF ALLOWING US TO DO OUR GODDAMN JOB!" She yelled.

Weiss starred as Ruby. As Ruby stared at Weiss. "...feeling better?" She asked "...yea…" Ruby said as he looked back out into the canyon. " but seriously Ruby why did we have to be left behind, why not send a bunch of low test scores morons, to do this?" She asked " I don't know a lot of things, I don't know why people think we're evil, or why the grimm want to destroy humanity, all I know is that there evil and if we don't stop them we're all going to die," Ruby said. When down on the ground yang called up to them

" come on ladies, we got some new shit I want to check out!" Yang cried. Weiss sighed, as the two made there way down. In a mother part gryphon was looking over reports and found one of a file which caused him to flashback. The file contained info on Summer Rose.

Gryphon sighed as he remembered the mission that took her life...but that's for another time, " hey gryphon." A voice called behind him " wah!" Gryphon jumped and flipped around to show Ruby. " oh hey Ruby." He sighed " wow your getting rusty if Ruby can sneak up on you." Blake commented. Hanging from a wooden rafter in the tent. " you think you might have a chance to sneak up on me?" Gryphon asked " no, cause even if I did and got the best of you, you would be able to push me away, get your feet settled and kick me like no tomorrow." Blake said gryphon chuckled. " yea your right about that." He said.

" so what is it?" Ruby asked gryphon turned and showed Ruby the file. " but that's?" She asked unsure what to think with the grimm having a file on her mother. " it makes sense, the silver eyed warriors were powerful. And during the grimm war, not the uprising so much, we had whole battalions of them, so the grimm would want all the info they could with any active members, and hunt them down before we could call them to battle." Gryphon said

" so does that mean?" Ruby asked gryphon nodded sadly, " yes...and it was my failure that caused it, I have nothing to give you retribution." Gryphon said. " just tell me what we have to do to stop them." Ruby said, gryphon sighed " as of now help me sort all this info. And find more, the winglords lost contact with the silver eyes warriors after the uprising, with summer being the last, she was a great fighter, in glad you inherited that from her." Gryphon said.

But what of the grimm they most likely are still out there trying to find a new way in." Blake said " like they always will." Gryphon said

In another part of the world, the Grimmen was meeting, werkzt, Kain, Tryan, Hazel, torchwick , donbar who just arrived, and Cinder, they stood over the table everyone in there natural form, sept Cinder who refused to change. " where are we?" She asked " were looking for Watts now then we find flayinks, and Matrum." Torchwick said " good." Cinder said " why should we listen to you yea your the closest to " her" but yet you refuse to show your self." Kain said.

" the fact that she is still the blood of Salem is enough for me. Form or not. What's our next plan?" He asked cinder, who nodded, " Tryan we need a distraction, take a group of grimmen and take over the deadlands, Use emerald and Mercury to their full advantage, Kain, you go with the rest of the grimmen and see if you can locate the others of us, were low on numbers, and with the invasion force in Vale unmountable, were going to need more forces to take over the beachhead, Hazel head out and see if you can locate any other members of the silver eyes warrior's. You will have to be stealthy due to the fact with the killing of Summer they will be on guard." She said he nodded " as you wish." He said " donbar will head back and try to enforce Serna Khan, but with Gryphons reveal he's losing support for his troops, and rejoining him, and donbar is also being put to the wall with Khan, as for me I'm going to head back to vale and stay in the shadow's until our master is awakened, make sure it's Matrum." Cinder said, as she left, " what about beacon?" Hazel asked making cinder stop he turned and looked at her, " if you in vale they will no and send parties after you, how will you dodge them?" He asked " let me handle that." Cinder said making her eyes engnite, before she walked out,
